boycott Olive Garden movement. Yeah, it's a movement. It's like
the new Occupy Wall Street. Where were you during the
boycott Olive Garden movement? But first, Dan, we like to

(03:42):
ask our guests, what is something from your search history
that's revealing about who you are? Well, guys, um, I
heard that Michael Salomanov, who's this wonderful chef, had this
new recipe for uh smoked beef ribs, and I looked
that up and it's a Yemenite recipe and it had

(04:03):
a lot of tumeric, a lot of human a lot
of black pepper. I need gloves to season that, probably need, Yeah, exactly.
We'll stain your skin. Tumeric will stain your skin. Guys.
It's true. The struggle is real. No one talks about that.
All the talk about is the anti inflammation properties. Great.
They don't tell you look like a jaundiced card dealer.

(04:23):
It's like yellow orange, right, yeah, yeah, it's like and
it's not just any yellow. It's like an immigrant to yellow.
You know what I mean. It's like that. You're getting
that at Ralph's. Yeah yeah, um, and you stopped at
the border. That's what I looked up. I was looking
up that recipe. Are you do? You cook a lot?
I cook a lot. I'm gonna smoke fucking ribs this week,
So what kind of what kind of smoke are you got?

(04:45):
I have a trigger grill. I got a trigger, man, Actually,
I got a trigger. This was kind of a crazy story.
I I do a lot of the cooking. I do
a lot of cooking on my Instagram stories. I have
a cooking podcast. Um but green X and Dan, we'll
talk about that. Later. But basically, I was doing a
lot of cooking videos and I wanted to get a smoker,

(05:06):
and I reached out to Trigger. I was like, Yo,
give me a discount. I want to get this eight
smoker and I'll post about it. And they're like, Yo,
we saw your videos, we like them. We're sending you
a free smoker. They sent me a fucking two thousand
dollars fucker Timberline eight fifty. I can, I can. I
can turn it on from my fucking phone. Like literally,

(05:27):
I walk into my house, I clap and it'll start smoking.
I gotta get I'm actually in the market for smoker.
I will talk to you. I will. I will use
the remote function. You know what. I used it last
week actually because I had some ship going on and
me and my girl went for a hike and I
was in the fucking mountains. Yeah, smoke my ribs from

(05:49):
the mountain. We went from for a hike on Runyon
turn off the smoker. Smoked my Yemin night ribs. Yeah.
I use a lot of Cajun microwave right now, what
is just like the problematic term is a china box. Wait,
does Cajun microwave better? I don't know it's on the
on the fucking thing. It says like china box in

(06:10):
the most you already know what font is. It's like
fucking might as well be like like that. But it's
basically just you know, it's like a way you can
you put all of your charcoal on top of like
sheet metal and then everything is sort of inside the box,
so you can. I've like, I'll cook like a suckling
pig or something in there, because it's you're cooking suckling pigs. Yeah, yeah, there, yeah, anywhere.

(06:36):
There's a lot of stores. Yeah, there's pet stores, petting zoos.
I feel like, yeah, making a they're making a move
that they're having a moment. But aren't the people realizing
that it turns into a fucking pig at some point?
Or does everyone have mini pigs? I think they have
the teacups? Is that is that? Like? Are they being abused?

(06:58):
I feel like anytime I see a tiny animal that's like,
they're like that couldn't have happened. Yeah, it's they have
to keep them in a box like a bonsai tree.
You clip their their feet the feet off. Yeah. No,
they're they're very cute, very smart, pets. Um. One thing
I was going to say about the hand cooking is

(07:19):
also watch out for cap sasan. Yeah you're ever cutting
up talking about without gloves on? Yeah, my wife got
those into I think it was. We had been in
the ocean that morning just to do another little l
A breg and then she was cutting up halapos and
it was like her hands were on fire for like

(07:41):
a day. Wait, just on her hands, yeah, still on
her hand. Yeah, I mean her hands are covered her hands.
I'm sorry. Yes, there was a terrible d gloving accident
where all of the skin from her hand was ripped off.
It is very cool of you to have married a leopard.
That was like very like woke up very Yeah. What
is something you think is overrated? Um? What do I

(08:04):
think is overrated? I think, uh, pretentious coffee is overrated?
Pour over anytime anything is being poured over. I'm an
espresso basic bitch, which I was very excited that you
guys have an espresso here in the studio. Don't tell
people were I don't supposed to be men of the people.
I think this espresso, well, I don't know if it's

(08:24):
a man of the people. I think espresso is the
sugar fish of coffee. That's hell, yeah, talk that sugarfish talk.
But I think that yeah. Anytime, like I'm being told
that I can't put milk in my coffee because it's
going to get in the way of the integrity of
the bean, I'm I'm sorry, did I just buy this
from you? So? And they're like, okay, this coffee, Okay.

(08:53):
The things we do to make a point, Yeah, I
am coffee mate, I think really yeah, always just garbage creamer.
I probably have consumed more coffee made than anything else
with water even then, because I catch him in the
bathroom with a bottle of coffee and just slamming it alone,

(09:14):
and he's like, I don't know, man, something somebody left
us in here. Well, Miles, do you have the Kirkland
coffee over? Well, here's the thing with me and coffee.
I never got into coffee because, as I say all
the time, I'm not really sensitive to caffeine. But this
cold brew Kirklands just like your mainlining just caffeine. So

(09:34):
it gives me a little bit of a lift. Yeah,
I could imagine costco isn't putting out subtle coffee definitely,
not like single origin you know Ethiopian beans. I just
took one of those to the dome. Uh as we started,
it says it's a technically packaged by General Motors, So
I don't know what it is, but it works. Also,

(09:55):
I like, you know, before this turns the Total Food
podcast sikerfish Man for people who barely know about sushi. Yeah, anyway,
we'll leave that there. It's good man, it's fine. It's
it's here's the thing the best. You know what you're
gonna get when you go there. It's like this spresso. Man,
it's not gonna blow your mind, but you know the dosage.
You know exactly what you're gonna get. It's you like

(10:16):
the packaging. I like the flavor. It's not purest sushi.
It's not gonna fucking zero doesn't dream of it, but
it has a nightmare about that ship. It's funny because
I go, I'm Japanese, my mom's Japanese, and the first
time I same drop story. Basically when we were there,

(10:37):
she was talking shit a about their t because she
was like, no, I'm not the green tea here. It's
overly powdered, Like, come on, give me some real green tea.
Although you know a lot of places in Japan they'll
have powdered green tea. She's saying this in here, and
then the rice. Sometimes the ship is too loose, they're
they're not properly, uh is what you would say in Japanese.

