Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Niel Savedre.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty the four Report
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
How do you do?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Happy Saturday to you? Oh man, excuse me?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
This month is flying by, Holy smokes, I can't believe it.
I'm just the is.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
We get into this part of the season and we
start sneaking into although a slow sneak this year into fall.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I just get excited when the weather finally changes and.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Halloween and Thanksgiving and of course Christmas or whatever you celebrate.
It is just a great time. Ad by Also, it
starts putting me in this really really fun, fun mood. AnyWho,
back to the show, Shall we spicy foods? What do
they do to your body?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I talked.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I was talking with Marla Teas from Fox eleven. We
were filling in for Gary and Shannon, and I was
telling her about there is some science behind having hot
liquids on hot days. If you go to other countries
and you visit very hot countries, you will learn that
these people deal with, you know, the hot temperatures and
everything on the daily right, so you can learn by
(01:15):
what they eat, drink and what they wear as to
how to deal with the heat, and really it comes
down to the way your body reacts to the hot
fluid and then you start to sweat. Of course, if
you're in that's if you're dry, If you're in hogh humidity,
it might not work the same in the same way,
(01:35):
in the same sense, but there's science behind that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Now, what about spicy foods.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It's really interesting because you'll find that in those same
hot areas, those hot climates, they eat a lot of
spicy food. Now, spicy food isn't just spicy or hot.
It's a punch of flavor and with that, with the
combination of the heat, it can affect your body in
all kinds of ways. So it can help you cool
(02:03):
down in one sense on a hot day, potentially giving
you a mood boost. As well, Spicy foods make you
more It may do more of an impact on your
body than you think. So while they can aid in
cooling you off and even help with weight loss a
little bit, they can also bring on heartburn or make
it hard to sleep. There are times, you know, we've
(02:25):
all experienced that where you've had spicy foods and they
keep you awake at night a little bit, or maybe
you don't have them anymore at night before that reason.
So if you love the heat, here is a quick
rundown of how spicy foods kind of play with your
body in their chemical compound and stuff the cooling effects.
So spicy foods can help you cool down because it
makes you sweat, which evaporates, which cools your skin. Increased
(02:49):
blood flow. Eating spicy food boosts your blood flow in circulation,
helping you feel refreshed, maybe even a little frisky, you
know what I'm saying. Feeling a little amorous, anxious.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
In't that beetlejuice? Doesn't he say that? One point?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm feeling a little light. He's got all these horns
popping out of him. I'm feeling a little anxious, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
All right?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Potential longevity longevity, Regular eating of spicy food might lower
your risk of dying early or earlier by about thirteen
to fourteen percent weight loss aid So, the main ingredient
in spicy foods coming from peppers and the like is
Capsaican cap Sacan is an oil and in spicy foods
(03:34):
that can slow down digestion make you feel fuller. Potentially
with that happening, help with weight control as well obesity risk.
Here's the other side, Eating lots of spicy food could
be linked to a higher risk of obesity depending on.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Your overall diet.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Well, the I love when these study of the study
of studies, not studios, these studies that always seem to
contradict each other.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
There a little bit heart health.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Spicy foods may improve heart health by boosting good cholesterol
or HDL, lowering the bad cholesterol LDL sweet tooth reduction.
This is an interesting one to me because of the
way that our body reacts to it. Spicy food might
make you less likely to crave sweets.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
After a meal.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Now, I'm trying to think in certain cultures with super
hot hot foods, if they have a whole lot of
sweets like deserty things after a meal. Sweating the heat
for spicy food, obviously we talked about that will cause
you to sweat tingling in the tongue. Your tongue and
lips may tingle because spicy compounds activate those nerve receptors
(04:45):
in your mouth, and that's why it starts to tingle,
and it, you know, is pretty intense. That's because of
those things running out. Spicy foods can cause a running
nose due to increase mucus production.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I get that. I get that from you, Mom. Thanks Mom.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And it's always this reaction. I have to spicy foods
and it will start to make my nose run sometimes
even my eyes water. And not necessarily for the hottest
of the hot either. It's just so when my body
reacts heartburn risk. You gotta be careful of that acid
reflux that could be your very spicy foods. Robin Berlucci,
(05:23):
our fearless leader here. She likes spice so much. She
likes it to give her I think it's the hiccups.
She'll eat something so spicy it gives her the hiccups.
I know we're broad, am all right? Sleep trouble. Eating
spicy food before bed can disrupt to sleep. I can
even irritate your throat sometimes a digestive system in addition
(05:46):
to the acid reflux. But there is some activity that
can cause a mood boost. So spicy food can trigger
the release of endorphins and dopamines. They make you feel happy,
and some people believe and sky tists believe that that
is one of the reasons why people crave hot foods.
You know, those heat seekers, those ones that go after
(06:06):
those really really hot.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Hot hot things.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Now, I'm not a fan of heat for heat sake.
I like flavorful heat, and I like it as an
additive to a food like crunch or texture would be
an additive. Heat can be an additive. If it over
does the entirety of the flavors, then to me, it's
you know, it's not so great burn risk. This is
(06:30):
what is on the other end of the dial, and
that is extremely spicy challenges. And you've seen this with
the one Chip Challenge and things like this where kids
will go and they'll eat these things, super hot peppers.
It can cause health risksesophageal damage and stuff like that.
And these kids would do it on dares or TikTok
(06:52):
challenge and trying to have these really hot things.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That are the heat.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Scale for cap sasan is Scoville units. So Scoville I
think it was Wilbur Scoville that came up with Scoville units.
