Speaker 1: You find Thanksgiving stressful? No, okay, what is a go ahead?
Speaker 1: Don't take this offensively. Take I'm gonna take it as
Speaker 1: ask me about white people Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2: What is that like? Cosh?
Speaker 1: If there's product in my hair, it must be Tuesday
Speaker 1: Toss show time, Eddie. You guess what what? Thanksgiving? Right
Speaker 1: around the corner? Hit me with the gobble gobble. You
Speaker 1: went authentic? That turkey sounds good? You excited for this Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3: I am excited.
Speaker 2: I love Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: We're sharing it together. We are Oh, our families are
Speaker 1: going to be together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, be thankful. We will watch a lot of football.
Speaker 2: We're gonna watch all nothing but football.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Bears Lions now. Detroit has been playing
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day since are you ready for this? Nineteen
Speaker 1: thirty four. There were only two teams back then. Wow,
Speaker 1: I don't know who the other team was, but Detroit
Speaker 1: was losing on Thanksgiving Day. That was the tradition for
Speaker 1: ninety years. They've lost every single game by double digits. Well,
Speaker 1: this year is going to be different. They're going to
Speaker 1: destroy the Bears. They are on their way to the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Now they won't get to the super Bowl
Speaker 1: this year. They'll probably lose in the first or second round. No,
Speaker 1: they won't lose in the first round because they'll probably
Speaker 1: have a bye.
Speaker 2: But that's good. Yeah, they'll make it to Week two
Speaker 2: of the playoffs and the.
Speaker 1: Town will be like, yeah, that's good enough, Motor City,
Speaker 1: let's build a car.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: The next game is the Giants and Cowboys. These are
Speaker 1: two bottom feeders in the NFC East. They have fallen.
Speaker 1: Cowboys are unwatchable at home, just unwatchable. And the Giants,
Speaker 1: well they got ridish Saquon Bar for Daniel Jones, who's
Speaker 1: now a third stringer. Congratulations, general manager, way to really
Speaker 1: eyeball talent. Now the final game the entree of thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: the reason that we slaughtered the indigenous people, the Dolphins
Speaker 1: versus the Packers. There it is here, it is give thanks,
Speaker 1: and ye shall be thanked upon.
Speaker 2: Yeah I like getting thanked upon. Okay.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins go up to Green Bay, probably the most
Speaker 1: depressing city in America past October thirty. First in the
Speaker 1: overhead shots try to paint it as a cute, quaint town,
Speaker 1: but it is fucking horrible. Thank goodness, it's at night,
Speaker 1: so the Dolphin players won't be super depressed when they
Speaker 1: see the nothingness that is the Green Bay area. Now
Speaker 1: you know that team is owned by the fans, right,
Speaker 1: and that's incredible. I just wish the fans would move
Speaker 1: and then bring the team with them and we could
Speaker 1: have the Monacito Packers.
Speaker 2: That would be fun.
Speaker 1: I wonder how many people have to move from the
Speaker 1: city of Green Bay to bring the team with them.
Speaker 1: What if it's just four or five influential families. So
Speaker 1: you know what, we're thinking of getting a timeshare down
Speaker 1: in Baja. Could we move the Packers to San Jose
Speaker 1: del Cabo. That would be delightful, right, No players are
Speaker 1: going to complain about doing some sweet deep sea fishing,
Speaker 1: you know, and then getting to play a football game
Speaker 1: against the Packers down there in San Jose del Cabo.
Speaker 1: The point is I need to get the green Bay
Speaker 1: Packers out of Green Bay. For a while there they
Speaker 1: were like, you know, two games a year Miaukee.
Speaker 2: That was always silly. Where would I want the Green
Speaker 2: Bay Packers to move? I mean, does it have to
Speaker 2: be near a bay?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it probably doesn't need to be near bay. It's
Speaker 1: not going to Oakland, Maine, Maine. That's a good idea.
Speaker 1: Bring them over to Bar Harbor. Yeah, there you go,
Speaker 1: the Bar Harbor Packers.
Speaker 2: That sounds great. Bring them to Maine.
Speaker 1: Maine is so much more fun to visit than Green Bay.
Speaker 1: Now Appleton, Wisconsin, don't get me started. Love it, Oshkosh,
Speaker 1: love it, Madison, Heaven on Earth, Milwaukee, I'll be honest
Speaker 1: with you. I enjoy it. But green Bay, oh depressing.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. When you're in Green Bay and you're like, Wow,
Speaker 1: this couldn't get any worse, realize there's a whole country
Speaker 1: above you.
Speaker 2: By the way.
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving it's probably, you know, one of the worst holidays.
Speaker 1: But the food. What's your favorite piece of food that day, Eddie?
Speaker 4: I think I like stuffing.
Speaker 2: The stuffing.
Speaker 1: Ah, I'm in your wheelhouse. Mine is the rolls. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I just like the rule. If the roles aren't good,
Speaker 1: I'm furious at the meal and they need to be plentiful.
Speaker 1: I need at least four roles to get me through
Speaker 1: a fucking horrible Thanksgiving meal. And you know where we're
Speaker 1: gonna be, Eddie. We're going to be in the beautiful
Speaker 1: state of Hawaii. We're gonna be in Maui. The roles
Speaker 1: that I want, I want the local roles. I want
Speaker 1: the kings Hawaiian. Yep, so soft those kings Hawaiian. If
Speaker 1: you get the round loaf, that'll make you the best
Speaker 1: French toast you've ever had.