(11:00):
You're not actually packing it right. So sometimes if you're
fucking chopstick skills are lacking, that ship will fall apart.
It happens to my partner, her majesty all the time,
and I'm like, yeah, I hear you, dude, And look again,
you don't go there. It's definitely not purest sushi. You
see the guys in the back making it. They're like
line cooks that are like, okay, we're making sushi now.
But it's no. But that's what I'm saying, Like it's

(11:20):
not it's not bad. But then there are there's a
sect of there's a subsection of l a people who
are like, it's the best fucking ship. No, no, no no, okay,
it's the McDonald's for bougie people. But it's also like
McDonald's should be like will be the greatest thing that
America ever does, like that, because but like it's a

(11:42):
you know it for what it is. It does it
really well? Yeah? Can I tell us? Like I was
just in Japan location dr and the thing that blew
my mind the most out of all the food, I
ate pizza. These fuckers are making some pizzas. Dude, which
one dies you go to? I went to a couple
of them. I did go to Pizzala That was the
one that David changoes to, right, probably, I don't know.

(12:04):
I went to that one and then I went to
Pizzala's like apprentice, who was like, I'm going to go
do my own ship, right And dude, I'm telling you,
it's like when Japanese people put their mind to something,
It's like when Jero starts dreaming about pizza Luis. Yeah. No,
it's funny because like recently Japan overtook France in the
world baking competitions. Like they're out doing the French at
making baguettes and croissans now, and they're like, what the

(12:27):
funk happened? Dude? It's nuts there. When they put their
minds on something, it's a game. We'll put our mind
to one thing at the cost of our personal happiness
and then we'll die along exactly. But you'll but you'll
have a beautiful Croissans, beautiful ever fucking had Wait, so
what does Japanese pizzas thing crust? No, dude, they're doing Neapolitan.

(12:47):
They're doing exactly Neapolitan pizza, but they're making it better
than Neopolitans are making. It's crazy. Don't tell them, don't
do not tell them. But it's funny. There's a great
synergy between Japan and Italy actually because a lot of
the best Italian food, a lot of amazing time food
in Tokyo, which has the most Michelin stars of any
city on Earth. Um and also there's just a lot

(13:09):
of Japanese people go to Italy to learn how to
chef and things like that, learned how to cook, and
there were partners in World War Two. They were tremendous
Spaghettish baby make amazing Germany out also interesting fact overlap
to Japan and Germany's their steel is so highly regarded

(13:30):
for like knives and things because there's the highest concentration
of carbon. I believe in the steel, so we do
katanas and the Germans do is willing knives. I do
think it's funny because there was, like, you know, all
the best Japanese knifemakers used to make samurais exactly, and
I always think like that day when they alright, guys, uh,
we're gonna pivot now. This whole gunpowder thing is ruining

(13:53):
our game. We're gonna be cutting tomatoes now. Yeah. What
if some of you think is underrated. I think that
like Spotify premium or any of the premium like paying
for music things is highly underrated. And you don't realize
it until you listen to someone's music and you hear
the ads and it just ruins my fucking life. I've

(14:16):
not it ruins. I couldn't imagine being once Spotify came
out at first. Once I remember Spotify first came out.
What was that like eleven or some ship. I was like,
the funk is this? I'm like, I still buy everything
in the iTunes store and then I burned it on
a CD and then I put it away and then
that CD goes bad after eight years. But like that,
I was like, oh wait, it's everything I already have,

(14:37):
plus everything I'll ever want and then for ten bucks
and one fine. But yeah, there was non commercial music
when I Yeah, when I was at someone's house and
they like maybe a year after and they played it
and the whole vibe was interrupted by like a fucking
CVS commercial, like this is not how God intended music. Yeah.
I think the first time when I upgraded was like

(14:57):
I was making out with someone and it was like
the Drake song was in and it was like, this
is worth ten bucks? Is ruining my life? What is
a myth? What's something people think it's true? You know
to be false. Okay, I'm gonna say a lot of
people think that I'm gonna go back to food. Sorry, guys,
I was going to say, but I think that people

(15:18):
think that anchovies are gross, and I think anchovies are
the most underrated delicious food in the world. And I
think a lot of you fuckers don't know that you're
eating anchovies when you are, and when you taste something,
you're like, wow, this is ridiculously good. Where's that o,
mommy coming? Fucking anchovies? Alright, get some anchovies, get some

(15:38):
fish sauce through that ship and everything, and it'll change
your life. Now, the antovies that I've eaten are very salty.
It's like concentrated salt exactly. But in general, when you
cook it in something you want to basically just the base.
You've got your oil going, you put the anchovies and
it'll melt in there. You're not even a note see it.
You won't notice it, but you'll sense it. Yeah, like

(16:00):
any pasta sauce that's really good, there's an anchovy melted
into there. Yeah. When I was it's the nutmeg of Asia,
if you will. Yeah, maybe I just bought freshly a
whole nutmeg recently because I was like realizing how much
I needed. I was making a bologne sauce and the
fresh nutmeg with a microplane is really the only way
to turn that whole thing up. One thing I will say,

(16:23):
when I was in Florence, Italy, actually I was at
this well hold on, I must say. He mentioned anchovies.
There's a little, uh little place for panini Calledlorence and
they have an anchovy and butter panini that I thought
was like everyone like, people like, you'll get that over there,

(16:44):
and I was like, I don't know. I mean, I
know it's going to be good, but the idea was
a little bit still kind of off putting me. Had
it one of the best things ever had. Butter and
anchovie is fantastic. Also butter and ham, French Baby and
easy dude, so good. Yeah, by the way, this is
the long just it's taken for him to drop that
he was in Italy, I'm surprising. Well, you know, I

(17:07):
don't know the company. Am I around, but yes, for
the initiated a city full of history anyway. Sorry, Uh, well,
let's talk about other culinary delights, because the pumpkin spice
latte is back, and now there's a cold prew version, bitches,
and no one gives a fuck Jim. Yeah, this is

(17:30):
basically monster energy drink for uh yeah, yeah, I guess. Well,
I never even thought about it. Like it's like sugar
and caffeine mixed together, but for basic bitch that tells
people it's like this ain't your grandma's coffee. It's your
grandma's pie. That's coffee. Yeah, put in the blender and

(17:52):
mixed with coffee. I've never actually had a pumpkin spice latte.
Well you gotta try. Is it really worth? How is it?
I imagine it being way too sweet. I'm very sensitive
to the sweet, so yeah, it's gonna be weighted. That's
when you're like, don't put any no pumps of sweetener
at all in this. But already I feel like that
mixes sweet on its own. Yeah. Is it delicious though,
Like I'm down for you like milkshakes, yes, I do.

