Time for some more hot chicken! There's a lot going on in this episode with our friend Steven Tobiasz, but what is most important, is probably the conspiracy theory we stumble upon.

Quarantine started a year ago, and even though the end of lockdown isn't too away (hopefully), we had to do one more episode of frozen quaran-tendies before we were allowed to eat at restaurants again. And joining us for this adventure is one of the funniest folks on Twitter, comedian and song writer, Matt Buechele! @mattbooshell on Twitter. Truly a good time from start to finish. WEAR A MASK!

This week we head to a local LA pop-up with funny comedians and "official couple" Ali Lu and Baldev Sandhu. The pop-up is ran out of the Delilah kitchen, but these tenders are nothing like theirs. Tune in to hear our thoughts on these and TikTok. Editors note: Unfortunately, before we could even drop the episode, FCK has ceased operations of their pop-up for the foreseeable future. So this might not be available to you any time soon. WEAR A MASK! BE A TENDER FRIEND! SUBSCRIBE. SHARE. TAP 5 STARS. LEAVE A REVIEW.
