Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and dul Say Sloan, corresponding for the Daily Show.
Speaker 1: Before we get into today's episode, we want to know
Speaker 1: what do you want to hear us argue about on
Speaker 1: this podcast. Drop a comment on any hold up clip
Speaker 1: you see on the Daily Show's Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or
Speaker 1: YouTube pages, or tweet us using the hashtag hashtag hold up.
Speaker 1: Let us know. Hey, I'm Josh Johnson running for The
Speaker 1: Daily Show, and this is hold Up. I'm here with
Speaker 1: my co host. Today's topic is sweet potato pie versus
Speaker 1: pumpkin pie. And tell the people. Let them know. First
Speaker 1: of all, I'm a good person. Okay, so you know
Speaker 1: for a fact that I picked sweet Savor because it
Speaker 1: ain't no way on God's blue marble that I'm gonna
Speaker 1: act like that. I Am going to be eating something
Speaker 1: that for car and faces too. Okay. The only time
Speaker 1: anybody messes with that vegetable, with that squash, Okay, with
Speaker 1: that ground dwelling vine climbing orange vegetables from November to
Speaker 1: do something people ain't thinking about pumpkin the rest of
Speaker 1: the year. It's like, oh, pumpkin spice. Pumpkin spice is
Speaker 1: not made for pumpkins. It's just nutmeg, it's and made
Speaker 1: other stuff. It's just the season that we put on pumpkin.
Speaker 1: And also we call it pumpkin spice. But I've had
Speaker 1: a pumpkin pie, and pumpkin spices ain't in that pie.
Speaker 1: The spices ain't good. And don't act like, oh, they're
Speaker 1: equal to each other. Oh you know that, we can't.
Speaker 1: You can't even tell. You can tell. Look at who's
Speaker 1: at that party, look at who's at this kid together. Okay,
Speaker 1: whatever the majority is, that's what that pie is. That's
Speaker 1: what that pie is. I'll just say. I'll just say
Speaker 1: and and and so my mother is allergic to pumpkin, right,
Speaker 1: and so we gotta sweep potato pipe from the store
Speaker 1: one time, I guess this was in Atlanta, and the
Speaker 1: pumpkin wasn't selling. They had snucked the pumpkin into the
Speaker 1: sweet potato because my mother was eating it. This is
Speaker 1: and my tongue itches, my throat itches. I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: what she said, what's the agreeing? She's like, wait, we
Speaker 1: cooked everything else. And then she was like, what's the
Speaker 1: agreedients on that pot? Because you started trying to figure
Speaker 1: out what it was, and these bastard, don't snuck pumpkin
Speaker 1: into this good Christian sweet potato pie. So that lets
Speaker 1: you know that they're trying to hide pumpkin. They try.
Speaker 1: This is the cheese, you know this is they're trying
Speaker 1: to put the broccoli in. Okay, just because you put cheese,
Speaker 1: you put put cheese on the broccoli. Okay, that's what
Speaker 1: this is. Stop making that face and making I'm making
Speaker 1: that face because even in the example you're using, broccoli
Speaker 1: is still a good thing. Broccoli is delicious. What I'm
Speaker 1: saying is that, but a lot of peop don't like broccoli.
Speaker 1: People in Brussels Brows, like my big in college, she
Speaker 1: doesn't like broccoli because she says it's like licking the afro.
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that. I love broccoli. Also, I
Speaker 1: have an afro. Um. Yeah, that's a genuinely and say
Speaker 1: thing to me, Like I I kind of understand what
Speaker 1: she's trying to say. But no, listen, I was eighteen
Speaker 1: at the time. It sounded crazy. Then I'm thirty nine.
Speaker 1: It still sounds nuts. M But you know that's Aaron Kennedy. Okay.
Speaker 1: I was not here for it. So all I'm saying
Speaker 1: is that pumpkin is so disliked, it so understold that
Speaker 1: they had to slide it and sneak it in as
Speaker 1: a filler in a sweeper telling the pie. Because if
Speaker 1: pumpkin was so good on its own, it wouldn't have
Speaker 1: had to slide it in there and try to kill
Speaker 1: my mama. Listen, they should not have snuck in pumpkin
Speaker 1: into a pie that was not supposed to be pumpkin.