(18:13):
You like pumpkins, I do, like the Spice girls do,
like the now defunct adult channel Spice, like the rapper
Spice one. I don't know, but I think I would. Well,
then yeah, you're gonna love this. Um. Yeah, it's it's
like a hot milk chake made of coffee and pumpkins. Anyways,
and they're making an ice version. You know what this is? Uh?

(18:34):
And that's Nunking Donuts right, it's everywhere Dunkin Dunkin early
they kicked off I think officially they're Pumpkin Spice slottast
season early and they didn't they didn't patent it. Well,
I think you can't. You know. It's like it's like happiness.
How can you put a patent? Right if you can't. Yeah,
it's not like the polio vaccine, but to some it

(18:58):
might be that would be me if like they could
have patented, but they didn't because for the same reason
that Jonah Salt Like didn't. He was just like, I
have to share this with the world. The world must
taste the pumpkin spice. Like um, Starbucks started started in
two thousand three, did they stuck? Is funny because Starbucks

(19:20):
to me, like they took the macchiato, which is supposed
to be just an espresso with some steam milk in it,
and they turned it into their own drink, which is
it's not like that at all. It's a big drink,
the iced caramel machiatt I remember that fucked up my
whole idea of what a machiato was. You mean just sugar.
How do you just take the name of something and
just completely like I don't know if it's a cultural

(19:42):
appropriation or what appropriation that is, but they just like, yeah,
I we'll think, doesn't just fucking change it? And what
you heard? Drink this now? Every time you go to
like a little like Italian caven order to make they're like,
you know, which you want, like the Starbucks what ever
comes with ice cream? Uh? Yeah? But anyways, I mean

(20:05):
cold brew is extra caffeinated. It's just you know, they
leave cold water and coffee beans overnight, so we we're
fans of cold brews have a conspiracy theory about it.
I think they just take their leftover coffee and they're
just like it's that's ice coffee, like a nineteenth century

(20:26):
tavern or something where it's like all them they drinks,
they empty into one barrel and there's like the all
sorts barrel that you can drink from. Was that a thing?
I just remember in Gangs of New York there was
a scene like that where I noticed there was a
thing that just said all sorts, and like the bar
backs are like dumping like half like drank drinks in it,
and then they're also serving out of it. Yeah, like

(20:48):
that's like take the bar bar rag bar rag and
like squeeze it into the shot class and that's what
someone's fancy our rags. Excuse me. I used to steal
Guinnesses while they settled off of the bar and just
drink other people's Guinnesses. I think it's because in Ireland

(21:13):
they would like, you know, pour a bunch of Guinnesses
and then like have them settling off to the side,
so you would just come up and I feel like,
was that just another subtle location to drop Yeah, everyone's
just let's everyone get their passports. Okay, that's just some
stamp compared wait, so I feel like that would be
like cause for like capital punishment in Ireland, it's like
snagging as settling. Yeah it was budget and yeah was

(21:41):
that getting in Ireland? Let us know? Is that will
you get pounded out for stealing somebody's guinness? Yeah, alright,
we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back, And so were the vm as as

(22:05):
as we opened up discussing. So I always look forward
to the v m a S because on my young youth,
full hip person, none of us do, none of us. Yeah, yeah,
I always talk about how I knew I had reached
a milestone when the summer before Chris Rock hosted the

(22:28):
m A S. I was really looking forward to it
all summer. I was like, oh man, that's gonna be awesome.
And then I that's when I was in college when
they happened, and I didn't even notice that they happened,
and I was like wow, And that's when you got
there goes my childhood. You looked at your hands, they
became wrinkly. You're like, damn um and that's right. And
then I started appreciating the comedy stylings of Jay Leno

(22:52):
instead of Chris Chris Rock gonna say, Tim Conway s
we were watching those today. Those are that. Yeah, I
know I'm old because when I saw yesterday that the
vm as were trending, I did that thing where like
it was like number one trending. I was like, don't
they don't these kids know what's going on in Hong Kong?
Right right? This being number one? Like that's how I'm

(23:14):
getting old. Every time there's something dumb trending number one,
I'm like, but what about hold on? There's nine under things,
the Amazon's burning Hong Kong and pro democracy demonstrations, you know, impeachment, this,
Jeffrey Epstein things getting Mercury or Mercury, Murky Mercury, Freddie Mercury,
Mercury rising. Uh, great movie. Missy Elliott's performance, though, changed
all of our minds. When we saw that, we were like, no,

(23:36):
this should be trending. Well, here's the thing, Missy Elliott
will always put on a good show, So to me,
that doesn't change fundamentally what the vm as are. I'm
just sort of like, you put her anywhere it's destroyed.
But it was objectively better this year than the highlights
I've seen, like on young people's computers, when like you

(23:57):
creep at the library every year. Every Sophie's like, come on, like,
look at all these personances and they're yeah, having yeah, exactly.
And the Normandy's performance was dope. John Travolta managed to
get involved having a drag. Queen continues to be comedy
gold when you get him high on whatever drugs he's

(24:20):
pretending not to take high on a new plane of existence. Dude, Yeah, dude,
he's hi. Zunu Lizzo was amazing. You know, it just
sounds so much sillier for some reason, I think, probably
because I've just heard Zeno abounch uh. There was also
Shawn Mendez and Camilla Cabello are allegedly dating, and they

(24:44):
those words don't even mean anything to you or me
or know I do I like that song, I don't.
I don't know about Sean Shaw Mendez, but they had
like sort of a whack performance. People aren't like feeling
them as a couple, and Entertainment Weekly dropped their review
of their performance, like before the VMA has even started,

(25:05):
more like it's hot and steamy. What about the person
who truly stole the show yesterday, Sebastian Maniscalco. I did
not I didn't know who he was, and then when
I saw that, I was like, huh, I know, I
know who he is. I think he's a great comic,
but I mean him hosting the v m A Is

(25:26):
just sounds like what's his material? Like it's it's like
you've been married for ten years. You're like a little
bitter in your marriage, but you love your wife and
it works. When I heard that he was hosting the VMAs,
I was like, Oh, somebody must know, like they must
have seen something of him that I hadn't seen, and
like they have some understanding of why this is going

(25:50):
to wear and then talk. He got up there, He
got up there and did like, yeah, I'm just the
best reading Slate just fucking transcribed it just so you
could read it and know on its face what this
was like. This is the first word he says, WHOA Listen.
I didn't mean to come out to a cloud of smoke.
But backstage, my mother's friend Zucchini, what the fun. It's

(26:14):
not really a fault. She's making it for twenty people tonight.
So we cracked the window. Hopefully this will all clear
out for the Devil's Home opener. Okay, that was that
a joke for Kevin Smith that then he goes on
it goes also, I'm so glad to be here. I've
been here a week in New Jersey. I'm from Los Angeles.
I don't know why I'm doing this accent because that's
what I feel like. Does he sound like that? Absolutely so.