Speaker 2: By the way, if you're gonna do the wishbone, you
Speaker 2: break the wishbone, I do by yourself. Yep, just so
Speaker 2: win either way.
Speaker 1: Good point now me, I got a little strategy with wishbone.
Speaker 1: You gotta grab up real high. You know, you see
Speaker 1: the other person pinching the bottom of it, and it's
Speaker 1: like a sucker. Another thing I'm gonna say about Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: sweet potato cast role. If you put marshmallows on it,
Speaker 1: you know, you might as well sit at the children's table,
Speaker 1: because that's fucking clown food.
Speaker 2: Nobody wants that. All right, let's get into the show.
Speaker 1: Today's guest knows everything about football and Thanksgiving dinner. Enjoy Pasha,
Speaker 1: my guest today is one of those guys who's annoyingly
Speaker 1: good at everything he tries. His resume includes NFL player,
Speaker 1: executive producer, cooking show host, and founder of his own company.
Speaker 1: Please welcome, Chef Drell aka Uncle Rel aka Relly Crocker.
Speaker 2: I love that intro. I'm gonna steal that. How are
Speaker 2: you well? I'm good. How about yourself? I'm well? Thank you?
Speaker 2: How many people call you Relly Crocker? A couple? They
Speaker 2: only know me from Instagram? Not many? Question Darrell, Okay,
Speaker 2: do you believe in ghosts? Yes?
Speaker 1: You ever seen a ghost? I felt ghost? I haven't
Speaker 1: seen him before.
Speaker 2: Have you always believed in ghost or did something happen
Speaker 2: you're like now? I believe.
Speaker 3: I think gradually over time you hear the rumors as
Speaker 3: a child, but then as you grow older, you start
Speaker 3: to feeling me.
Speaker 1: You know, we're not alone, can't be I believe we're alone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're originally from Philly? Yes you were jumped yep. So
Speaker 1: I much like the Fresh Prince.
Speaker 2: Just like the Fresh Prince.
Speaker 3: I actually grew up in Overbrook, where he's from as well.
Speaker 2: And I went to a school called Lamberton.
Speaker 3: And one day at lunch we had this big mound
Speaker 3: of snow and we had a snowball fight and I
Speaker 3: hit this kid in the face with a snowball and
Speaker 3: he was a part of this gang.
Speaker 2: Our school was K through twelve, so he k through
Speaker 2: twelve is a horrible idea.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I agree with that, and this kid he was
Speaker 3: part of this gang, hit him in the face. Couple
Speaker 3: weeks later, he's like, man, we're fighting, all right, I
Speaker 3: bet so. We uh. We went to this place called
Speaker 3: the News Book, which was across the street from the
Speaker 3: library near Lamberton, and he was there with all his
Speaker 3: gang and everybody's in a circle, and me and him
Speaker 3: one on one, and I whooped his ass and then
Speaker 3: nobody jumped in. Nobody jumped in for a couple of minutes, okay,
Speaker 3: and then they felt bad for him, I guess, and
Speaker 3: they came out of everywhere. First somebody hit me in
Speaker 3: the back of the head, and somebody came from this way.
Speaker 3: Somebody came from this way, and they stole my book
Speaker 3: bag with Pokemon cards in it. How many pokemons look
Speaker 3: like a binder of Pokemon cards.
Speaker 2: I just looked.
Speaker 1: Went to get some Pokemon cards from my kid the
Speaker 1: other day, literally, and they're like, oh, we don't sell
Speaker 1: small packs. We just have this big pack and it's
Speaker 1: eighty dollars. So I go, I said, no, thank you,
Speaker 1: I'm not spending eighty dollars my kid. It's crazy. What
Speaker 1: grade were you in during this jump? The seventh grade man,
Speaker 1: and what grade was he? We were all in seventh grade.
Speaker 3: Oh, he was in seventh grade too, so the the
Speaker 3: bigger gang was in eleventh grade. So the young gang
Speaker 3: was seventh grade. We were all seventh graders. The big
Speaker 3: gang was was eleventh grade. I remember my sister was
Speaker 3: trying to jump in the fight. She had to be
Speaker 3: around like six seven at that time, and my friends
Speaker 3: are holding back my young sister.
Speaker 2: Long story short, my parents sued.
Speaker 3: So if we got money, I love those Pokemon cards,
Speaker 3: hopefully at least eighty dollars for the for the Pokemon
Speaker 3: cards I had.
Speaker 2: Fighting has never been my thing.
Speaker 1: I've always been like if in school as a child,
Speaker 1: there was like there was a kid that would I
Speaker 1: could tell he wanted to fight and would instigate with me,
Speaker 1: and you always hear of like kind of tougher parents
Speaker 1: and oh, don't back down. I had parents are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can back down, just don't who cares if you
Speaker 1: don't want to do it, just like you do, don't
Speaker 1: want to get in trouble, just walk away, it's okay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I did. I always was like, hey, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna fight. That's admirable. Well it might be I felt
Speaker 1: like a pussy quite a bit. But you know, there's
Speaker 1: there's worse things than worked out. And then they moved you.
Speaker 2: To Delaware, Delaware. What was life like in Delaware when
Speaker 2: you first move that were like, oh, this is different.
