Watched this a long time ago. Even got to chat with Leroy. Pretty cool dude. Sadly, he/they drifted away from Shenmue. I think they only did a few videos of it. But Rising Tiger Films has a slew of other fighting/drama movies/shorts, that are worth checking out.
KFC Sliders
I had one original (pictured) and one spicy. I was hoping for hot, but it was just spicy. Basically a small chicken tender on a bun, with sauce and a pickle. Was not a fan of the spicy, but the regular one was decent, but nothing to write home about.
I do not see a video that Reviewbrah did of these. I will give the spicy version a 4 out of 10 and the original a 6 out of 10. If you like spicy mayo, you may enjoy the spicy one more. Don't think of them as actually being hot and you might enjoy it more. Also, not sure the two dollar difference to the next tier, with an actual chicken sandwich, would have been better.
Secret Recipe Fries
Decent. Very Taco Bell-ish. Should add a small cup of brown gravy, like TB does with the nacho cheese. These were lightly breaded. Crispy/flaky on the outside, chewy on the inside. Chewy, being a good thing. Not mushy at all. I also liked KFC's potato wedges, but they were consistently dry. The french fries are better, in my opinion.
Reviewbrah gave them a 6 out of 10. I'd give them a 8 out of 10. A side of brown gravy would bring it up to a 9.

KFC Nuggets
Now the most disappointing item from the meal, the nuggets. Not a fan. Reviewbrah praised them, but they are mid at best. Not even chicken "nuggets", just hastily chopped chicken tenders and breaded all around. A couple of mine were very chewy. Then I got a good piece and knew straight away, they were tenders. Five came with the $9 meal. It also came with a dipping sauce. The sauce did not save them, unfortunately.
Reviewbrah gave them a 8.8 out of 10. I can only give them a 4 out of 10. Edible, but not very enjoyable. I won't be getting them again. I did not have a picture of the nuggets themselves, just the outside of the box. So I took a screenshot of Reviewbrah's. They looked the same. Mine were just chewier and distinctly cut up tenders shoved into a box and called "nuggets".

Drink
Mountain Dew Sweet Lightning. Thankfully, I only had a ⅕ cup of it. Way too sweet and no depth. Like, just straight sugar water. Suffered through it and switched to something else.
I also can not find a video where Reviewbrah ranks this particular flavor. I did not know what to expect, but that wasn't it. I also did not have a picture of the drink, so I used a stock photo from the internet. I did not enjoy this at all. Two out of ten.
Overall score for the meal, factoring in price, 6.5 out of 10. You get quite a bit for $9. But the chewiness of the tiny tenders/nuggets and the flavour of the spicy slider, was ehhhh... I did not factor in the drink negatively, as I just switched it to something more to my liking.
With his most recent review, I thought I'd go back and see how his other reviews went with this particular sandwich. Mostly speaking of the oblong chicken patty, regardless of the style, dressing or theme. It's either too salty or too bland.
I have never been a fan of the sandwich itself. I remember decades ago, trying just a plain version of it, I think a 2 for $5 deal. Did not like it then.
Then more recently, but still a while ago, I too, had the Italian version. Terrible. Everything was bland. The tomato sauce was the most flavorful and still mid at best. The bread, of course, was stale. The same with their hamburger buns. Like they keep the bread either out or the bag open, never closing it to keep it fresh.
Down below is the chronological order. I searched and there were only four videos I could find, that were the oblong patty versions. If there are any others, let me know and I can add them to the list. But again, it has to be the oblong patty version and only from Burger King and only reviewed by Reviewbrah.
I also added the score and the price for easy viewing. It is absurd they charge so much for these sandwiches on their own. $9 for a meal is one thing. But for the sandwich by itself, is unfathomable, even in today's economy.
And it appears, that he has a Burger King Original Italian Chicken Sandwich tie. He has the exact same tie or so it appears to be, in both videos. 😅