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that also, especially because people have allergies.
Speaker 1: What I will say, how many times have you been
Speaker 1: at a dinner. Have you been somewhere and you look
Speaker 1: at the table, and like you said, you you said,
Speaker 1: look at the people, you'll know the type of pie.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, let's keep it on the pie for
Speaker 1: a second. Let's keep it on the actual color and
Speaker 1: hue of the pie. Okay, I look at a pie
Speaker 1: that could be sweet potato or it could be pumpkin.
Speaker 1: You can't tell me you know with a certainty which
Speaker 1: type of pie it is. You know, these pies are
Speaker 1: very close, they're barely they're barely barely edging each other
Speaker 1: out with homemade You can see the spices right which
Speaker 1: store bought you're still on a sweepen Tata pie, you
Speaker 1: can usually see the spice. You'll see a little bit
Speaker 1: of the spice, right, But store pot pies is very
Speaker 1: hard to distinguish between the two because they do end
Speaker 1: up being similar colors. But sweepen sat the pies usually darker.
Speaker 1: But because of the spices, they're are more nutrients in
Speaker 1: a sweet potato and sweet potatoes then there are in pumpkins. Now,
Speaker 1: some people try to say that there are less there's
Speaker 1: less sugar and pumpkin pies versusweet potatoes. But I really
Speaker 1: feel like they have to go down to just the
Speaker 1: recipe because I don't. Of course it's gonna be less
Speaker 1: sugar and a pumpkin pie. A sweet potato is sweet.
Speaker 1: And also if you're sitting up typing in what is
Speaker 1: a healthier pie? Um, yes, if you are at the
Speaker 1: pie section of the grocery store and go to google
Speaker 1: which is the healthier pie, just take a step back
Speaker 1: and realize it's all pie. It's all pie. So even
Speaker 1: if you grabbed an apple, you're getting some sugar, you're
Speaker 1: getting you're getting some pastry, you're getting some very buttery base. Listen,
Speaker 1: that's why people on Keto. I did not know the
Speaker 1: people on Keto and stuff can't even have fruit. So
Speaker 1: what is that? Because one of my friends just started
Speaker 1: Keto and said that he can't have fruit, and what
Speaker 1: why is that? I think Keto is just Atkins, It's
Speaker 1: just South Beach. It's just one of those things. First
Speaker 1: of all, when I started doing my first nutrition is
Speaker 1: back inen, like, you know, I just working hard to
Speaker 1: keep my neck. As you see, I have one. You
Speaker 1: thought that girl was gonna lose her neck in a
Speaker 1: panty dropper in a pandemic and a Panasonic in a
Speaker 1: panorama and a Popeye's na bitch, any who's so? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know I put on my wearing my max, my
Speaker 1: chin chillers. We all know this is very so just
Speaker 1: because you bring a mink doesn't mean you're right. Okay,
Speaker 1: don't don't do this thing now in future episodes where
Speaker 1: try to dress up and then flex as if you
Speaker 1: don't have to make your points and stuff, because because
Speaker 1: that's so disrespectful to show up not give me any warning, right,
Speaker 1: so already you don't say anything. You do, just let
Speaker 1: me show up at a regular shirt. But that you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring a mink. This feels like what somebody
Speaker 1: invite you to a party and don't tell you as
Speaker 1: horrible because then you show up to make and then
Speaker 1: you start talking down to me about my choices and
Speaker 1: just feels like a set up. Listen, first of all,
Speaker 1: this is from toward. This is not a make. This
Speaker 1: is very flammable. Okay, this is very flammable. This is
Speaker 1: what the kids call the foe for all. Right. I
Speaker 1: have I've I've acquired real only because I was bullied
Speaker 1: into it. Okay, this is just because because of the
Speaker 1: lights and the equipment in this room, you have to
Speaker 1: keep it chilly in here, otherwise I'd be buttass naked
Speaker 1: by the end of this podcast every time we do it.
