Stay tuned to the end: new outro song!!
- Michael is joined by friend and powerhouse of a man, Michael Moore (no relation to the filmmaker/documentarian of the same name) to dine at Texas Roadhouse
- The restaurant started as a spot in a mall in Indiana, so it was neither a roadhouse nor Texan, but that didn't stop owner W. Kent Taylor from building an empire after giving up on opening a Colorado-themed restaurant
- Learn all about the history of the chain dubbed the "Loudest Restaurant in America" in this week's Eat Deets
- Harrison Augustine 💸 Arrylius XIV has had it with the mistreatment of corporations: they're people too, dammit!
- Hear Michael & Michael's first impressions of the place, from the wall of veterans to the lack of peanuts on the floor
- Michael Moore compiles a few very catfish-centric Yelp reviews about this Texas Roadhouse in the middle of nowhere, almost halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas
- More to come next week!
