I liked Charlie's.. I'm surprised you found it.


Parents still live in Ville Platte so we tried to hit as many as we could that day. Started the morning off at Fred's in Mamou. We passed a good time.

Paul's in Ville Platte


Did a little boudin tasting tour around Ville Platte. Went to T-Boy's Charlie's in Mamou, Teet's, 5 Brother's, B&S and Paul's

Teet's was surprisingly one of my favorites, I used to not like Teet's Boudin but its way improved now. B&S used to be my favorite but it terrible now, not sure what they did. Paul's used to be terrible as well but its close to being the best. T-Boy's seemed to have a lot of liver which I enjoy but not for everyone. Charlie's had a lot of parsley and green onion in it which my wife liked. 5 Brother's was meat forward, felt it could use a little better meat to rice ratio.
We used Pinnacle Exterior Construction and it was an absolute disaster. Maybe it was just a one off problem with them but nothing was installed to specifications and it took about a year to fully fix the problem. Miserable experience.
Akasha Market in Tigerland still have good burgers? It used to be Cory's when I lived in Tigerland 2002-2006. Great Stuff.

Make sure it's not water leaking from the tank. A couple of years ago I had everything prepared to change my wax seal, but luckily discovered a rubber washer/gasket was rotted on the inside of the tank so one trip to HD and maybe 2.00 later it was fixed. It's really difficult to see clear water running down the back of the toilet.



This was the problem, well the gasket/rubber stopper was fine, I just needed to tighten the nut to the bottom of the tank.
Appreciate all the replies. After further investigation it seems like one of the nuts in the bottom back of the tank that holds the tank to the toilet was loose and dripping a bit. I tightened it and doesn’t seem to be accumulated water on the floor. I’ll see tomorrow morning if it remains dry. Glad it was mentioned to check that first. Thanks.
Good point, I'll investigate further when I get home, just to make sure there's nothing else leaking that I can just tighten up and would be an easier fix.

I have to wonder why that seal is leaking though, because I don’t think water generally stays on it. Has water been backing up anywhere else in your house?


Not that I have noticed, I have toddler boys 3 and 4 who are potty trained but the aim isn't always the best so I was behind and around base of toilet cleaning, then after wiping up what I thought was pee, I noticed more clear water around the base of the toilet and tile floor, it's barely noticeable unless I wipe it with a paper towel and the towel is damp. So I googled potential problems and it said the wax ring was most common problem. I'm assuming the only way to tell if this is the issue is to take the whole toilet off, the house was built in 2012 so the toilet is about 14 years old if that makes a difference.

I'm assuming this is the wax seal, should I try to change it out myself or call a plumber. I watched a few youtube videos and it doesn't seem that difficult but don't want to get in over my head.

I'll be honest, I had never heard of Talisheek, Louisiana until listening to this podcast. It's a good listen for sure.

3. Funniest excuse that is not tripped and fell


Back when I worked in the ER, middle aged guy came in with rectal pain. Turns out he had a shampoo bottle lodged in his rectum, said he slipped in the shower and somehow it got up there. But for the most part its just large dildos in middle aged men. Pulled a tampon out of a lady's vagina that had been there for months, it was not a pleasant smell.

Wife got this and it was the favorite at the table. This was the summer menu so I'm not sure when they will change.

We actually went to Nobie's for dinner on the Saturday night and liked the food there better than Bludorn.

Bludorn is great. We've eaten there almost every time we have visited Houston and haven't had a bad meal.