Speaker 1: M So, no, I will judge you in anything, nigger.
Speaker 1: I'll judge you in a wife feat. Okay, I will
Speaker 1: judge you in somebody else's T shirt. So don't think
Speaker 1: to me coming out here. Oh you didn't even and
Speaker 1: it's on the slip on the sleeves. Don't come on, baby,
Speaker 1: Just because I'm wearing my pacho don't mean that I'm
Speaker 1: not here for the judgeifying and critification. I'm always here
Speaker 1: for the judge offying and the critification. You know that
Speaker 1: I mean about me, Joshua. Okay, that's why we are
Speaker 1: such friends. Could you try to act like that you
Speaker 1: ain't here for the judge offying in the critification, but
Speaker 1: you know you are here for the judge of fling
Speaker 1: in the critification. Yeah. But I'm saying, don't rest on
Speaker 1: your laurels, all right, because I've seen it before. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it happens with rappings. I don't even know who she is. Sometimes,
Speaker 1: Oh my got, You're like, you're like true, you're like
Speaker 1: truly a menas uh So I would college with your
Speaker 1: name Laurel all the time. All right? What do you
Speaker 1: mean there? There will be rappers who really come through
Speaker 1: that first few albums and then they really get their
Speaker 1: money up, and then they start wearing well and the
Speaker 1: music suffers. All right? Are you trying to say that
Speaker 1: my points are suffering because I was chilly? I'm saying
Speaker 1: they could in the future, all right. If we get okay,
Speaker 1: that means that the next time we do this, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to wear my fox, my crystal fox poncho,
Speaker 1: and dunk on you the whole time. Why would you
Speaker 1: make me do that? Why not let me sit out
Speaker 1: here in my faue Furt and whatever fabric this is.
Speaker 1: This is from Torrid. Okay, this was also free. They
Speaker 1: said this to me, and I'm very excited about it.
Speaker 1: But don't think. Don't think I'm very happy for you. Listen,
Speaker 1: I've don't a Skims bra. I don't even know what
Speaker 1: it's doing, but my titties aren't. I haven't gone song
Speaker 1: for the winner. We're in here. I got three hooks
Speaker 1: on the broad. Last time I three hooks on the
Speaker 1: bra was a Clinton administration. What I'm saying is just
Speaker 1: because your friend is out here wearing free, moderately priced clothing. Okay,
Speaker 1: this shirt also from tore It also free. Shout out
Speaker 1: to tour it. That's what I'm saying, is just because
Speaker 1: your girl is trying to be wharm in my studio. Okay.
Speaker 1: Does not mean that I cannot be making valid points.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying. It doesn't mean that you're not making
Speaker 1: valid points. I'm specifically saying, you know, just make sure
Speaker 1: you always come through with the with the insane energy.
Speaker 1: You know, the girl, I'm drinking out of a soup
Speaker 1: cup that I punched the whole in for a straw.
Speaker 1: So don't act like honestly, it's the best way for
Speaker 1: me to keep up with my water or intake. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because you know exactly the size of the cup. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm with you. It was just fun. I don't know
Speaker 1: why I like it. I like a big cup. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but also the structure of the lid, you can really
Speaker 1: like pinch the top right. And so because I have
Speaker 1: had like this very fancy color changing like those really
Speaker 1: like fancy cups that they have, like the double insulated,
Speaker 1: I had one for my birthday. Would change colors and
Speaker 1: you put like something ice cold in it, and then
Speaker 1: one day I want to reach for it, fell out
Speaker 1: of my fridge exploded. The fifteen bucks. This came with
Speaker 1: one tan soup and it's strong as hell. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's very strong. I can hear the ice from here. Yo.
Speaker 1: My mom like I was like, I think a year
Speaker 1: or two to do and stand up candle in the
Speaker 1: open mics, and usually to make you change if you
Speaker 1: have a glass glass, they make you change your plastic cup.
