Tim and Ben swap childhood memories of cheap, sad meals like instant mashed potatoes and burnt London broil on a bagel, riffing on what poor and divorced families actually eat in America.
- Tim describes a survival strategy: looking sad at Red Lobster to ask for leftover oyster crackers, possibly for money.
- Send your cute kids into Applebee's at the end of a shift and have them cry to get free food—that's American ingenuity.
- The optimal timing: send your children to Olive Garden five minutes before close, asking for leftover food with maximum desperation.
- When the going gets tough, the tough send their children to beg for food at restaurants—that's what America was built on.
- After collecting leftovers from the Cheesecake Factory, go home and watch Selling Sunset while your kids eat the mashed potatoes they earned by crying.