(26:34):
But he's from Los Angeles and I think he's from
the East Coast, but he's resides. Hey, you know l
a where everybody's writing around in a bird scooter, taking
photos of themselves in front of a wall, and everybody
with a ninth phone apparently is an influencer. Now listen,
New Jersey doesn't have time for that, all right, Jersey
has had one influencer for the past forty years, and

(26:55):
that's Bruce Springsteen. Maybe again, just nailing it when a
what teenagers giving Miles doing Sebastian it's my new favorite thing. Yeah,
oh it's great. I mean this is great. Obviously, we
have a lot of people from the music industry tonight.
Now there's a lot of feuds going on with the

(27:16):
music business. People throw in shade. I just found out
what shade was this week. So in all these all
the shade flying back and forth. Coming up with the
seating chart for tonight was hotter than arranging the tables
from my uncle Luigi's wedding. So I hope everybody's happy
over there. That's literally what he said, you know, do

(27:38):
an actual transcript or like what if they're fucking around?
I think they might be fucking around. I will play
this whow all right, we're gonna listen. I didn't mean
to come out to a cloud as smaller backstage my

(27:59):
mother's fry and KINI I was telling you guys before
the show. I kind of get it because like I
got offered a nice handsome amount of money to last
week go to a university and do stand up and
I'm fucking forty one, Like I cannot relate to these kids.
But I was like, I'll fucking if someone was like that.

(28:19):
If someone it's basically like someone's calling you and it's like, hey, um,
there's a bag, Like for Sebastan, They're probably like, there's
a bag of a hundred thousand dollars in New Jersey.
Do you want to just go and get it? You
want to cry out on a stage in front of
a bunch of people who are gonna just be. When
he did some bit about like safe spaces and trigger warnings,

(28:40):
it was like very much like it sounded like he's
writing for Adam Corolla or something. Yeah, yeah, but yeah,
I love it. You know. Sam Harris hosted the Vienna. Um, hey,
Cardi b is not debate me on it, trying to
change my mind? Like what the uh? All right, well,

(29:01):
let's talk about other people who shouldn't know. It's the
v m as. I'm fucking crushing these transition fantastic Stevens,
who is a New York Times columnist who kind of
takes the conservative side of things. Oh all, I mean
he's mr fucking PC cultures ruining us? What the snow flakery?

(29:22):
Safe space? Like? He's basically what Sebastian Man of Scalco
like this. They think the same. What's a these trigger
warnings and these safe spaces? Safe space used to be
in the bathroom with the lights out before my dad
came home, you know. Anyway, so is that a masturbation? Do?
I don't know? It's going to call you after this
and be like, I need to hire you as my

(29:43):
head writers. Hold on, man, you got my tone? Did
you hack my eye cloud or something? You looking at
my notes. Youre looking at my notes. You hack my
brain because my synapse is the firing. I see these kids,
these gen Z kids, they got no prospects for the future.
They're looking at Listen to this E D M. What
the funk is that? I call it economic distraction music
because they're not paying attention in the futures. Holy fun. Anyway, So, uh,

(30:10):
this is sort of what his whole deal is. Brett
Brett Stevens, brit to Brett Stevens. He goes he just
to give you an example, this is something he said,
like he was praising the University of Chicago because they
had a policy that was against having safe spaces or
trigger warnings for you know, students who might have come
through some kind of trauma. First, he's quoting from the
committee at university quote, concerns about civility and mutual respect

(30:33):
can never be used as a justification for closing off
discussion of ideas, however offensive or disagreeable. Those ideas maybe
to some members out of our community, typical right wing
sort of free speech shit. Uh. Then goes on and
then this is sort of his commentary. Those are fighting
words at a time when professors live in fear of
accidentally offending their own students, and a governor needs to

(30:54):
declare a countrywide state of emergencies so that white supremacist
Richard Spencer can speak at the University of Florida. They're
also necessary words. That isn't because universities need the First
Amendments most loyal guardians. In the case of private universities,
the First Amendment generally doesn't apply. They set their own
rules instead. It's because free speech is what makes educational
excellence possible. So he's always saying like they don't care

(31:18):
if it's homophobic, it's free speech. So cut to a
couple of days ago when there was like the story
that came out that the New York Times building had
bed bugs or whatever. Um, this professor at George Washington University,
like quote tweeted, like the article that said breaking there
are bed bugs in the n y T newsroom. And
then his tweet was, the bedbugs are a metaphor, the

(31:39):
bedbugs are Brett Stevens. Okay, not even a Miles level joke,
a Miles doing Sebastian level. No, I have done a
lot of that. That's that's crickets all day uh, and
I think that thing only got like six likes or
something three retweets. Then suddenly he continued this chain. He said,
I just got an email from Bread Stevens see seeing

(32:01):
the university provost. He's deeply offended that I called him
a metaphorical bedbug. This is his email. Dear Dr KRP,
someone just pointed out a tweet you wrote about me
calling me a bedbug. I'm often amazed about the things
supposedly decent people are prepared to say about other people,
people they've never met, on Twitter. I think you've said
a new standard. I would welcome the opportunity for you
to come to my home, meet my wife and kids,

(32:22):
and talk to us to for a few minutes, and
then call me a bedbug to my face. That takes
some genuine courage and intellectual integrity on your part. I
promised to be courteous no matter what you have to say.
Maybe it will make you feel better about yourself. Please
consider this is standing invitation. You are more than welcome
to bring your significant other cordially Bret Stevens, Miles does.
Brett Stevens is almost as good as Miles does the best.

(32:45):
Then he fucking quit Twitter. He git Stevens quickening quit Twitter.
He said, time to do what I long long ago
a promise to do. Twitter is a sewer. It brings
out the worst in humanity. I sincerely apologize for a
part I've played in making it worse. And anyway, thanks
all my fathers, but I'm deactivating this account. Wow, my

(33:07):
man goes on MSNBC and fucking digs the whole even
deep listen to how he even portrays what did you
have against bedbugs? I'm gonna be careful with my words
because I know these are going to be examined carefully.
So I think Twitter brings out the worst in its users.

