01:46

unhinged review for a drive-through

baking on the asphalt of Albuquerque

06:21

absurd statement and the fact that I

06:22

there's absolutely no one here what is

09:43

going on it's

09:44

[Music]

09:49

lunchtime I'm just going to ignore that

09:51

for now since they got my orders right

09:53

really the last thing to check is if

09:54

there's actually bacon on this

09:57

burger there is absolutely bacon on my

09:59

Burger the quality of the food looks

10:01

good like it looks on par if not better

10:03

than an average McDonald's this

10:04

McDonald's is also very nice like I feel

10:06

like it's elevated look at those

10:08

lighting fixtures that looks like the

10:09

type of lighting fixture you put in a

10:11

million-dollar Mansion what I'm trying

10:12

to say is I'm going to absolutely devour

10:14

this meal and then write my review while

10:15

I was eating my McDonald's burger

10:17

something unbelievable happened well

10:19

it's actually not that crazy my dad

10:20

texted me that's a pretty reasonable

10:21

thing that would happen to me but my dad

10:23

texted me a photo of his home-cooked

10:24

Burger which is like my favorite meal in

10:26

the world and all of a sudden this one

10:27

didn't taste the same but at least at

10:29

least I got this toy to play with I

10:31

finished my meal it was delicious I

10:33

can't believe I came all the way to

10:35

Detroit Michigan to literally go to the

10:36

most normal McDonald's ever I really

10:38

just don't understand why it's so empty

10:40

to me it has to be for a reason either

10:42

way I have to be honest and with that

10:44

being said here's my

10:50

[Music]

10:58

review

11:00

[Music]

