This episode deals with a heavy topic. There's no avoiding that. Considering the amount of bad takes and misinformation going around, it's important to spread the word on what happened. Whether you love these content creators or not, some of the facts alone are down right disturbing. On this episode, you will learn those concrete details of the situation, and with Brian's comedic stylings understand the absurdity of the situation.

Sadge if you missed your chance to watch a mega church butcher a Broadway classic, but luckily this hateful show did not go on. Find out why it makes too much sense that this production even came to be, and also learn about some other really bizarre news stories. On this episode we'll also do an AMA, random trivia, and Truth or Dare. Of course we will also be covering today's food holiday: National Coffee Ice Cream Day.

That's right, folks. Forget the dough. Not like it's essential to the very essence of what makes something a pizza, right? If you think that's crazy, there are even more goofy stories in this episode. We kick things off with a fan question, then dive into the news. After that we discuss the food holiday for the day, tackle a trivia question, and then play truth or dare.

Thank You!

A lot of amazing people and places made the Full Belly Laughs Podcast possible, and also just made Brian Durkin a better comedian and person.

Thank You, Creators

Rob Zawatski, Dena Miranda, and Steve from Bridgeset Sound really helped shape the show you heard every week. Steve helped equip Brian with his current podcast gear, to make the show sound great. Dena Miranda laid down the vocals for the opening theme, and Rob helped produce and record that theme. Rob also encouraged Brian to check out podcasting, and without that nudge, none of this stuff would have happened. Thank you to Steve, Dena, and Rob.

Thank You, Guests

So many guests over the years made the Full Belly Laughs Podcast something special, but a few people really made the show awesome. Thank you to Megan Goetz, Ben Farrell, Joe Messina, Max Barth, Christian Mangual, and Greg Trout for their contributions to the podcast. These reoccurring guests helped shape the tone of the show, and these people really helped out Brian when another guest would cancel. They were always excited to do the podcast, and Brian is so grateful for their talent and time. Thank you to Meg, Ben, Joe, Max, Christian, and Greg.

Thank You, Entities

There are two venues/events that really allowed the FBL Podcast and Brian to grow. Than you to the Philly Improv Theater and the Philadelphia Podcast Festival. Without the experience of performing live at these theaters and events, the show would not be as good; Brian also grew faster as a comedian and performer thanks to these opportunities. Thank you, PHIT and PPF.

Thank You, Friends and Fam

There are a few people close to Brian that really supported the podcast. Special thank you to Alex Colic and Richard Chin for being supportive friends. They helped build up engagement on social media, attended live shows, and even guested on the podcast. Special thank you to Hugh Durkin (Brian's dad). He's been a big supporter of Brian's creative endeavors, and it means a lot. Finally, the closing thank you goes to Lauren Daniels. She is the #1 fan of Full Belly Laughs, inspiring Brian to always make the show entertaining. She has also encouraged Brian on his development, and she continues to be a beacon of light for his spiritual and personal growth. Thank you Alex and Rich. Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Lauren.

Thank You, Fans

It means so much that you took the time to check out and listen to the Full Belly Laughs Podcast. Hopefully you will enjoy the YouTube videos and the live stream on Twitch. Brian looks forward to seeing you in the comments and live chat.

Overcoming Adversity In The Tortilla Game

Brian learned first-hand how pursuing goals in tortilla-making is no easy task. A lot of haters will come after you. For instance, Guinness World Records will try and charge you a ton of money just to get into their books. Pretty wack. Who even reads books anymore anyways? Speedrun websites seems to not count IRL speedruns, which is a dang shame. Hopefully in our lifetimes they will see the error in their ways. For now, we must proclaim our victories loud and proud, and without the help of an authoritative body.

How To Order Calories at Ruby's Diner

First and foremost you will need a big appetite, money in the bank, and plenty of time to eat. Also having a Ruby's Diner near you is helpful. The magic number of 69,420 calories in one order comes from a special combination of 73 menu items. You'll need to average about 3 of each breakfast, and double of most sandwiches and entrees. Just one of each of the salads, since they don't really add much besides more chewing. If you have someone cut up the salads with scissors to do some pre-chewing for you, then it might be worth; however, deviating from this list could mess up the math.

The Roast of Cold Stone Creamery's Web Presence

The shear volume of URLs on the homepage is incredible. Baskin Robbins doesn't even have as many flavors compared the choices presented to the user upon visiting Cold Stone Creamery's website. That's assuming they make it pass the shady SEO on the SERPS for CSC. Whoever did the Cold Stone Creamery marketing actually deployed some shady practices. At the time of this writing, www.coldstonecreamery.com has this meta title: "Birthday Cakes Cupcakes Bakery - Cold Stone Ice Cream". That's what the kids would call "sus". Savage keyword stuffing, and not even putting their proper business name in the title either. Quite shameful honestly. At least they redeem themselves with predictable corporate language and widgets on the site.

Blaze Pizza DIY Kit

If you're interested in making pizza at home, and don't want to start completely from scratch, this is a great way to go. Let's be honest: prepping all the ingredients and making your own pizza dough is a chore. You have to plan hours if not days in advance. If you are in the mood for fresh pizza and don't mind assembling it yourself, the DIY kit is a fantastic way to go. Is it cheaper than just buying pizzas they make? It depends on your appetite. Also you will have dishes after ordering food out going the DIY route, so that's weird.

How Much Is Too Much For a Burrito?

The simple answer to this question is really about your budget. If you can't afford Taco Bell, then you should still not get Taco Bell. Just because that place overs cheap af burritos and tacos that don't provide nutrients, doesn't mean you should still buy it. Tocaya Organica is the same deal, as is eating out in general. Save your money if you need to save. If you want amazing Mexican flavors and high quality food, then check out Tocaya Organica. They over a variety of items: tacos, burritos, salads, bowls, etc. And you don't have to drop a million dollars to taste their goodness. A standard burrito clocks in a little over ten bucks (yes it can cost as much as $26 with crazy substitutions - JaBaited). If you want to save up for a nice and affordable Mexican meal (because this ain't those five star restaurant prices), then consider Tocaya.

Greatest Doughnuts Ever?

Sidecar Doughnuts are in the conversation. These cake doughnuts allow fresh air to flow through them, providing a nice light and fluffy texture. It's like if your Build-a-Bear animal was made of sugar and clouds. You will feel like a folded pair of dungarees after biting into one of these bad boys. Worries will melt away. Cavities will form, but that doesn't matter. You're in doughnut heaven thanks to the skilled sugar crafting by Sidecar. If you're ever in the Los Angeles area, do yourself a solid and check out this awesome spot.