Speaker 1: But they let my mom keep her glass because it's
Speaker 1: my mom. And the comic went up and he was
Speaker 1: bombing bombing, and my mom was like twirling, just sitting
Speaker 1: there doing this and this guy goes, am, I getting
Speaker 1: heckled by ice, and my mother goes, yes, yes you are.
Speaker 1: I don't remember who that comic is because I don't
Speaker 1: think I faw him again after that. I mean it's
Speaker 1: not a few more times, but yes, he got heckled
Speaker 1: by ice. He was doing that. That's either the origin
Speaker 1: story of the next biggest comic in America or someone
Speaker 1: who just started doing hedge found work because they were like,
Speaker 1: this isn't for me. You know what, Well, Brian, what happened?
Speaker 1: I went back and got my masters because I got
Speaker 1: heckled by frozen water. This is not the profession I
Speaker 1: need to be in. But yeah, yeah, anytime it's quiet
Speaker 1: enough that just the elements, or at play bro, ice
Speaker 1: on glass, whatever, it's cold enough that you can just
Speaker 1: hear wind outside. I want to get back to this
Speaker 1: topic at hand, because this this is like the State
Speaker 1: of the Union address, Okay, And I understand, and I
Speaker 1: also understand the history of why of why sweet potato
Speaker 1: is a staple. I'm not disrespecting sweepertatil Pie. It's the ancestors, Joshua.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm saying for me, it is a
Speaker 1: forty nine to at. I love both of these pies.
Speaker 1: Give pumpkin pie a fifty one, but I will steal
Speaker 1: your shoes, still your new medical shoes, and saying that
Speaker 1: it's slightly it's just out for me. Tell me how,
Speaker 1: Tell me how? Tell me think? I think that some
Speaker 1: of the sweet potato pies I've had a specially the
Speaker 1: ones that were homemade before, have had just not the
Speaker 1: right texture because just like pumpkin sweet potato, if it's
Speaker 1: too if it's too like soupy, if it's too you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, If it's too loose, ones going
Speaker 1: in you barely have a pie. You've got like a
Speaker 1: bunch of thick, thickened up soup and crust. Okay, you're
Speaker 1: putting sweepotator pie it across. And it's not like a batter,
Speaker 1: because the batter is a batter, and a batter we
Speaker 1: know will hold to a spoon. It's like you're talking
Speaker 1: to someone. One year I made between Thanksgiving and Christmas,
Speaker 1: I made thirty sweep with Tata bars. Oh you told
Speaker 1: me about this, Yeah, And my mother was selling them,
Speaker 1: and I supposed to give me the money or some
Speaker 1: of the money, and then I never didn't get any
Speaker 1: of the money. She said. At one point I had
Speaker 1: an allowance, but I never saw it. My mother bought
Speaker 1: me a hand mixer because I used to make like
Speaker 1: cakes and stuff, and my mom would sell them at
Speaker 1: work and then the money would somehow, you just get
Speaker 1: reinvested in the cakes. Right, So I was never paid
Speaker 1: for my labor. But you know, I'm a black child.
Speaker 1: So when was said make the cakes, I made the cakes, right.
Speaker 1: And so I make cakes for the house or cakes
Speaker 1: for the friends, you know, aunties and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And so I was making sweet potato pies and I
Speaker 1: was just mash. I was, you know, you cook them up.
Speaker 1: I'm mashing straight sweet potatoes. I didn't like the mash
Speaker 1: wheat like the you know, like a sweep like a
Speaker 1: potato masher got the big holes in it. So it
Speaker 1: wasn't doing the work that it needed to do to
Speaker 1: get down to protect the consistency that I needed. I
Speaker 1: just had a little white plastic cup and I'm just
Speaker 1: mushion and mushion and mushion. I mean this before we
Speaker 1: had an electric mixer, so I just had two forks
Speaker 1: and a strong erro bow. Okay out here breaking these pies,
Speaker 1: doubt and they were delicious. Okay I made but yeah,
Speaker 1: probably between like thirty thirty five pies between Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I still have to go to school.
Speaker 1: I was like mamma's child like, but she said, well,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm stilling the mat work. I was like, and
Speaker 1: I was one. I was like, mommy sawd out of pie.