11:13

I never thought I'd say this but I am in

11:15

Omaha Nebraska and I bought merch behind

11:18

me is a drive-thru you can see the cars

11:20

entering to capture their food it is so

11:22

windy and so cold I could really go for

11:24

a hot meal so let's hope these reviews

11:26

aren't true tutty who is literally from

11:28

the same town I was is born in said I am

11:30

in town from great state of Texas okay

11:32

TDY me too ye-haw and as usual I head

11:35

quickly to Runza never mind I stopped by

11:38

this Runza at 8:30 p.m. and asked for

11:41

the Runza meal only to be told they are

11:43

out of runzas how in the world are you

11:45

out of runzas your name is Runza if this

11:47

is how this location operates if this is

11:50

how this location operates I think I

11:52

need to figure out how to make my own

11:53

kind of runs of sandwiches one star TDY

11:56

I love you but you don't feel like a

11:58

real person to me I need need answers Dr

12:00

Jim ooh we got a doctor on Yelp okay

12:03

this is the worst Runza I have ever seen

12:06

this is the only Runza I've ever seen so

12:08

let's continue reading the last time I

12:10

came here I got a burger right Burger

12:12

was dried out cold full of grease

12:13

resembling that which was cooked the

12:14

night before the fries were cold as ice

12:16

I don't understand the lack of warmth in

12:17

this food it's like they got their

12:19

utilities turned off and they're still

12:20

trying to run a restaurant I sent a

12:21

complaint to corporate they ignored me

12:23

not even so much as a up yours Jim screw

12:25

this Runza don't make this mistake two

12:27

blocks north of here in the Nebraska

12:28

furniture mark is a Burger King far

12:30

better food one star Dr Jim is so so

12:32

upset the utility's turned off comment

12:34

is wild I will be trying that Burger

12:36

King he mentioned after this and what

12:38

does he mean it's in the Nebraska

12:39

Furniture Mart I can't wait to see that

12:41

place Isabelle said the only consistent

12:43

thing in my life is Runza for getting my

12:45

Ranch there are two certainties in life

12:47

one is death and the other is Runza for

12:49

getting my Ranch one star I know what

12:51

sauce I'm asking for Isabelle is in pain

12:54

next is Rob K hi Rob how are you doing

12:56

Rob he looks nice hard to believe the

12:58

good name of Runza gets run through the

13:00

mud and has their reputation turned up

13:03

Blake slaughterer just from this

13:04

location alone the wife informed me it

13:06

is only worth eating at weekday at lunch

13:09

Apparently that is older crew who not

13:10

only cares about quality food they treat

13:13

everyone who passes through with the

13:15

utmost respect once star the good news

13:17

is I'm here on a weekday at lunch the

13:20

bad news is none of us can ever use a

13:22

period in a sentence ever again because

13:24

Rob stole them all enough said my rental

13:26

car in Nebraska is a Jeep Compass yay I

13:28

love Jeep Compass I have a very clear

13:30

order of operations let's do this I'm

13:32

really excited to see what he means by

13:34

older crew this menu is interesting hey

13:36

so I'm I'm actually from Texas what is

13:38

Aza arza is beef cabbage onions and

13:41

spices made in homemade bread awesome

13:44

well let me just get the Runza meal with

13:45

the side of ranch yeah number one was

13:47

what was a drink on there ooh let me

13:49

just do a water you anything else that's

13:52

going to be it thank you all right I'll

13:53

throw a discount since you out Town

13:55

cheers thanks I don't know if it's

13:57

because I'm from Texas but I've

13:58

literally never heard of runs in my life

14:00

it looks like a hamburger if it was in

14:02

Hot Pocket form she said there's cabbage

14:04

and onions in it I'm scared of both but

14:06

these are the things we do to test one

14:08

star reviews okay it's my turn let's see

14:10

if they forget my

14:11

[Music]

14:13

Ranch hi

14:15

967 all right how are you good how you

14:18

doing doing good first time tunza I'm

14:20

from Texas oh and there you go awesome

14:24

thanks so much a she was older that's

14:27

sweet her reaction to me saying that I

14:29

came all the way here for this was quite

14:30

suspicious she said oh inside this bag

14:33

holds the future of my Yelp account will

14:35

I break my five star streak check it out

14:38

where's the ranch where's the

14:43

ranch you're never going to believe this

14:46

I'll meet you

14:50

inside yo you'll never believe it you're

14:53

actually never going to believe the news

14:54

they didn't forget the ranch that's at

14:56

least three stars on my review there's

14:58

like four people in here here and

14:59

they're all looking at me yeah oh we're

15:01

clearing out why is everyone clearing

15:02

out so the Runza meal comes with fries

15:04

yes I'm in cinematic mode because Runza

15:06

is a movie it also comes with ranch

15:08

don't look at my fingernails a drink I

15:10

got water because I'm being healthy and

15:11

arguably most important the Runza today

15:14

is the last day I'll ever not know what

15:15

a Runza is I feel like it's slappable is

15:17

that weird that was borderline Chipotle

15:19

burrito I did pay $10 for this meal it's

15:23

got the Shivers hope I don't get the

15:24

runs after

15:27

this

15:33

bro that's so

15:40

good there was literally an altercation

15:42

at the counter the woman came in said

15:43

where's my Ranch that's crazy now I

15:46

don't know how to feel because I got my

15:48

Ranch I can only speak for myself that's

15:50

all I can do and I love Runa this might

15:53

be my new favorite restaurant okay but

15:54

how are the

15:56

fries G bro there

15:59

so if RZA is this good I can't wait to

16:02

try that Burger King down the block in

16:03

the furniture store so I pull up to the

16:05

Nebraska furniture mark but I don't see

16:07

a Burger King I see a Subway does Dr Jim

16:10

know about this excuse me is there a

16:11

Burger King here no okay was there used

16:14

to be at one time but now it's Subway

16:16

okay gotcha awesome thank you I'm living

16:18

Dr Jim's

16:23

[Music]