And if you think about Jalapanio could be anywhere between
I don't know, two thousand and thirty five hundred Scoville units,
but some of these get up into the millions. Scotch
bonnet and these really hot hot ghost peppers and things
(07:20):
like that. They get, you know, hundreds of thousands of
Scoville units, and that stuff gets really really hard and
some kind at some point can start really destroying things
in your mouth. So something to think about. If that's
your jam that you know, this might be why you
like it, this might be why you don't like it.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Kevin Hart, comedian actor, closes his vegan restaurant change abruptly
and there's different thoughts as to why it might be.
And there's some other vegan restaurant closures as well within
the past year to think about too.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
You're listening to The Fork Report with Nil Sevedra on

pack of one day, one park tickets to the Disneyland Resort.
I'll be giving away tickets next Saturday on the FOURK
Report there on September twenty eighth, so join us there,
but throughout the day on KFI. Amy King, our friend
is going to be doing giveaways on her show wake
(09:17):
Up Call as well, so I'll be listening next week.
Kevin Hart hilarious guy, great actor, funny actor, great comedian.
A vegan, he committed to a vegan lifestyle plant based
like lifestyle some time ago, and he opened a chain
of vegan restaurants called Hearthouse.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So you know him.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
He's been in movies like Jumanji and tons of other ones.
That's just what comes to mind. But he decided to
open up these plant based fast food joints called Hearthouse,
and they had all sorts of vegan burgers and chicken sandwiches,
not real chicken, but chicken sandwiches, and they had shakes,
all plant based. Received mixed reviews. I think last time
(09:59):
I look, they were out of three point eight on Yelp,
which you know, sometimes it's because it's a famous name
and people just are jerks and they take a swipe
at it, and you know, oh, this is the worst
thing ever. When people say, oh, it's a tastes like
cardboard and stuff, I usually try to ignore that and
just find the middle ground.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But some people really loved it. But here's what.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Seems to be crazy about this is they just suddenly
closed all four of their restaurants in Los Angeles like boom,
no fanfare, nothing, just all of a sudden they were gone.
And this was after you know, they had a great start,
and there are people that celebrated, and that's pretty easy
in Hollywood. People get hyped up about something at the
(10:45):
beginning and that fizzles.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Odds.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
So now Harthouse, you know, is gone, and it's not
the only vegan place. Now, don't hit me up saying
other places closed to I get it. But there has
been in the last year a rash of vegan places closing,
and there's some different thoughts about that. A bunch of
other plant based restaurants have closed down two Karma, Baker
(11:08):
nix On Beverly, which was fantastic, Shojen I think has
one location last but one closed floor.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Vegan in Silver.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Lake, which was around for I don't know fifteen sixteen years,
is now shuttered. Veged Vegan, Dripberger, Soy Concha Bakery, and
so many more.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And when you break it.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Down and you think, well, what's the deal, it looks
like there might be a few things going on specifically
with Kevin Hartz, but also may play a part in
some of these other places vegan places, and so in
this particular case, they might have just grown too fast.
Heartthouse wanted open one hundred restaurants in just five years,
(11:53):
and that's a lot to do, especially in this economy.
Two in California, they just raised the minimum way and
I'm gonna be talking about this next segment too, and
kind of break down some of the stuff you've been
hearing from the governor that might not track.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
But the twenty dollars an.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Hour raise is great for workers, but it makes it incredible,
incredibly expensive to run. Now, now you add the vegan
aspect to that. Even though Harthouse and other vegan plant
based restaurants try and keep their prices low, vegan food
(12:32):
is still usually more expensive than regular fast food. That's
just the reality, especially if you want to make it
fresh and good. And the economy is not in a
great place. It's been kind of rough. People are watching
their wallets. You know, it may be easier to put
(12:52):
you know, a vegan dish together at home than it
would be to go into fast food. Also, you know,
when you're going through fast food, you're usually going through
highly processed things and patties to make burger patties and
the like. But here's something interesting. When here in La
we see this. A celebrity opens a restaurant and people
(13:15):
get all excited, then they lose interest, and so that
might have just been the thing. Everybody gets excited, then
it just becomes another business. It gets pretty sad because
there's people that work there, and you know, for all
intense purposes.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Kevin's the good guy, I.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Hope, And if you're looking for something like vegan fast food,
maybe you know, people aren't as focused on it as
they used to. Another reality when it comes to things
is the marketing. I don't know who did the marketing
for Hearthouse, but I thought it was pissed poor. I
thought the design of the building, the way it looked,
(13:54):
something about it was not inviting. I passed by it
quite a lot in Hollywood, and it wasn't inviting.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
It didn't have.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You know, there's a reason why fast food uses red
and yellow and these colors on us because they bring
us in. They tie us to that food. And I
know that you're going to want to use green and
all this green for vegan, but it there is psychology
to these things. And I thought it looked very plain
and it didn't look appetizing. Didn't welcome me into the
(14:23):
building anyway. So who knows what will happen. But that's
the story of Harthouse. Kevin Hart's California vegan restaurant. All right,
stick around, we'll get into those fast food wages, and
then McDonald's extends its five dollars meals meals.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
We'll talk about that coming up as well. So go nowhere.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
You're listening to the Fork Report with Nils of Adra
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Kind of our little sanctuary every Saturday from two to
five to get away from all the craziness of the
news and come together and celebrate food. You know, we
gave some tips and tricks about salad, the new salad
bars in your refrigerator that are all the craze on,
the ticks and the talks and all that stuff, and
how to make your own salad dressings very very easy
(15:07):
to do. And you know a lot of salad dressings
can be used as marinades as well, fish, seafood, even
you know, red meat, So keep that in mind when
you're putting that together as well. But you can go
back and listen to that on the iHeartRadio app on
our podcast, so check that out there. All right, fast
food wages in California, timinggin to talk about this whole
(15:30):
fast food wage situation goes back and forth.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I know it becomes political.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
It shouldn't, you know, And a lot of people it's
funny on this show, not this particular show, but on
the station.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You know. When I'm on with Handle and ask.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
A question or maybe push back on something, everybody thinks
they know who you are. It's like, oh, you're a
trumper or you're this and that. Listen, I will tell
you right now. Although I come from a very conservative background,
was much more conservative at one point. I am definitely
a logician. I am at heart. I believe life is logic,
and I focus on logic above emotions. I do my
(16:07):
best to do that and focus on case by case.