Speaker 2: Delaware is different.
Speaker 3: It's interesting because in Philadelphia it's very segregated. So you
Speaker 3: got black community, got white community, got rich folks, non
Speaker 3: rich folks, whereas in Delaware, everybody's forced to be together,
Speaker 3: and it's beautiful, like it's a it's a cool place.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of farmland, no taxes, so everything's cheap.
Speaker 1: Gas is super cheap. I know nothing about Delaware really,
Speaker 1: although I did date one girl from Delaware. She's Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, now that I think about her. Is she
Speaker 1: a farmer?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: And she's from Delaware, but she has sisteric fibrosis. Oh okay,
Speaker 3: that was bad. Okay, I got you anyway. I met
Speaker 3: in Philly. Anyway, all right, you were a star athlete
Speaker 3: in high school? Oh yeah, When did that start? When
Speaker 3: did you feel.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, I'm different, I'm better than the rest of
Speaker 1: these kids that I'm playing with.
Speaker 3: At birth, so my biological father played football at Cheney.
Speaker 2: I remember as a kid.
Speaker 3: We would play catch and every time I dropped the ball,
Speaker 3: he make me do five push ups. And around seven
Speaker 3: years old, my stepfather came into my life and he
Speaker 3: put me in organized football. And once I got in
Speaker 3: organized football, I wasn't scared to get hit. When you
Speaker 3: play football. Once you get hit that that first time,
Speaker 3: either you say I like this or I don't like this,
Speaker 3: and I liked it, and so after that you just
Speaker 3: keep getting better and better. And by the time I
Speaker 3: got to high school, I was salivating at the mouth.
Speaker 2: You're running back all through high school. Only in high school.
Speaker 3: Actually, growing up, I was a center, and once I
Speaker 3: got to high school never carried the ball in my life.
Speaker 3: My coach was like, man, we were gonna turn you
Speaker 3: into a running back. And by my senior year, I
Speaker 3: was the number one rank player in the state. I
Speaker 3: was Gatoray Player of the Year, got a full scholarship
Speaker 3: to Syracuse.
Speaker 2: And that was Delaware, right, Delaware. It ain't Florida.
Speaker 3: But if I would have been in Florida, I would
Speaker 3: I would have got Gtoray Player of the Year too.
Speaker 2: All right, did you play you played sports? No? No,
Speaker 2: I could see he was a kicker or even a
Speaker 2: wide receiver.
Speaker 1: No, I think a wide receiver that would have been
Speaker 1: nicer to lead with that. No, extremely athletic, but didn't
Speaker 1: play football.
Speaker 2: And you're tall too. Punters are tall. Fuck hunters, dog
Speaker 2: don't care? Oh, fair enough?
Speaker 1: Football is not my thing. Love it, love watching it,
Speaker 1: no desire to play it. You know what killed me
Speaker 1: with team sports? I always liked the individual sports. I
Speaker 1: hated listening to coaches give me the raw raw thing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, I get it, we need to have
Speaker 1: more points at the end of the game.
Speaker 2: Is that the objective? Coach? Got it?
Speaker 1: So I never enjoyed losing because of knuckleheads.
Speaker 2: Fair enough, Oh, I hated it. Were you a swimmer man?
Speaker 1: I did surfing okay, Okay, I competed there a little
Speaker 1: bit for a while. I liked, you know all those things.
Speaker 1: I like tennis. Yeah, No, granted, I live for watching football.
Speaker 1: Who's your team?
Speaker 2: The Dolphins? Okay? You think two? I should have walked?
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, that's not something to play with too young.
Speaker 3: I'm thirty six. I'm pretty sure once I get to
Speaker 3: like forty five, my body or hurt even more. And
Speaker 3: I didn't even play longer in the NFL right when
Speaker 3: at adrenaline is flowing and you fill in vincible. When
Speaker 3: you're young, it's all fine and dandy. But when the
Speaker 3: ogs tell you how they feel. You see people who
Speaker 3: retire from the NFL walking with canes or impression sleeves
Speaker 3: on their knees or wonky and like gott.
Speaker 2: To make their food blended. Its different. That's a different experience, man,
Speaker 2: You gotta listen.
Speaker 1: Syracuse is it considered prestigious amongst safety schools?
Speaker 2: Amongst safety schools? What does that mean? It's throwing shade.
Speaker 3: I would say, now that I live in LA, I
Speaker 3: would say Syracuse is the USC of the East, like
Speaker 3: a private school in the middle of the ghetto. But
Speaker 3: the only difference is our students don't stay in Syracuse,
Speaker 3: whereas USC students probably stay in LA.
Speaker 2: Our students just go back to New York City.
Speaker 3: But in terms of prestigiousness, Syracuse is our network is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Now did you know Pete Relia You were a freshman
Speaker 1: at Syracuse when he was a senior he works on
Speaker 1: this show. No really, no, I didn't know him. Oh man,
Speaker 1: he was a big man on campus.
Speaker 2: So I love that.
Speaker 1: By the way, what was it like being a star
Speaker 1: athlete at a Division I school. Were you just swimming
Speaker 1: in women?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Did you cook a lot in your kitchen on
Speaker 2: South Campus? Yes?
Speaker 3: I would actually cook for my teammates. I remember one
Speaker 3: time we cooked for some lady friends that came over.
