00:00If I see one more package of Oodles and Noodles fixing somebody's car, they sink, or they mama's
00:06good china, I feel triggered from my childhood. We call them Oodles and Noodles. Y'all call them
00:10Oodles and Noodles. Do they skip some steps? Because I feel like it went from noodles to
00:15cement in like three seconds. And also, why is your sink this broken? An entire chunk has come
00:22off the sink. You know how much trouble I would be in if this was my sink at my mama's house,
00:27and then using her good noodles to fix it. I just feel like, what have we put into our
00:31bodies? Is my digestive system okay? I'm concerned. I'm about to WebMD this. Am I okay? On the
00:36insides? And you got the nerve to season it out of all the times to use seasoning. Now? Now's
00:42the time? They using the seasoning and the little peas and carrots. We used to doctor our Oodles
00:47and Noodles. You remember that? I would put chicken or whatever available meats my mama
00:51had in the kitchen. I would put in like some other vegetables. I would make it a whole soup.
00:56This is taking me back. I don't think I want to relive this level of poverty. But I mean,
01:00if Noodles are out here fixing things, could they like fix my life? My finances? At least
01:05my love life? Can Noodles find me a man and then hold the relationship together? I just don't trust
01:11it. Like, when did it turn brown? I need to know who was first. Like, you know what? I done broke my
01:15mama's sink. You know what I need? Noodles. And what is the solution? What's in the little bottles
01:20and the solution bottles? What are they putting in there? Something scientifical. This just feels unsafe and
01:25unsanitary and ungodly. And also, why are there so many broken things in your house? I mean,
01:30what's next? Hot Cheetos are going to fix my broken heart. I don't think there's nothing here for me
01:34to over-explain except the fact that noodles are now a household item and not food. Although,
01:40I don't think they were ever food. So, if you're still out here buying ramen noodles and you're trying
01:44to eat them, don't. Ooh, even the gentrified ones that cost $20 a bowl. You know what I'm talking
01:51about. Those I'm still going to eat. Until the next broken sink that needs to be fixed with Oodles
01:56and Noodles, I'm Danielle Young and this is The Overexplainer Reacts.