I vote for both Democrats and Republicans as I see
the need, and truly like people go, I'm an independent,
and then you go, well have you ever voted and
voted for both sides? And well, no, I do, truly
depending on who I think is right for the job
at the time too, at the time of the season
(16:28):
and that point we're in. So when I'm looking at something,
I'm not just trying to go left or right. I
really am not. And if you hear one thing or
the other, then you're listening with your bias, not mine.
So when this is to me a problem in the
math and the breakdown, and I don't think it solves
the problem. I think that it continues to put a
(16:50):
band aid on something that's just broken and needs to
be restructured. And that is how tips work in this country,
and the broken system here in California. It's just about,
especially in southern California, it's a horrible place to have
a business. It's a horrible place to run a restaurant
of any kind. That's the reality reality. So Governor Newsom
(17:11):
began bragging about how the fast food industry was still
growing under this this push, this force to bump up
the minimum wage four dollars to twenty dollars. He says
they're adding jobs every month this year, hitting a record
of seven hundred and fifty thousand plus jobs in July.
And that all sounds good. And I know, paying people
more is a great thing on paper, but so is
(17:35):
communism on paper. But when you look at it, not
everybody's buying it. There are experts out there that say
Newsome's not telling the whole story. That if you look
at the data economists that they actually use to balance
these things out and find out where the money is going.
(17:55):
Fast food jobs in California are down by about three
thousand January.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
That's a big dip.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Now, before this wage hike kicked in, we heard about
some businesses cutting jobs, even closing up shop, and we
continue to see this. We just talked about Kevin Hart
closing his vegan restaurant, and I would be wholly surprised
if the cost of wages didn't play a part of
(18:23):
that here in California. So, before that wage hike kicked in,
we heard about businesses. They were cutting jobs, cutting having
delivery people for pizza place, sull these things. They're worried
o out paying people that twenty dollars an hour. Here's
the thing, there's this expert John Logan who says it's
(18:44):
not as bad as some people predicted. He points out
that eleven thousand jobs were added since the new law started.
That's pretty good news for folks who supported the law.
But you go back and you look through this stuff.
It's like everybody wants to tell the story from their perspective,
and I really want to find the truth. It's not
all sunshine and rainbows. Some workers are getting their hours cut,
(19:08):
even if they're still employed, they're getting their hours cut.
Study says a whopping eighty nine percent of California fast
food workers have their hours reduced between April and May.
Eighty nine percent. And these numbers are not being shown
or talked about because you know, there's some outlets are
obviously I'm getting information, but it's it's not at the forefront.
(19:30):
And it's like, you can't complain because if you complain
about in this case a Democrat for California, if you
complain about newsom oh my god, you love Trump or something,
you're gonna make them win or nobody can look at
the information as it stands on its own, and you
know that's not okay, that's gonna break us all. So
(19:52):
when you look about these taxpayers and you look about
how it works, fast food workers are paying super low wages,
I get the state ends up footing a bill for
things like food stamps and medicaid.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's a problem too.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
So some say that we're kind of subsidizing these big
fast food companies because they end up cutting these these
people or cutting their amount of hours, and then we
end up having with medicaid or food stamps or what
have you. So to me, you're better off training people
to get better jobs and leaving these less appealing jobs
(20:28):
as just steps for younger people, maybe for older people
who want to make some folding money but don't want
to go full bore into the workforce. But if we
try and make them something they're not is where it
starts to break down. It's like using everything as a hammer.
You know, well, it's doing the job. No, eventually it
will break. Some workers already are asking for another raise
(20:50):
of about seventy cents, so twenty dollars seventy cents by
the end of next year or by next year rather
because they it's still not enough, because throwing money at
it is not the thing. Educating people to move on
into different whether it be trades or what have you,
is the thing to do. We still need to see
(21:11):
how this is going to shake out, and it is complicated.
I don't want to use reductionism to try and simplify it,
but there are some pretty obvious issues where we have
to look at it and not look at it as
a democratic or Republican issue, but a system issue, an
infrastructure issue of how things work in California. So we're
(21:34):
just going to have to see how this breaks out
Right now, it seems still like it's a problematic to
me anyways, So all right.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Stick around.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
McDonald's extends it's five dollars meal deal, and that may
be a good thing now, you know, maybe at least
people making that twenty dollars an hour could afford their
own food. You've been listening to The Fork Report. You
can always hear us live on KFIM sixty two to
five pm on Saturday and anytime on demand on the
(22:04):
iHeartRadio app pat Do you Do?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Thanks for hanging out today.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
We're together for three hours every Saturday, two to five,
just celebrating food, and I appreciate you hanging out with me.
And I hang out with Bill Handle every Monday through Friday.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
We have a good time. I appreciate all the love.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Since I started the show in January, I've got a
lot of really wonderful feedback from you folks, and it
really means a lot to me.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I don't take what I do lightly.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Having this opportunity to hang out with you, in the
fact that you bring me into your car, your homes,
and wherever you may be, does mean a lot to me.