Speaker 3: I never fried chicken.
Speaker 2: It's a mess. It's a mess.
Speaker 3: But if you put the heat too high, it'll give
Speaker 3: the illusion that it's done.
Speaker 2: When it's not. Oh no, So this kick this chicken
Speaker 2: I fried.
Speaker 3: It came out perfect golden brown, and when they went
Speaker 3: to bite into.
Speaker 2: It, everybody got salmonilla. Possibly. Do you ever ship yourself
Speaker 2: as an adult?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: As an adult, I've never shipped myself.
Speaker 3: But I remember when I was in school one time
Speaker 3: I went to wipe and a little gut on my finger,
Speaker 3: and uh, and it got on my shirt and I
Speaker 3: had to go back to class.
Speaker 2: Oh man, and I had to like take on my
Speaker 2: shirt and like wash it, put it under the dry.
Speaker 2: It's no good. That's no good at all. I mean,
Speaker 2: how old was this. I was probably about like twenty one,
Speaker 2: twenty two.
Speaker 1: Oh oh geez, okay, all right, it's embarrassing. You made
Speaker 1: it to the NFL. By the way, your first year
Speaker 1: you didn't get drafted, but you made it to a
Speaker 1: team and you were the Bucks.
Speaker 2: Yep, practice squad. What's the practice squad make? Not much?
Speaker 3: They make probably make like nine thousand every two weeks
Speaker 3: back then.
Speaker 1: Is actually a good money. It's great money, but it's
Speaker 1: not life changing. You never have to work again. Money
Speaker 1: obviously nine thousand for two is that just during the season.
Speaker 2: During the season. You don't get paid in the off season. Okay.
Speaker 3: But I went to school in off season, so I
Speaker 3: was I was okay, and then I went back to Syracuse,
Speaker 3: finished up my masters during the off seasons, and then
Speaker 3: I would just fly back to By my second year,
Speaker 3: I was with Houston, So I flew back to Houston,
Speaker 3: played on the team, and then off season would just
Speaker 3: go back to school finish up. What was your playing
Speaker 3: weight with the Bucks. I was in a four to three,
Speaker 3: so I was about two thirty. The linebackers are super
Speaker 3: small there. And wait and your way today two forty
Speaker 3: less muscle. You want to not have that cane at fifty. Well,
Speaker 3: I ride a bike now, so I ride a bike
Speaker 3: a lot. I had two knee surgeries in college.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: The way I ended my career is in practice, I
Speaker 3: uh compressed one of my vertebrates. Put my neck down
Speaker 3: when I hit somebody and uh compressed a vertebrae. So
Speaker 3: that still is painful. But like this morning, I did
Speaker 3: some yoga.
Speaker 1: If I could right now snap my fingers and get
Speaker 1: you to the weight that you wanted to be, what
Speaker 1: would it be this one? I look good, Well, you
Speaker 1: look good, but to forty is still a lot of
Speaker 1: weight to carry around. Yeah, on the knees, especially new knees.
Speaker 1: I'm big bone, So that's not a thing. If you
Speaker 1: see my lady, her bones are like this big, like her.
Speaker 2: Arms like you can look at her.
Speaker 1: I just showed you your skeleton. I'm gonna let you
Speaker 1: know it's not different.
Speaker 2: Is it the same? Yes, it's the same. I don't
Speaker 2: believe that I would have to see what I have
Speaker 2: to see this.
Speaker 3: I feel my bone. That's a boone. That's a big
Speaker 3: ass arm. But that bone is in there. I know
Speaker 3: it's big. You're telling me you're bone the same size
Speaker 3: as my bones?
Speaker 2: Probably, really, am I wrong? I'm looking at science. It's
Speaker 2: not it's not that different. I'm seeing. Big bone is
Speaker 2: a thing. Big bone is a thing, says, it's not
Speaker 2: a medical term, but it's it's just a thing. People
Speaker 2: have bigger bones.
Speaker 3: Some people have big okay, but is it like drastically bigger.
Speaker 3: But you see my lady in me, my bones are
Speaker 3: much bigger.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well that's male female. Maybe it's I'm maybe male
Speaker 1: to man. Maybe how brutal is the NFL? Describe what
Speaker 1: it feels like when you're just going against another top athlete,
Speaker 1: just collisions.
Speaker 2: What does that feel like?
Speaker 3: NFL is brutal, but everybody there is prepared for that.
Speaker 3: The NFL is the best professionals in the world, and
Speaker 3: so a hit, it's a hit, but it's a perfect
Speaker 3: form hit, and everybody practice is perfect form. They practice
Speaker 3: coming in, being in the right position, and so it's
Speaker 3: not necessarily painful. Yes, yes it is painful because it
Speaker 3: just by nature, a hit is painful. But as a professional,
Speaker 3: you know how to do it right the right way.
Speaker 3: You know how to take a hit the right way,
Speaker 3: and it's not as bad as it sometimes looks or seems.
Speaker 3: It's just the fact that everybody is so good and
Speaker 3: so big. The injuries happen like those things will just
Speaker 3: happen because that's the nature.
Speaker 2: Of the game.
Speaker 3: But most of the time you practice the right form,
Speaker 3: right things, so it's not as bad.
Speaker 2: As it seems.
Speaker 1: That seems scary, man, it seems fast, very fast.