16:27

nightmare

16:29

it's me I'm the hooded figure it's

16:31

actually hilarious to think that I'm

16:33

spending an entire week and hundreds of

16:35

dollars to travel to drive throughs to

16:37

test their onear reviews how did y'all

16:39

let me become a YouTuber my next stop is

16:41

in Austin Texas how's it going yeul I

16:44

live here a random Canadian number

16:46

texted me an address saying yo you got

16:48

to try this drive-thru which is

16:50

concerning for multiple reasons

16:51

partially because this driver has no

16:53

reviews but also who lives in Canada and

16:55

knows that I'm filming this video well

16:57

the address is right at the end of this

16:58

stream which is extremely sketchy

17:00

because there's nothing here but I'm not

17:01

going to pass up the opportunity to be

17:03

the first review ever on a drivethru

17:05

that being said let's drive to the end

17:07

of the street as I drove down the street

17:09

I I actually started panicking because

17:11

there are no buildings on this road no

17:20

way are you selling Joy Ride what can I

17:23

get you um okay I parked down the road I

17:27

don't know what's going on I don't know

17:29

what that is but I'm extremely

17:30

uncomfortable right

17:32

now oh my gosh were you the unknown

17:34

number from Canada this all makes sense

17:36

that shoppy would put this together did

17:38

you hear about the Joy Ride launch yep

17:40

okay all right well since shoppie is

17:42

here this is the perfect time to say

17:44

thank you for the support on my joy ride

17:45

launch if you're just now hearing about

17:47

this Joy Ride is my candy I launched our

17:49

sour strips with Shopify and we

17:51

completely sold out of all of our sour

17:53

that was like a month ago seeing all of

17:56

you guys post stories and shorts trying

17:58

it and and loving it it makes me so

17:59

happy it's crazy as a kid from a little

18:01

farm toown in Texas all I got to say is

18:04

18:06

lot of things and I always use Shopify

18:11

Shopify using my link shopify.com ranran

18:45

love you shoppy do you need a ride okay

18:47

to Canada I called shoppy in Uber and

18:48

then made my way to Kansas

18:51

City where it is extremely cold you

18:53

wouldn't really think that but it

18:57

is

19:02

I have made it to the City of Angels

19:04

Shaunie Kansas I cannot stress this

19:06

enough that out of all of the FIS in the

19:08

world all of them this is the FIS that I

19:11

had to come to I honestly find it pretty

19:13

crazy that a FIS even has a drive-thru I

19:15

just don't see a world where an entire

19:16

lasagna should be handed to someone

19:18

through a window oh well look what time

19:20

it is I don't have a choice here are the

19:21

onear reviews I'm testing several of

19:23

them are about long wait times like 20

19:25

to 30 minutes even up to 45 minutes to

19:28

get a single order of ravioli what the

19:30

heck however Michael has a different

19:31

bone to pick come on FIS are you that

19:33

annoyed with me for ordering a water

19:35

that you hand me this tiny little water

19:37

out of Spike do you really think this is

19:38

going to motivate me to buy a full-size

19:40

soda next time well guess what there

19:41

won't be a next time because you just

19:43

had to be Petty about a man and his

19:44

hydration one star I mean that cup looks

19:46

really little or Michael has the hands

19:48

of a giant Greg's review is my worst

19:50

nightmare this is my first onear review

19:52

ever look at my Yelp status I'm Elite

19:54

for a reason someone puts their identity

19:56

into their Yelp status no it's fine I

19:58

would I review a lot of places this is

20:00

the worst if you come here and can tell

20:02

they're all upset with each other and

20:03

still choose to stay that's Ana lasagna

20:06

one star is this how you pulled Elite

20:08

status Greg food puns that's so bad Eve

20:11

said I wish I could offer a better

20:13

review but it simply can't be justified

20:15

nothing about this place is okay it is

20:17

impossible to know when the drive-thru

20:19

will be closed without going there and

20:20

if it is your chances are a wasted trip

20:22

don't come from out of town for this FIS

20:24

one

20:25

star Eve what if I told you I came from

20:28

out of state I traveled so far I hope

20:30

the drive-thru is open no one's there

