Are those names celebs are giving their kids now? Yes, but also they're the ingredients in weird celebrity sandwiches. This is a hot dog is a sandwich. Ketchup is a smoothie. Yeah, I put ice in my cereal, so what? That makes no sense. Hot dog is a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich. Welcome to our podcast, A Hot Dog is a sandwich, the show we break down the world's biggest food debates. I'm your host, Josh Apple Martin. I'm Nicole Pilot Inspector in ID. Who is Pilot Inspector? I bel who that guy in a.. My name is Earl? Oh, Jason Lee? I think he named his kid. Professional skateboarder Jason Lee. I think he named his kid pilot inspector. That's pretty cool. How do I know that? Yes. I did. Wow. You wanna know how I know that? VH one. VH one is what led the base for Josh and I's knowledge. I would like to. Do you know Frank Zappa's kids' names? Of course I do. There's Moonbeam. Moon Unit. Moon Unit. And Oh, don't tell me it's Dweezel. Dweezel. Dweezel and Moon yet. Why were we watching the same VH one shows? We were it was the I Love the Nineties, I Love the Eighties, Hal Sparks, Michael Ian Black. I've never seen house parts love outside of That We are losing ancient texts 'cause that's where we learned about the the world. The world. The culture. I learned about everything from the age one talking head shows. I swear that's not even a joke. I really did. I know uh I got a question right on uh it was like a trivia the other day. It was um it was uh it was about Jeff Galilee. I don't know who that is. Jeff Galileo is the one who he was uh uh uh Tanya Harding's partner that hired the people. Yeah, with the poll. Yeah, and they did a lot of Tanya Harding stuff on VH One. They really did. But that we're not talking about Tanya Harding unless ooh, did Tanya Harding have a sandwich that she made? I don't know, but she did do other stuff. Certainly did. Watch VH one about it. Wait, what did she Oh, did she make a Yeah. Oh my god. Oh my god. I'm not gonna laptop. I'm not gonna I'm gonna No, you go pretty incognito mode on the phone. Uh what we're gonna do is we're gonna taste test some weird celebrity sandwiches because there are some We're celebrity sandwiches. Celebs, they're just like us. Not really. They like weird stuff. I think so. Well no. Let's let's break this down. My We we get to inter interact with a lot of celebrities on the show Last Meals, mostly. Correct. Would you consider yourself a celebrity? I don't know. What can I tell you the honest truth is that um I feel like as uh maybe it's the f the former slash current journalist in me. But I feel like I am a direct observer to myself. Changing with the monicum of celebrity that I've had. I feel like I could almost write like a field piece. You're the John Howard of celebrity interviews. Like you're not a celebrity per se, but you're saying you're he's not a chef per se, but he is A purveyor of good food. Yeah, yeah. Like you're not a celebrity per se, you're a purveyor of asking celebrities great questions. You know what's an interesting thing though about um like but like Sean Evans is like a celebrity now. You know what I mean? Sure. Here's the interesting thing about celebrity though is it It compounds over time. Say more. So all of the things that I remember the first time I started getting recognized was like uh probably summer twenty twenty one. Right after the pandemic, world had just opened up a little bit. You know, it's like, Well, but like Those people that recognized me back then. Even if they stopped watching the content, which I think they did because a lot of it was on Snapchat back then. But anyways, those people still know who you are. Right. There's like if let's look at like Mythical Kitchen YouTube, right? There's a certain amount of churn. We acquire new subscribers, other people fall off, et cetera, et cetera. But all of those subscribers that fell off would still recognize you in the street. Sure, okay. So now like I'm getting recognized more and more and it's like affecting the way that I interact with the world more and more in a certain way. Of there's times where I you know, if I'm going to a friend's wedding. I have to now adjust for the fact that cousins are and then I've like learned lessons a hard way. Mm-hmm. Like, um at Deep's wedding. I spent like an hour and a half Away from deep and my wife and my best friends talking to his cousins who were fans. Yeah. And then suddenly I'm not giving my friend the attention that he deserves. So now there's like things you have to learn. You know, within that. I gotta recognize it at Ikea today. In the bathroom. A pleasant experience. Yeah, we were washing our hands. Um That was very insightful. Do you think, Nicole, check out this. Check this segue out. Check the segue. Check this out. Do you think that you getting recognized has made you make weirder sandwiches? No, I've always been a little freak. I've always had a I've been a little bit of a weirdo. Okay, I think we should start with the OG weird sandwich, which is the Elvis. The Elvis. This is this is the uh weird celebrity sandwich that I think all weird celebrity sandwiches are are like judged from. Correct. This is the main one. And then there's the Elvis and then he had Let's go. What's the other one? What's the other was