Like It Or Not: October 15, 2026

Welcome in tonight. It is like you're on a Thursday night, and I'm sitting between the three earth tones. It's called Max Mara. Just kidding. We're blending in. We're blending in with the chairs. It's a brand that's known for everything is like brown. Thank you. Yeah. I wouldn't know that. We coordinate because we're friends in real life. We chat. Yeah. And I'm just a coworker. Let's fire it up. You're the glue. You're the glue that holds us all together. There's one house party rule that apparently crosses generations. Don't go snooping. A Joybird survey of adults from Gen Z to baby boomers. You, like, in that second, Sonny's like, oh, I'm in trouble. A Joybird survey of adults from Gen Z to baby boomers found 61% say snooping through private rooms, closets, drawers, or cabinets is the number one house guest pet peeve. 62% say guests should keep their phones away during most of the visit. Other big no-nos, showing up sick, bad-mouthing the food or decor, or breaking something without offering to replace it. And if you want to be the perfect guest, ask about shoes. Also, let your host know about dietary restrictions. Offer to bring something and help clean up. Marina, why are we being so demanding of people we invite into our homes? Listen, I'm not going snooping in your house. However, if, like, there's a bathroom and I like your soap, I may, like, look and see, like, what other soaps you may have. But, yeah, I think in general, like, I try, like, the guest areas to keep them with nothing so that there's nothing to snoop. And I think that's what we should all take away from this is that people are naturally curious and they will be nosy even if they are nosy people. Right. Yeah. I'm always scared that I'm going to look at something and, you know, like I'm going to open and then it's going to like fall out or something. Yeah. Like something's going to go. Are you keeping your guest bathroom? Yeah. But I think the number one thing is knowing when to leave. That is my worst pet peeve like you're just lingering like you're just lingering and I'm like okay like i yawned like it's time to go i think two hours after two hours like try to leave this is this is how you if you have a party um no take take the take the take the white check because i think the hands are important here this is the sign this is the sign as a as a as a host that it's time to go home well you look at your guests go well and that should be that should be universal sign that uh that it's time to start going upstairs and go to bed with people yeah yeah i've actually left somebody at my house like that's weird left because they were still like i'm like you know she has a probably a big house you know where am i gonna go across the room um yeah i don't know i don't really have guests over that much actually so this really isn't a problem for me and i leave when angie leaves because she's always leaving when you go to angie so she's like i gotta go somewhere else i'm like okay i'm leaving too I am on a tight – yes, I always – there's always somewhere else to go. I mean, you're important, but, you know, there's always something after you. You're not the only one. So I leave people – I actually – I bought you food, right? And I was like, you can stay as long as you want. I'm out of here. I have another appointment. So this is the thing. And you can go through my drawers and stuff, and if you find, you know, my ibuprofen or whatever I've been looking for this week, let me know. Okay? Because I don't even know what's in half the stuff. So, yeah. Again, I just see Sunny as the curious type. I see, like, Sunny. Oh, she would go snooping. Exactly. I know, but I'm always so scared. I'm like, oh, my God, did I leave it in a place where they left it? People got cameras all in their house now. And that's what I'm scared of. I know someone who has six cameras on their main floor. In their bathroom? Yeah, six in their main floor. In their bathroom. Well, I don't know if there's one in the bathroom, but there's two in the baby room. Okay, well, see, that makes sense. It's not me. Not Marina. But, like, I watch a cat for my friend, and I know she has cameras in the house. So when I walk in the kitchen, like, I know she's watching me. So usually I'll text her like, hey, I'm going to take some of your candy or like some of the snacks. So you're raiding the pantry? Absolutely. Because it's just sitting there. She's not there. I need payment for taking care of the cat. Okay. We're going to let you all. Hide your Keurig cup. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. You'll let you debate that at home. Let's move on to a newsroom debate. Would you rather giving up? This is so weird. Would you rather give up kissing or sauces forever? This was the kind of scintillating discussion you'll see when you tune in for the take it two I mean think about it think about all the sauces i know tomato sauce dressing considered a sauce ranch ketchup mustard condiments mayo you name it or kissing no i need my kisses you need your kisses yeah you're keeping kissing okay i knew was wondering what i was gonna say i'm keeping kisses i can eat food dry there's nothing better than a passionate kiss with someone you're in love with it is truly the most beautiful thing on this planet earth just imagine tony p with marinara sauce you know imagine an italian kid giving up marinara but sonny uh what would you give up kissing your sauces yeah where did this come up marina i think it was jack our executive producer because a chick-fil-a just announced her new hot sauce so somehow they wanted to see like what hot sauce can compete with and kissing is what they came up i will say i did see someone on social media saying that they just don't enjoy kissing their partner they're just like