So thanks for all the support Over the years, did
I win an award? Am I dying? What the hell
was my problem? Anyways, onto the show, shall we don't forget?
You've got Tiffany coming up, Tiffany Hobbs coming up at five,
and then you have at seven Unsolved with Steve Gregory,
(22:51):
and then you have clave Row with Before the Coast
and then Coast to Coast am So go nowhere. McDonald's
extends it's five dollars meal deal through the of the year.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
So that's exciting.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I told you, I told you that it wasn't going
to do anything if they just did it for too
short of a time. I wish they listened to me.
It just doesn't mean anything. You can't just go, hey,
we're gonna woo people. People are still ticked off and
frustrated with a cost of fast food right now. So awesome,
five dollars meal deal.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
They've been running it, they're keeping it. It's going to
go till the end of the year now, so we've
still got a couple of months here. But here's the deal.
You can get a McChicken sandwich, small fries, four chicken McNuggets,
and a small drink.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
All for just five bucks.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
If you're more of a burger person, you can swap
the McChicken for a mcdouble, which I do enjoy, for
just a dollar more. So that's not a bad deal
at all. As a matter of fact, that sounds kind
of tasty. So it's supposed to be just a summer thing,
but as we creep out of summer into fall, people
loved it so much.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, back by popular demand, they decided to keep it.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
So they heard all the folks complaining, but the price
is going up, the frustration in and they're given a
solid break for a little longer. So if you're into
using a McDonald's app, they've got even more things and
goodies for you, like free fries on Fridays through the
end of the year, and who doesn't love free fries? Right,
and get this, if you're in southern California, you can
(24:16):
snag two mcgriddles or a sausage biscuit for just three
ninety nine. Or if you're a coffee fan, any sized
ice coffee is part of that deal as well. So
they know that we're watching our wallets and they're going
to have to do this, right. That is where things
are going right now, Okay, a couple reminders. I reminded
you about Disneyland tickets. We're going to be giving away
tickets a four pack next Saturday, four pack, one day,
(24:40):
one park tickets to the Disneyland resort. And of course,
if you find it in your heart to want to
donate to a great cause, the Union Rescue Mission.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I'm so embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I thought I knew about the Union Rescue Mission here
in Los Angeles and the good work that they did,
and I knew they did good work, but I was
blown away meeting them, talking to them and connect with
them on this newest thing, which is over the Edge,
Amy King, from wake up call Monday through Friday, starting
at five and I are going over the edge of
(25:10):
the Hilton in Universal City right there by Universal Studios.
I mean you could literally watch us go over the
side that day. It is next Friday, or this coming Friday.
The twenty seventh is when we're doing it. They're doing
it on the twenty seventh to twenty eighth. So if
you want to donate one thousand dollars or you want
to raise thousand dollars, you can repel down the building too.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Now cool.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
So they'll do it on the two days. I will
do the morning sometime on Friday. Repelled down the side
of the building. It's twenty five stories, so roughly two
hundred and fifty feet. I imagine. It was crazy to
see that. And if you want to see a picture
of it behind me, the building behind me, go to
help just and the number one Help Just one dot org,
(25:53):
Help just one dot Org. You'll see either a button
on that front page that says the iHeartMedia Team, or
you can go to donations and teams and you'll see
the iHeartMedia Team And when you click on that, you'll
see a little icon and it's my face with the
building behind me. That was when I went down to
check it out with Amy, and I was like, holy crud.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
So listen.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
If you want to donate to me, great, If you
want to donate to Amy great, or just generically to
Patrick who heads it up for us, whatever it goes
to a great cause. The reason why it means so
much to me is learning about what they do, truly
do for the homeless in Los Angeles. This isn't the
bureaucratic garbage that we've come to know. You know, you've
heard my frustration, You've got mental disease, running rampant, and
(26:36):
things that really need focus. You've got our veterans out
on the street, which is a blemish on America. You've
got all these different things. I get all of that,
women and children on the streets. What I like about
the Union Rescue Mission, and the reason why they get
zero dollars from the government is because they are a
dry mission. That means if you go there for help,
(26:58):
you have to want help, which means means no drugs,
no alcohol, and that you have to want to learn
to do work and to be a part of your
progression back into being productive. And they have great bridge
housing and all of these things, but it comes at
the cost of desire and work, and that to me
(27:19):
is different than the handouts and all the money grabs
and all the garbage we're doing that is not working.
So just help one to me, says it all. Whatever
you have to give, we thank you for it. I
don't care if it's a dollar. They I'm not asking
you to do anything I am not doing. They are
now in my monthly rotation. Just so you know that
they are in my monthly rotation. Is part one of
(27:40):
my local charities because I believe in them that much,
and again, go to just help the number one. Just
help one dot org. Just help one dot org. Go
to the teams or when you see the iHeartMedia logo
a team, you can click on that and you'll see
my little picture of my stupid face, my stupid beard,
(28:01):
my stupid hat, standing in front of a very large building.
That's the Hilton. That's what we're going to repel down.
And I would love any donation, and thank you so much.
I just appreciate your consideration. And if you just want
to come and ag us on, I think the public's
allowed us to come down and maybe you'll see me
if you If you love me, you can come and
pray for me. If you hate me, you can sit
and hope something breaks. I hope they're metal cables. It's
(28:25):
a lot to hold up. I told h told everybody
I was going to dress up as fat Spider Man.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Maybe not a great idea.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
You're listening to The Fork Report with Nil Savedra on
demand from KFI AM six forty
Hey, it's Niel Savedre.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty the four Report
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
How do you do?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Happy Saturday to you? Oh man, excuse me?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
This month is flying by, Holy smokes, I can't believe it.