He really hates these chicken sandwiches from BK. I had the Italian one before, not good. Sauce was the best thing about it, like he had said in the other video. And even that flavour was mid. I avoid these oblong, heavily processed, chicken patties at all cost. The bread, as he said, is almost always stale and flaky. I say almost, because although I have never had a fresh one, they can not all be bad, right? Right? And $9 for the sandwich itself? WTF!?
The man tortures himself, for our viewing pleasure. We should all write to BK, to have them install a Baja Blast fountain option for ReviewBrah, so at least he has that to look forward to. Also, I wonder how many people actually gets this type of chicken sandwich when available or looks forward to eating them. BK keeps trying, keep reinventing, but keep failing with it. I won't ever buy it again. Will you? Do influencers keep these bad practices going?
There is a Taco Casa in Florida, but just one-
Address: 663 W 23rd St, Panama City, FL 32405 Phone: (850) 215-0240
Speaking strictly for tacos, I prefer Taco Casa. Between the two, Taco Casa, the first photo comparison, pictured on the right, loads their normal hard shelled tacos with meat and cheese, overflowing even and their lettuce is fresher.
The picture on the left, is a Taco Bell supreme taco, which is supposed to be premium, as it was an upcharge, with tomatoes and sour cream added. You can see the paltry amount of ingredients in it. The taco shell is basically empty, by comparison.
The picture on the right, again, Taco Casa, that meat portion is basically the same from the front to the back, rounded off at the edges and less watery, but not dry. The price of the base tacos from both establishments, are about the same, too.
The second picture has a side by side comparison of soft tacos. Not sure why they charge an extra ten cents, but Taco Casa does. But compared to Taco Bell's soft tacos, it is worth it. Again, Taco Bell pictured on the left and Taco Casa on the right.
Taco Casa does Taco Tuesday's, so at least fifty cents cheaper. Some may do Frijole Friday's for bean items. They may also have a military discount, but depends on the particular store. Also, although Taco Bell has several hot sauces, Taco Casa only needs one. Hot enough, but not over bearing.
I hope you try Taco Casa at least once, if ever in the area and maybe even do a review of them. They are not generally open terribly early or terribly late though, not sure about the Florida location. Figured I would post this, due to Reviewbrah's recent video.

It should also be noted, this is not a meme. Just a program I use for side by side comparisons. Because Taco Bell skimps on it's ingredients, it was easier to do a top down view. If I tried to do that with Taco Casa, it would look like a cheese mushroom cloud, as they really pile the cheese, on top of the already generous portion of meat.
By visuals cues alone, which would you choose? Unless you are a hater of black olives, which you can always request not to have them put on, I am sure a lot of people would choose the one on the right, the Chilada from Taco Casa. Clearly at least, it is obviously covered in more cheese. The inside, although I can not confirm had more meat, bean and cheese, due to the sloppy nature of the dish, I can say was more uniformly dispersed, compared to Taco Bell.
And yet, I can honestly say, I preferred the Taco Bell version. The red sauce was better. And even though I feel it was unnecessarily swimming in the red sauce, in this instance, at least, more is better. It was also at least fifty cents to a dollar cheaper, then it's competitor. Not that that has any bearing on my final judgement. And although Taco Bell no longer has black olives, as they once had and used on the Enchiritos, it isn't a big loss. Taco Bell did well here. Still a bit too expensive, but good.
At the end of the day, the Chilada is good, making a worthy contender, even if a bit pricey, although they smother it in cheese. And may fill that craving, once Taco Bell removes their own version from the menu again and you do not know how to menu hack. It should be noted, this isn't a meme. Just a program I use, to have the picture comparisons side by side.
When I say change, I mean anything from fifty cents, to several dollars. Some times I pay with a $20 bill and they never seem to bring my change back. My meal could be anywhere from $5 to $15, depending what I am getting and if I happen to get there during happy hour, or for a sale.
It is increasingly awkward, having to keep asking them for something that obviously needs to be returned. And I can not be the only one. So is upper management instructing the carhops, not bring back change?
Why are my tacos fusing or phasing into the wrapper? I have only witnessed this happening to Taco Bell tacos and wrappers. If you keep pulling, the shell is left behind. I do not see any noticable cheese, just shell, maybe grease and that is it. Other tacos from other places does not do this.
I assume this is why they sometimes give you a disposable taco holder. I did not get such miraculous contraptions this time, even though I paid over $10 for the three most basic tacos and a drink. Not even Cinnamon Twists were part of the meal. I guess as a pleb, I only get the poor man's wrapper...
If hot wings, we can easily assume boneless, but what flavor and how spicy? And from each one of the places- such as Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Little Caesars, etc., what would it be? Maybe they could include a signed neck tie or a top pocket "silk" handkerchief 👔
Is There ANYTHING That Isn’t Getting Worse? - TheReportOfTheWeek

