Okay, I have some pull here.
Yes?
So, this is what we're gonna do. These guys are gonna let us go back there and customize our sandwiches. Make them exactly how we want to.
How do we want it? I'm not exactly sure yet. How do you want it?
Well, we're gonna share a footlong, so we're gonna have to agree. We're gonna have to compromise.
We might have to. I'm not good at compromise.
Neither am I. All right. Ready? All right. So, wheat. Can we Can we agree on wheat? Wheat bread.
Wheat bread. I'm going I'm going with you on that. Turkey. I'm a turkey guy. Are you a turkey guy?
I'm a turkey guy. Okay, perfect. What goes with turkey? I'm I'm thinking chicken? No, that's both birds. Roast beef?
Roast beef. Sure, why not? All right. Why not? Let's do roast beef.
Okay, perfect. All right, how about I handle the cheese?
Oh. Great. Thank you so much for handling the cheese. When in Rome...
When in New Orleans, add cheese to everything. That's the lesson here.
What about the shredded cheese?

Okay. That's just too much. Okay. I got all excited. Okay, here's where we might disagree. I don't like that. Okay. I'm no no onions.
I can go with that. Really? Why would we want our breath to smell? Why would we want it? No. I mean, we're sharing a footlong.
We're sharing a footlong. Let's yeah, let's keep it real. Yeah. What about tomatoes?
Yeah. I say yeah. Oh no. Oh no. We're gonna have to go half. We're gonna have to go halvesies on that. We can do that. I like it to be crisp. Not get all watery. I mean, tomato is a watery fruit. It's a fruit. Did you know that? It's a fruit. It's not a veggie.
What do we like sauces-wise?
Sauces-wise. My thing. I think we can do whatever we want. We can, because we can go halvesies. My thing is the oil and vinegar, salt and pepper action.
You know what? I'm gonna try it. I'm gonna go with you. Have you ever done that? No, you mean, our relationship has grown so much in just this brief period of time. I feel like I can try whatever you'd like. See, people, if you ever want to get close with your mate, make a Subway sandwich together. It's actually you learn so much about each other. Have you had their breakfast, by the way?
I have.
What do you like?
I like the steak and egg tick. That's good.
Three bucks. Is it? Yeah. This is how you do it. Okay. That's good luck. Wait. Oh. Oh. That was fun. Okay. We made a big sandwich.
Yes. This is gonna be epic actually.
That is impressive. Can we have a round of applause at Subway for Brian? Now, throw it like a football.
Oh, throw it like a football now? No. Not yet, not yet.
What are we gonna call our baby? Our baby? Um, I think we should call it Bourbon.
Love it. We're in New Orleans. Bourbon. Let's go eat the Bourbon. Bourbon beef.
Okay, so let's discuss, too. You are here in New Orleans for the Super Bowl, but you, unlike myself, have a Super Bowl spot for Subway.
For Subway. Yeah.
Yes. And you were sort of like the scene setter and the scene stealer.
Yes. From what I heard. I set it up and I knock it down.
Okay. How do you do that? Give me a tip. How do you set it up and knock it down?
It's really just natural ability. This is really different for me. With the oil and vinegar. All right. I'm a little nervous. I hope.
Are you? Okay, here we go. Oh, good. Okay, it is actually good. It is actually good. That's a good combo, the roast beef and the turkey. I know. Someone should think of that. So the commercial Right. Where you were the scene stealer and the scene setter was actually for Jared.
