[@janidang90]

I’d like Tim and/or David to be my counselor or youth pastor during my adolescent years. It might just be fun to witness. I swear I be learning things through this podcast! LOOOOOVVVVEEE IT! #fromAKwithlove

[@nettycharice6254]

David and Tim has the best chemistry together. And is always entertaining 2 listening 2.💯

[@yans21]

Special Education teacher here just want to say thank you to David for mentioning the importance of Early Intervention.

[@SaullyG]

Never been so excited to see a Notification for a podcast

[@KMO-iy8uz]

I love knowing that they don’t prepare topics to talk about on the podcast. That’s how you know their chemistry is real! Just two friends, hanging out, talking shit & getting paid for it!

[@vegahw]

Getting diagnosed with ADHD changed my life. Turns out a lot of my anxiety was caused from me dealing with ADHD symptoms. I know take medication and I’m doing better at work.

[@M3NTALiZ]

I always look forward to Monday's thanks to you guys! Y'all make me laugh so freaking much!!!

[@myshell414]

Love this, I've been away from Long Beach for 10 years and all these foods remind me of home. And I have ADHD so I can relate so well!

Thank you for all the food recs! I've lived in SoCal all my life and don't explore enough of the different restaurants around me. Putting these suggestions on a checklist ✅

[@annanoulolo916]

Coming to LA a few times this year. I'll definitely go try out these places. Thank you! ❤️

[@Lilsinginninja]

Mann these podcasts go hard tim & David

[@printhao2039]

I agree with David saying that being a funny person means being observant. Story time lol. When I first started work at my current job, I remember talking with two of my coworkers and one of them says, "My niece has no redeeming qualities... she's 19 and has no personality. She doesn't have friends and has never had a job, just stays at home and watches KZbin videos all day." I was the only one laughing when he said that, but they eventually both stopped talking to look at me to explain myself. I told him, "You really could have stopped after saying that your niece had no redeeming quality, but you proceeded to roast her. I had already noted that she must not have anything worth mentioning, but then you list all the worst traits you don't like about her!" Lol my coworkers started cracking up after I explained why I couldn't stop laughing

[@x_sela]

Some parents really wont admit something could be uniquely different with their child. When david started talking about the kid and noticing signs, I instantly thought of my brother. My mother was told when he was 2 yrs old my brother is on the spectrum, and she flipped, 120% indenial and he never got guidance and now hes an adult. For the most part you wont notice it but he cant tell right from wrong, he gets frustrated and mad almost instantly, never had a job and till this day my mom wont let him get help and she just tells him hes being stupid on purpose to make her mad.

[@Andres-pq8el]

Best part of mondays❤️‍🔥

[@xTwistedxSisterx]

I had Rakkan Ramen after seeing Joji in december in LA and was worth the wait, honestly one of my faves so far.

[@PhreestyleNYC]

What’s interesting is that my earliest memory was when I was a year old I had a memory of me crawling up a staircase and tapping on a door then crying for someone to open. 18 years later moving back to New York where I was born turns out the house we lived in connected to my aunts floor which was upstairs. That was when I realized that memory I had wasn’t fake or a dream getting mixed as if it was a memory

[@lil_snack]

I got a LA trip soon so this is amazing timing

[@josesalgado2061]

Lmao I can’t believe Tim mentioned what I told him about him wanting to try everyone’s chorizo 🤣🤣 shit still has me dead!

[@giovannimartinez6840]

Loved hearing them show love to the Mexican street vendors!!

[@DamnAwesome]

Awesome video! Hopefully one day I can visit these spots!

[@annale4730]

My dad is Viet and Buddhist. I got diagnosed with ADHD around 24. When I told my dad he said that in Buddhism they believe that if your kids have a disease or disability it's because you were a bad person in a previous life 😑🥲

[@CuongChanster]

Have to live in LA for years to try all the spots. Just try my best to eat at all the good spots and not go broke

[@toualee1430]

Fruit cart fruits is 🔥

[@LovelyStacyyy]

I love asking people what their first memory was!!! My experience was very similar to David’s where everything felt warm and familiar. I woke up at my cousin’s house and I didn’t remember anyone’s names but I had that feeling of familiarity. My uncle drove me and my grandma back to my house and my sister welcomed us in. I remember hugging her, feeling safe, knowing that I knew her but I couldn’t exactly say how. That’s really when I felt awake in my own body for the first time. I like to say that’s when my life really started haha. That was also right before kindergarten so very similar timing to Tim!