Speaker 2: Are you still quick? Oh yeah, I'm an athlete at heart.
Speaker 1: I feel like you feel like if you get out
Speaker 1: there right now, you feel like you would be good
Speaker 1: for a game.
Speaker 3: I don't know, no, no, not even one play because
Speaker 3: those are those are elite athletes. I'm not an alst athlete,
Speaker 3: but I'll say this, if you and me were to race,
Speaker 3: there is the athlete in me would make sure that
Speaker 3: unless you super fast, and.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty quick, you are. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I raised the fastest uh uh Paralympia and with no legs.
Speaker 2: I smoked him nice.
Speaker 1: But I raised him with his blades in the sand,
Speaker 1: so he didn't stand it.
Speaker 2: He thought he could we That's that's a strategy, man. Listen.
Speaker 2: I didn't pick. I did pick the place.
Speaker 1: My mother, her whole life, she's always told me she's like,
Speaker 1: I could be a running back. She's like, I just
Speaker 1: have the ability to get out of the way to
Speaker 1: this this. This woman's like eighty years old, and she's
Speaker 1: like I could. I can still, I know I could
Speaker 1: do it. I'll tell you this.
Speaker 3: If I was a linebacker and I saw your mom,
Speaker 3: I would light up, light her up.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, something old. Go through that again, killer,
Speaker 2: I can't believe tear my mom's ass up, Jared Man.
Speaker 1: When your career ends in the NFL and you're not
Speaker 1: a star player, how do they take care of role
Speaker 1: players or people that have small role on the team
Speaker 1: post the NFL?
Speaker 2: Is it nothing? That is like? All right?
Speaker 3: So yeah, NFL Players Union does a good job because
Speaker 3: anybody who makes it to the NFL, that's not that's
Speaker 3: hard to do.
Speaker 2: It's not easy.
Speaker 3: I don't care if you're practice squad or whatever level
Speaker 3: you're at. NFLPA does a good job of protecting anybody
Speaker 3: who makes it to the NFL. So, now, for instance,
Speaker 3: I get fifty percent off Cohon shoes because I'm a
Speaker 3: part of the NFL.
Speaker 2: I know, right, how's it comfortable? That's a very comfortable shit.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, So like things like that, you you still get discounts.
Speaker 3: They still they're like insurance plans that you can get
Speaker 3: through the NFLPA. And so I'll say that the NFLPA,
Speaker 3: they do a really good job of taking care of
Speaker 3: everybody who makes it to the NFL. NFL, I don't know,
Speaker 3: Like that's a different into and once you're out of
Speaker 3: the league.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's their problem. An Do you like
Speaker 2: football now?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I like watching college football more than NFL.
Speaker 3: I'll actually be in Syracuse this weekend.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I like being on the sideline. The energy of a
Speaker 3: stadium is like none other, and that Syracuse is cool
Speaker 3: because we have probably one of the loudest stadiums in
Speaker 3: the country. We have a dome, and being on the
Speaker 3: sideline of a game. I still love it, still love it.
Speaker 2: So who's your favorite pro team? Els? Die Hard? Diehard ego?
Speaker 2: So's Eddie? Oh oh yeah? Sing it Eddie?
Speaker 1: Hey g Sly Eagles singing weird ego story?
Speaker 2: All right? You know, I always liked Barry Sanders.
Speaker 1: When he was interviewed when I was a kid, They're like,
Speaker 1: do you ever watch football? He's like nope, And he's
Speaker 1: like you ever seen the Super Bowl? He's like nope.
Speaker 1: He wasn't into football. Some people like that, but he
Speaker 1: made it to the top of the profession and was like, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm great at this. It's given me a wonderful life,
Speaker 1: and I respect that. But I mean it. The two
Speaker 1: don't have to go hand in hand. You don't have
Speaker 1: to love what you're great at.
Speaker 2: You know, it's wild.
Speaker 3: I'm a chef now and I love food. I love
Speaker 3: to cook food, but I don't eat out a lot
Speaker 3: like I don't. I don't necessarily go to a bunch
Speaker 3: of restaurants. I appreciate really good food.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you can make good food, so whun.
Speaker 3: But that's that's the same as going on because I
Speaker 3: can't make good food. But that's the same as Barry
Speaker 3: Sanders like he of course he could. He could make
Speaker 3: good plays, but he doesn't necessarily watch good plays. Is
Speaker 3: more so to him, I would say in relation to it,
Speaker 3: food for me is a feeling. It's not something where
Speaker 3: it's an obsession. Like I'm not obsessed with it, but
Speaker 3: I'm good at it. It's kind of spews out of
Speaker 3: me the same way Barry Sanders played football. It's kind
Speaker 3: of the same way that I kind of do food now,
Speaker 3: And so I could, I can. I can appreciate his
Speaker 3: stance on not watching the game but still being great
Speaker 3: at it.
Speaker 1: I mean to make it at the top and then
Speaker 1: walk away. I think I think you did pretty good. Oh,
Speaker 1: hell yeah. Talk to me about after you finished football.
Speaker 1: You had finished getting your masters at Syracuse, and then
Speaker 1: you went to work for a bunch of agencies throughout
Speaker 1: the YEP.
Speaker 3: So I worked in advertising. I have a master's degree
Speaker 3: in advertising. After college, went to Boulder, Colorado, worked as
Speaker 3: an intern in production, and then I moved to New
Speaker 3: York City.