(33:29):
It tends to bring out the worst in its users.
And yesterday, um a professor George Washington University described me
as a bed bug or a metaphorical bedbug, just in
the context of the New York Times having a bedbug
problem in our building. And I think that kind of
rhetoric is dehumanizing and totally unacceptable no matter where where

(33:49):
it comes from. All I would say is that using
dehumanizing rhetoric like bedbugs or you know, analogizing people to
insects is always wrong. Can get better we should be
the people on social media that we are in real life.
There's a bad history of being called uh, being analogized
to insects. That goes back to a lot of totalitarian

(34:10):
regimes in the past. I've been called worse. I wrote
this guy a personal note. Now it's out there for
everyone to see. Yeah, everyone to see how much of
a pearl clutching snowflake you are yourself, sir. So this
is the classic ship that they do well. The right
has been like talking about the infestation of you know,

(34:30):
Mexican immigrants. Free speech man. Yeah, until until that shows
up on my I'm gonna jump in here and say,
I know Bret Stevens. Do I do? I've had dinner
with Brett steven I went to a to a dinner
in New York last year and he was there, and um,
I sat next to him. He was a really he
was a great guy. I can't say a bad thing

(34:51):
about him. I probably like Brett Stevens a little more
than you guys do, and I think that he definitely.
The thing is, he must be like searching for like
what everyone everything that people are saying about him, and
this got on his radar because yeah, the guy didn't
at him, didn't at him at all, and it had
like a paltry like like to retweet ratio. That's like
you went into the search box and put your name in.

(35:12):
I don't even think it's a good idea to look
at your mentions like because that is probably mentally unhealthy.
But to actively like be constantly searching your name is
self harm. Yeah, that's self harm. It's very it's very dangerous.
And I'm sure that you know we get it as well,
because I get like it's funny like if I put
like a YouTube video or there's a YouTube video of
me or whatever, I like just like kind of rushed

(35:35):
through all the positive stuff one negative thing and I'm like, clear, calear,
I can't do anything. Just misspelled comment about But it
wasn't even that bad. I mean, it's like you're in
the public eye, like these things happen, and then like,
I don't know, I think liking it that's the I
don't know, I think taking it to like, oh this,

(35:55):
he didn't mean totalit, Harry. He wasn't like doing what
like Nazi cartoonists we're doing or anything like that. Why
is he even mentioning that in his like sort of
rationalization as to why this was so offensive. I think
he I think you're I think he was. I think
he's digging a hole, and I think he's like trying
to get out of it. And I think people like
that who are like, you know, they debate for a living,

(36:16):
like they're not willing. It's very hard to just say, Okay,
I'm sorry, maybe I overreacted, yeah, or just you know,
fucking move on, dude. But it's it's like anything he's like,
oh no, x X truck nuts for x X. But
it's funny that it was that. It's true. He definitely
is the you know, the kind of flag bearer of like,
let's stop being so sensitive. And this, to me, this

(36:38):
being the thing that put him over the edge, seems
almost there must be I think there's layers to this.
Maybe with this professor, maybe with his history with bed bugs.
Maybe he was called bedbugs in college because he's a
stinky kid or something. I don't know, maybe he had
bed bugs. I'm going to be a full disclosure. I've
also had bed bugs. I've met Bret Stevens and I've
also had so thank you for getting two. Actually, can

(37:03):
we just cut this out of the episode. If you've
never had bed bugs, you've probably never lived in New York.
But it's also just the worst thing ever. But again
that's that's a tangent. I think this is ridiculous that
this is what kind of set him off. We have
bed bugs here in l A. To really get about
the Alexandria Hotel downtown where people got them from just

(37:25):
hanging out there there. Everyone's staying in there and they're spreading.
Are they do? You have to throw all your ship
away when you get bed I think spread in l
A a a little more than in New York, because in
New York they're just like just fucking you know, put
the spread the DDT in your apartment and that's sebast
that's my Sebastian. But here they're like, we don't use chemicals.
We're just gonna rub some tumeric on the bed smudge.

(37:48):
We'll just get some stage. Get well. So the Jeffrey
Epstein hearing happened yesterday. I guess it was more of
like a public hearing, but it was interesting. I mean,
so they had victims speak about, you know, what they lost,

(38:09):
and you know, you got detail about you know, the
sexual assault and were they doing it to like his corpse,
like he was like a kind of Bernie's right. Basically,
that's kind of the vibe like this is what that
uh Michigan state doctor like Larry Nasser had done to him,
except like he they got to like have the satisfaction

(38:31):
of saying it to his face. And you know, they
were talking about there's a big void here, like it's
cowardly that he you know, took took the way out
that he did. And Epstein's defense attorneys were like, actually,
our client was probably murdered. Yeah, used that they explicitly said, yeah,

(38:52):
I mean they basically said, there's an independent medical examination
that found that he had broken bones in his neck,
consistent with more of a homicide. And the prosecution was like, well,
it doesn't matter whether like for the purposes of this hearing,
and the judge was like, overruled. I actually think it

(39:13):
does have something that this guy was murdered, right, what
do you guys think? It's shady as fun, it's shady.
It's hard for me to trust what I hear about
it because when you look at all the people that
could possibly be implicated in this, it threatens to disrupt
the power structures of this entire world in a way
it could definitely bring both sides together, and I was

(39:34):
cheering for that. I was like, fuck it, like, let's
just get it all out. Let's fucking raise this thing
and start over. I mean, like that would ever happen.
But then there's also a news story that said one
of the UH cameras that was right in front of
his cell like they couldn't use the footage from it
because it was like not good enough for investigative purposes.
I don't even know what that means. It says at

(39:55):
least one camera station in the hallway outside billionaire financier
and sex offender Jeff Epstein's prison cell or officials say
he hanged himself earlier this month had footage that was
deemed unusable. Right, I'm super in general anti conspiracy theories,
but this one is just like it's hard, dude. Anytime
you're like ahead of time, you're like, man, I bet

(40:16):
this is going to happen, and then it happens, it's
like it's yeah, what did he hang himself with? By
the way, wasn't bed sheet? Yeah? What on suicide watch?
Did they normal? I mean, he wasn't on suicide watch.
I thought he was. Took him off they did a
week after he attempted suicide. They're like, yeah, he seemed good.
He was whistling and his and it's and then even

(40:40):
like just seeing the like he should have had a
cell mate and he didn't. And a lot of the
fingers are being pointed at like an overworked prison staff.
But I'm sure part of that can be by design too,
to make sure there are like you don't have the
people who are as vigilant as they need to be
for people who are in this you know section of
the prison. Right. Um, but they were supposed to check
on him every half hour, and they were checking on