like I think it was Elvis ate this on a plane. It was like There's jelly on it as well. That looks so freaking good. There's jelly as well. It was called like a the miners loaf or something in the road? So it is called the Fool's Gold Sandwich. And it is a whole loaf of bread hollowed out with peanut butter, jelly and a pack of bacon. And it is at a restaurant in I actually have it in my research dog. In Denver, Colorado called made by the Colorado Colorado Mine Company restaurant. And he flew on a plane and I believe ordered twenty two of them. Him and his friends and they ate them and drink champagne on his private jet? I'm partyed. Crazy, man. Right. So this sandwich that Josh and I are eating or kno is known as the Elvis. It's a peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwich on toasted white bread. This is a weird sandwich. Do you think I don't know that I've ever had Just as straight up Elvis. Me either. I've like had Elvisy things. We put a recipe for Elvis bread pudding in our cookbook. It just makes sense. Bacon makes sense here. Bacon is a condiment. I like peanut butter and meat. More people need to be putting more peanut butter on more meat. You mean meat butter? No, I don't mean meatnut butter. Those rose. Oh, like that. I think it's need honey. With the banana and the bacon. So good. It works together, Pamber. This is a great sandwich. So dreamy. Oh, are you an Elvis fan growing up? Were you an Elvis fan growing up? Couldn't name a song. That's not true. Hound. There we go. Um Blue Hawaii? Mm-hmm. I think that was a movie he was in as well. Yeah, I'm trying to name movies. Jailhouse Rock? So I went to Memphis. For a wedding and I got tickets to go see Elvis's house. Looks like a regular house on like foothill in sunset, babe. It was literally there and I'm like I've literally been to a house that looks exactly like this for like a long time. Is this like childhood house or is this Graceland? This is Graceland. Oh wow. Yeah. It was really cool though. Like he had like this grottoy style, like bottom part of his house and he had these like beautiful like Faberger like tables and stuff and I'm like, this guy's definitely living like the average version shoe in Los Angeles in the 60s. It was really funny. Were your parents really big into Elvis? Um, not really. They weren't they weren't those kinds of immigrants. They didn't really understand the Elvis My mom did tell me though one time they did show an Elvis movie. In Iran and she went with her brother and she watched it like three times. When she was a kid though. But it never like It never manifested when she was older. What a cool snapshot into history, though. Your mom watching an Elvis movie in pre revolutionary run. I know, right? Damn. Mm. I feel like my dad should have been an Elvis guy. But he wasn't? He wasn't an anything guy. He had no passions. He died without a passion. Your dad? No. What about you guys? He wasn't power about you guys? And then he definitely was passionate. Sure, fair point. You just got school. Okay, I I mean I'd rank this sandwich pretty high. Is it better than a peanut butter and banana sandwich? Does adding the bacon make it better? If the bacon was a thick cut bacon from the deli of someone who really, really loved their craft, maybe. Not in this Bite. Yeah. I think that yeah, I do love the bacon in it though. But it's not giving me what I need. You know what I mean? I would just put a handful of salt on it. If the bacon, like I love the warmth of the bacon. Sure. Like slightly melting the peanut butter, making them bananas. You get a you get a banana slightly warmed and it's like a little bit fudgier, more pliable. It kinda makes me wanna gag when you talk about the banana like that. The hot peanut butter I love. The hot banana Sh smack my. Not hot banana smackma. Slightly warm banana smackma. Well that's what happens with banana s magma when it gets warm. It gets all like weird and tacky and like it's bad. No, I love it. I don't love it. I get this like a solid It's a good start. It's like an eight. Like an eight flat. I'm gonna give it a seven. Seven? That's reasonable. I'm a reasonable woman, dude. It's a batter sandwich? Tell me. I don't know if it's a celebrity thing. Go ahead. I'm eating too much. I'm hungry. I skipped lunch 'cause Me too. I would take you actually, that's not true. What did you get from my gear? I got the meatballs, Josh. With a side of Lingumberry jam, some peas, and mashed taters. The meatballs in Ikea are really bad. I I don't I like them. They're like sponges. They're like sp I mean, yeah, it's it's uh sponges, I think. They're bad in the same way that like a banquet rib TV dinner is bad. We're like, Yeah, I'll still suck down this like mashed pork product and sugary barbecue sauce. Sure. Mm-hmm. But like they're not they're just frozen meatballs. I've like never been there. You know, when in never been there? I've never like Eaten that in Ikea. I was like when in Sweden eat a Swedish meatball. Sure, but you can also get Gravlocks. I didn't want Grobloc. I'm going Ike and I'm ripping Grablocks. It did look really good though, the Grablocks. Um Uh uh crunchy peanut butter, mayonnaise and banana. You have told me about that's a very southern. Can we make one? Not right now, but yeah. Why? I