Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central's America's only
Speaker 2: sorts for new hits, The Daily Joke with your host
Speaker 2: Daisy Line.
Speaker 3: Welcome, Henry Jo.
Speaker 1: I'm Henry Lenek. We've got so much to talk about tonight.
Speaker 1: Everyone is debating about the debate. Bob Menendez has found
Speaker 1: a new way to get divorced. And you're not going
Speaker 1: to believe this. The South did something racist. But first
Speaker 1: breaking news, Donald Trump is still on trial. Let's get
Speaker 1: into it with another edition of America. He has most
Speaker 1: tremendously wanted.
Speaker 4: The whole things are scammed.
Speaker 1: Day eighteen of Donald Trump's porn star hush money trial
Speaker 1: was another star turn for Michael Cohen, former Trump fixer
Speaker 1: and all of Long Island distilled into one man. Cohen
Speaker 1: is the lynchpin of the government's case because his testimony
Speaker 1: directly ties Trump to the falsification of business records, which, remember,
Speaker 1: is the actual crime here. The porn star hush money
Speaker 1: part is just a little thing we keep saying because
Speaker 1: it's fun. So for the last few days, Trump's defense
Speaker 1: attorneys have been doing their best to make Cohen seem
Speaker 1: less credible than a Boeing in flight safety video, and
Speaker 1: they have a lot to work with.
Speaker 5: Today, Trump's defense has pressed Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer
Speaker 5: and fixer. The defense has also highlighted some of the
Speaker 5: various insults that he has lobbed against Trump over the years,
Speaker 5: painting him is a man out for revenge after their
Speaker 5: relationship fell apart. At one point, the defense played this
Speaker 5: clip from Cohen's podcast in October of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: I truly hope that this man ends up in prison.
Speaker 2: It won't bring back the year that I lost or
Speaker 2: the damage done to my family, but revenge is a
Speaker 2: dish best served cold, and you better believe I want
Speaker 2: this man to go down and rottenside for what he
Speaker 2: did to me and my family.
Speaker 1: Wow. That is an angry podcast. It must be hard
Speaker 1: to keep that level of anger when you also have
Speaker 1: to read podcast ads. I'm hungry for vengeance and also
Speaker 1: for when a Blue Apron's delicious home cooked me a little.
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I feel bad for the jurors. As
Speaker 1: if jury duty isn't bad enough, now they have to
Speaker 1: listen to a dude's podcast, And who is Michael Cohen's podcast?
Speaker 1: Even for do the people who hate Trump not have
Speaker 1: enough content? Is there some guy who's like, I love MSNBC,
Speaker 1: but it's only on twenty four hours a day and
Speaker 1: it's not just his podcast. Trump's lawyers are dredging up
Speaker 1: all the nastiest things he's ever said about Trump, and
Speaker 1: right in front of his face.
Speaker 4: You referred to President Trump as a borish, cartoon misogynist,
Speaker 4: didn't you? Defense attorney Todd blanchast? It sounds like something
Speaker 4: I would say. Cohen responded, a cheeto dusted cartoon villain.
Speaker 4: That also sounds like something I said.
Speaker 3: You're referred to President Trump as dictator.
Speaker 1: Dbat didn't you?
Speaker 3: Cohen says, sounds like something I said.
Speaker 1: Damn Trump is just sitting there while his own lawyer
Speaker 1: roasts him. And did you also call the president mister
Speaker 1: bitch tits?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 1: How about resting bullsack face? That's a good one. Commander
Speaker 1: in cheese Dick, You never said that, but you could?
Speaker 1: Is that true? Look get the defense's argument that you
Speaker 1: can't trust Michael Cohen because he hates Donald Trump, But
Speaker 1: to be fair, everyone who's ever worked with Donald Trump
Speaker 1: hates Donald Trump. At some point, you gotta be like
Speaker 1: I think it's Trump. Let's change gears because Trump's not
Speaker 1: the only politician on trial right now. There's also Bob Menendez,
Speaker 1: New Jersey senator and grown up cabbage patch kid. He's
Speaker 1: facing corruption charges and now we know he's going with
Speaker 1: the borat defense. My wife.
Speaker 5: Lawyers for Senator Bob Menendez trying to shift the willame
Speaker 5: for his alleged corruption onto his wife.
Speaker 7: An FBI search of the Menendez home in Englewood Cliff's,
Speaker 7: New Jersey in June of twenty twenty two turned up
Speaker 7: more than four hundred and eighty thousand dollars in cash
Speaker 7: along with gold bars.