it's not a man it was a woman oh and i thought it was just so weird because my take was on the ticket too that most men would give up kissing they prefer the sauce no way oh they prefer the sauce well probably because they don't think with their head i don't know like to me i'm just thinking longevity wise like i just feel like when i'm 80 i'm gonna still want my chicken nuggets with honey mustard yeah i don't care what well andy thinks like a man most time so and as long as you can still kiss me where i need to be kissed i'm fine so yeah i'm taking the sauces where do you need to be kissed angie long well you know she got four kids you're both mothers yeah i was gonna say that's how they got there right you know look i was i was going through my my refrigerator the other day just kind of rearranging things and i have a lot of sauces and for me i say you know i have none all day every day this is what i said men all day i have none yeah i have hot sauce that's it but that in her bag what's that in my bag oh in your what's your what are your sauces jim like what i mean i have i think i have five different kinds of mustards i have honey mustard spicy honey mustard great yellow dijon i think i have a honey dijon wow yeah is that your favorite type of i i've come to realize i do enjoy mustard i enjoy a good mustard wow yeah you are a tart man out of all the sauces mustards at the bottom Okay, well, speak for yourself. I wasn't asking for your permission. Did you have ranch? I do have ranch. I do have ranch, yeah. I actually bathe in mustard. I like to prefer, I like to make my own ranch dressing. Have you had blackened ranch from Popeye's? Yes, I have. It's a revelation. Is it good? Can you bring me one? Girl, give me one. I'm going to get you a whole bucket. I've never seen ranch dressing before. I mean, she was groping me. Because I know she's so passionate about ranch, but blackened ranch from Popeye's will change your life. What is your birthday? I'm getting you a bucket. Don't you pour that? I like to use a pepper shaker inside my ranch. You do? And you do a whole layer of pepper on top, and then you dip your front. Yes. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You have to go. Indigestion. An Australian talk show brought up a story of a mom at a birthday party who came to a rude awakening of food. Apparently, when the invitation said lunch included, she assumed that meant adults, too. It did not. That detail was not a surprise to one of the hosts, who understood it as just having snacks for the kids. Another said she would think it was a sit-down for parents. A third explained in her experience, you plan enough food for the children, both parents and even extra siblings, with plenty left over. So, Angie, who gets fed at a kid's birthday party? We over-order. People go home with whole pizzas, you know, at our parties. This is the thing. If you invite them and you say, you give them the option, parents can stay, and then they RSVP for one kid, one adult, two kids, whatever, two adults, then you have to be able to accommodate that. they're sitting there for a couple hours too and plus you know eating it gives them something to do so you always if that is an option i think hands down it goes without saying you provide enough food, snacks, a drink, it doesn't even need to be alcoholic, it could just be water and a couple liters of you know Sprite and then but it's a different food from what you're serving to the kids, right? Yeah, like everyone can just eat the kids, what's the problem? Yeah, like I'm assuming Like, I'm going to have a slice of pizza. Were they eating finger sandwiches? I mean, was this some sort of fancy? No. I mean, but I agree with Angie. Like, most kids at birthday parties don't even eat. Like, they'll take a couple bites of the cake because they like the sweet stuff, but they're not sitting down to eat. And, like, then you have the parents who are just sitting there twiddling their thumbs. Like, half of them don't want to engage with the other parents. Like, you must provide food. Yeah. They don't even eat the cake half the time. For Dora's sixth birthday, I made a styrofoam It was a styrofoam cake. It's like a wedding cake. Yeah, it looked like a cake, and it just had the fondant, whatever, around it. Nobody complained. I mean, we were at Kenneth's baby's birthday, and we were chowing down. Well, I mean, to be fair, that was more of an adult party than a child party. It was an excuse for Kenneth to have a party. Yeah, it was Kenneth's party and it was right Yeah, the food was great. Wait until the kid gets older. There's going to be less of the adults. I'm not coming. Deja, what do you think? When's the last kid's birthday party you went to? So I have, like, godkids, so I'll go there. But I don't have kids of my own, so I don't be at just, like, random people. so I will text my friends like or my cousins or whoever I'm like there's food right but I feel like I just assume like if you have people around over you feed them whether it's pizza or whatever it is like you said like I don't care what it is but don't have me sitting around hungry now if I'm sitting hungry now everyone's leaving I'm leaving I'm not staying no more I'm hungry if you invite an adult without a child to a kid's birthday party and you don't have food that's criminal that is criminal like why else are you inviting me over they're gonna be they don't want to be there no my child or not like you're asking for a gift and then you're not feeding them and they're not even like having a kid enjoy for the party we're not being friends anymore like we're done is deja still there can i can i ask you one more thing or she gone okay deja would you give up kissing or sauce oh kissing i don't even really need sauce i feel like if your food needs a sauce yeah not that good wendy's spicy chicken nuggets you don't need sauces you don't need sauces how How many fast food chains are you going to plug in this block? I'm working my endorsement. I'm going to talk about Long John Silver's tartar sauce. Tartar's so good. Yeah, yeah. With fried clams. Are you eating tartar? Fried clams. Long John Silver's. I've never been there. I don't think I've ever had tartar sauce. You're not cultured. That's why. No, really? So do I. Long John Silver's. live instant poll questions. He's kissing. Feeding adults at a kid's party. 