don't have crunchy peanut butter, I have smooth peanut pan. We have crunchy in the in the kitchen. We do? I'm not doing that. I want it. Okay. Well now we have Come on. I want a sandwich. We have three more sandwiches to choose from. Do you want to stay in the world of peanut butter or do you want to stay in the world of musicians? Peanut butter. Okay, so go ahead and hand me that pita, right? Here's the thing about peanut butter. Nobody knew what you're supposed to do with it, because it's new it's new. It wasn't invented for the- Washington Carver, Jr.? Carver Washington Jr. Who invented peanut butter? Uh George Washington Carver. Anything of Booker T Washington? And George Washington Carver? I don't know. I thought his name was Washington Carver. Washington Irving? No, no, no. George Washington Carver. George Washington Carver. He invented. That's what we learned. That's like what we learn in school. He he did so, so so much, um, especially for black sharecroppers and then agricultur science in general. And like he didn't like invent peanut butter he'd he did a lot of Josh, that's gonna get taken out of context and then next thing you know, you're gonna be on a weird website. What? For saying he didn't invent peanut butter. Oh God, oh God. It's just like Their peanuts have existed for a while, but people figured out how to mash 'em. Okay. People figured out how to mash 'em. So this is by Beloved actor. Jeff Daniels and he says that he likes a pita bread with a thick layer, a quarter inch of creamy peanut butter, crushed cheddar, and sour cream ruffled potato chips. And it just look sweet. Baby raise barbecue sauce all folded over. Name your favorite Jeff Daniels roll on three. One, two, old white guy that knows better than the young liberal kids in the newsroom. I was gonna say Dumb and Dumber. Oh because Dumb and Dumber is the only movie that deserves four stars on Letterboxd. I I love a I love a Sorkin dialogue. Oh I'd I'd be lying if I said I didn't love a Sorkin dialog. What is he in? Wag the dog or whatever? What movie is he in? Oh, Jeff Daniels? Where he plays that trope. Well uh uh it's the show called The Newsroom. The show that was like you ever see though there's a clip that goes viral like every once in a while? Where Jeff Daniels is like on stage, he's doing a panel. And someone asked him like why is America the greatest country on earth? He's like, we rank seventeenth in literacy, one hundred and twenty-fourth in uh in like in fancy, right? Blah blah blah. Uh-huh. God damn it, we used to be a country. We used to be a country that stood up for morals. We used to be a country and now we have what? Pronouns. He doesn't say that, but that's sort of. That's the vibe that people post that under. Ending up at a n Okay, here. I thought the new the newsroom was a fine show. It was a fine show. Not not as good as the West Wing, but I wish it was less peanut butter, but the flavors are good. I like this a lot more than I thought it would. Jeff Daniels, you're a little freak. Yeah, you're a real franky diggy. The barbecue sauce. It's just jelly. Exactly. Barbecue sauce is a jelly. It's a it's a savory spiced tomato jelly. Absolutely. And it's nice. It's really good. Wait, you take barbecue sauce and peanut butter. Dare I say I want more barbecue sauce? I want peanut butter on a barbecue Burger now. Cold pork sandwich with a smear of peanut butter? I did that. Yeah, right. The chips are really pleasant. The chips are nice, innit? Maybe not a pita. Maybe a pimpita was something. I end up making a lot of pita sandwiches just out of the fact that I have a lot of leftover pita, mostly because I'm ordering from one of our many wonderful Middle Eastern uh rotisserie chicken spots. And but it's not even the I don't even think of that. I'm ripping birdies, you know. I love birdies. Um birdies next to you? Yeah, but they deliver. really close to my house. Sorry, you don't need to know that. But either way. I'm getting a bunch of left um a bunch of extra pitas 'cause they think I'm ordering for like, you know A family of eight. So really I'm taking down a whole chicken myself? And so I end up making a lot of coincidental pita sandwiches. A lot of like breakfast burritos inside of a pita. Delicious. Peanut butter, banana wrapped in a pita. That was a really, really, really surprisingly delicious sandwich. Jeff Daniels, you're on to something. Also loved you and Dumb and Dumber. I just want to hang out with you and ask you all about that role. Did you really do all those poopy noises? And thumb number? That's my favorite part. You see inquisitive. I'm trying to think about what would drive a man to make something like this. Are heroes born or are they made? What other damage did we got? We have two more. Now Do you want to eat Harry Styles' sandwiches? I'll give this a Oh. I'll give that a I'll give that a surprising eight. I'll give it a flat eight, too. Flat eight. As good as an Elvis. It has more dimension than the Elvis. You know what I don't like? Toasted bread. Me too. I didn't like the way that That was like rigid. There's something about spring that just feels like a reset.