Speaker 8: And the Menenda's defense suggesting his wife, Nadine, was responsible
Speaker 8: for the gold bars found in their home, saying they
Speaker 8: were in her closet, have a key to that closet,
Speaker 8: and did not know of the gold bars in that closet.
Speaker 1: The defense attorney said, this is shocking. Okay, this tall
Speaker 1: blonde woman who lives in New Jersey and has a
Speaker 1: locked closet full of goat gold bars is not a
Speaker 1: real housewife, Andy Cohen, wake up. So Bob Menendez's argument
Speaker 1: is that his wife was secretly orchestrating a corrupt international
Speaker 1: bribery scheme and hoarding gold bars in his own house
Speaker 1: and he never knew it. And that, gentleman, is why
Speaker 1: you need to ask your wife about her day.
Speaker 9: Okay, ask your wife about Jayat.
Speaker 1: It's a little things. Seriously, though, the balls on this
Speaker 1: guy to throw his own wife under the bus. Is
Speaker 1: anyone buying this? Menandez's lawyers are actually arguing that his
Speaker 1: wife had the gold bars because she's of Lebanese descent
Speaker 1: and the Lebanese love gold, which is a stereotype I
Speaker 1: did not know even existed. Like, doesn't every culture like gold,
Speaker 1: No one's ever Like, oh, I couldn't possibly accept your
Speaker 1: gold bars. My parents are Canadian. Let's turn to some
Speaker 1: news from the culture war. Back in twenty twenty, towns
Speaker 1: across America decided to take down Confederate statues and monuments
Speaker 1: because it was time to move on. Well, now they've
Speaker 1: decided it's time to go back.
Speaker 6: Two schools in Virginia are getting new names. Actually they're
Speaker 6: old names, the names of Confederate officers. The Shenandoah County
Speaker 6: school Board is the first in the nation to revert
Speaker 6: to names from before the racial reckoning of twenty twenty.
Speaker 10: Mountain View High School will be renamed for Confederate General
Speaker 10: Stonewall Jackson Well Honey Run Elementary School will bear the
Speaker 10: names of two Confederate rules, Robert E. Lee and turnaroush Beat.
Speaker 1: Guys, Come on, after all that effort to remove that
Speaker 1: disgusting legacy, we're just putting the Confederate names back. Now.
Speaker 1: It's like asking your doctor to reattach that hairy mole. Oh, like,
Speaker 1: I'm the only one who's ever had a harry mole.
Speaker 1: You know you're out there and if you're wondering who
Speaker 1: are the people who would support this type of move well,
Speaker 1: they're exactly the people that you think it would be.
Speaker 8: Tear down statues, a monuments and the racing history while
Speaker 8: indoctrinating children is exactly what Adolf Hitler did.
Speaker 6: What are not rasis have been We have been tagged
Speaker 6: that we are just because we want a name back
Speaker 6: on the school.
Speaker 7: Please do what's right for center O County or store
Speaker 7: our irrigage, our history in our school names.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's be honest here. This isn't about restoring your
Speaker 1: hair heritage. If it was, then you would name it. Hey,
Speaker 1: my cousin's kind of hot high school. I could make
Speaker 1: that joke because I'm from Kentucky and my cousin is
Speaker 1: kind of hot. We know what you really mean by this,
Speaker 1: But if you want to honor white people, why can't
Speaker 1: you at least pick white people that everybody likes? What
Speaker 1: about Paul Rudd High or Dolly Parton Elementary? Okay, we'll
Speaker 1: even be happy with white people that are just not
Speaker 1: Like how was graduating from Justin Long High? It was fine,
Speaker 1: wasn't great, but it was fine. For more on the
Speaker 1: Confederate name change, we go live to Stonewall Jackson High
Speaker 1: School with Josh Johnson. Josh, what is the what's the there?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 3: Does he have been talking to a lot of people
Speaker 3: who want to change the name back to the confarisee
Speaker 3: in Osley.
Speaker 6: I think we should let him have it.
Speaker 1: But let him have it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, have you seen the guys who are
Speaker 3: arguing for the name change, Like, look at them. They
Speaker 3: look like they've just lost a civil war.
Speaker 11: Like this morning.