Speaker 1: She said yeah. I said, oh, how much did you
Speaker 1: make of selling the pride? She's like, what do you mean,
Speaker 1: Mommy and my allowns, Oh, we gotta make more pies. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna that's an early lesson and which was
Speaker 1: wild because like I had like other businesses and she
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know what it was. I
Speaker 1: think eventually she gave me like a couple of bucks
Speaker 1: and you have like thirty five dollars. But I'm just
Speaker 1: like I've a dollar a pie. And she's like, you know, Christmas,
Speaker 1: which is not actual reason. That's what does a black
Speaker 1: parents really gave you great reasoning on stuff before. I
Speaker 1: will say this is what happened to me to explain
Speaker 1: so that you see where I'm coming from. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I have much nostalgia. I've got flavor. This is a
Speaker 1: family recipe. But I've all said others people say the
Speaker 1: pies like list like people in my family can cook, right,
Speaker 1: So if you're coming from an experience where people were
Speaker 1: making homemade pies that were either too wet or too dry,
Speaker 1: or they're not doing what they need to be doing,
Speaker 1: they're not doing what the kids say, giving what they
Speaker 1: need to give. I understand that you would have these
Speaker 1: instances were like I'm an a particularly fan of this
Speaker 1: because oh press experience, like I to this day can't
Speaker 1: eat a running egg because they made us paranoid or
Speaker 1: raw food. Yeah, yeah, that's true. So like first of all,
Speaker 1: just the salmonilla and eggs. It's like for you know,
Speaker 1: because was not for black people. We did That's why
Speaker 1: we had steaks well done and stuff like that, but
Speaker 1: that comes from a history of us being sold the
Speaker 1: worst quality meat. So if you didn't have it cooked
Speaker 1: all the way, you'd get sick. Right. So I'm just
Speaker 1: now learning to get that this was out of a
Speaker 1: necessity and not because of this, Like that's why we
Speaker 1: see and stuff because we didn't have the best quality meat. Also,
Speaker 1: that's just genetic, so you can understand that you've had
Speaker 1: experience where you're like, so for me, hey, that that's
Speaker 1: exactly it. It's like in life, I have had great
Speaker 1: homemade Sweepertato pies. I've had good store bought Sweepertaio pies.
Speaker 1: But I've also had bad Sweepertaio pies so far in
Speaker 1: my life. Even though it doesn't quite it doesn't quite
Speaker 1: out edge the best Sweepertato pie I've ever had. I've
Speaker 1: never had a bad pumpkin pie, mainly because they've been
Speaker 1: store bought, but have some homemade pumpkin pies that were good. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you had more homemade Sweepertata pies. You have something
Speaker 1: pumpkin pies? Yes? And okayd you it hit wrong a
Speaker 1: few too many times. You want to talk about running egg. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you cut into a pie like that and there's
Speaker 1: any type of liquid and it gives up, I can't say.
Speaker 1: The thing that always confused me about Sweepertata pies is
Speaker 1: that when you make a sweepstada piecase are like a
Speaker 1: blender or something, there are strings in it. It's a
Speaker 1: fibrous vegetable. I've never understood a lot of time when
Speaker 1: you have the pie. Where did the strings go? I
Speaker 1: guess they just cook out or well, I think they
Speaker 1: just really get as close to dissolving as they can.
Speaker 1: I know. But that is the thing that I always
Speaker 1: confused me as a weak girl and as a girl
Speaker 1: and adult lady. Um. Also, I think I'm confused about
Speaker 1: pumpkin pie because I've just never enjoyed the flavor of sawdust.
Speaker 1: So I guess I just can't what wow, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, what? No?
Speaker 1: What you know exactly what you did? You would be
Speaker 1: looking up like that if you didn't know what you did.