I'm just the is.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
We get into this part of the season and we
start sneaking into although a slow sneak this year into fall.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I just get excited when the weather finally changes and.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Halloween and Thanksgiving and of course Christmas or whatever you celebrate.
It is just a great time. Ad by Also, it
starts putting me in this really really fun, fun mood. AnyWho,
back to the show, Shall we spicy foods? What do
they do to your body?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I talked.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I was talking with Marla Teas from Fox eleven. We
were filling in for Gary and Shannon, and I was
telling her about there is some science behind having hot
liquids on hot days. If you go to other countries
and you visit very hot countries, you will learn that
these people deal with, you know, the hot temperatures and
everything on the daily right, so you can learn by
(01:15):
what they eat, drink and what they wear as to
how to deal with the heat, and really it comes
down to the way your body reacts to the hot
fluid and then you start to sweat. Of course, if
you're in that's if you're dry, If you're in hogh humidity,
it might not work the same in the same way,
(01:35):
in the same sense, but there's science behind that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Now, what about spicy foods.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It's really interesting because you'll find that in those same
hot areas, those hot climates, they eat a lot of
spicy food. Now, spicy food isn't just spicy or hot.
It's a punch of flavor and with that, with the
combination of the heat, it can affect your body in
all kinds of ways. So it can help you cool
(02:03):
down in one sense on a hot day, potentially giving
you a mood boost. As well, Spicy foods make you
more It may do more of an impact on your
body than you think. So while they can aid in
cooling you off and even help with weight loss a
little bit, they can also bring on heartburn or make
it hard to sleep. There are times, you know, we've
(02:25):
all experienced that where you've had spicy foods and they
keep you awake at night a little bit, or maybe
you don't have them anymore at night before that reason.
So if you love the heat, here is a quick
rundown of how spicy foods kind of play with your
body in their chemical compound and stuff the cooling effects.
So spicy foods can help you cool down because it
makes you sweat, which evaporates, which cools your skin. Increased
(02:49):
blood flow. Eating spicy food boosts your blood flow in circulation,
helping you feel refreshed, maybe even a little frisky, you
know what I'm saying. Feeling a little amorous, anxious.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
In't that beetlejuice? Doesn't he say that? One point?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm feeling a little light. He's got all these horns
popping out of him. I'm feeling a little anxious, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
All right?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Potential longevity longevity, Regular eating of spicy food might lower
your risk of dying early or earlier by about thirteen
to fourteen percent weight loss aid So, the main ingredient
in spicy foods coming from peppers and the like is
Capsaican cap Sacan is an oil and in spicy foods
(03:34):
that can slow down digestion make you feel fuller. Potentially
with that happening, help with weight control as well obesity risk.
Here's the other side, Eating lots of spicy food could
be linked to a higher risk of obesity depending on.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Your overall diet.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Well, the I love when these study of the study
of studies, not studios, these studies that always seem to
contradict each other.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
There a little bit heart health.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Spicy foods may improve heart health by boosting good cholesterol
or HDL, lowering the bad cholesterol LDL sweet tooth reduction.
This is an interesting one to me because of the
way that our body reacts to it. Spicy food might
make you less likely to crave sweets.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
After a meal.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Now, I'm trying to think in certain cultures with super
hot hot foods, if they have a whole lot of
sweets like deserty things after a meal. Sweating the heat
for spicy food, obviously we talked about that will cause
you to sweat tingling in the tongue. Your tongue and
lips may tingle because spicy compounds activate those nerve receptors
(04:45):
in your mouth, and that's why it starts to tingle,
and it, you know, is pretty intense. That's because of
those things running out. Spicy foods can cause a running
nose due to increase mucus production.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I get that. I get that from you, Mom. Thanks Mom.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And it's always this reaction. I have to spicy foods
and it will start to make my nose run sometimes
even my eyes water. And not necessarily for the hottest
of the hot either. It's just so when my body
reacts heartburn risk. You gotta be careful of that acid
reflux that could be your very spicy foods. Robin Berlucci,
(05:23):
our fearless leader here. She likes spice so much. She
likes it to give her I think it's the hiccups.
She'll eat something so spicy it gives her the hiccups.
I know we're broad, am all right? Sleep trouble. Eating
spicy food before bed can disrupt to sleep. I can
even irritate your throat sometimes a digestive system in addition
(05:46):
to the acid reflux. But there is some activity that
can cause a mood boost. So spicy food can trigger
the release of endorphins and dopamines. They make you feel happy,
and some people believe and sky tists believe that that
is one of the reasons why people crave hot foods.
You know, those heat seekers, those ones that go after
(06:06):
those really really hot.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Hot hot things.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Now, I'm not a fan of heat for heat sake.
I like flavorful heat, and I like it as an
additive to a food like crunch or texture would be
an additive. Heat can be an additive. If it over
does the entirety of the flavors, then to me, it's
you know, it's not so great burn risk. This is
(06:30):
what is on the other end of the dial, and
that is extremely spicy challenges. And you've seen this with
the one Chip Challenge and things like this where kids
will go and they'll eat these things, super hot peppers.
It can cause health risksesophageal damage and stuff like that.
And these kids would do it on dares or TikTok
(06:52):
challenge and trying to have these really hot things.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That are the heat.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Scale for cap sasan is Scoville units. So Scoville I
think it was Wilbur Scoville that came up with Scoville units.