Speaker 1: Talk about the women in Boulder, Colorado. Harry, Oh, but kind,
Speaker 1: Harry kind.
Speaker 2: But in shoelass. Yeah. How did you get into meatballs?
Speaker 3: One day after class, I made a really good recipe
Speaker 3: when I'm out of the air, had everything in the fridge.
Speaker 3: I remember making it and calling my best friend like, yo,
Speaker 3: come over, we got a winner, man and uh and
Speaker 3: but at the time I had an Italian girlfriend. Okay,
Speaker 3: One time her me Ma made meatballs for New Year's
Speaker 3: which was like a special time, Like she never made meatballs.
Speaker 3: She would only make them for like special occasions. And
Speaker 3: they were like yo, me my main beatballs. And everybody
Speaker 3: was like super hype about it. And I remember eating
Speaker 3: this meatball and I was like, I didn't know meat
Speaker 3: balls could taste this way.
Speaker 2: Like I mind, we're good When I tried it. Uh.
Speaker 2: The sauce was really the driver.
Speaker 3: But when I tasted that meatball, I knew the potential
Speaker 3: of a meatball. And after that, I just like I
Speaker 3: became obsessed with meatballs. And over time I practiced it
Speaker 3: so much and I got so good at it that
Speaker 3: I would just I would bring it into my goal
Speaker 3: work because I.
Speaker 2: Knew it was good. Where were you working at the time.
Speaker 3: I was in New York City at an agency called
Speaker 3: three sixty. I and my boss there was a competition
Speaker 3: coming up, meatball competition coming up, and she was like, Yo,
Speaker 3: these meatballs you bringing, you should enter them in this competition.
Speaker 2: And I did.
Speaker 3: I won, and I started the company and also bought.
Speaker 2: You a little gift.
Speaker 3: We started the Maize Balls based on the it's for
Speaker 3: the fridge as Grandma.
Speaker 2: That's you, that's your grandma. That is is based on
Speaker 2: women in my family. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: The idea is that whenever you eat my food, it
Speaker 3: makes you feel as though Grandma made it.
Speaker 2: Maaze balls and matches the colors.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. I don't, I can't. I
Speaker 1: don't have a fridge. It's clauded in the wood, the same.
Speaker 2: As the cabinets. That's cool. Yeah, that's nice. I believe it.
Speaker 2: That's cool. Thank you very much, very welcome.
Speaker 1: N No one in here ever brings anything in other
Speaker 1: than a receipt to be like reimbursed.
Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
Speaker 1: So how did you transition from making these people enjoy
Speaker 1: it winning a or was winning the contest where you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I can make this my full time job being a chef.
Speaker 3: Not necessarily when I'm When I won the competition, I
Speaker 3: still had a job, right, but I knew that if
Speaker 3: these people liked it, all we need is more people
Speaker 3: to taste it, and more people would like it.
Speaker 1: You did a pop up while you were still working,
Speaker 1: and we're pumping out thousands.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I worked at UH.
Speaker 3: I worked in advertising, but then on the weekends there
Speaker 3: was something called Smorgensberg.
Speaker 2: Have you heard heard of it?
Speaker 3: So Smorgasburg la versus Morgasburg Brooklyn two totally different experiences.
Speaker 2: At that time, I.
Speaker 3: Would say it was probably harder to get into Smortgagsburg
Speaker 3: than it was to get into Harvard. Like, this thing
Speaker 3: was very competitive, ten thousand people per day, every single weekend.
Speaker 3: And meanwhile, when I started making metballs, I'd only made meatballs,
Speaker 3: maybe like ten people here we are like making meatballs
Speaker 3: for thousands of people every weekend.
Speaker 2: How many people did you have to help you? Two?
Speaker 3: I had my girlfriend at the time, and then my
Speaker 3: sister would come up from Delaware and help me roll meatballs.
Speaker 2: And I had four roommates.
Speaker 1: Always had your back, always had my back since six
Speaker 1: years old, trying to jump and scrap back man.
Speaker 2: Shout out to my sister deschante. Did you have the
Speaker 2: oven space for this? No? But you, I mean, if
Speaker 2: you really want something, you make it work. No, I
Speaker 2: just now.
Speaker 1: I always just appreciate people with that type of drive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I had drive at some point
Speaker 1: in my life. I just don't remember.
Speaker 2: I grew up watching Tosh point zero. I remember that
Speaker 2: show right.
Speaker 3: Like, Like, as an artist, whatever your form of art
Speaker 3: is or whatever your form of expression is, you figure
Speaker 3: out ways just like to do it. I don't know
Speaker 3: if before times point out, I don't know if you're
Speaker 3: getting like.
Speaker 2: Big ass checks, but it was probably days.
Speaker 4: Where you were like poor or like damn, I don't know,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pay rent, but fuck it, I'm still gonna
Speaker 4: put out this piece of art because people want it,
Speaker 4: and it's a form of expression that I have to
Speaker 4: get out.
Speaker 3: I can't explain why I have to get it out,
Speaker 3: but I have to get it out. And for me,
Speaker 3: I feel as though meat balls was that thing. It
Speaker 3: sounds crazy, but I knew I was really good at it,
Speaker 3: and I knew from this competition I was the best
Speaker 3: at it, at least in my region.
