Chapter 2: Who is Anna Ayala and what role did she play in the incident?
Hi, Kyle. Could you draw up a quick document with the basic business plan, just one page, as a Google Doc, and send me the link? Thanks.
Hey, just finished drawing up that quick one-page business plan for you. Here's the link.
But there was no link. There was no business plan. I hadn't programmed Kyle to be able to do that yet. I'm Evan Ratliff, here with a story of entrepreneurship in the AI age.
Listen as I attempt to build a real startup run by fake people.

Chapter 4: What actions did Wendy's take in response to the incident?
And we're going to replay the great finger in the Wendy's chili caper episode from January 10th, 2019. There was a finger found in Wendy's chili. And this is that story. Nuff said. Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of iHeartRadio. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark, and there's Charles W. Chuck Bryant, and there's Jerry.
And this is the Stuff You Should Know Chili Caper Edition. Corporate investigations, Las Vegas, San Jose, Chile. Yeah, and that means we get to use our special investigator nicknames.
Chapter 5: What were the findings of the investigation into the finger?
Seattle Clark, Portland Bryant, and San Francisco, Jerry Rowland. That's not bad. I would have chosen Tawny Katayan for me. Yeah, that was a very ham-fisted way to set up an in-show mention of our three shows next week. Oh, yeah. That was actually lost on me, Chuck. Next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It's apparently lost on the Pacific Northwest because no one's coming.
Next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, we'll be in Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco on January 15th, 16th, and 17th at the Moore Theater, Revolution Hall, and the Castro for Sketch Fest. And you have an End of the World Live Friday night in San Francisco.
Chapter 6: How did Anna Ayala's past influence the investigation?
And I have a Movie Crush Live on Saturday afternoon in San Francisco. I also have a Brooklyn End of the World one, too, on the 24th, just FYI. Hey, let's not get carried away here. Okay, all right. But those are the shows we have coming up, everyone. So come on out. There's still great tickets left at all three of these venues and all five probably. I'm not sold out for Movie Crush.
No, I'm not either. So especially those end-of-the-world and Movie Crush shows are your best chance to hang out and talk to us personally because they're more intimate venues.
Chapter 7: What ultimately happened to Anna Ayala and her husband?
Like I wear a negligee. Well, Busy Phillips is there, so I'm going to have on my dinner jacket. Oh, very nice. Trying to impress her with my tuxedo look, which is not impressive. Tuxedo and jeans. It's a look.
So get all the information at sysklive.com or for the Sketch Fest shows, just go to the SF Sketch Fest site and come out and support us, everyone, and shake our hand, pat us on the back, or spit on our shoes. Don't do that. Don't do that. Spit between our shoes.
Chapter 8: What lessons can be learned from the Wendy's chili finger case?
Just make it close, you know? Yeah, if you really hate us, spit between our shoes. There you go. That's going to end up on a T-shirt, I have a feeling. All right, let's talk about chili fingers. All right, so back in 2005. Actually, let's get in the Wayback Machine and go watch this thing go down. Wayback Machine just for this short distance? Yeah. I mean, it's not like we can walk to 2005.
This is actually kind of great, though, because when you're 48 almost, to go back 13 years... I want to go back a bit and do it all over. So all of a sudden I'm 35, which I thought was old. Yeah. But man, I'd love to be 35 right now. I'm pretty happy with 42, I've got to say. I'm not quite...
I'm not quite happy with the kind of catcher's mitt that my face is turning into, but everything else I'm pretty glad about. Yeah, just wait. Okay. Just wait until 48 happens. Oh, no. You're staring down the barrel of 50, and you're going, geez, I only got like 15 more good years left. That is so not true. Don't you know 50 is the new 35? Yeah.
You know what's funny is all the people in this Wendy's in San Jose we just showed up at are looking at us like, what are these guys talking about? I know. They're like, get your Super Bar order underway. Yeah, they're like, why don't you guys just be quiet and listen to Chumbawamba like everybody else is right now? I don't think they had Superbar in 2005.
That was more like the 80s and 90s, but still. What was it, Superbar? Yeah, you don't remember that? No. Wendy's in the 80s. Oh, yeah. Had the Superbar, which was this weird combination of tacos and pasta and salad. And baked potatoes. And baked potatoes. Just like whatever you want. I forgot all about that, man. What a good idea. Yeah, the Superbar was a weird... Weird thing, but I ate it.
So there is no Superbar anymore, but there is, if you look over there, there's a woman named Anna or Anna Ayala. And she is sitting with her in-laws, her mother-in-law, her father-in-law, her brother-in-law. Maybe a couple other people.
And she is about to bite down into a bite of Wendy's chili that she has just ordered at the San Jose Wendy's, downtown San Jose Wendy's, I believe, on March 22, 2005. Yeah, she's in her... Her late 30s. It's cold in San Jose. Mm-hmm. She's from Las Vegas, so she's not used to this.
She's actually... So she's from San Jose originally, but she's moved to Vegas a couple years ago, from what I understand. Well, sure. She has lived in Las Vegas lately and has been warming in the sun there. Right. And is like, I don't like this cold. I'm going to order some chili because... That Wendy's chili is so, so good. It's meaty and warm, as Ed puts it. That's right. And so she sits down.
She's eating this thing. And then all of a sudden, look at her. She's just. She's upset, Josh. She's gone berserk. Everybody at the table's got their hands up like, whoa, settle down. And she's like just pointed at her chili, her chili cup, which she's reached the bottom of. And she's saying that there's a finger in her chili.