Speaker 3: Plus, if you're a middle aged man trying to unrename
Speaker 3: your old high school, you don't have much. These men
Speaker 3: are at school board meetings like we gotta go back
Speaker 3: to the glory days when I want state, Do you
Speaker 3: guys remember that? Anybody please remember that?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But they have to accept that the culture has changed.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sure, but the culture has changed, whether they accept it
Speaker 3: or not. I mean, these people are living in a
Speaker 3: time where all the best musicians are black, all the
Speaker 3: best athletes are black. The only living president with a
Speaker 3: functioning brain is black.
Speaker 11: What black people do.
Speaker 3: Is literally called the culture.
Speaker 11: All right.
Speaker 3: The only place these guys feel like they're winning is
Speaker 3: the first half of a civil rights movie.
Speaker 1: Okay, having a school named after a Confederate general.
Speaker 3: Is racist, exactly, It's just racist enough. Look, America is
Speaker 3: always going to have some baseline of racism. You just
Speaker 3: have to direct it towards stuff that doesn't really matter. Okay,
Speaker 3: if you keep them squabbling over school names, they're not
Speaker 3: going to have the energy to go march in Charlottesville again.
Speaker 3: For example, while they were fighting out for a black
Speaker 3: little Mermaid, I was able to slip into a bank
Speaker 3: and get a mortgage.
Speaker 11: Don't pretty joke.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you're okay with Stonewall Jackson High.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Stonewall Jackson sounds pretty black anyway. Like,
Speaker 3: if you didn't know history, you think that he was
Speaker 3: the one who got all those snakes off that mother plane.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I guess going back to the old name
Speaker 1: is good.
Speaker 3: Wow, DESI that's racist. Sorry, but just a little the
Speaker 3: right amount.
Speaker 9: Okay, why Judy, no job Johnson everyone. When we come back,
Speaker 9: we'll learn about joely have exercise programs to don't go away.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Daily Show. Joe Biden and Donald
Speaker 1: Trump shook up the presidential race yesterday by agreeing to
Speaker 1: two debates, which was pretty surprising. I mean, the only
Speaker 1: thing these two have ever agreed on is that Eric
Speaker 1: Trump is not their son. But what was especially surprising
Speaker 1: was how quickly Trump agreed to the debates despite all
Speaker 1: of Biden's stipulations. He jumped at the offer like it
Speaker 1: was a plea deal with no jail time. And now
Speaker 1: some of Trump's friends are concerned he may have been
Speaker 1: a little too eager.
Speaker 13: Excluding Trump from any input is beyond unfair. It is
Speaker 13: beyond insulting the media mob and Joe Biden. They don't
Speaker 13: get to collude and choose radical Biden's supporting hosts in
Speaker 13: the moderator's chair. That means no fake Jake Tapper.
Speaker 6: Is this a trap for Donald Trump?
Speaker 10: And is he walking right into it?
Speaker 11: How do you feel about it? I worry that it's
Speaker 11: a trap.
Speaker 1: Oh, come on, this isn't a trap for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: A trap for Donald Trump would be more like asking
Speaker 1: him to play for Mary Kill with Milania, Avanka and
Speaker 1: Jessica Rabbit. But as worried as Team Trump might be
Speaker 1: about these debates, Biden's friends might be even more worried.
Speaker 10: I have to talk to some Democrats who do see
Speaker 10: a downside in this, right, Can he actually win a
Speaker 10: debate with somebody like Donald Trump?
Speaker 7: Definitely some people in the Biden camp that don't see that,
Speaker 7: that basically see this as more risky than than not.
Speaker 7: I myself would never recommend going on the stage with
Speaker 7: Donald Trump, but the president has decided that's what he
Speaker 7: wants to do.
Speaker 1: Listen up, mister President. When you get advice from Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker 1: you take it. That's what I always tell my stockbroker,
Speaker 1: what time. There's no way around it. These debates are
Speaker 1: going to be incredibly stressful for Democrats. But maybe there's
Speaker 1: a way to use all that stress to your advantage.
Speaker 12: Hey guys, Michael, here today to introduce you to an
Speaker 12: all new killer workout routine called Joe Biden's Build Bods Better.
Speaker 12: This is the only full body workout that utilizes the
Speaker 12: stress of watching Joe Biden talk to get you looking
Speaker 12: good and most importantly, I'll feeling great and.
Speaker 1: I don't want to.
Speaker 3: I don't want to.
Speaker 12: Maybe choose my words okay, and clinch your ass the
Speaker 12: opposition and release Let's go again.