And if you think about Jalapanio could be anywhere between
I don't know, two thousand and thirty five hundred Scoville units,
but some of these get up into the millions. Scotch
bonnet and these really hot hot ghost peppers and things
(07:20):
like that. They get, you know, hundreds of thousands of
Scoville units, and that stuff gets really really hard and
some kind at some point can start really destroying things
in your mouth. So something to think about. If that's
your jam that you know, this might be why you
like it, this might be why you don't like it.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Kevin Hart, comedian actor, closes his vegan restaurant change abruptly
and there's different thoughts as to why it might be.
And there's some other vegan restaurant closures as well within
the past year to think about too.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
You're listening to The Fork Report with Nil Sevedra on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Hey, everybody, it's the four Report, all Things Food, beverage

pack of one day, one park tickets to the Disneyland Resort.
I'll be giving away tickets next Saturday on the FOURK
Report there on September twenty eighth, so join us there,
but throughout the day on KFI. Amy King, our friend
is going to be doing giveaways on her show wake
(09:17):
Up Call as well, so I'll be listening next week.
Kevin Hart hilarious guy, great actor, funny actor, great comedian.
A vegan, he committed to a vegan lifestyle plant based
like lifestyle some time ago, and he opened a chain
of vegan restaurants called Hearthouse.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So you know him.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
He's been in movies like Jumanji and tons of other ones.
That's just what comes to mind. But he decided to
open up these plant based fast food joints called Hearthouse,
and they had all sorts of vegan burgers and chicken sandwiches,
not real chicken, but chicken sandwiches, and they had shakes,
all plant based. Received mixed reviews. I think last time
(09:59):
I look, they were out of three point eight on Yelp,
which you know, sometimes it's because it's a famous name
and people just are jerks and they take a swipe
at it, and you know, oh, this is the worst
thing ever. When people say, oh, it's a tastes like
cardboard and stuff, I usually try to ignore that and
just find the middle ground.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But some people really loved it. But here's what.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Seems to be crazy about this is they just suddenly
closed all four of their restaurants in Los Angeles like boom,
no fanfare, nothing, just all of a sudden they were gone.
And this was after you know, they had a great start,
and there are people that celebrated, and that's pretty easy
in Hollywood. People get hyped up about something at the
(10:45):
beginning and that fizzles.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Odds.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
So now Harthouse, you know, is gone, and it's not
the only vegan place. Now, don't hit me up saying
other places closed to I get it. But there has
been in the last year a rash of vegan places closing,
and there's some different thoughts about that. A bunch of
other plant based restaurants have closed down two Karma, Baker
(11:08):
nix On Beverly, which was fantastic, Shojen I think has
one location last but one closed floor.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Vegan in Silver.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Lake, which was around for I don't know fifteen sixteen years,
is now shuttered. Veged Vegan, Dripberger, Soy Concha Bakery, and
so many more.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And when you break it.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Down and you think, well, what's the deal, it looks
like there might be a few things going on specifically
with Kevin Hartz, but also may play a part in
some of these other places vegan places, and so in
this particular case, they might have just grown too fast.
Heartthouse wanted open one hundred restaurants in just five years,
(11:53):
and that's a lot to do, especially in this economy.
Two in California, they just raised the minimum way and
I'm gonna be talking about this next segment too, and
kind of break down some of the stuff you've been
hearing from the governor that might not track.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
But the twenty dollars an.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Hour raise is great for workers, but it makes it incredible,
incredibly expensive to run. Now, now you add the vegan
aspect to that. Even though Harthouse and other vegan plant
based restaurants try and keep their prices low, vegan food
(12:32):
is still usually more expensive than regular fast food. That's
just the reality, especially if you want to make it
fresh and good. And the economy is not in a
great place. It's been kind of rough. People are watching
their wallets. You know, it may be easier to put
(12:52):
you know, a vegan dish together at home than it
would be to go into fast food. Also, you know,
when you're going through fast food, you're usually going through
highly processed things and patties to make burger patties and
the like. But here's something interesting. When here in La
we see this. A celebrity opens a restaurant and people
(13:15):
get all excited, then they lose interest, and so that
might have just been the thing. Everybody gets excited, then
it just becomes another business. It gets pretty sad because
there's people that work there, and you know, for all
intense purposes.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Kevin's the good guy, I.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Hope, And if you're looking for something like vegan fast food,
maybe you know, people aren't as focused on it as
they used to. Another reality when it comes to things
is the marketing. I don't know who did the marketing
for Hearthouse, but I thought it was pissed poor. I
thought the design of the building, the way it looked,
(13:54):
something about it was not inviting. I passed by it
quite a lot in Hollywood, and it wasn't inviting.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
It didn't have.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You know, there's a reason why fast food uses red
and yellow and these colors on us because they bring
us in. They tie us to that food. And I
know that you're going to want to use green and
all this green for vegan, but it there is psychology
to these things. And I thought it looked very plain
and it didn't look appetizing. Didn't welcome me into the
(14:23):
building anyway. So who knows what will happen. But that's
the story of Harthouse. Kevin Hart's California vegan restaurant. All right,
stick around, we'll get into those fast food wages, and
then McDonald's extends its five dollars meals meals.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
We'll talk about that coming up as well. So go nowhere.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
You're listening to the Fork Report with Nils of Adra
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Kind of our little sanctuary every Saturday from two to
five to get away from all the craziness of the
news and come together and celebrate food. You know, we
gave some tips and tricks about salad, the new salad
bars in your refrigerator that are all the craze on,
the ticks and the talks and all that stuff, and
how to make your own salad dressings very very easy
(15:07):
to do. And you know a lot of salad dressings
can be used as marinades as well, fish, seafood, even
you know, red meat, So keep that in mind when
you're putting that together as well. But you can go
back and listen to that on the iHeartRadio app on
our podcast, so check that out there. All right, fast
food wages in California, timinggin to talk about this whole
(15:30):
fast food wage situation goes back and forth.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I know it becomes political.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
It shouldn't, you know, And a lot of people it's
funny on this show, not this particular show, but on
the station.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You know. When I'm on with Handle and ask.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
A question or maybe push back on something, everybody thinks
they know who you are. It's like, oh, you're a
trumper or you're this and that. Listen, I will tell
you right now. Although I come from a very conservative background,
was much more conservative at one point. I am definitely
a logician. I am at heart. I believe life is logic,
and I focus on logic above emotions. I do my
(16:07):
best to do that and focus on case by case.