Yeah. Yeah. Actually. Yeah. It's my only l that's my only lens into music now. It's his honest. It's when I'm like at a mall, which is very infrequent. Or When I'm in the gym and I don't have my headphones in. Which is for about two minutes while I'm naked. Yeah, and they're playing like a C Trinata remix of like Steel DM. It's so much little dragon. Oh, well that's good. We like little dragon. No my ex like little dragon a lot. My ex like little dragon a lot. Really? I thought you like Well what are we if not a culmination of everyone we've ever known. You know what I mean? I don't know. I'm so sorry you don't like Little Dragon anymore. I love little dragons. She took me to see them live at the Santa Barbara Bowl and we got in like a weird fight. I'm so sorry. Okay, there's a reason you guys aren't together anymore, and she's probably really happy doing whatever she's doing. Hope so. You wanna hand me that sandwich, dude? Which one? That one. This is Harry Style's sandwich? This is Harry Styles' sandwich. What do we know about Harry Styles's personal life and predelections? Um we don't talk about his personal life and predelections that much because some people say that he's queer baiting all the time. I think in the words of Gian Marco Saresi It's not the worm's fault. What kind of fish he hooks. So you're saying he's attracted to ev attracted to everybody? Well I'm saying the hair style is out there, it doesn't matter. He's he's baby. He's just bait. He's bait. Whatever he catches with the bait. That's not his fault. That's not his fault. So this sandwich is a buttered white bread branston pickle and cheddar cheese sandwich. We got Branston pickle in here? Hell yeah, Branston pickle rules. I've always wanted to try Branston Pickle. I've no idea what it tastes like. I'm very, very, very, very excited. I'm curious the history of because use the term It's funny, like The term pickle with no S. Yeah, like you want a pickle. No. Inside a pickle. You wanna yeah, but like or or like a mango pickle, right? Right. Um is a pickled item. Now this sandwich is strange because we're in the United States of America. I feel like the sandwich is not that strange in like the UK. Yeah. This seems very British. And now Harry Styles is British. Mmm. Dude. I could eat that. Tell me. This tastes like Bry Brody. What's that? Then you put the cheese. And then you toast it, you brie it. That's the best Bry Brodie. Bry means like barbecue. Mm-hmm. It tastes like a bribery, though. They also like a a sort of like sweet, source Approche. Then maybe some chili sauce. Um oh there's Brandson Pickball's wonderful. We need Do we have American re Our relish sucks, dude. Yeah, ketchup and relish are kind of our pickle slash chutney and I'm not too jazzed about that. We need to figure out our relish situation. It's not it's not great. I don't know anyone who's very passionate about relish. I could be very passionate about ketchup. I love ketchup. It's a wonderful condiment. I'm just returned. I I catch up. All the time. I um I really enjoy it. So the vegetables in here, relish. Nobody who's loving relish. Our relish, just normal ass green, sweet. I like I like bright green relish sometimes. I like it. I like sweet relish. I think it does the job. What job? Like would you ever put relish on a sandwich? Maybe like a cold cut sandwich. Like a warm cold cut sandwich. Yeah. No, you never put you never put relish on a warm cold cut sand. Like if it's like if it's like a Rubin situation, yeah. No, you're putting no no, you're putting the relish as a small ingredient in the Russian dressing. No, I'm not. You're putting relish straight on a Ruben? Maybe I am. You wanna lock me up because Maybe or are you? Yeah. I can see it happening and I've done it before. You're the best film I've ever had in my life. So the veggies in there are carrots, sweet, onions, and cauliflower. What? The pickled vegetables in there. Carrot. Swed, which is a type of pars which is a parsnip. Oh. Onions and cauliflower. That's a what's what's why is it so brown? Well that's like the the pickling sauce. Sure, but what is it? Just like corn syrup and and and and molasses and I I really do love The panoply of dark British spreadable pastes. Barley malt, vinegar, sugar, tomato puree, apple pulp, date paste, and a blend of spices. That's exactly what I want. Did this stuff exist before The colonization of India? Because I'm thinking of like India has a a wonderful um you get chili pickle, you get mango pickle. All this stuff, not just like Acha. But like really dense like oil and salt pickles. They're awesome. The pickle was based on the Indian pickles and chutneys that Anglo Indi had liked during the British Raj. It was first made in the Cross and Blackwell factory at Branston, Stratfordshire in nineteen twenty two. That's exactly what it tastes like. Like this literary taste like A well salted, preserved Indian pickle, but like This kind of like trekly sweet British quality joke. Sure, yeah. Trickle is a great word to describe it. It's that really nice punch of cooked vinegar too, which I always really appreciate. I've always been a cooked vinegar fan. Dude and Brits love cooked vinegar. It's a great flavor. I agree. This is like really Such a wonderful sandwich. I I wanna bring back like Three four ingredient. Sandwiches like they do in Britain? Yeah. You need a tea sandwich, dude? I love cut off spreadable cream cheese with some sort of