Speaker 2: And so I did what I had to do.
Speaker 3: And now I could look back at it and say,
Speaker 3: like that was crazy. I would never do it again now,
Speaker 3: But in the moment when you have to do something,
Speaker 3: that was what it was. I had to get my
Speaker 3: food out to the masses, and we did some crazy
Speaker 3: shit to get to it, but I did it.
Speaker 2: You ever had IKEA's meat palls a tasty? Are they good?
Speaker 2: I'll be honest.
Speaker 1: I know about them just because of pop culture, but
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever had IKEA's meatballs.
Speaker 3: They're good with the with the mashed potatoes, gravy, and
Speaker 3: I think it's Lindenberry that is delicious, and.
Speaker 2: They're like a dollar for like twenty. They're tasty. Man,
Speaker 2: what are they doing over there?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: Se are your meatballs in stores?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Not yet. Okay. Is that a plan potentially in the future,
Speaker 2: would you'd be okay with that?
Speaker 1: Oh you're not? Like, no, I don't. I want to
Speaker 1: do it this whatever version smaller?
Speaker 2: No you?
Speaker 1: So, how'd you land a cooking show on Taste Made Again?
Speaker 1: Your career is fascinating?
Speaker 3: After Meatballs Smorgasberg, I was let go from that job,
Speaker 3: so they made it easy to do a full time
Speaker 3: That was April twenty seventeen and bed Back Beyond in
Speaker 3: Subseid Park because they had opened up a studio kitchen,
Speaker 3: first of his kind in America, and their resident chef
Speaker 3: had retired before that. They had me come into a
Speaker 3: demonstration to demo the meatballs. They liked it, like my personality,
Speaker 3: and so they brought me back to take over his
Speaker 3: job as resident chef at Bed bath Beyond Sunset Park.
Speaker 2: This is not like, not every bed Bathroom Beyond has this.
Speaker 2: There's only one. Only one. Yep.
Speaker 1: There's like a full working kitchen. You can come in
Speaker 1: and just see somebody and they're filming this.
Speaker 3: They have cameras, whole whole audience, live audience, and I
Speaker 3: would cook the food and they would film it, and
Speaker 3: I owned the content. A friend of mine who was
Speaker 3: at Taste Made saw it, passed it on to their team.
Speaker 3: They reached out to me, came out here, did some
Speaker 3: content with them, and then over the years we just
Speaker 3: kept building a relationship. Twenty twenty hit everything shut down.
Speaker 3: By this time, A Maze Balls, which is the company
Speaker 3: we were in Smorgensburg again got back into Smorgasburg. We
Speaker 3: had a licensing deal with Levery Restaurants at Barclay Center,
Speaker 3: and we were also doing corporate catering at offices around
Speaker 3: the city.
Speaker 2: And so I was like, move to La Why not.
Speaker 3: I want to get out of Brooklyn's tight here it's
Speaker 3: everybody everything shut down. When I moved to La, I
Speaker 3: had to shoot with Taste Made During lunch. They were like, yo,
Speaker 3: we went off your TV show. I was like, all right, oh,
Speaker 3: I like that, and so we came up with the
Speaker 3: show Shout It a few months later, and then season
Speaker 3: two came, Season three came.
Speaker 1: We just how about the producers where they understand what
Speaker 1: they were doing with you? You would go off the rails
Speaker 1: and absolutely and they couldn't.
Speaker 2: They didn't really know how to capture that gold.
Speaker 3: Is that there kind of I would say, it's like
Speaker 3: show that I have kind of like this, like you're prepared, right,
Speaker 3: you have notes, but along the way you just kind
Speaker 3: of like riffed off and you.
Speaker 1: Threestyle talking about fucking getting shit on our fingers exactly.
Speaker 3: But with the show, it's the same thing, like they
Speaker 3: give you kind of a guardrail, but then once you
Speaker 3: get into the moment, like a different character comes out.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is like any anybody who
Speaker 2: goes on film.
Speaker 3: Like whatever, your your caricature, like the big personality, big whatever,
Speaker 3: that's what comes out on camera. And I really can't
Speaker 3: control it. And so we would just be in the
Speaker 3: film room and whatever came to mind, I'll just say
Speaker 3: it and sometimes they keep it, sometimes they take it out.
Speaker 2: But did you have to fight for stuff? Oh? Yeah.
Speaker 3: By my second season, I got an executive producer credit,
Speaker 3: so I was able to kind of come in and
Speaker 3: be like, no, let's keep that.
Speaker 1: Your catchphrases were unlike anything I've ever heard on a
Speaker 1: cooking program yet included my god, I'm gonna tear your
Speaker 1: ass up.
Speaker 2: And that's the stuff. That's it, man. You can't have
Speaker 2: a catch phrase I'm gonna tear your ass up. Man.
Speaker 2: Stinctual too. I love it.
Speaker 3: Most of the time you eat, you want to say it,
Speaker 3: but you never hear people on TV say those.
Speaker 2: Most of the time you see a cooking show. Hi, y'all,
Speaker 2: we're here to make some cone brit.
Speaker 3: But in my TV show, like, I'd rather just give
Speaker 3: you my real personality versus giving you the standard cooking
Speaker 3: show template.
Speaker 2: Tell it how it is you find Thanksgiving stressful? No?