Speaker 1: A real one is like what you did? What? God? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: It's fine, it's fine. What does it? Because the thing is,
Speaker 1: it's like, I feel like the spices you put in
Speaker 1: a pumpkin I can tell you I've had a pumpkin
Speaker 1: spice beverage and had to slice the pumpkin pie, and
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like any of the spices that were
Speaker 1: in a pumpkin spice beverage, or even the spices that
Speaker 1: you're smelling a pumpkin spice candle don't end up in
Speaker 1: a pumpkin pie. So where do these spices get put
Speaker 1: not always, not always, so some of them do. Some
Speaker 1: of them have like a special you know, whether it's
Speaker 1: topped with a little bit of whipped cream and then
Speaker 1: some pumpkin spice on that cream, or whether they hoped
Speaker 1: the entire pie with the spice of spice to be
Speaker 1: mixed in. No, it is, it is, it is. You're
Speaker 1: not wrong. I'm just telling you where the spice goes. Sometimes,
Speaker 1: because I felt like that was the question. It was
Speaker 1: now what I can't listen. What I really wish we
Speaker 1: could debate, which I don't think we'll ever have enough
Speaker 1: people to do, is super tato pie versus a bean pie.
Speaker 1: That I yeah, I don't know if we'll ever really
Speaker 1: get there, because first of all, I'd have to eat
Speaker 1: both in the same week er day to really like
Speaker 1: fresh refresh the Palett's memory. And then we'd also have
Speaker 1: to really go in on second, are you gonna get facts?
Speaker 1: What the hell was that sail? That's the door for
Speaker 1: my apartment? Oh? I was like, Josh, and fact is
Speaker 1: over there anything doing real business? Uh? You know, maybe
Speaker 1: one day, maybe, maybe in the future, if we're blessed.
Speaker 1: The last time I sent the facts and I was
Speaker 1: trying to send in my time sheet to work. So
Speaker 1: I work for a tip agency. You have to eatch
Speaker 1: your time sheet signed. And then they were just every Friday.
Speaker 1: They were just for somebody who would round up everybody's
Speaker 1: time sheets and then we have to get them sign
Speaker 1: and then facts them, and I just every time going.
Speaker 1: We have the internet, we have an email, you know,
Speaker 1: what are we doing this or something like well, it
Speaker 1: don't fact them, just scan them into one fire And
Speaker 1: I'm like, why, Yeah, everybody knows I logged into a
Speaker 1: system to fucking be here. Why am I facting anybody?
Speaker 1: The facts machine was also kind of cool when you
Speaker 1: think about it, because it was just like technology when
Speaker 1: it was at the top. Yeah, yeah, like we had,
Speaker 1: like we used to be able to get a printer
Speaker 1: facts scanner. You would have a fact machine at your house.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know why we need this,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna need it, and when we do need it,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great. Because my mom used to at
Speaker 1: Kinko's if so many people would come in having a
Speaker 1: fact something, if you don't know what we are talking about,
Speaker 1: that means you're probably under thirty two. Yeah, wait, Josh,
Speaker 1: I want you hey, right on the line, baby, Joshua
Speaker 1: just made it. He might even use the rotary phone before,
Speaker 1: not not not quickly, but yes, well we want to
Speaker 1: kick this to you, the listener. I'm I listened, I
Speaker 1: stayed on. Tests didn't not because you never proved all
Speaker 1: it was better. All you said was I've had bad
Speaker 1: homemade people tator pies, so pumpkin is better. Yeah, thats
Speaker 1: at what point were we supposed to come through with data?
Speaker 1: All right, say that's a week. That's a weak argument.
Speaker 1: That's a weak argument. They look almost identical. They have
Speaker 1: the same texture, all right. That is not true. The
Speaker 1: texture of a sweeper tang tooe or pulpicat pie is
Speaker 1: the same. You know how a friend in college you
Speaker 1: wouldn't eat, uh like apple or peach or anything like
Speaker 1: that because she didn't like cook fruit. It's all the sort.
Speaker 1: The same girl that said celery is just crunchy water.