um like herb and and cucumber. Wonderful. The Commonwealth countries do tea sandwiches very, very well. Coronation chicken. I don't want like Butter, bovel, and onion. Yeah. Listen, more spreadable brown pastes twenty twenty six. Hundred percent. I love Vegemite and Marmite, I love all that stuff. Bovril I would love to eat some bovil with the spoon. Probably gotta get my iron levels checked 'cause of that. Yeah, more brown con more brown condiments. That's what we're doing. The guy does like hundred years of sandwiches or whatever. Yes, I actually used his inspiration for Jeff Daniels sandwich. Oh really? Yeah, yes, he's gonna be able to like you'll go back through cookbooks and it'll be like Special pimento surprise sandwich. The ingredients are just like Mayonnaise, pimento, and black pepper. Spread it on a sandwich. Yeah, and that's like you could write a cookbook like that. Um I would make sales. I love I love those bullshit sandwiches. They're so great. We could probably make a hundred a couple of hundred bucks. I unrip this last sandwich was this. This is Will Smith. This is Will Farrell's sandwich. Now he answered the question on Stephen Colbert's show, What's in a Sandwich, with this Answer. Mayo on rye bread with salami and grapefruit. What? Now this one, some people are like, this is a joke. Do you think it's a joke or do you think so it's one of the funniest people in the world. I am a World Sarah fan. This seems like one of those weird nineteen thirties era things. Right. It does. Where like they just hey, maybe grapefruits were new and they didn't know what uh what to do with them. And he says in the video Steven Colbert goes, Toasted not he goes, Doesn't matter. And I think That's part of the allure of this interest you've been eating a lot of sandwiches. Colours. Colours are beautiful. The pink from the salami. Different kind of pink from the grapefruit. The sheen of mayonnaise and the toasted rye. How are we? Is it bad? Than I ever could've imagined. It's bad. In such an upsetting way. Oh so bad I was so ready to defend There is Some sort of level of like noxious caustic chemical that is being created by the intersection. I didn't know what this was at first. I thought it was just tomato and I was pretty excited. And it wouldn't be weird sandwiches. And then upon And then upon learning that it was grapefruit, in my head, I think I sought to justify it. To say well what is grapefruit if not. tomato esque fruit that you could put on here and no, it is mortifying. That's really bad. It's really, really bad. So it it's the bitterness of the grapefruit that matches with the bitterness of the rye caraway flavor. That's exactly it's a double bitter punch. And then even salami, if you think about it, has this kind of like moldy bitterness to it in a way. It's more the salon when the salami comes in, it's like the fatty texture mixing with the the juiciness of the grapefruit is like chocolate dip strawberries. That's like a bitter grapefruit, too. That's like It's like chocolate dip strawberries, how like strawberries are like juicy and intense and like wet, and then the chocolate is like waxy and fatty. I Hated that. So it's definitely a joke. I was thinking like I was like, oh it's like a charcuterie board, like yaddy la la la. Ewfair. I was just talking about mayonnaise, bananas, and peanut butter that's really good. Like there the I there's a shot. That this is earnest, something weird. Will Farrell. Someone's dad did once, you know what I mean? I loved you. And And step brothers I hate you right now. This is wrong on so many levels. Me too, I mean. You know a movie I just sat down and watched in full by myself a couple of weeks ago? Kicking and screaming. How was it? Never seen it. I know of it, but I never saw. I just told you I didn't see it and then you quote it? I thought maybe you'd go, Oh yeah, oh You're so right. Now that you said Prima La Carne, made first. Do I do that? Yeah, well but Where do you rank this? One. One. After I'll tell you what though, after you take out the grapefruit. It's a pretty good sandwich. It's a pretty good just like a little accent of juice. What about juice accident? Ugh, that was pretty I was so You don't know, I was s I like Conjured up the flavors in my head. I'm like, Of course it's gonna be delicious. Will Farrell wouldn't do me like that. Sure. Will Farrell did me like that. Do me, Will Farrell. Do me or do not. Very unhappy, Will Farrell. What kind of weird sandwich do you want to make, Josh? Tell us. If you could make a weirdo sandwich. Oh probably be a bagel. I don't know if I have one. That's okay, you can like riff. I can tell you. I'm trying to think of ones that I've made. Reasonably. I made just the most delightful Ham cheddar spicy mayo Dorito sand or not Dorito, sun chip sandwich. Oh, sun chips are underrated. Oh my god. Not enough people are eating sun chips. They're not just for toddlers. I do a lot of tuna. I eat so much tuna. Nothing weird on it. But my tuna sandwiches aren't odd. They're all pretty one of the mill good. It's like Mediterranean style, but it And then if I'm making a weird one, then probably for macro reasons. Mm, like Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. And then that's kind of upsetting. I were to be a weird sandwich. I