(41:02):
him every uh. They hadn't checked on him in like
six hours, three hours or three hours. I don't know
what I'm going to need to hear that I will
begin to feel that there's some kind of element of
truth to this. There was a New York Times article
about his final days where it was like he did
seem to be losing steam and like he was really

(41:22):
despondent and starting to realize that there was no way
out of this. Yeah, but I mean whether or not
he actually was the person who ended his life isn't
as relevant to me as like, but is there a
way that they facilitated that because they like it was
an easier way to protect other people who he could
have like verbalized like no these people I was with
and did this stuff with, you know, yeah, And I

(41:46):
mean I think the way the judge and the defense
we're talking about this trial, this was sort of a
one of the last steps, like they're like, well, this
is the public hearing to like get these things out
since we won't be able to have the uh, the
actual hearing. And but but it didn't seem like they

(42:08):
were like and now we're going to keep going into
this and the prosecution was like you need to look
into the crimes and prosecute the people who helped him.
But it seemed like that was them saying, you know,
complaining about a thing that wasn't going to happen, as
opposed to you know, saying that this is something they
think is going to happen. Um, yeah, well, ship I

(42:33):
wonder a Sebastian Maniscalco has to say, that is the
question you're gonna ask what you gotta warm up? I'm
not as good as you, Miles you're you're you're in
his brain. You some you like you like summon him.
You have like a Wuiji board that brain. I just
channel child Sebastian. Um. Well, since we don't like to

(42:58):
end on Epstein, New is the World, So that's not
how this podcast works. You guys don't do that every episode.
We don't like to go into a break on that.
So I will tell you the longest, tallest, and fastest
roller coaster with speeds of a hundred and fifty five
miles per hour is coming to Saudi Arabia's new Six
Flags theme Park. There's six Flags in Baby the Falcons

(43:24):
flight could hit dizzy speeds up to hundred mile per hour.
It's going to be the tallest roller coaster. Wasn't it
called Bone Saw before? That? Was it? I gotta go.
I'm constantly fascinated by Gulf arabs desire to outdo the

(43:47):
whole world in like dumb shit, like we're going to
make the biggest man made island in the shape of
an art that ever been seen. Alright, alright, right, yeah,
did you see uh MBS's plans for like building Jurassic
Park out of robots? Yeah, yeah, he has a plan

(44:10):
for it's like this lunar like park thing. What do
you mean a lunar park? I don't know, Like it's
on the moon, No, but it like has some sort
of like space age aspect to it and super produce
around Hosny and knows. Basically he's trying to create like
a futuristic city that's like a like a party city.

(44:31):
It's like a Dubai times a thousand called there is
an actual plan for it's like literally called like Plan
Neon or something like that. We talked about on Ethnically
and videos. That's a plug. Yeah. I think it's really
crazy and I don't know if they'll be able to
do it because it costs like six jillion dollars or
something like that. It's out of control. But it will
have yeah, like it will be like a lot of space,

(44:53):
and it's going to be like I literally think based
off the description, will be like a giant dome. I
don't know. It's they're literally like twelve year old who
have billions of dollars. They're like, we're going to We're
going to make we need to dinosaurs. It's like, um,
but your jails are full of journalists. I don't have

(45:13):
a dinosaurs. I want to hang with a raptor. I
want to feed the bloggers to the dinosaurs. Uh. Sorry.
The lunar thing is that it's going to have a
fake moon, an extra fake moon, like orbiting it. I
think it's I can't even you know what. I'm just
gonna take everything you say is in fact that's definitely planned.

(45:36):
B Initially, he's like, I want to make a real moon,
another real moon to put around my Jurassic Park. Like,
we can't do that, all right's fake moon. It's called neom.
It's going to have flying cars, a fake moon, Grand
seven surveillance. I love it. All the things people love
one partying. All right, we're gonna take another quick break.

(45:59):
We'll be right back after that. And we're back. And Miles,
you've written a headline it says red Bull doesn't give
you wings. I don't believe that. Explain, Well, where do

(46:23):
I start. There's an energy drink called red Bull. That
slogan is red Bull gives you wings or we're starting
at the beginning, from the beginning of time. And I
believe they're a Austrian company or German. Yes, and they
sponsor many football teams soccer clubs if you will. But yeah,
there's apparently there have been lawsuits about consumers complaining that

(46:45):
they didn't actually get wings from this drink. Not that
they believed they would sprout straight up like archangel type wings,
but just the idea that like it would enhance your
performance or something aside from just get your heart race.
It's terrible for you. Well, so in there were Americans
consumer like, there was like a class action lawsuit. Red
Bulls settled for thirteen million dollars on the same complaints.

(47:07):
And I don't know if this ship really gets me
winged up, homie, So pass over the fucking money real quick. Uh.
And now the Canadians want and two so Canadians that gang,
here's your chance apparently. Uh. Now this is from an article.
It says the company has agreed to pay fifty thousand
dollars after settling a Canadian class action lawsuit filed by
Michael Atar in February. The case is based on a

(47:30):
similar US class action settlement filed based on the claim
that drinking Redpool does not give you, quote wings or
result in improved performance. Guys, we're making money the hard way. Seriously, Well,
if you go to. I think that the website if
you're Canadian, there's like a website you can go to.
It's like location restricted, so that he's a VPN if

(47:51):
you're trying to ten dollar check, like it's called like
energy Drink Settlement dot com or something where you can
get your money for being wingless. I could see mb
yes doing this lawsuit, but like I drank the wh
this is bullshit. He starts doing scam lawsuits. I don't
know this pumpkin spice left it was so hot burned,

(48:11):
not a scam lawsuit? The hot that I mean, I
saw that documentary. What do you think you still think
not a scam? I think it's not a scam. Really? Yeah?
What did the documentary give room for the scam? The
idea that it could have been a scam? We're talking
about the woman who was handed coffee so hot for McDonald's.
She spilled it on herself. She got what third degree
burns on her legs. Yeah, you think not a scam,

(48:33):
very very bad burns. Yeah, it was just an insane
uh incredibly high uh temperature. Was it that she the
cup made her drop it or she had her in hand,
she dropped it and then it happened to be hot.
I don't know, I don't know that enquiring minds. Yeah,

(48:54):
it's like, did you wait, didn't you represent McDonald's in
a similar case. I do feel like Red Bull has
too much money for the product that they sell, like that.
That's one of the things that makes me suspicious of them,
Like this, yeah, absolutely, Well, like is it just made
of garbage ingredients? Is it a drug front? Because like

(49:14):
it's I get that it's popular, but like they own
so much ship and they have like entire you know, teams,
music studios, TV studios. It's like that shouldn't be possible. Well,
they you know what they did. What kind of revenue
they pulled in in was that seven point three nine

