What he said

“Where's the fucking pizza? There's a fucking papa John's, like, literally right here.”
“That's a pretty. That's a good taste in goon right there. Honestly, that was my one way ticket to Goon Town, USA, baby.”
“This is how they're supposed to be made. That's the first stuffed shrimp I've had that has actually good.”
“I finally had one of these seafood biscuit things that didn't taste like absolute shit or covered in mayonnaise.”
“It's actually really good. It's good Mac and cheese. I mean, this was. This tastes like it was made by someone's meemaw.”