would do the following. Bagel from the grocery store. String cheese. Cut apart. Toast into oblivion. Saracha. That would be my weird sandwich. And that would be What I would say. If someone's like, N'Cool, what's your weird sandwich? That would be a weird sandwich. I can take any leftover and turn it into a sandwich. Yeah, I feel confident. And that's my superpower. You know? Yeah. What's my superpower. I thought it was being empathetic. No. No leftover sandwiches. That's really what it is. That's great, Josh. Who wins? Got you those? Yeah. I think I think Harry Styles wins because in reality, it's not a weird sandwich. It's just weird to us because we're stupid Americans. Yeah, there's like articles that'll be like, Well, you'll never believe this weird he puts a thing on it that we don't understand. Weird isn't a real word. Everyone is a little bit weird. My mom used to call me weird since I was like seven. How does that make you feel? Yeah, it would. No, weirdness and normalcy is a prison. It's a prison? It's a prison. Prism or prison? Present. Like shackles. Shackles, yeah. Like shackles. Somebody calls you weird, it is them trying to control your actions. Yeah. I'm not a weird, I'm eccentric. There we go. This episode is brought to you by IQ Bar, our exclusive snack hydration and coffee sponsor.

Time to find out we'd heard we All right, Nicole. We heard you and I have to say now it's time to find out whether I'll do it. Josh, we've heard what you and I have to say, and now it's time to find out what other wacky ideas are rattling around in the universe. It's time for a segment we call Opinions I like Casserol! Hi Jos. Hi. Um I'm Ethan. I'm calling from South Jersey. You sound like you're Uh congrats on the baby. Oh thanks, you sound like you're in a train. I recently had a revelation. Oh not a baby? I was at my family's Easter celebration. And it had a big pot of dirty water hot dogs. Yum. And a big pot of meatballs. So I made myself a V Ball sub. And I put Like a hot He's got busted on it. I don't know why, but I did it and it changed. The game. Oh yeah. So I've been going around telling all my friends to put hot mustard on here. We bought subs and I've been looked and labeled as a freak. I know what you think. Have a good week. Bye! You better catch that train or subway or wherever you are. Sounds like you're underground. I like it a lot. I like I like it a lot. What's the last time that meatballs sub? It's been a minute. It's been a minute. I don't I don't make them very often. And I can't remember I don't know the last time I will say this. A meatball sub on a hot day is exactly what the doctor Like when it's hot outside and you eat a meatball sub, you feel good. People say no, it needs to be overcast. I disagree. Well the people do say they are saying that a lot about Weather conditions for eating meatball subs. I I can't go a single day without somebody saying it needs to be overcast for you to eat a meatball sub. I'm telling you Who's got a meatball sub these days? Like what restaurant other than Subway? Couldn't tell ya. Couldn't tell. I mean They don't. Like jersey mics. I don't think so. They have cheese steaks, they have chicken cheese steaks over there. A chicken cheese steak's a good a good South Jersey Philly thing. But like they're offered. Yeah, but a chicken cheese steak, why just call it a chicken cheese or a cheese? Cheese cheek. Chicken stick? Chicken steak is what they call it. You should be remov no. No, it's a sandwich like a steak. It's like it's cheese steak. No, cheese steak. The steak means there's beef. Yeah, sure. So this would be called cheese chicken? Yeah. Cheese chick. Cheese chick? Yeah, call it cheese chick. Cheese chick instead of chicken steak. We can do that. I like a chicken steak hoagie. Chicken steak. Uh anyways. The mustard. Um fatty meatballs. Here's the thing. The the marinara sauce is The sauce, sure, but the marinara sauce like doesn't act as a condiment. In a way? Yeah, it does. It interacts with the bread makes bread goo. But think about ketchup is a condiment versus marinara sauce, right? Or barbecue or something something. Both of those are tomato based, but they're much, much more heavily flavored than a marana. You know what I mean? Yes. So this is almost like adding like, you know, you get people that'll add a schmier a pesto. Something that's very heavily flavored, very aromatic to something with red sauce. That makes sense. Well, but this you're just adding like a spicy, uh, caustic mustard component. Almost like adding a spicy jardinaire to it or something like that. I suggest you try Russian mustard. It's my dad's favorite mustard. He always has a jar next to him because he's allergic to pepper but loves mustard. Um, he puts it on just about everything and it has a really intense, pungent taste that you don't get from regular mustard or hot mustard. Try that next time. It might knock your socks off. I support that. I support your move entirely. How So my Uh Hot take is think uncrustables are the best when they are slightly frozen. Yeah, again, I like it when the jelly It's a little bit frozen. So sort of like last. And the peanut butter just nice and Clock it. You can eat it. Clock it. Like that that was um that was a genzy. Pegou. I don't know. I I d I want to