00:00We'll talk about a place we like, and that's Panera.
00:06They're welcoming back the toasted Frontega chicken sandwich.
00:11That was my wife's go-to for a long time.
00:13It features smoked pulled chicken, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, red onions, fresh basil,
00:18and is topped with chipotle sauce, a black pepper focaccia.
00:22The sandwich was removed from the menu earlier this year,
00:25and a rep for Panera says they've seen a 300% increase in mentions of the sandwich
00:31across social channels, and more than 500 fans have shared their strong feelings
00:35about the sandwich and disappointment of it being removed from the menu.
00:39That's all it takes is 500 people to get something back on a menu?
00:42This is staggering!
00:43A place that serves millions throughout the country?
00:46Yeah.
00:46I would say this, that a lot of times, as with the Taco Bell, Taco Pizza that you mentioned,
00:52they'll purposefully take something off a menu to get people,
00:56so they can do a campaign like this.
00:58500 people, Preston, probably walk in and out of Panera's every day,
01:01confused about where they're walking into.
01:03Right.
01:03So there's no, you know, but it's still, I think it's a solid sandwich.
01:07They have a new chicken sandwich.
01:08I tried that.
01:09And it's clear.
01:12See-through?
01:12No, no, I didn't mean it's clear.
01:14It's understandable.
01:15Oh.
01:16That they, that they're also jumping on the chicken sandwich bandwagon a la Popeye's.
01:22And it's good, you know, it's like a...
01:24It's hard to do a fried menu.
01:25It tastes similar to the McDonald's version of their...
01:28Oh, the grill.
01:29Knocked up chicken...
01:30Not knocked up, not pregnant.
01:32Oh my God.
01:32Oh my God.
01:33What did you just put in me?
01:36A knocked up chicken sandwich.
01:39What's the secret sauce?
01:40Only pregnant eggs.
01:42They're pregnant eggs.
01:43I'm done.
01:43I'm officially done.
01:45Is that semen on that chicken sandwich?
01:50Yeah.
01:51That's how we get you knocked up.
01:52Pregnant eggs.
01:54That's a good bad name, dude.
01:56Pregnant eggs.
01:57Pregnant eggs.
01:58I'll add that.
01:59There's a bump on my egg.
02:01Oh, it's pregnant.
02:04Okay.
02:04Hang on a second.
02:05Does that mean hens are pretty much always pregnant because they're laying eggs every day?
02:11You know, I thought about that too as I said that.
02:14No, because I learned this when I had the chicks.
02:18They have to be fertilized.
02:20Fertilized, I know.
02:21So no, because they're not all going to become a baby.
02:24They're rotating.
02:25They don't...
02:26Like one hen.
02:28How often can a hen deliver eggs?
02:31Can a hen deliver every day?
02:32Yeah, I think every day I've heard from people who raise chickens.
02:35But here's a question.
02:36Do you need a rooster in order to get a hen to lay eggs?
02:39Yes, I believe.
02:39You do?
02:40Well, not to lay eggs.
02:40No, no, no, no.
02:42To fertilize it for it to turn into a chicken someday.
02:44Well, another hen with a strap on.
02:45I know somebody who knows a lot about chickens.
02:47Oh.
02:48And maybe we could call him to be on the show.
02:50Yo, Simmons, you got him.
02:53Yo, Simmons.
02:54Yeah.
02:54Yo.
02:55But no, that is a good question.
02:58Willie hen.
03:02Chickens.
03:05Cock-a-doodle-dole-dole.
03:07Cock-a-doodle-dole-dole.
03:08You want to be your host?
03:10That's it.
03:11Cock-a-doodle-dole-dole-dole-dole.
03:12Start it again, please.
03:14D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d.
03:18Chickens.
03:21Chickens.
03:22I'm sorry.
03:25How many chickens were killed that however long?
03:27Five million.
03:28It was five million, because I'm surprised.
03:29I thought you were still going to be doing your in memoriam.
03:32Oh, shh.
03:33No.
03:35Lonnie.
03:36Oh, that's right.
03:36He was reading off the name of every single chicken that died in that fire.
03:40Torquemada.
03:44All right, Kathy.
03:45Hens will lay eggs with or without a rooster.
03:48Okay.
03:48Without a rooster, your hen's eggs are infertile,
03:50so they won't develop into chicks.
03:52If you do have a rooster, eggs need to be collected daily
03:55and kept in a cool place before being used
03:57so that they won't develop into chicks.
03:59Okay.
03:59So that, okay.
04:00It's a fascinating thing, you know, the way they do it.
04:04And it's a lot of work, though.
04:08Yeah.
04:08Yeah.
04:18I'm going to laugh all weekend about that.
04:20I am, that is good.
04:24That's his new song.
04:28Dear God.
04:33He's still going.
04:34Benny.
04:36David.
04:37Pixie.
04:39Sonya.
04:41Chino.
04:42Oh, my God.
04:44Oh, wow.
04:45Okay.
04:46We should.
04:46I mean, just in honor of all those dead chickens,
04:48we should check in with Gene every now and then.
04:51Every now and then.
04:53He's going to be doing it for five years.
04:55He's going to be doing it for five years.
04:55Yes.
05:01I'm going to be doing it for five years.
05:05Oh, my God.