I vote for both Democrats and Republicans as I see
the need, and truly like people go, I'm an independent,
and then you go, well have you ever voted and
voted for both sides? And well, no, I do, truly
depending on who I think is right for the job
at the time too, at the time of the season
(16:28):
and that point we're in. So when I'm looking at something,
I'm not just trying to go left or right. I
really am not. And if you hear one thing or
the other, then you're listening with your bias, not mine.
So when this is to me a problem in the
math and the breakdown, and I don't think it solves
the problem. I think that it continues to put a
(16:50):
band aid on something that's just broken and needs to
be restructured. And that is how tips work in this country,
and the broken system here in California. It's just about,
especially in southern California, it's a horrible place to have
a business. It's a horrible place to run a restaurant
of any kind. That's the reality reality. So Governor Newsom
(17:11):
began bragging about how the fast food industry was still
growing under this this push, this force to bump up
the minimum wage four dollars to twenty dollars. He says
they're adding jobs every month this year, hitting a record
of seven hundred and fifty thousand plus jobs in July.
And that all sounds good. And I know, paying people
more is a great thing on paper, but so is
(17:35):
communism on paper. But when you look at it, not
everybody's buying it. There are experts out there that say
Newsome's not telling the whole story. That if you look
at the data economists that they actually use to balance
these things out and find out where the money is going.
(17:55):
Fast food jobs in California are down by about three
thousand January.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
That's a big dip.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Now, before this wage hike kicked in, we heard about
some businesses cutting jobs, even closing up shop, and we
continue to see this. We just talked about Kevin Hart
closing his vegan restaurant, and I would be wholly surprised
if the cost of wages didn't play a part of
(18:23):
that here in California. So, before that wage hike kicked in,
we heard about businesses. They were cutting jobs, cutting having
delivery people for pizza place, sull these things. They're worried
o out paying people that twenty dollars an hour. Here's
the thing, there's this expert John Logan who says it's
(18:44):
not as bad as some people predicted. He points out
that eleven thousand jobs were added since the new law started.
That's pretty good news for folks who supported the law.
But you go back and you look through this stuff.
It's like everybody wants to tell the story from their perspective,
and I really want to find the truth. It's not
all sunshine and rainbows. Some workers are getting their hours cut,
(19:08):
even if they're still employed, they're getting their hours cut.
Study says a whopping eighty nine percent of California fast
food workers have their hours reduced between April and May.
Eighty nine percent. And these numbers are not being shown
or talked about because you know, there's some outlets are
obviously I'm getting information, but it's it's not at the forefront.
(19:30):
And it's like, you can't complain because if you complain
about in this case a Democrat for California, if you
complain about newsom oh my god, you love Trump or something,
you're gonna make them win or nobody can look at
the information as it stands on its own, and you
know that's not okay, that's gonna break us all. So
(19:52):
when you look about these taxpayers and you look about
how it works, fast food workers are paying super low wages,
I get the state ends up footing a bill for
things like food stamps and medicaid.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's a problem too.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
So some say that we're kind of subsidizing these big
fast food companies because they end up cutting these these
people or cutting their amount of hours, and then we
end up having with medicaid or food stamps or what
have you. So to me, you're better off training people
to get better jobs and leaving these less appealing jobs
(20:28):
as just steps for younger people, maybe for older people
who want to make some folding money but don't want
to go full bore into the workforce. But if we
try and make them something they're not is where it
starts to break down. It's like using everything as a hammer.
You know, well, it's doing the job. No, eventually it
will break. Some workers already are asking for another raise
(20:50):
of about seventy cents, so twenty dollars seventy cents by
the end of next year or by next year rather
because they it's still not enough, because throwing money at
it is not the thing. Educating people to move on
into different whether it be trades or what have you,
is the thing to do. We still need to see
(21:11):
how this is going to shake out, and it is complicated.
I don't want to use reductionism to try and simplify it,
but there are some pretty obvious issues where we have
to look at it and not look at it as
a democratic or Republican issue, but a system issue, an
infrastructure issue of how things work in California. So we're
(21:34):
just going to have to see how this breaks out
Right now, it seems still like it's a problematic to
me anyways, So all right.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Stick around.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
McDonald's extends it's five dollars meal deal, and that may
be a good thing now, you know, maybe at least
people making that twenty dollars an hour could afford their
own food. You've been listening to The Fork Report. You
can always hear us live on KFIM sixty two to
five pm on Saturday and anytime on demand on the
(22:04):
iHeartRadio app pat Do you Do?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Thanks for hanging out today.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
We're together for three hours every Saturday, two to five,
just celebrating food, and I appreciate you hanging out with me.