72% of you like it. 28% of you don't. Go to fox5dz.com slash lion or scan the QR code. We're back after this. Like it or not. On a Thursday night. I don't think I've been to KFC, y'all. What? Welcome back, D.C. voters. We'll decide in November whether or not to ban the controversial dish foie gras. In addition, to put the question on the ballot, received enough signatures. Foie gras is the liver of a duck or goose fattened up with force feeding before being killed. If the ban's approved, stores and restaurants would face up to $5,000 in fines. Repeat offenders could have their licenses suspended. So, Sunny, like it or not? Well, I mean, we shouldn't really intentionally be trying to do this in the first place because you're just trying to make their liver fat for a specific reason, right? To eat it, yeah. To fatten up and eat it. What do you think they do to the chickens? Yeah, it's worse what they do to the chickens. They do this to everything. I know. The chickens, they don't even have time for their lungs to grow. I realize that because when I came here, because I know how to kill a chicken, you know, like in Bosnia, and then I was like, our chickens look very different. I'm glad you said that. Let's bring in the chicken. No. They're skinny and scrawny and not as meaty. And they're like, the fat is super yellow because all they're literally eating is the grass outside. And then here, the chickens look so different. So, I get it. Like, everything is, you know, pumped. Modified, but. Well, I already voted because I sent in my absentee ballot. I love foie gras. Lick. Lick. Lick. Lick. Back to the sauces. Back to the foie gras. Actually, foie gras is kind of disgusting. I just. I think if you're going to take this stance on foie gras, which is A, like, what is the percentage of foie gras? that is sold in DC, like half a percentage of the foie gras. I don't even know. It's something so nominal. Let's talk about the chickens and the slaughtering and like the way that we're pumping, like this is something that everybody eats and that, that really affects change. This is performative BS. I hate it. Yeah, it really is. And, um, like you said, and honestly they do have things there's like plant-based, you know, goose liver and stuff and who wants that. And And also, there are humane ways of, or more humane ways of fattening up a little goose or a little duck or whatever. And so, I don't know. I'm not against that and maybe just outruling altogether, like don't do certain things. But at the end of the day, it's like when our chicken, you know, because I think about the chickens. Like they, all of them, they all got arthritis. like they have mobility issues because they are crammed in these things to the point where they are so crowded and then fed so much that their lungs their their heart everything that is inhumane americans we eat a lot of chicken like if you want to talk about something that's really gonna we're talking about let's go out and fix the chicken there's nothing we can do about that right now i mean it's sort of like it's like veal you know you you fatten up the little baby calves in their little boxes and babies but the question is is that does that cross the line for people so but again that's why it's on the ballot uh dc's not the only place that's considering these sort of bans they have been passed elsewhere across the country well let's move on before checking out a new restaurant many people turn to social media for reviews but now one content creator has gained a large following by calling out influencers he says are abusing that power from trashing small restaurants for clicks to complaining when they don't get a free meal and he's doing it with receipts some followers say he's protecting small businesses that deserve a chance to shine but others accuse him of creating rage bait and getting facts wrong marina like it or not everything on social media is fake y'all can we just start by that let's say if you're an influencer you're peddling something i don't know why we're just specifically the people who are reviewing restaurants or food influencers this is across the board in fashion everything that you see on social media is meant to get you to click on something to buy it or to deny it i like that buy or deny it is it is in fact the modern way of tv commercials and peddling something and i think it is being the veneer is that it's real and it's genuine but it's not i feel like that's what Susie Orman used to do something like that on her show Buy or Deny i miss her she used to like she's just kind of scare me she's living her best life now yeah she gave all those tips yeah Susie Susie Orman Dave Ramsey oh okay Susie Orman's up here Susie Susie Orman's s tier that's where they got the essence here is she the one from Shark Tank no that's Barbara Corcoran oh okay yeah yeah ladies on cable right you're gonna be i don't know anybody's name i know yeah uh okay so this i love how this guy is like i am like the Chris Hansen of you know food influencers okay like come on this guy's not out here saving the earth he's not out here you know exposing pedophiles or curing world hunger i really think when you come down to it when your your job or in this case i don't know if he's being an