Speaker 10: The science is simple.
Speaker 12: When exposed to the stress of watching Joe Biden try
Speaker 12: to get through a sentence, the body naturally tightens muscles
Speaker 12: in its core, legs, back, and brain, which burns calories
Speaker 12: tones your body.
Speaker 4: It leaves you feeling totally and utterly exhausted.
Speaker 1: If it sucks, really, word is going to blow the
Speaker 1: election bat and stuff like that.
Speaker 7: I guess clear, my, my dear little bit.
Speaker 12: This complete forty minute non stop workout is an attack
Speaker 12: on your ab legs, PEX trap.
Speaker 11: Tear doctor Lat's pay in mine.
Speaker 10: Let's get through a goddamn sentence. Man, order Joe Biden's
Speaker 10: Build Bod's Better for DVD workout.
Speaker 11: Now we'll throw and Pamela is laughing up the calories
Speaker 11: Volume one.
Speaker 4: It's time to get Jack, Jack.
Speaker 9: And Helen Raymonde joining me on the JOHNO Jove Away.
Speaker 1: All the mac Lady Show.
Speaker 7: My guest to Night.
Speaker 1: Helped run her family farm in England. She has a
Speaker 1: new memoir called The Farmer's Wife, My Life in Days,
Speaker 1: and she's brought one of her farm hands tonight, who
Speaker 1: you might know from other stuff. Please welcome helenry Banks
Speaker 1: and Nick Afferman. Oh my god, what a treat it
Speaker 1: is to have you both here. This is thank you
Speaker 1: for being here so much. Nick. I think most people
Speaker 1: knew you from your brilliant comedic work. You just won
Speaker 1: your first Emmy for the Last of Us, you played
Speaker 1: the president in Civil War, and now somehow on this side,
Speaker 1: you're also a master woodworker.
Speaker 11: I'm an aspiring master woodworker. I know some the masters
Speaker 11: that I take classes from. Would bristle to hear you
Speaker 11: describe me that well?
Speaker 1: I doubt that. I think it's pretty safe to say
Speaker 1: that you were officially a renaissance man.
Speaker 11: I'll take competent.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll settle for that. So how did the two
Speaker 1: of you meet? How did this friendship get started?
Speaker 11: Well?
Speaker 14: I guess social media kind of connected as up initially,
Speaker 14: didn't it. I mean, we were both huge fans of
Speaker 14: the writer Wendel Berry's work, and when we were over
Speaker 14: in Kentucky we did an event my husband was speaking
Speaker 14: with him in Louisville Public Library. And you've been connected
Speaker 14: with the work of Wendell for a long time, you know,
Speaker 14: sharing his work and stories about looking after the land
Speaker 14: and food and farming for a while, and then you
Speaker 14: came to stay when you were in the UK working
Speaker 14: on a project.
Speaker 11: That's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so all of this started on social media.
Speaker 11: That's right. If you want if you want good farming content,
Speaker 11: you go to Twitter.
Speaker 1: Some people go to Twitter for other things. Check my mentions.
Speaker 11: But yeah, I love the great Kentucky writer Wendell Berry
Speaker 11: is the subject matter that drew us together because we're
Speaker 11: all very interested in knowing about our farmers and knowing
Speaker 11: where our food comes from and who's growing it and
Speaker 11: if they care about our health or not, or if
Speaker 11: they care about their profits. And so it was through
Speaker 11: Twitter I befriended them, and I had an acting job
Speaker 11: in Manchester, England with Alex Garland, a show called Devs,
Speaker 11: and that took me very close to them, and I
Speaker 11: started spending weekends there, had some of Helen's cooking and here.
Speaker 2: We are.
Speaker 1: You're cooking that good? I enjoyed your book so much.
Speaker 1: You really walk us through a day in your life,
Speaker 1: all of the daily work that you do taking care
Speaker 1: of a family of six. You're heard of sheep dogs,
Speaker 1: fifty chickens, five hundred sheep. I can barely keep my
Speaker 1: kids goldfish alive. How much coffee and drugs do you
Speaker 1: have to take to get all of your work done?
Speaker 1: That's my main question.
Speaker 14: Oh, it's a way of life on a farm. It's
Speaker 14: I mean, I guess this to me is the hard work,
Speaker 14: like being on doing all this, all the interviews, et cetera.
Speaker 1: It's totally different. I love it.