(49:35):
billion dollars billion? Is it mostly off of the drink
or is it is it off of the other stuff?
I'm not sure. I mean, I don't know what they
really They sponsor a lot of stuff, so I'm not
sure what people are Like the products they sell are
is essentially just the drink drinking Red Bull, Like I
don't know anyone who drinks it on the regular, people

(49:56):
who work raves, Yeah, like me, Yeah, I used to
have to drink so much Red Bull. And that's another thing.
Red Bull didn't give me fucking wings either. It's only
this fucking Kirkland signature. Cold. Get your ten bucks Canadian dollars. Okay,
a Canadian member of the z getting marry me. Just
get my paper. We're going get my ten dollars. I
will divorce you amicably. Boom, I've, I've, and you'll split

(50:17):
the money. But the box right there. I had a
like two three Red Bull a day habit at one point.
I don't think I've ever put anything in my body
that made me feel worse than Red Bull. It makes
you feel bad. Yeah, huh yeah, I did love um.
When I back in my vm A watching days. Um,
I love the Red Bull vodka. I thought it was

(50:38):
a fun drink. It would keep me up, keep me going,
get my energy fun. He's moving his shoulders back and forth. Yea,
for the record, I'm shimming. Yeah, you can tell it's
I enjoyed it. But again, I would not think that
it made They made seven billion dollars on my little
shoulder shimmy. That interest me. It'll make your shoulders do this.

(50:59):
That's that's what they're going to change. But I guess
they did profit from like f one sponsorships. I mean
they got money here and there, but I don't. But
I mean their core business is the energy drink. So yeah,
and just knowing that red Bull has just become synonymous
with like fucking extreme adrenaline ships just use that to
make themselves. They seem to be an example of a
smart direction of that twelve year old energy. They like

(51:22):
invest their twelve year old money. Well right, they're like,
you know what, dude, fuck it, let's send a guy
who This guy wants to jump out of fucking space.
Right then, I know, and I was like, damn, red Bull.
It was a weird thing. And in college I used
to like sort of dream about I was like, dude,
how sick would that be if you just sucking from
space space dude, and you got the fucking X. I

(51:44):
would literally talk like this. I would be like, think
about this. Here in space, the fucking universe is expanding
around you fucking infinitely, and then you jumped down into
this like fucking finite plane on Earth. Man, Just like
I don't know, dude, to suck me up, as I
would say this funked up on a bag chair, I'm
realizing that this next story I should have teased as

(52:06):
the Flaming Hot Cheetos movie instead of Eva Longoria's next project. Yeah,
Eva Longoria is going to direct a movie about flaming
Hot Cheetos. That sounds weirder than it is. The story
of Flaming Hot Cheetos is actually very interesting. When I
saw the headline of like, you know, Longori to helm
Flaming Hot Cheetos or whatever, I was like, I thought,

(52:28):
did the Emoji movie do that well where people are
like it, man, Yeah, it's doing about this bag of chips.
But I didn't realize it's it's the origin story of
flaming Hot Cheetos. Is there a story to be told? Yeah,
it's I got. Everything's got like the immigrant experience, It's
got fucking just dedicate. I don't know, Jack you When
I said it, Jack was like, oh, yeah, yeah. Because
of my previous job, I just know cool stories like yeah,

(52:53):
I was a head of the Cheeto brand rep for
Freedo different events in the city or in the end,
the Big Cheeto. But this it's the story of a
janitor who worked at the Fried to Lay Company and
was just a huge, huge fan of Cheetos. And he

(53:13):
and his wife had this ingredient that they would add
to it that would make it extra super spicy, and he,
like goodwill, hunting his way up in the snack food
world and like you know, used his access to the
Freedo Lay company to get this idea in front of
people and become an executive. Oh so oh so it

(53:34):
wasn't like that. He was just like sweeping up and
he was like I think when he pitched it, he
was a janitor, custodian damn. And then then his best
friend knock on his door hoping that he wouldn't be there. Yeah,
he did. That's part of my dad. And now he's
an executive. Yeah, hopefully he's profiting off of his wonderful creation.

(53:55):
And they were just like, how about we give you
a job and we won't give you any of like
the actual real one. I think he got I think
he profits. He got it. God, I mean, there's flame
and hot. Do you think about how the Flaming Hot
universe it's constantly expanding as well? Flaming Hot Funian is
not a big fan of be honest. A final way,
I'm going to say something that's probably gonna be as

(54:16):
controversial as the fact that I know Brett Stevens. I
don't love cheetos. I've never loved cheetos. I don't love dorritos.
I've never loved dorritos. Now that's a little more count
I think there's something about cheesy tortilla e cheese and
cheese and corn processed. For some reason, it doesn't do
it for me. And I'm not taking off his shirt
and starts stretching. I'm just I'm sweating. Listen, listen. I'm

(54:39):
not above processed foods. I love me a good processed food.
That's your favorite's you want prove yourself right now, it's
your favorite process bitch, counter, I want more than oh yeah,
way more, way more. Oh, I can hold something rough

(55:00):
end about that, actually, because I do appreciate there's something
very subtlety too. Yeah, it's really It doesn't smack you
on top of the head, but next to you know,
you finished the whole box. It's really wonderful. And if
you if you want to fox with a nil wafer
banana pudding. Yeah, see, that's the thing. My earliest memories
are Nila wafers being handed out in like daycare and

(55:20):
then on the box. I always remember they presented as
the garnish and like this pudding. I have yet to
have that. Dude, you gotta somebody help me out. All
you gotta do is google Magnolia Bakery, Nila Wafer putting
and follow that. It's so easy. You make it with
with jello, instant vanilla pudding. Great and you and basically
that's it. Yeah, and then you need a banana and

(55:42):
throw some bananas in there. Of course it's that easy.
Of course, it's so easy, and it's so good. It's
a it's a party pleaser. If you're going to a party,
you want to bring something everyone's gonna talk about. Ever
make it? I make it all time? Oh damn? Oh
so so Nilla Wafers really is? I love Nila? Wait, first,
I never buy I don't have like Nilla's in the

(56:03):
fucking pantry, but like Nabisco hollers, Yeah, yeah, it was
in the pa Guys, give me a lifetime supply of
fucking NILA's. Who else is fucking hawking Nilla Wafers on podcasts?
Literally no nobody? Yeah, um, but yeah, I love Vanilla.
I call it Nija. Yeah, someone's from Colombia. I got it. Nimnia,

(56:27):
uh nia, let's talk about the hashtag boycott all of
Garden movement. Stop calling the movement a movement. It is okay, sorry,
boycott all of Garden revolution. It's will not be televised.
So Alive Garden is one of the food brands. I

