Bean Burritos & Big Feelings: Season Finale, Chad’s Rankings & Reality TV Shenanigans

Bean Burritos & Big Feelings: Season Finale, Chad’s Rankings & Reality TV Shenanigans

In the Season 1 finale of The Takeout Podcast, we’re wrapping up our Colorado Springs takeout era the only way we know how — with bean and cheese burritos from Monica’s Taco Shop, officially crowned the worst of the worst on Chad’s takeout list. This episode is part recap, part chaos, and part emotional support group as we go through all of our final restaurant ratings and compare them to Chad’s original rankings — including the hits, misses, bubble guts, and everything in between. Along the way, we also spiral into conversations about Love on the Spectrum, Temptation Island, the word of the day (“cob webbing”), and whatever else our brains decide to latch onto. But mostly, this episode is about friendship. We reflect on what this season meant to us, how grateful we are for everyone who listened, and how wild it feels that a podcast built around takeout, girlhood, and ChatGPT somehow turned into something so special. We’re taking a short break before Season 2, but this is not goodbye. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to find out where The Takeout Podcast is headed next… because next season, we’re taking the show to a brand-new city. As always, our unofficial third co-host “Chad” (aka ChatGPT) helped guide the chaos. Girls rule. 💋 Dinner comes with drama. 🌯

Takeout & Top Picks: Chad’s #1, This or That & Taco Bell Smash or Pass

In this episode of The Takeout Podcast, we’re trying #1 on Chad’s “best takeout in Colorado Springs” list — Gaia Masala & Burger. We’re joined by Gerardo, owner of Huevones Food Truck and self-proclaimed foodie, who helps us put the top spot to the test while sharing his take on the local food scene. Instead of a full recap, we keep things fun with a round of “This or That”, putting local restaurants head-to-head and forcing some tough decisions on which spots come out on top — and why. We also bring the chaos with a Taco Bell Smash or Pass, which leads to some very strong (and questionable) opinions. This episode is all about hot takes, food debates, and unfiltered reactions, with a mix of real foodie insight and unserious fun. As always, we’re recording in Colorado Springs, trying local takeout, and letting our unofficial third co-host “Chad” (aka ChatGPT) run the show. It’s part social experiment, part entertainment, and very millennial-core — built on friendship, girlhood, and chaotic dinner conversations. Full season rankings are coming next… Dinner comes with drama. 🍛

Bar Food & Bot Chaos: Age of Attraction, Hanson & Chad Roasts Robert

In this episode of The Takeout Podcast, we’re taking on #2 on Chad’s “worst restaurants in Colorado Springs” list — ViewHouse. For the taste test, Dani’s husband Robert joins us to give his honest take on the food… and unknowingly signs up to be roasted by Chad (aka ChatGPT). This week’s conversation covers everything from age of attraction debates to a nostalgic deep dive into Hanson, with plenty of questionable opinions and chaotic takes along the way. Between bites and banter, we fully lean into the ChatGPT chaos — including letting Chad go off on Robert, which may or may not have been a mistake.

TV Dinners & Trends: Girl Dinner, Boy Dinner & Rat Girl Chaos

In this episode of The Takeout Podcast, we’re trying something a little different — take-home TV dinners from Lazy Dog in Colorado Springs. This one quickly turns into a full nostalgia trip as we talk about classic 90s TV dinners, childhood memories, and how food trends have evolved into what we now call girl dinner, boy dinner, and even rat girl dinner. Somewhere between bites, we break down what these trends actually say about us, our habits, and the way we eat now — versus how we grew up. As always, the conversation goes off the rails in the best way, with plenty of random tangents and chaotic storytelling along the way.

Fast Food & Fancy: Nostalgia, Reality TV Drama & a Caviar Upgrade

In this episode of The Takeout Podcast, we’re tackling #3 on Chad’s “worst takeout” list — McDonald’s. Yes… that McDonald’s. We lean all the way into the nostalgia while revisiting childhood favorites, but in true Takeout Podcast fashion, we also decide to bougie up our order with caviar — because why not? Between bites, we get into more Taylor Frankie Paul updates, break down the latest Bachelorette drama, and share our thoughts on how reality TV somehow always finds a way back into our lives. It’s comfort food meets chaos, with a slightly questionable fine-dining twist.