Speaker 2: You cook sometimes? Have I got a special way you
Speaker 2: do the turkey?
Speaker 3: Or no, I'll Brian my turkeys, and then I do
Speaker 3: low and slow, and then the final hour, I'll put
Speaker 3: a little salt on the crust, on the skin, crisp
Speaker 3: it up, turn up the heat, and then.
Speaker 2: Come on nice and brown. I don't do any of
Speaker 2: it crispy. That sounds good, Yeah, that sounds good.
Speaker 1: I like a traditional Thanksgiving meal, but I have no
Speaker 1: desire to do it.
Speaker 2: What is a go ahead? Don't take this offensively.
Speaker 1: Take I'm gonna take it as ask me about white
Speaker 1: people Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2: What is that like.
Speaker 4: It?
Speaker 1: Do you have like canny yams? Or is it pumpkin?
Speaker 1: I fucking hate pumpkin almost of any kind. Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't even like pumpkin. Pie is disgusting.
Speaker 2: Same.
Speaker 1: No, I all the you know, the green bean cast roll,
Speaker 1: the fried onions on top of the cream of mushroom
Speaker 1: soup inside it, the mashed potatoes and gravy, the yams,
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. The sweet potatoes. We'll do all that.
Speaker 1: Get a little individual crock pot of the sweet potatoes.
Speaker 1: I like that if the chef is whipping something like
Speaker 1: that up.
Speaker 3: What about music? Do you play like certain? Do you
Speaker 3: have like a playlist for for Thanksgiving? No, not a playlist,
Speaker 3: but I like to have some music on it all times.
Speaker 3: And then I'll out of respect for the family, I
Speaker 3: will mute the football.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Same when we eat, my mom makes us mute.
Speaker 3: The football, which is but luckily, like where we sit,
Speaker 3: you can kind of still see the game.
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, that's that's same, Miles. We mute the football. Now,
Speaker 2: look at that. We're not that different. Look at that.
Speaker 2: And no pumpkin, that was a surprise. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to live. But I'm sure a lot of people love
Speaker 2: the pumpkin. Yeah, I don't like pumpkin half and half.
Speaker 1: Speaking of your grandmother before, what what did she cook
Speaker 1: that you would miss?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: My my grandma was from the South so grits, grits.
Speaker 3: She cooked a lot of grits. Since that's my it's
Speaker 3: kind of like my default. I could eat grits with anything.
Speaker 3: I'll put meatballs on grits, oh yeah, or approve.
Speaker 2: Of that, Yeah, grits, catfish.
Speaker 3: My mom actually makes the best mac and cheese I've
Speaker 3: ever had, so like Southern style food for big bone people.
Speaker 1: Everyone says that they have like the best mac and
Speaker 1: cheese thing, And then I tasted in my gap, right,
Speaker 1: it's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how it's not that different. It's not.
Speaker 3: But I think it's just nostalgia. Okay, I would say
Speaker 3: the thing. Once it feels like oh yeah, once it
Speaker 3: feels like home. There's a there's a frequency that comes
Speaker 3: through the food when you taste and like, yep, that's it.
Speaker 2: You ever had a Chitlin? Have I had Chetling's Eddie? Don't?
Speaker 2: I don't think you have. I don't think I have. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've only had him once, but uh, don't eat those
Speaker 2: talk about these crazy parties that he used to cater.
Speaker 3: I remember this one party I did at the Chelsea Hotel.
Speaker 3: It was my doctor at the time. He was my chiropractor.
Speaker 3: Him and his partner would do these underground weed and
Speaker 3: burlesque parties, and so he invited me to it, and
Speaker 3: he was like, oh, we would like to be to
Speaker 3: cater it. And they tell me the location of a
Speaker 3: day of and so I pull up to the hotel
Speaker 3: and I have this. Uh my sous chef was like
Speaker 3: the super Christian lady, like old school Christian lady, guarantee
Speaker 3: she'd never seen anything like this. So we go into
Speaker 3: the party and we're next door to the dressing room

Speaker 3: food and people walking in. Everybody's mad skin like suits
Speaker 3: and shit like that, and uh, it's a sex party.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't a sex party.
Speaker 3: It was a bird less party, but we weren't in
Speaker 3: the main room, so we don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just people coming in.
Speaker 3: They're masked up, and uh, we're serving the food that
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, everybody goes in there and they
Speaker 3: take their seat, and out of this room comes like

Speaker 1: got drafted number one, and then said no, thank you,
Speaker 1: I'm not playing. That'll be lovely in fairness that what
Speaker 1: really did happen. Charlie Ward, Yeah, he got the Heisman,

Speaker 3: my form of meditation versus it being like I'm going
Speaker 3: to this destination and trying to be a douche and
Speaker 3: take over lane. I like to be in a cut.
Speaker 3: I'll ride on the beach, not near cars. Especially in LA.
Speaker 3: These people drive crazy. We got text to send out,
Speaker 3: that's a fact.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 1: A lady was sending text right next to me. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I hit a guy on a bike once. When I
Speaker 1: was first moved to lah. He was riding and I
Speaker 1: wasn't going fast, but I turned into a gas station
Speaker 1: and he was going straight and I clipped him, knocked
Speaker 1: him off the bike, and he was he probably was unhoused. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he jumped off his bike, looked at me and just
Speaker 1: goes a and got on his bike and rode away.