Speaker 1: So so she's a real country too. I never understood, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: she was a black girl that was so country that
Speaker 1: she wore Dixie outfitter shirts. I don't know if this
Speaker 1: person is an innovator or has been left so far
Speaker 1: behind like this is this is This is someone who
Speaker 1: we either need to be researching and taking notes from,
Speaker 1: or we need to be researching and avoiding the thoughts
Speaker 1: of I can't tell you that her name was a
Speaker 1: conversation of her mom and daddy's name. So whenever you
Speaker 1: get one of them said suations, then I hope she's
Speaker 1: doing well. I hope she lived the life she wants
Speaker 1: to live, serving to God. She wants to serve um.
Speaker 1: I just was like, but apple a pumpkin. Listen. I
Speaker 1: do have a quick question, though, how do you feel
Speaker 1: about Cobbler? You know what? That's a different episode. I can't,
Speaker 1: but I can say that I think this hits home
Speaker 1: on I think because sweeoul say them pumpkin pies, because
Speaker 1: they come out when they come out, right, especially pumpkin
Speaker 1: being the one trick pony that it is, you know,
Speaker 1: getting your little jabs in whenever you can. I'm sure
Speaker 1: it feels good sitting up there with your minx. All right, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it's called a fink. Thank you, Okayn,
Speaker 1: think whatever you want to call it. I see I
Speaker 1: see you there, all right, see you talking down on
Speaker 1: the pumpkins. I see you and all your hubris are
Speaker 1: humorous at all of hubrius. Possibly be wrong. The sweeper
Speaker 1: say that out here living a year round life. Okay,
Speaker 1: they are doing so much with the sweet potato. They're
Speaker 1: turning it into chips. Okay, there we are roasting them.
Speaker 1: We are making them a summertime salad situation because sweet
Speaker 1: potatoes out here doing the work that pumpkin could never
Speaker 1: do this. How about maybe pumpkin is out here once
Speaker 1: a year because it's not common, it's not cheap. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's it's a selective. It's a selective. It's a selective spice.
Speaker 1: It's a selective. Okay, you have to listen. You can't
Speaker 1: keep bringing up the spices. You can't keep bring up
Speaker 1: with spices, because pumpkin spice is not made out of pumpkin.
Speaker 1: It is made to season pumpkin. What's used to season
Speaker 1: the sweet potato, nutmeg, and other regular things that you
Speaker 1: put in a pie. So I feel like this is
Speaker 1: a moot point as far as getting spiced. We're gonna
Speaker 1: see what's in pumpkin spice, all right, pumpkin pie spice.
Speaker 1: I was on pumpkin spices and American spice mix, commonly
Speaker 1: used as a flavoring from pumpkin pie, but does not
Speaker 1: include pumpkin as ingredient. There's no pumpkin in it, so
Speaker 1: it's generally a blend of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clothes,
Speaker 1: and sometimes allspice. Okay, now do you are you? Because
Speaker 1: basically a lot of those spices are the same ones
Speaker 1: that go in sweet potato pie. So if the spice
Speaker 1: profile is the same, then what's giving you the flavor
Speaker 1: is the actual vegetable itself, because at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, we have to remember these are vegetable pies.
Speaker 1: Yeah we picked somebody sat up and was like, okay,
Speaker 1: that vegetable. But because there's no regular potato, we're not
Speaker 1: doing this with a regular potato. M h. We're not
Speaker 1: doing this with butternut squash. We found whatever works. Rhubarb
Speaker 1: is just red celery, and I'm still not sure what
Speaker 1: we do with that. Because we're doing the same spices.