I have to agree with Review Brah. The food is getting worse. Fewer ingredients. Less amounts. "Lazy" and "unimaginative", "low effort" specials. "Egregiously" (my new favorite word 😅) expensive.
At Taco Bell, for instance, when you buy the most expensive box, they put a cheap food item or two in it, to off set it. McDonalds typically removes the drink, which is basically just sugar water and only a few cents, anyway.
It's almost becoming all too much to continue eating at said places. There are still some deals, but the good ones are few and far between.
Half dab, anyway... The "Brah Dab", if you will.
Rewind time. Bring it forward. Clone yourself or create a sibling. Bring a different version of yourself into your universe. Stay in suspended animation indefinitely, barring any accidents, complete power lose or degradation of the pattern buffer. Seems like the teleporters can do just about anything.
However, what about immortality? If you can rewind time once, such as with using a strand of Dr. Pulaski's hair follicle, that brought her from forced elderly age in a matter of hours, back to her youngish middle aged zippy self, in a matters of seconds, why not again?
And Picard, Keiko, Ro Laren and Guinan were all turned back into kids and then into adults again. If the teleporters can do the latter by accident and the former on purpose, with actual DNA or what is in the pattern buffers. What is stopping someone just rewinding time over and over again. Any foreseeable side effects or consequences?
Doubtful they carry personal razors. A tri-corder wouldn't do it. A phaser might, on the finest setting.
All things considered, it looked nice and tasted good too. Not almost $4.50 good, mind you. I think the ground beef was a bit lacking or they did not spread it out enough. Onions were a nice touch, however. The red sauce was like sprinkling liquid crack on food.
In fact, all I could keep thinking about, was this is the majestic Pintos N's Cheese in a tortilla. Which I had made a separate thread just on that wonderful, but overpriced food item, here.
https://www.reddit.com/r/tacobell/comments/1u5trx5/can_someone_explain_why_beans_pintos_n_cheese_in/
Would I ever buy the enchirito again? It's doubtful. If they were priced more reasonably, like $2.50 or $3 max, meaning we could reasonably buy two for $5 or $6. Yeah. But one at almost $4.50. Nahhh...
I once saw two people, I assume they were actual wrestlers, dress up as Vin (leaving that in there 😅) Diesel and Razor Ramon at a lower promotion event. Although they were tall, they did not nearly reach the height, nor the attitude or musculature, of the people they were portraying.
In fact, I have a feeling, they took two of their own wrestlers, (they looked like young rookies) put them in the closest getup for what the superstars would wear and sent them out. Opposed to hiring look alikes. Because even from the far camera pulls and bad quality over all, clearly it was not them.
They were not mocking the superstars, per say. Not sure if the real wrestlers were supposed to be there, but couldn't. And somehow this was the next best thing. They were basically there to high five the crowd, mostly kids. The kids, for the most part, seemed to love it. The adults kinda got into it, but I believe they saw it for what it was.
I am not even sure they wrestled, but I have a feeling they did. Although, I do not know the out come (although for the children's sake, I am sure they won somehow. Or if they even bothered to get permission to do this by the wrestlers or their promotion, had a clause for winning only.) or who they even wrestled.
It was not the WWF or the WCW, for sure. I think this was on a local access channel, in New Jersey, in the mid 90's. Any body know the exact term for it? Did they have to pay or get permission for their likeness, etc? Thank you.
Early 80's or that is when I saw it, maybe a rerun from the late 70's, but I doubt it. But it was poorer quality cameras, as I recall then some other programs. Probably on cable, but don't quote me. The good guy or at least not the heel, had a face some how supposedly disfigured. Burnt, smashed, torn, something. Either because of an accident outside the ring or because of the heel himself.
Regardless, he gets in the ring and I guess the heel supposedly didn't know he was going to be wearing a protective mask. I think he probably thought it was going to be a cloth mask or something. So he turns to sucker punch him and ends up "punching" the catcher's or umpire's mask and winces in pain. As I remember it, part way through the match, the heel kept trying to loosen and take off the mask to "hurt" him more.
I doubt it was WWF, as it was once called and I still do. I really don't think it was WCW either. More a southern wrestling match. More old school and less flashy. Any one know the match, the wrestlers or the fiction and truth behind the mask match? Thank you.
They say, that the original Shulton scent came from the very pores of this man. He doesn't normally sweat, in any situation. So he had to be sent as close to the sun as posible and then bottle what could be retrieved from off him. It may be why the Shulton scent is no longer on the market...
I could not make up my mind on the final product, so added all three. Which is your favorite?
I remember at some point, either in the very beginning or middle of his career, he'd do a smexy pose, usually running his hands over his body and saying "Gold Dust", in a very exaggerated and possibly provocative way, like "Goollldddd Duussstttt". It usually freaked the wrestler he was doing it to out, scripted or not.
I tried to find it on YouTube and not having any luck. Seen some promos, but nothing during a match or possibly right before it. I could have sworn it was almost a "signature move" or taunt, that happened every match. I was sure someone would have done a compilation of it. But I see nothing.
Would him saying "Gold Dust" be considered a "catch phrase" or something else, in wrestling terminology? I tried using "Gold Dust says gold dust", but that didn't help either. Thank you.