influencer and selling popcorn is just his only job is based on other people's bad moments. Huh? Yeah. What? I know where she's going. But yeah, but when you, that's bad karma. Like, I just think that when you base it on other people's bad moments, okay, what's the inside joke? There is none. We're talking about influencers and you're going from Chris Hansen to pedophiles and then talk about small business restaurants. I'm just saying, this guy is acting like he's going out there exposing people. Gotcha. Oh, yeah. Did you, you know, and I don't think Robert Pattinson is going to be doing this movie. Hey, unfortunately, guys, we have to move on. My back hurts in this chair. What's going on? You're blending. You're fitting in. You've just become the entire chair. Is it a date or just free dinner? A recent survey found 30% of U.S. adults have accepted a date primarily for the free food and drinks. Oh, she's totally in it for the free food. She's pretending she's interested. She couldn't care less what that guy has to say. She's like, I know that look. It's known as a foodie call. Gen Z and younger millennials reported doing it the most, but at least one in four people in every generation say they've done it. Experts say the motivations can vary. Some people are looking for a free meal. Others might be on the fence about romantic chemistry. What the hell is that? I don't know what's going on there. Some might be on the fence about romantic chemistry but still want to enjoy the restaurant or experience. Sunny, do we even have to ask? Yeah. Before, I've said this before. No, you don't say. It was back when I was really broke, and I was like it's just a free meal now I that was very long time ago my thing now is you guys know how much I enjoy food I actually really enjoy food alone because like it's a it's a moment for me to like really take it in I would never go out with someone just to get a free meal now I would just order it in eat it by myself never but back in the day yeah why not it was like when you were younger you know I think I'd rather and I like food too I think I would rather starve than have to sit through a dinner with some adult that i just so you could eat like a fancy meal like no yeah i'll eat at home but people do this and i i think for me it's like the social battery to like extend and pretend and be there and just getting dressed up no like do you understand what it's like to eat chicken wings at home by yourself when nobody's watching you i mean like that is it i want you to know last night we spent more time and we should talk about how the way you eat chicken wings y'all were talking about me oh yeah yeah thanks for watching uh what do you think well if i'm not on i'm not i'm not watching well how selfish of you uh this is the thing right because you are i watch all of the programming here at fox five uh starting from you know what's the morning show good good morning good morning fox good day dc wrong station good morning yeah yeah i hear they're working for you stuff is so gimmicky and crappy just give me the news people okay back to what's the question foodie calls over booty calls listen uh i like this listen linda i find that sunny has like you know she has booty calls every night i mean getting intimate with her food i love that yeah yeah for sure you and the food like to me that does it's an intimate experience yeah i order why don't we go out to eat more huh okay i'm snacking for centuries pringles is taking fan loyalty to a whole new level we'll explain coming up next did she say anything i don't think so let's talk about Pringles and what they're doing for Halloween. potato chip fans can now enter for a chance to win a custom urn shaped like the iconic Pringles chip can, plus a 200-year supply of chips. the Once You Drop campaign, get it once you pop, now it's once you drop, is inspired by the inventor of the Pringles can, whose ashes were buried in one of the containers after his death. Angie, putting your remains in a Pringles can for eternity, like it or not. Yeah. I mean, that was a pretty ornate can. looked like a collector's item. super rare. I think, actually, I like it. I like it when brands do something so weird that it actually works. I mean, this is brilliant. Right before Halloween, they're turning your funeral and your death into a sweepstakes. let's go. okay, great. that was a great point you made. well, what do you have to say? we have a conversation. marina, like it or not? i think for me, one of the things of halloween that i don't like is like the morbid aspect like i'm into halloween i like it but i i can't do with the skeletons the fake cemeteries the pet cemeteries and this too like if i was the owner of Pringles and i you know skip Pringle but then yes i would also want to be buried in a Pringles can because it made me a lot of money but for the rest of us like why are we thinking about our demise and ashes in like a potato chip can but Sonny you get 200 years of Pringles after but your ancestors, your, your, your, not predecessors, your heirs will get free potato chips. Yeah. Put me in a Popeye's box and shoot me down a river. I don't know. I'm down for it. Let's see what happens once I leave. Look, unless I'm coming back to haunt y'all, like, then why do you care about getting in a prison? It doesn't matter, but I'm trying to get somebody to get something out of it. You know, like somebody has to benefit from me not being here. And if that means somebody is going to get some free stuff, a little goodie bag after I'm gone they're getting some merch like it's vivid when we come back our poll question feeding kids feeding adults at kids birthday parties 79 of you like it 21 of you don't 100 of you might be thoroughly confused after the show back after the break bottle we can put you in a ranch