Speaker 14: I love it from on untill night. It's a completely
Speaker 14: sort of immersive thing to be on a farm. You
Speaker 14: respond to the weather, the livestock, the kids, whatever needs doing.
Speaker 14: And I wrote the book to celebrate the people that
Speaker 14: do that daily kind of mundane work. Really, but to me,
Speaker 14: it's like really important.
Speaker 1: It's such important work, and it really is such a
Speaker 1: beautiful tribute to all the invisible work that so many
Speaker 1: women do all over the world. Was that your intention
Speaker 1: when you came into the book, or were you just
Speaker 1: kind of wanting to tell your personal story, a.
Speaker 14: Bit of both. Really, It's arted off with personal stories
Speaker 14: and recipes and I wanted to leave a collection for
Speaker 14: the kids of what mum makes. And it soon developed
Speaker 14: into kind of a really deep kind of dive into
Speaker 14: like what society tells us women. You know, it's really hard,
Speaker 14: isn't it to figure out a path through and navigate
Speaker 14: how do we have kids and run business and do
Speaker 14: all the things? And I kind of through the stories
Speaker 14: through the writing. It's just been absolutely brilliant to share
Speaker 14: it with readers that have resonated with it and feel seen.
Speaker 14: You know, there's not many books that I felt seen in.
Speaker 14: I read a lot, and I love stories, and yeah.
Speaker 1: It really accomplishes that. And I love how you talk
Speaker 1: about when you were growing up. You grew up on
Speaker 1: a farm, and you always thought this is not what
Speaker 1: I'm going to do, and then you chose differently. You
Speaker 1: chose to follow in the footsteps of your mom and
Speaker 1: your grandmother. Why did you change your mind?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 14: I think love changes a lot of things.
Speaker 1: I felt in love with the farmer. That's how it happens, against.
Speaker 14: All my better judgments. And here, yeah, yeah, yeah, here
Speaker 14: I am. And it wasn't it wasn't initially kind of
Speaker 14: I want to just do the things that my grandma
Speaker 14: and mum had done.
Speaker 7: It's like.
Speaker 1: I'm making art.
Speaker 14: As well through this writing and working and thinking about
Speaker 14: life through the creative projects that I'm doing. So it's
Speaker 14: not just I'm just doing one thing. And I think
Speaker 14: we're all lots of different things, aren't we.
Speaker 11: Yes.
Speaker 1: I love when you when you say in the book,
Speaker 1: I choose this life. I choose this life. And that's
Speaker 1: how I feel as a New Yorker when I see
Speaker 1: someone masturbating on the sixth train, I say, I chose
Speaker 1: this life. This is funny, and I had to live
Speaker 1: with those choices.
Speaker 4: Nick, you.
Speaker 1: You're probably you know, when you're acting and you're on set,
Speaker 1: people take really good care of you. I assume you're
Speaker 1: at this point in your career, mister Offerman. Can I
Speaker 1: hold your umbrella for you? What can I get you from?
Speaker 11: I'm fully molly coddled. It's a contract.
Speaker 1: So was it when you went to do real work
Speaker 1: on Helen's farm? Was that like a was that a
Speaker 1: rude awakening?
Speaker 11: Well? No, that's actually the strange thing that attracted me
Speaker 11: to them, And this subject matter is I grew up
Speaker 11: in a wonderful family in small town Illinois. My mom
Speaker 11: and dad both grew up on farms a few miles
Speaker 11: to each side of where I grew up, and they
Speaker 11: have these incredible work ethics and family values. And so
Speaker 11: even though my life led me to like show business
Speaker 11: and Chicago and then Los Angeles, I still gravitate towards
Speaker 11: like it's like my Disneyland. I crave can I just
Speaker 11: please go to a farm and do the dishes or
Speaker 11: help you shovel some sheep muck? And so, I mean,
Speaker 11: it wasn't something that I like cognitively sought out. It
Speaker 11: happened more more organically, or I said, and I'm really
Speaker 11: attracted to this family. And I showed up and they
Speaker 11: have four kids. I come from a family of four kids,
Speaker 11: and I just tried to subtly adapt myself into the family.
Speaker 1: Didn't work, And he's pretty much did.
Speaker 14: And we had no clue who Nick was when he
Speaker 14: first arrived and he was working on a show call.
Speaker 11: It actually makes me feel really good because I know
Speaker 11: that they're not going to tweet about me.