bow out of all of the You can't, Josh. You're on YouTube. You have to stay relevant. You have to speak to the youth. You must be the youth. How are you doing, fellow kids? That's literally us. I know. Our audiences. In my trunk. The kids are the kids even skating anywhere? Does that even make me seem young? I think that makes me seem skateboard? It makes you seem like a millennial. Um I love uncrustables and any time I see one, I'll take a bite then throw the rest away. I I think on crustables that are a little bit frozen or good. One time I had it I don't know why this happened. The jelly was thawed, but the peanut butter stayed relatively puckish. And I like that too. So the freezing component doesn't matter if the jelly stays kind of, you know, mucosal or if like the peanut butter stays solid. It's a good eating experience all together. And I'm proud of you for letting us know. Use the word puckish? Puckish. Puck like. Oh no. No, no, it's puckish is a really cute word. I I think it puckish is like It's kinda like uh small, cute, mercurial, slightly like mischievous. You wanna know why? Because of puck. From the Shakespearean play. Midsummer night's dream. Never met never never read a Shakespeare. Ever? Othello. That's the only one I read. Oh. I know. One of those weird gaps in my uh knowledge. Can't name a Harry Silas song never read a Shakespeare. Well what does Puckish mean? What is Puck in silly in uh I I did a mid summer night's dream in school. Puck is like the like Elvish person that's kinda narrating. What is the gender of Puck? I don't think they have a gender. Puck. Mythological character. Oh, Puck isn't a human? No. Oh wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, Shakespeare had like non human Yes. Is Peter is Peter Pan like a human? Shakespeare didn't write Peter Pan. Also Peter Pan is human. Like pseudo. He's like kinda Peter Pan's kinda human. I've never seen Peter Pan. Have you seen A AI Artificial Intelligence? No, never seen hook. Never seen I saw the A little bit of the live State Show with Brian with what's her name? Something William Allison Williams. Okay. Yeah, like that. Okay, so like I was saying, Puck is kinda like it's a character and like they're just like letting you know what's going on and like doing little silly things to the characters. Puckish. It's from this. From a midsummer night's dream. I don't like unquestables, and let me explain to you why. Because pee and butter and jelly It's among the easiest of foods to make. It's w it's one of the easy you uh the ingredients are right there in the name. If you get confused you should just add and bread, peanut butter and jelly and bread and that's it. And I think a homemade PBJ is so much better than an uncrustable. I think the uncrustable, I think The the the peanut butter is like weirdly kinda hard and the jelly's just weirdly kinda wet. And the bread's always a little bit stale. So I would agree with you that it's better when it's frozen because that removes it even farther from a P B and J. But I think just a White bread, cheap peanut butter, cheap jelly sandwich is like one of the better tasting things in the world, and I think the uncrustable misses the mark. I understand that I'm in the minor minority in this. That's fine. I'll be rogue and puckish. You should like uh watch a Midsummer Night Stream. I was at a bar and people were doing Shakespeare at me. I don't think you should do that. Yeah, you did. I we don't need to talk about it. I like it. Um you should go to like a real play I went to pee and drink a beer. That's what I'm supposed to do on the thing. You need to go to like a real performance of a Midsummer Night Stream and watch. It's actually very good. I were talking about me and Julia have too much time because we can You think we're going to play's instead of make love. Instead of make love. And now you want us to go to a play instead of making love? Why don't you go to the play instead of cutting the berries and making the whipped cream? Yeah, I guess. Yeah. Consider it. Go get go go watch a Shakespeare. You're such an educated smart man, you haven't seen a Shakespeare? No, no. Do it now. It's never too late to fall in love with the works of William Shakespeare. I loved Shakespeare growing up. Yeah. When I used to read, I loved it. Okay. Then I stopped. I don't read anymore. Yeah. What are you doing instead of reading? Focusing on some other things right now. Next to the Hey Josh and Nicole, hope you guys are having a lovely day. Uh, my name is Alden, been a fan for a long time. Uh so my wife and I, we bought a pie from a lady who makes pies and sells them at the farmer's market. We got it home, took a bite, and realized the inside was store bought pie filling. Very jelly donut like. Uh and the crush was almost certainly not homemade either. She didn't actually falsely advertise, but to me this kind of betrays the point of selling like twenty five dollar pies at the farmer's market. I wanted to hear what you guys think about this. Publics probably could have sold me the same pie for about twelve dollars, so Like is this kind of sketch or Is that okay by your guys's uh your guys' thoughts? Appreciate everything you do. It'll be a great day. I d yeah I hope your day gets better than that by scammed. This is really