20:32

right now let's hear from Tim T we might

20:34

have hit it on a bad day yeah we might

20:36

have hit it on a bad day one star that's

20:39

the spirit Tim lastly Kelly blessed us

20:42

with the script of the next Avengers

20:44

movie me watching the manager chat with

20:46

customers for 10 minutes finally she

20:47

Walks Behind the Counter then my son

20:49

says can I get pasta with no sauce and

20:51

the manager's all like you won what my

20:53

son is obviously embarrassed and I say

20:55

under my breath what a Blake slaughterer

20:57

then the manager looks at me with with

20:58

the anger of a thousand sons and my son

21:00

says p with no sauce the manager is

21:03

silent I'm canceling your order and I'm

21:05

like I'm never coming here again mom one

21:07

star okay I don't know whose side I'm on

21:09

like I can't tell who the bad guy is in

21:11

this review all I know is I'm rooting

21:13

for the Sun get this boy pasta with no

21:14

sauce it's simple look I came out to

21:16

Kansas for a reason and my instructions

21:18

are clear I got a free upgrade on my

21:20

rental car today Ford Expedition this

21:22

car is way too big I just had to drive

21:23

to FIS that's all I needed to do but I'm

21:25

not turning down a free upgrade I can't

21:27

tell if the drivethru is open I really

21:29

can't thank you for choosing go ahead

21:30

and order when you're ready all right

21:32

they're open yeah can I just get pasta

21:34

with no sauce and a water cup what kind

21:37

of pasta would you like how about

21:38

fetuccini fetuccini anything else that's

21:41

going to be all it's

21:42

1040 okay uh why did I just get charged

21:45

$10.40 for pasta with no sauce that

21:48

watercup better be huge this sign does

21:51

say made to order fast fresh Italian and

21:53

it says my food is going to be hot fresh

21:55

and worth the waight kind of crazy

21:57

they're just like self-proclaim there

21:58

will be a weight hi 1040 awesome thank

22:02

you thank you is this the normal water

22:04

size y awesome hey cheers thanks this is

22:07

a small water cup but to be fair that

22:09

guy just has massive hands and

22:11

unfortunately I can't say the same about

22:12

myself everything went smoothly in the

22:14

Drive-Thru I've got my bag of pizoli but

22:16

I still have to write onest festar

22:18

review and I'm going in the

22:22

restaurant First Impressions it is kind

22:25

of lively in here like The Vibes are

22:27

good they are playing the weekend which

22:28

which is always a good sign when you

22:29

walk into an Italian restaurant she told

22:32

me let's check out our pasta so this is

22:34

what my meal came with we have water cup

22:37

pasta and bread sticks water test M the

22:41

water is small but it's good bread stick

22:43

I didn't even pay for this

22:46

WOW red sticks 10 out of 10 that's at

22:49

least two stars on the riew right there

22:50

I don't know what's crazier the fact

22:52

that Kelly left that review or the fact

22:53

that her son orders this this is crazy

22:55

the fetuccini pasta appears to be

22:59

yellow it certainly lacks the flavor of

23:02

a traditional dish but that's probably

23:04

because I was forced to get no

23:06

sauce the pasta is fire I think I need a

23:09

little bit more Intel I'm going to ask

23:10

some customers their thoughts all right

23:11

I'm here with Ray William Donald I'm

23:13

here with Ray and Donald how long have

23:14

you guys been coming to this FIS five

23:16

years 5 years young are you guys a big

23:18

fan of the restaurant yes what's the

23:19

best thing about FIS everybody all the

23:22

employees are so friendly and so nice

23:25

Okay I was told to get just pasta with

23:27

no sauce just not not the best thing on

23:30

the menu no I would not get that ever

23:32

well thank you guys so much appreciate

23:33

it Ray thanks

23:38

[Music]

23:43

Donald I'm on my way to the next city

23:45

and this plane has a window in the

23:47

bathroom I asked the guy next to me to

23:49

get a video out of this window and guess

23:51

what we have made it to Chicago Illinois

23:53

Illinois Illinois help me in the

23:55

comments this is the most exciting

23:57

drive-thru by far it's called cosmics

23:59

it's brand new and after driving for

24:00

like an hour it looks like I'm in the

24:02

middle of nowhere and then I found

24:04

[Music]