Speaker 14: They had a big beard and he was bald, and
Speaker 14: he'd been filming on devs so that was, you know,
Speaker 14: a sort of strange look that you were pulling there.
Speaker 14: And then my mom she called in for something and
Speaker 14: she said, who is this guy, Helen?
Speaker 11: Who is this guy?
Speaker 14: He looks like an escape convict. Are you safe tonight?
Speaker 14: You know, are you going to be saying American?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Yeah, And you know she's not too keen on your
Speaker 14: first look, but she's since warmed up peasant shay.
Speaker 11: Thank you. Yeah, yes, she's I've graduated to now I
Speaker 11: look like an escaped invalid.
Speaker 1: Yes, congratulations. So you you worked on Civil War playing
Speaker 1: the President. I imagine that was an incredibly intense film
Speaker 1: to shoot. The second you wrap, did you run to
Speaker 1: the farm immediately?
Speaker 11: Pretty close? Yeah, I mean it's it is very medicinal.
Speaker 11: The thing that I love about the life I grew
Speaker 11: up with and then the life that I experience on
Speaker 11: Helen's farm is is that, in this world of too
Speaker 11: much information and too much fast paced attention deficit, when
Speaker 11: you get into the subject of this book and just
Speaker 11: raising food with your family, preparing that food with your family,
Speaker 11: and just going about the daily life on a farm,
Speaker 11: you suddenly don't need modern distractions like video games or
Speaker 11: bullshit television program Oh yeah, we need.
Speaker 1: Who needs basic cable late night exactly?
Speaker 11: And so for me, I just find that to be
Speaker 11: incredibly palliative. That it's like reading a really good book
Speaker 11: where suddenly the way they live is like a work
Speaker 11: of art and you can you can curate it. And
Speaker 11: it never has to involve shopping for anything online or
Speaker 11: going to the mall, but instead it's just how good
Speaker 11: are your Yorkshire puddings? Suddenly, like, why aren't we all
Speaker 11: living like this?
Speaker 1: Well, if you ever tried my Yorkshire pudding, you would
Speaker 1: know it would be better to just shop online too.
Speaker 1: There are so many incredible recipes in this book. What's
Speaker 1: your favorite recipe to cook?
Speaker 14: I think I like making something that's gonna last us
Speaker 14: for a long time. So I'll cook up a big
Speaker 14: part of like a broth or like a Hamhok broth.
Speaker 14: You've had that before? Having you.
Speaker 11: Please get us? Can we just stop and me a sandwich?
Speaker 1: Get a sandwich?
Speaker 11: Pass out?
Speaker 14: But yeah, something that's going to warm us up after
Speaker 14: a day working outside. I mean, it's old fashioned to
Speaker 14: talk about this kind of thing, isn't it. You know,
Speaker 14: meals around the table and caring for each other and
Speaker 14: connecting and having conversations around a meal. But that's the stuff,
Speaker 14: that's the good stuff. To me, that's like so important
Speaker 14: that we try and encourage our kids to learn how
Speaker 14: to cook, make things and so they can survive out
Speaker 14: there in the world and understand where it's grown, how
Speaker 14: it's grown, and let's ask the questions, the important questions
Speaker 14: about how we're looking after the planet that this food
Speaker 14: comes from.
Speaker 1: Has it changed the way that you look at food
Speaker 1: and how it's produced and what you choose to eat.
Speaker 11: Absolutely. I mean my fascination with agrarian material, starting with
Speaker 11: Wendell Berry and the books of Michael Pollen and Elie
Speaker 11: Waters and many more, are what led me to my
Speaker 11: life with the Rebanks and getting to like help them
Speaker 11: with lambing and actually you know see lambs being born,
Speaker 11: reaching in and doing some assisting. Were we have a
Speaker 11: beef herd that I am an investor in, Yes, and
Speaker 11: so it's the most gorgeous grass fed beef. And so
Speaker 11: not only are these things delicious, but we're trying to.
Speaker 1: Okay, now I need a sandwich.
Speaker 11: Striving to work against the modern idea that our problems
Speaker 11: can be solved with technology instead of just working in
Speaker 11: concert with Mother nature, and so this grass fed beef
Speaker 11: is answering the question of how can we keep the
Speaker 11: soil the most healthy, it holds the most carbon. All
Speaker 11: of these things work together to answer a lot of
Speaker 11: the questions that are plaguing us in modern civilization, and
Speaker 11: you get the most beautiful ribbis at the end of
Speaker 11: the assignment.