Speaker 1: That means that is the flavor of the sweet potato
Speaker 1: or the pumpkin itself, and it's delicious. I think I've
Speaker 1: made my position clear. I'm not saying one is trash
Speaker 1: and one is amazing. I'm saying that it slightly edges
Speaker 1: it out for me because of my past experiences, and
Speaker 1: now I want to hear from you, the listener. What
Speaker 1: do you think? Or do you go pumpkin? Do you
Speaker 1: go sweet Potato? All right, I'm not gonna judge you
Speaker 1: and act like you're crazy for picking either one. This
Speaker 1: isn't a situation where duels and I are diametrically opposed.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, no, this is how I feel. I
Speaker 1: think pumpkin pie is all ful. You like both of them? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's where we are, but I wasn't. We're not at
Speaker 1: a thing where we both think the other ones as trash,
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. We've had much more heated debates
Speaker 1: about the thing than this one. You know, there are
Speaker 1: things that you like that I hate, and we've proven
Speaker 1: that you were wrong on all of those fronts. Grills
Speaker 1: are trash, all right, Grills are terrible. What Why are
Speaker 1: you going against people who are blessed? The chain is
Speaker 1: perfectly fine show the people you're blessed without having to
Speaker 1: you know, the gold entire mouth. Oh yeah, listen, m hmm,
Speaker 1: I'm listening better. There's so many ways to display that
Speaker 1: you're doing all right. Right, there's nothing. This is the
Speaker 1: best part of the grill is the fact that it's removable. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not a permanent goal to have to say, then
Speaker 1: uncle in the eighties, all right, you know, selling crack,
Speaker 1: destroying your neighborhood, and a new leather jacket and a
Speaker 1: BMW chain is even more easily removable. I've seen I've
Speaker 1: seen grills get stuck. Listen, we were in chains for
Speaker 1: so long, Josh, wow, hold on, hold on, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on. I'll actually agree with that. I don't actually
Speaker 1: agree with that. What people who were like how that
Speaker 1: the argument against chains were just like I would never
Speaker 1: wear something that would Bobby, You're like, bro shut up.
Speaker 1: If you're broke, you're broke. Don't act like that. You
Speaker 1: don't wear a chain. That's kind of thing. That's a
Speaker 1: big They'll be all the intercob in Brooklyn talking about
Speaker 1: they had us in the chain, and now you want
Speaker 1: to buy the chain so you can wear the chain
Speaker 1: in front of the people that put us in the chains. Right,
Speaker 1: And it gives me the same energy as like, look,
Speaker 1: if you want to chain, what you're gonna have to do,
Speaker 1: what you have to lay down, what you do, you
Speaker 1: have to put it in that time. You got to
Speaker 1: put in that sweat. The chain is made of sweat,
Speaker 1: all right, Sweat poured together turns to gold because that's
Speaker 1: the grind, damn it. Yeah, I gotta make sure that
Speaker 1: I don't say anything. Yeah, yeah, just up every episode
Speaker 1: you've been really so, what sweet potato things? How can
Speaker 1: I grind to turn these sweet potatoes in the diamonds, Joshua,
Speaker 1: Tell the people, Tell the people how they can be
Speaker 1: out there using these pies. Look, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: If you're sweet potato pie is not turning to gold,
Speaker 1: you haven't put the oven up high enough. Okay, all right.
Speaker 1: And if you can't put your oven up any higher,
Speaker 1: you need to grind until you get a better of
Speaker 1: until you get that stay of art, until you get
Speaker 1: that new new Okay. I don't, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: understand why people are out here still asking these questions
Speaker 1: when the books already and written. I hate this guy.
Speaker 1: Just look, just grind, just work, and it'll all work out. Okay,
Speaker 1: This new josh has too much power. Oh my god, listen.
Speaker 1: I know this is a highly contentious, highly debated cultural
Speaker 1: argument and needs here United States of America, cup, But
Speaker 1: just know, stick with your people, Okay, stick with your people.
Speaker 1: If you're out here supporting sides, you know you have
Speaker 1: no business supporting. That's between you and your mama. Okay,
Speaker 1: But just know who you are, where are you coming from,
Speaker 1: and make sure you support the right side. You can
Speaker 1: your opinion. You can think what you want to thank,
Speaker 1: but you know what you're wrong. And just so you
Speaker 1: know you can, you can be with your people. You
Speaker 1: can love and support your people without going with the herd. Okay.
Speaker 1: So if you if you your life where something did
Speaker 1: you a little dirty and you love it as much
Speaker 1: as other people, that's okay too, all right, that's all
Speaker 1: right too. Okay. If you if you've been done truly
Speaker 1: dirty by a pastry and you don't really love it
Speaker 1: the way that other people love it, you don't know
Speaker 1: how that it's good. You just say, hey, I'm out here,
Speaker 1: I've had different experience, all right, I'm saying respect that