And I hang out with Bill Handle every Monday through Friday.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
We have a good time. I appreciate all the love.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Since I started the show in January, I've got a
lot of really wonderful feedback from you folks, and it
really means a lot to me.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I don't take what I do lightly.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Having this opportunity to hang out with you, in the
fact that you bring me into your car, your homes,
and wherever you may be, does mean a lot to me.
So thanks for all the support Over the years, did
I win an award? Am I dying? What the hell
was my problem? Anyways, onto the show, shall we don't forget?
You've got Tiffany coming up, Tiffany Hobbs coming up at five,
and then you have at seven Unsolved with Steve Gregory,
(22:51):
and then you have clave Row with Before the Coast
and then Coast to Coast am So go nowhere. McDonald's
extends it's five dollars meal deal through the of the year.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
So that's exciting.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I told you, I told you that it wasn't going
to do anything if they just did it for too
short of a time. I wish they listened to me.
It just doesn't mean anything. You can't just go, hey,
we're gonna woo people. People are still ticked off and
frustrated with a cost of fast food right now. So awesome,
five dollars meal deal.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
They've been running it, they're keeping it. It's going to
go till the end of the year now, so we've
still got a couple of months here. But here's the deal.
You can get a McChicken sandwich, small fries, four chicken McNuggets,
and a small drink.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
All for just five bucks.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
If you're more of a burger person, you can swap
the McChicken for a mcdouble, which I do enjoy, for
just a dollar more. So that's not a bad deal
at all. As a matter of fact, that sounds kind
of tasty. So it's supposed to be just a summer thing,
but as we creep out of summer into fall, people
loved it so much.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, back by popular demand, they decided to keep it.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
So they heard all the folks complaining, but the price
is going up, the frustration in and they're given a
solid break for a little longer. So if you're into
using a McDonald's app, they've got even more things and
goodies for you, like free fries on Fridays through the
end of the year, and who doesn't love free fries? Right,
and get this, if you're in southern California, you can
(24:16):
snag two mcgriddles or a sausage biscuit for just three
ninety nine. Or if you're a coffee fan, any sized
ice coffee is part of that deal as well. So
they know that we're watching our wallets and they're going
to have to do this, right. That is where things
are going right now, Okay, a couple reminders. I reminded
you about Disneyland tickets. We're going to be giving away
tickets a four pack next Saturday, four pack, one day,
(24:40):
one park tickets to the Disneyland resort. And of course,
if you find it in your heart to want to
donate to a great cause, the Union Rescue Mission.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I'm so embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I thought I knew about the Union Rescue Mission here
in Los Angeles and the good work that they did,
and I knew they did good work, but I was
blown away meeting them, talking to them and connect with
them on this newest thing, which is over the Edge,
Amy King, from wake up call Monday through Friday, starting
at five and I are going over the edge of
(25:10):
the Hilton in Universal City right there by Universal Studios.
I mean you could literally watch us go over the
side that day. It is next Friday, or this coming Friday.
The twenty seventh is when we're doing it. They're doing
it on the twenty seventh to twenty eighth. So if
you want to donate one thousand dollars or you want
to raise thousand dollars, you can repel down the building too.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Now cool.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
So they'll do it on the two days. I will
do the morning sometime on Friday. Repelled down the side
of the building. It's twenty five stories, so roughly two
hundred and fifty feet. I imagine. It was crazy to
see that. And if you want to see a picture
of it behind me, the building behind me, go to
help just and the number one Help Just one dot org,
(25:53):
Help just one dot Org. You'll see either a button
on that front page that says the iHeartMedia Team, or
you can go to donations and teams and you'll see
the iHeartMedia Team And when you click on that, you'll
see a little icon and it's my face with the
building behind me. That was when I went down to
check it out with Amy, and I was like, holy crud.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
So listen.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
If you want to donate to me, great, If you
want to donate to Amy great, or just generically to
Patrick who heads it up for us, whatever it goes
to a great cause. The reason why it means so
much to me is learning about what they do, truly
do for the homeless in Los Angeles. This isn't the
bureaucratic garbage that we've come to know. You know, you've
heard my frustration, You've got mental disease, running rampant, and
(26:36):
things that really need focus. You've got our veterans out
on the street, which is a blemish on America. You've
got all these different things. I get all of that,
women and children on the streets. What I like about
the Union Rescue Mission, and the reason why they get
zero dollars from the government is because they are a
dry mission. That means if you go there for help,
(26:58):
you have to want help, which means means no drugs,
no alcohol, and that you have to want to learn
to do work and to be a part of your
progression back into being productive. And they have great bridge
housing and all of these things, but it comes at
the cost of desire and work, and that to me
(27:19):
is different than the handouts and all the money grabs
and all the garbage we're doing that is not working.
So just help one to me, says it all. Whatever
you have to give, we thank you for it. I
don't care if it's a dollar. They I'm not asking
you to do anything I am not doing. They are
now in my monthly rotation. Just so you know that
they are in my monthly rotation. Is part one of
(27:40):
my local charities because I believe in them that much,
and again, go to just help the number one. Just
help one dot org. Just help one dot org. Go
to the teams or when you see the iHeartMedia logo
a team, you can click on that and you'll see
my little picture of my stupid face, my stupid beard,
(28:01):
my stupid hat, standing in front of a very large building.
That's the Hilton. That's what we're going to repel down.
And I would love any donation, and thank you so much.
I just appreciate your consideration. And if you just want
to come and ag us on, I think the public's
allowed us to come down and maybe you'll see me
if you If you love me, you can come and
pray for me. If you hate me, you can sit
and hope something breaks. I hope they're metal cables. It's
(28:25):
a lot to hold up. I told h told everybody
I was going to dress up as fat Spider Man.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Maybe not a great idea.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