funny and I I started thinking about this. A lot because okay, you ever go to um some resort ish destination in another country? And you go to like there's a kind of little street vendor market and they're all just like making the same beaded bracelets. You see the same wears and you can tell that they're coming in, it'll say handmade, whatever. You know, they're coming from some factory into the country and then being distributed and That's fine, the little tourist trinkets. I think No, I think that same relationship exists for farmers' markets where there'll be something that'll be like Pierre's Pierre's artisan made French uh pastries or French bread or whatever. And you're like, okay, this kind of looks cute and homemade and whatever, and then you'll see it. at like not only every farmer's market in the area. I'll go down to San Diego and there'll be the same thing. No way. And so they're kind of Yeah, they're like operating under different names. Not even different names. They're like the same name. Well but it's like you can't be everywhere at once. And so it's you it conjures this image. Of just like oh it's a cute little quaint farmer's market. There's an old Frenchman named Pierre and he's making his own Croissant or whatever. When in actuality and maybe that's how it started, but it's a factory. So the food person in me says that's like really wrong and I'm really sorry that you got taken advantage of. The hustler in me is like Don't hit the player, hate the game. You got got to do it. Yeah, it sucks. But you know, this person is trying to turn a profit, clearly they're getting probably like Big like cambro filled of like purpose jelly feeling from Smart and Final. And they're getting like pre-sheated um like pastry with the tins already lined and like par baked. And they're just trying to make a dollar maybe. And unfortunately you were part of that game and you got got and I'm very sorry it happened to the best of us. But it's nothing sacred anymore, Nicole. Shouldn't I believe that. A farmer's market should be sacred. Farmers markets should be safe to be able to do that's the the that is the last place that we can shop and even feel a little bit good about it. You know what I mean? Sprouts. I love our many Kroger partner family stores. Yeah. I have joy when I look like but there's still no, like I genuinely do, but like But a farmer's market, there's something When you go to a farmer's market, you assume I'm fooled I want to be fooled. I want to believe in something. So that's your parole. You know what I mean? This person also wanted to believe in something and you know what they got weirdo. They wanted strawberries cut up With an all butter dough. You know what they got? Jelly filling and Crisco. And that's listen, it's like the it's like the the ending line from the good fellows. My marinara noodles turned into eggs and ketchup or whatever. You know what he says? No, I've never seen that movie. Josh Uh I don't watch Mafia movies. No Shakespeare, no mafia movies, no Disney movies. You've never seen you must evolve as a man. I know. I've I know a lot about other stuff. You need to you have never seen a d a single Disney movie? Not any like the classic ones. Please watch Fox and the Hound and get back to me. Okay. Uh people are sexually attracted to the fox in that? Or is that No. There's a f there's a fox. No, not that one. There's like a classic Disney fox that people say was like their bisexual awakening. Bambi? Maybe look up. Maybe the moms maybe the mom of the Was there a fox version of Robin Hood? Was there an anime in Robin Hood where he was a fox? There was. Well, this has this has everything to do with friendship, nothing to do with sexy foxes. Okay. Well, um back to the the per farmer's market thing. Money, what do you want? The world is fake sometimes. Sure. If you are somebody who who gave um Tua girl money for her Hua coin. Yeah, you you deserve to get scammed. But and also she uh maybe deserved to scam people in a weird way. She also deserved the the trouble she got in. But like she had no business we made her famous for for nothing. If you are somebody who opens a stall in a farmer's market. One, that's not the best way to that's not the most efficient way to like scam people to sell pies with substandard ingredients. If you're opening up a booth at a farmer's market, you like There's some sort of implication that you're doing it out of love of the game. And like this is the transaction you make when you go to a farmer's market. And you give somebody twenty five dollars for a pie. I think there's a reasonable expectation. That that will be homemade with love. And I think you got duped and and now All you can do is never give that person your money again and and hope that the market corrects itself. Sometimes in life you get screwed over by the choices you make. And that's okay. That happens sometimes. That doesn't mean you're a bad person. That doesn't mean that you're a stupid person. Sometimes it happens to happens to everybody in the universe. Sometimes with small things like a pie, sometimes big things like lending family members hundreds of thousands of dollars and then not seeing it anymore. And similarly, like you should have a reasonable expectation for family members to pay money back.