(56:48):
guess they're mostly food brands that got mentioned in that tweet,
and then Bernie Sanders just retweeted, retweeted, didn't even retweet it,
just like quoted it and mentioned the same thing without
fact checking in The Washington Post pointed out that at
least the information that that tweet was going off of,
they were including money donated by packs and individuals, so

(57:10):
not necessarily like from the organization, right. That's why when
I had to clarify people with Taco Bell and they
were on that list. But the owner of the company
isn't the best either, So I think it's funny though.
It's like, what is the Venn diagram of people who
go to Olive Garden and people who like care, Yes, exactly,

(57:30):
Like I don't know that there's much of a cross
section there right. Well, with that lifetime pasta pass, they
just gave away dollars for a lifetime of pizza, pasta
for soup and breadsticks. I mean, look, I think that
if we can talk about the food just for one
minute and then we'll get back into the politics. I
think that the olive Garden is I put it on

(57:50):
the same level as the uh what I imagine the
pumpkin spice Latze is, which is like a bunch of
like scientists get together in and they're like, what can
just like activate all the pleasure sensors in the brain
and let's just work from there. Because the food is delicious,
it's fucking gross. It's just like it's like, you know,
cheesecake factories, like delicious and gross, and they're just sugar

(58:13):
fish McDonald's fish getting dragged into this, right, Uh yeah,
sugar don't even look into their politics, man. Yeah, yeah,
Kazu dude. But then it was wrong, right Yeah, So
so it was basically like they weren't or the whole
list was kind of Yeah, the whole list is a
little bit uh questionable. Um, first time that I'm an

(58:36):
anti list guy right in general? Yeah, I think they
can get dangerous. Yeah. Yeah, And apparently this isn't the
first time all of Garden has been targeted by an
online boycott because back in two thousand fifteen, conservatives were
up in arms that the company that owns all of
Garden was donating to Planned Parenthood, and that was also
bullshit stemming from a boycott list. So this is something

(58:59):
that happen and a man Darden Restaurants gets a bad ratman.
So that nothing wrong. If you want to boycott Alive Garden,
there's plenty of good reasons to like what so they
contribute to this National Restaurant Association, uh, lobbying interest that
is basically all about, you know, trying to screw their

(59:21):
employees over. That's probably every one of these fucking baby
Oh yeah, yeah probably. I can't imagine a behemoth come
because I think they're the one of the largest employers
of like tipped workers or something. Right, No, because of
because they own all of Gardens. It's not unique. It's
more an indictment of the system. But uh, you know,
they have fought specifically to not give employees sick leave

(59:44):
and fought when regulations are suggesting that they should give
employees sick leave, which is not a great policy for
your workers or your customers. Since the CDC has found
that infected food work ER's account for the vast majority
of neurovirus outbreaks uh and the olive garden head outbreaks

(01:00:09):
of illnesses involving hundreds of their staff and customers in
two thousand six and two thousand eleven. And Darden is
still fighting to not give their employees good like sick
day benefits. And they're the largest direct employer of tipped
workers in the world and are trying to fight against
the undoing of the sub minimum wage that applies to

(01:00:29):
tipped workers, so basically making it so they can pay
their tipped employees. And then they pay a lot of
their employees with fucking gift cards like debit like reloadable
debit cards to save them costs on payroll stuff rather
than handing out paper checks, which opens the employees to
all sorts of fees and ship Because yeah, it's not

(01:00:51):
a great company, not a great damn it. But but
those But I mean, can you argue with hospitality on
the really the salad and bread sticks, I got a question,
are the most undervalued of our restaurants offering? Yeah, because
it's free. You just go in there, just eat all
that ship. You have a person who's sick who has

(01:01:12):
no other financial recourse but to go to work on
your food. Now you just say stay away from me,
Stay away, you, you poor Sprinkle a Z pack on
right on the bread sticks and you go to town.
Let me ask you this fresh ground Z pack you got?
You guys seem like foodies. You guys like fans of
the food. Don't know what gave you that? I said,
McDonald's is America's greatest. What is your level of Let's

(01:01:37):
say there's like, let's say there's like a KKK guy,
huh who happens to be making like the country's the
best pie anyone's ever tasted? Would you would you go
and have that? Well? What did he do with the KKK?
He was like the treasurer he was he wasn't even
treasure he was like he was like their social media outreach,

(01:01:58):
but like second in command. Like he would just have
to keep the passwords in order and stuff and what
kind of seafood is in the pipe? Oh, it's just
like he This should show you how flexible i'm he's
so he's such a sustainable fisher, Like he will only
use things from the gulf that you know have bounced
back their population to bounced back, but he's making the

(01:02:20):
most delicious like Josean dressed. I'm asking, did you see
that photo of me at David Duke's house having pie?
Is that where this is coming from? That's what we're
all doing this an intervention. Yeah. I did actually go
to the South once. I had I had a show.
I think it was in South Carolina and there was
I had to show it like a like a Jewish
federation as well. And after the show, they're like, we're

(01:02:42):
gonna get food. Are you okay? This was like ten
years ago too. He's like they're like, are you okay?
Like there there's they're the best barbiean town is this
company and the guys like clearly like it is a
huge fan of the Confederacy. It's gonna Confederate flags everywhere.
And he's got a book. He's written books about I
think it's called like Sunny Is Barbecue. I don't know.
I don't want to give out the wrong name, but

(01:03:02):
if you're in the South, you know what I'm talking about,
Like it's a chain of barbecue. Yeah, Like the guy
has books about why like the South will rise again,
but his barbecue is so delicious I was like, I'll go,
let's do it, guys. Table full of Jews went and
had pork barbecue and it was like a lot of
it was very intersectional. Yeah, I think that it would

(01:03:27):
make terrible tasting food. Food might be the great you know,
it's it's very hard to hate someone when they make
such great food. Well, but yeah, I feel like a
lot of races have no problem eating Mexican food. It's
funny because when you see all those people to see
the person cooking it. Yeah, like where Kelly and Conway
or like Mitch McConnell's like having Mexican food and room right.

it's the worst way that you could cook a crab,

(01:05:37):
but some journalists wrote this really beautiful tweet about it. Okay, yeah,
so this is this guy, David Simon who's a journalist,
and he was writing about crab boils and he said
boil is a tragic error in speech and deed esteemed
undrowned blue crab is God's recipe and Wendell Pierce, who
was accorded five years in Baltimore, should know this. Boiled

(01:06:00):
crabs stand as the rare singular crime and seafood preparation
committed with Orleans Parish. M David Simon is also the
