Series of origin: Disc Only Podcast
Explain the joke: During episode 2 of the Disc Only Podcast, Jerod and Stephen began exchanging stories about incidents at breakfast restaurants: Jerod going to a Waffle House and “almost getting stabbed” because the manager pulled out a knife to kick out some unruly customers, and Stephen knowing about someone ACTUALLY getting stabbed at a Denny’s.
In episode 5, after a callback to the breakfast stabbings conversation, Stephen lamented how long it’s been since he’s been to a restaurant, saying that he’d risk being stabbed just to go to one. After Jon quickly disagreed, Stephen began constructing scenarios in which someone may agree to get stabbed for food, to see how Jon would react to them.
Jon stated that his favorite type of place to go out to eat was a steakhouse, so Stephen set his hypothetical scenario at a ridiculously fancy 5-star steakhouse, with scientists on-hand to ensure everything is safe, and the food is free. But the catch is, in order to eat there, you’d have to get stabbed. Jon maintained that even a free 5-star steak from a steakhouse wasn’t worth being stabbed, though Stephen, Tom, and Jerod continued to discuss the hypothetical steakhouse, soon named Outback Stabhouse, in which you can get stabbed instead of paying.