[@gblast1251]

TIM please try MARISCOS EL PERIHUETE in Paramount. order the shrimp tacos called tacos el UYU YUI. They are the best shrimp tacos.

@14:41 yess my boyfriend got diagnosed with adhd last year and when he told his mom she said that a doctor told her when he was in elementary but she didn't let them treat him even though it got him bullied and his grades were horrible :(

[@SimplySarah1990]

If you're ever driving from LA to Vegas get off the freeway in Victorville and go to Apollo. Best burgers ever! There's a bunch of off menu burgers too so make sure you ask to see them! Soooooo goooood

[@mzkarma6751]

YEEEEEES a shout out to all the adhd's 💜💜💜

[@carolinablanco3665]

You guys need to check out the Ave 26 Night market in Pico Rivera! Food is so fire and would make a great video!

[@Ashhz2cr]

The Modelo Mango Michaelada is even better than the mangocart!!! You need to try it

[@triosace3]

David So recently found out he was Special Ed 🤣🤣

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Good morning y’all

[@YeeZus001]

Living on the east coast now, I miss the west coast late night food scene. Ain't nothing better than a taco truck or bacon wrapped hot dog after the club.

[@HeyDavidLe]

Great episode. All these spots are so good. FYI - Nightshade and APL closed due to the pandemic. The fried chicken spot that the Nightshade owner (Mei Lin) opened is called Daybird. So good!

[@MrAyemeff]

You guys gotta check out Heritage Bbq in OC. Best BBQ in OC hands down

[@eliashash7644]

36:35 bruh I was mad confused when I went to quarters and the started cooking for us, I thought they were being nice at first

[@lazyalexh]

yall should goto these spots in a vlog or video series or something so I can live through u

[@erealce]

I watch you guys so much, I already had all of those food spots saved on Google Maps as Want to Go. 😜

[@iamrickywest]

David said "bring it on puto" 😂😂😂😂

[@zachwoolfork]

I used David's Butcher Box code and got some good meats (giggity). I added Bison to my box and never had it before. Have you guys ever cooked bison? How should I prep it? Should I make burgers? Appreciate y'all.

[@seniordollz2020]

Will u & David do an episode or multiple video on a cruise trip eating many food on there & also at different ports as well? That would be a great video to see. I recently visited Ensenada, Mx. I looked where most locals grab their lunch to eat & it so happened that they mostly hit to the food truck. And hands down their Seafood taco/tostada are amazing & it included fresh slices of avocado no extra cost like LA cali. No shades on LA but why charge extra for avocado, like forreal !?😆 The restaurant/food truck I went to called La Guerrerense Carreta... it at the downtown area right near the port when the cruise ship docks.

[@Bogalusa70427]

The Tams on Fig and Manchester is the one!! you can get a burger then if you brave walk or drive down the street to the blade and see some ladies of the night in action.

[@levi99]

This should just be called the No Genius podcast lol combine the No chaser and genius brain podcasts

Tim My wife is from ensenada and yes they are the best fish tacos out there

[@kidawesomeness123]

my first memory is from when i was a baby/toddler. my parents got a mickey mouse toy that was supposed to help me be active by crawling after the toy. i crawled backwards. my mom thought something was wrong with me. second memory is when my parents had put a baby guard on the door, like a little gate that went in between the doorway. I was able to put my leg over and slide on top of it to get out of my room, then i slid down the stairs. thats the day my mom figured out i knew how to walk and that i didnt need the gate anymore. she also said i learned to slip out of my crib too.

[@phengvue2561]

Tim goes in to check if he has ADHD, finds out he's special.. David thinks "damn... another best friend who's special.. is there something wrong with me??"

Quarters was too fast paced for me. It was tasty dont get me wrong but its hard to have that fun party vibe with a waiter standing over you and they just kept going through each one standing there when we went so it was like...wait let me eat this one first hold on...the soup was bomb though

[@Redxminder]

Last time I went to pho tasty their broth tasted like water, haven't been since but their quality been dropping since I was younger
