3 minTim rants about a sandwich shop giving out his studio address and refusing delivery, then spirals into a detailed rant about McDonald's fillet of fish sandwiches needing steamed buns, ordering hacks, and the psychology of regular McDonald's customers, plus a bit about ordering at odd hours.
- 0:31Tim wants to punch the woman at Angela's Sandwich Shop in the face over a Thanksgiving sandwich order.
- 0:44Thanksgiving sandwich is turkey, cheddar, stuffing, cranberry, and gravy on a hero — though Tim questions why there's cheese on it.
- 1:08The shop charged his card, then called back claiming they couldn't deliver to the East Village address he'd already provided them.
- 1:35Tim demands to know why they didn't check his delivery address before running his card.
- 1:50He ended up ordering fillet of fish from McDonald's instead, but they didn't steam the bun, ruining it.
- 2:00A proper fillet of fish should feel like a cloud of soft salt in your mouth.
- 2:21His co-host notes Tim rants about bad fish filet sandwiches constantly, off air and on.
- 2:35The co-host jokes that people see Tim coming and assume he's cursed, so they just throw anything at him.
- 2:53Steaming the bun is critical because no one knows when the bun was actually made.
- 3:06Tim's hack from his McDonald's days: request special modifications like extra sauce or pickles to force them to make it fresh.
