Speaker 1 (00:05):
It's time, all right, before we get into the main
story of food news.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
There was an announcement a little bit earlier that Luca
will be on hot Ones on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
I saw that, and it's great. Dude like he is.
It's a full on media blitz. He is freaking everywhere
and I see people going, man. Uh, marketing in La
is just different, and maybe it maybe it does have
to do with him just being around all these places
it's easy to get to.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
But I also think it's just growing him and his
brand exploding. I think that's a yeah. I think it's
a huge part of that.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I also think, uh, you know, we were talking to
Derek about this. He's now been speaking English more prominently
for seven years, and you gain confidence in that as
you go. I can't wait to see how he approaches
postgame interviews because they're going to be on national TV.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh much.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
He already was a lot, but now that he's with
the Lakers, it's going to be exponential.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
We're actually I'm about to book this so I'm gonna
take my family to go see the Maps play the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
In La badass. Where are you going?
Speaker 6 (01:12):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
November twenty eighth, right after Turkey Day. It's a Friday. Yeah,
and just head up there and go watch. I think
it'd be fun. Just I'll be a Luca fan forever,
and obviously I'll be a Maverick fan forever, and so yeah,
just looking for something fun to do with the kids.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
And so we're gonna head up there. That's sam Ritz
Cup game. That's great.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So our friends over at Arby's are in the news.
For all these years we've been eating chicken nuggets, but
no one ever thought to make steak nuggets.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
But here we are. Now Arby's is debuting steak nuggets
and you can get them down. You give it a
five count or a nine count.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Is this gonna be like chicken fried steak? Basically, No,
it's steak.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
They're leaning into protein. Chicken fried steak is chicken fried covering.
This is just steak.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Oh there's no, it's not. It's not fried, it's not.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Dog, it's pieces of steak.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, I'm I can't imagine this is gonna be good.
I might go get it immediately after the show. I
try it because I want to try it. I do
like carb free protein stuff like that. And you know,
if I go get a burger, I get rid of
the bun and it's messy. This might be easy to eat,
but I can't imagine this being good.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Not at Arby's. I love Arby's, but those little like
I saw a picture of them. They look delicious, But
I'm like, come on, it's Arby's.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
They're not gonna look like that when you get them, right,
Is it gonna have Arby's sauce to dip it in?
Speaker 6 (02:41):
Ooh?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So in the review that I read, they were just
using barbecue sauce from there. But you can get any
type of sauce that you would normally get at Arby's.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
If you want Horsey sauce a five pack.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
The five piece order would have three hundred and forty
calories and give you seventeen grams of protein, which is
what places are looking into this man Like Starbucks just
added a bunch of like protein lattes. People are trying
to protein up these days.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
What is a protein latte?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It just got protein milk in it.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Oh yeah, basically the same idea as a smoothie. People
drinking smoothie proteins and you can get those smooth when
you go to a SMOOTHI place you can get protein powder. Yeah,
they're just gonna put it in coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, like it like you get out of that big
jar when you're a weightlifting man.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah yeah, doesn't that just bulk you up?
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Like why do we?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Why is that popular right now? Because allegedly it helps
you to lose weight?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Interesting, So like just putting more protein that burns.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Fat, Yeah, okay, makes your body go to work and
just you know, metabolism going.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
But it's combined with no carbs right.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
As few carbs as possible.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Like it it neutralizes the carb intake, is my understanding
off this Arby's article on.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
He goes to gym.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
He always tells us about so leg day to day,
I need to get my protein talk from him.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yep, that's there. No, I think that'll well, let me
add this.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Happy National Taco Day, everybody, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Happy National Taco. The lady at Axios said this.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
She did take a little taste, as she said, I
tried them. I could smell the steak before I even
opened the container. The pieces were pink inside and had
a lot of flavor. Oh so their medium rare?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, I know, it's like, how's it cooked? Do you
need do I? Need to fork it or can I
is this a finger food steak?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Part of this is offensive, like if you really listen
to what's being said, Like, I don't know that a
lot of this can be said the way you're saying.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, get your mind out of the gutter.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Boy. I'm alright, Paul, I'm gonna go get them after
the show.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I'm gonna try and get a side of that cheddar,
white cheddar mac and cheese.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Film that, all right, I'll film it. I'll go, I'll
go try these are film.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yourself putting the pieces of meat inside your mouth.