24:08

it I have truly saved the best for last

24:12

Cosmic woo spooky it's not spooky this

24:15

is the only one in the entire world I'm

24:17

in Bowling Brook Illinois pretty much

24:19

the most epic town I've ever seen I

24:20

don't know why we're not all moving to

24:22

Bowling Brook Illinois but maybe this

24:24

segment will change your mind Cosmic is

24:26

basically a McDonald's except they have

24:28

fun drinks snacks Etc some critics are

24:31

saying the menu is stupid insanely long

24:33

lines is a common theme one lady even

24:35

waited 4 hours According to some local

24:38

news outlets and she said it was worth

24:40

it so what's the truth Shan M said the

24:43

churo frappe tastes like gasoline one

24:45

star okay well that can't be healthy but

24:47

you don't fly across the country to

24:49

cosmics to make good decisions Rocky

24:51

said mck pop we're good but I just want

24:53

this chain to fail so one star one thing

24:56

about Rocky he's going to say what's on

24:57

his mind if I lived in Bowling Brook I

24:59

might be praying on the downfall of

25:00

cosmics 2 dang those mck pops look good

25:02

Ava had perhaps the most outrageous

25:04

weight time I've seen so far hopefully a

25:06

typo bad AF don't go or else wait in

25:09

line 8 to 13 hours daily and it's

25:11

anticipated to get worse what that's the

25:13

entire day anyways the reason I wanted

25:15

to highlight this drive-thru other than

25:17

me just being curious because it looks

25:19

really cool is because Danny left this

25:20

review came here to see what all the H

25:23

is about I order a chai latte with

25:25

almond milk no foam she hands it to me I

25:27

can tell from the weight there's foone

25:28

so I hand it back to her and tell her I

25:30

asked for my drink with no phone she

25:31

says that the ticket says no phone I

25:34

said I understand the ticket says no

25:36

foone but there is foone wait what what

25:38

Danny keeps going back and forth between

25:40

the word foam and phone and that makes

25:43

things very difficult to understand I

25:45

handed it back to her she reluctantly

25:46

takes it she hands it back to me a

25:48

minute later says have a good day it

25:50

feels the same I said there's foam in

25:52

here she said no there's not I don't

25:53

have time for stupid arguments so I

25:55

leave I pull around the corner and open

25:56

it up wow instead of them remaking this

25:58

for me with no foam they literally

26:00

handed me a cup that has no foam but

26:02

it's down about a quarter of the way are

26:04

you freaking kidding me this is the

26:05

stupidest thing I've ever seen just for

26:06

the heck of it I took a sip sucks so

26:08

even if they could get the phone thing

26:10

right bro can we get an up like what do

26:11

you mean he said phone four times in

26:13

this review so far phone Danny silly it

26:16

still sucks I went back and asked for a

26:17

refund and this older lady starts

26:19

arguing with me oh my gosh I know what

26:21

I'm talking about a customer knows what

26:22

they're talking about Cosmic joke one

26:24

star Danny I'm sorry but it seems

26:26

impossible to please you I'm not even

26:28

you know what you want I'm ordering a

26:29

gasoline churo frappe MC pops a chai

26:32

latte with almond milk and no foam and

26:35

no matter what's in the cup I'm going to

26:36

hand it back to them and say there's

26:38

foam in here because that's what Danny

26:39

did and lastly we're going to see if the

26:41

wait time is truly 8 to 13 hours I'm

26:44

really excited let's do it my final

26:47

redel car is by far the best it's a

26:49

Chrysler minivan there definitely is a

26:51

line but there's also four lanes it's a

26:53

Thursday at 2:30 p.m. so it's kind of

26:56

insane that there's this much of a

26:57

weight but regardless here goes nothing

26:59

I don't know if I should go in that line

27:00

that line that line or that line the

27:01

good news is Ava's review already busted

27:04

this might not even be 8 to 13 minutes

27:07

okay here's the menu here we go that's

27:09

where we order awesome what can I get

27:11

started for you I'm going to get the

27:12

turo frappe chai latte with almond milk

27:15

and no foam gotcha lastly I'm just going

27:17

to get a mixed bag of MC pops great

27:20

27:22

27:23

sharing I'll bring home something to my

27:25

wife too of course yeah that looks good

27:27

total today it's going to be 2045 this

27:29

27:32

27:34

27:47

27:48

menace and say there's no foam in there

27:50

there's literally no foam in there oh

27:52

that smells good anyways look John says

27:54

the churo latte tastes like

27:56

gasoline so dear oh my gosh not going to

28:00

do that

28:02

again not going to lie I think Sean has

28:05

a point it does kind of have a semblance

28:06

of gasoline feel like I'm sitting at a

28:08

three out of five stars right now these

28:10

mcps need to be miraculous for an honest

28:12

five-star review to come out of this

28:13

28:15

[Music]

29:13

review but my journey isn't over yet I

29:16

with the MC poops she was excited and

29:19

the next evening I had one more thing to

29:21

do my dad made us his famous burgers I

and nothing beats a home cooked meal

29:28

Haley and my dad surprised me with a

29:29

cake for hitting 15 million subscribers
