1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: And welcome back to another episode of American Gravy. I'm 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,439 Speaker 1: chef Andrew Grohl. 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 2: And I'm Lauren Grol And we're back. 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: With the only show where we mix food, family, and 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: freedom in the same pot. And as Lauren likes to say, 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: somehow we don't burn it, or sometimes we do burn it. 7 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: We'll find out. You guys are about to find out 8 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: as well. So we've had a great week and we 9 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: are excited to have you back. Laura and I have been, 10 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: you know, navigating through the Halloween slash Thanksgiving season. Can 11 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: you believe it's almost Thanksgiving already? No? 12 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: It comes up so quickly. I feel like the last 13 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 2: three months of the year go by so fast. 14 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be easier as parents if we could merge 15 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving with Halloween? So for example, like on Halloween we're 16 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: just giving out turkey legs, mashed potato balls. 17 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:44,959 Speaker 2: Feel like people are going to do that this year, 18 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: our kids. 19 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 1: Somebody's going to do that, or our kids are going 20 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: to do that somebody. Lauren's still working her Halloween costume. 21 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: We're thinking maybe she's going to be a mom of four. 22 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: I think I know how to do that. Yeah, I 23 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: can make that. 24 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: One, but just throw like a weird hat on and 25 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: that's so. 26 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: I feel like the go to mom costume is like, 27 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: you just make yourself a cat. You like, put some 28 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: cattiers on, do like a little you know, eyeliner on 29 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: your nose, with some whiskers and that's It. 30 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: Looks like Lauren's going to be a cat this year. 31 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: And I don't want to be a cat. A cat, 32 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 2: I think I can. 33 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: Work some jokes at that. Not yeah, let's talk do that. 34 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: So what So, there's been a story that we've seen 35 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: over the past couple of weeks and it's culminating fast. 36 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: It's election season. So I want to touch on this 37 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: because I had a reporter reach out to me the 38 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: other day and they said, with the prospect of Mom Dynamiecamy, 39 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: I'm rolling through his name, Zohran taking over potentially as 40 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: the mayor of New York City, how do you think 41 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: this is going to affect if the restaurant industry and 42 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: food service overall. 43 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, so he is proposing to have city owned public 44 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 2: grocery stores. 45 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: Yes, city own public grocery stores. And the context of 46 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: this question was both the grocery element and then also 47 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: the restaurant piece of this. So I actually thought that 48 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: was a really good question, because you know, there's always 49 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: going to be headlines like overnight, you know, the city's 50 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: gonna go in the toilet, and this is, you know, 51 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: an existential crisis. And don't get me wrong, there's really 52 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: not much on his platform that I agree with, and 53 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: I don't know how he's gonna execute a lot of 54 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: these things because being in city Council, I understand when 55 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: you're up against the bureaucracy, it's not as easy as saying, Okay, 56 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: I'm the mayor and you know, here's my unilateral dictate. 57 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: So I think there's some solace in that for the 58 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: people of New York. I do firmly believe he's going 59 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: to be the mayor. 60 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: Which is scary. It's scary to me. I think it's 61 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 2: not outside. 62 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: I don't think that his platform is what's scary, because 63 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: I know it's a lazy platform anything. 64 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 2: I don't think he knows what he's doing. 65 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: Well, he knows what he's doing. I mean, he's an 66 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: agitator and a disruptor, so he certainly knows what he's doing. 67 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: That's the goal. I don't necessarily know if he knows 68 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: how to execute his plan and his policy. I think 69 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: the scarier part is the lion's share of New York 70 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: City residents who are going to vote for him. That 71 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: scares me. 72 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: Well, I feel like, well they have I don't know, 73 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: new York's interesting. I love New York, but I feel 74 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 2: like a lot of them, you know, they vote for 75 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: the person that they're told to vote for, and they 76 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 2: don't really do their own research on you know. 77 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's probably I mean, I think that that 78 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: principle applies to a lot of people, a lot of 79 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: drive by voters. And that's not a fault of the 80 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: voters either. In New York, it's especially it takes hold, 81 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: especially because they're superficial voters, so it's like, oh, we 82 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: want this. I was talking the other day about how 83 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: like suddenly like socialism is cool in Chic and communism 84 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: is kind of cool in Chic. 85 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: What it says from who? Who says that. 86 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: That's really been the movement within the hardcore left wing 87 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party. 88 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: But have you seen the videos where people are asking 89 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: the citizens of New York like, who are you voting for? 90 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: And they say, Mom, Donnie, and they're like well, why, 91 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: what's one policy you agree with and they literally can't 92 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: answer it answer that question. 93 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and well, I mean that you're right. That's 94 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: kind of the case I think across the board, if 95 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: you did find that relatively knowledgeable voter, I would say 96 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: suggest the things that they say. And this goes back 97 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: to kind of what I was talking to this reporter about, 98 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: is you know, he's going to freeze rent, right, like 99 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: that's been his commercials. He goes around like, we're freezing rent, 100 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: We're freezing rent, and that's going to apply commercially as well, 101 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: So that's landlords who own restaurants. And then of course 102 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: the mandatory minimum wage laws. We've seen these mandatory minimum 103 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: wage laws across states and cities and all over, especially 104 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: like coastal elite cities and in San Diego, they're trying 105 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: to propose a twenty five dollars an hour minimum wage law, 106 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: which even the California Restaurant Association it says it's going 107 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: to absolutely decimate the industry. We've seen it with AB 108 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: twelve twenty eight in California after they passed the mandatory 109 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: minimum wage law twenty dollars an hour fast food restaurants 110 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: they lost one hundred and ten plus thousand dollars jobs 111 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: within like six months. So there are there is clear 112 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: and concise evidence showing that this always has the unintended consequence. 113 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: And I say unintended because I used to think it 114 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: was unintended. Now I'm thinking it's more intended. So let's 115 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: say Mom Dommi gets Let's say he starts proposing and 116 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: pushing forward these mandatory minimum wage increases, freeze on rent, 117 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: and then any rolls out like public grocery stores, touch 118 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: on those one at a time. Minimum wage increases is 119 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: going to decimate restaurants throughout New York. 120 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: Do you know what those numbers are? 121 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: I would suggest it's going to be twenty five plus 122 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: an hour. 123 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: See that is crazy to me because people don't just 124 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 2: don't understand how much it costs to run a restaurant, 125 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: and then when you're increasing, you're labored that significantly. Plus 126 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 2: these individuals are making so much on tips. 127 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: They're going to say, well, the thing is the cost 128 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: of running a rent. And I'm going to play Devil's 129 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: advocate here. The cost of running a restaurant is so 130 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: high because of the cost of rent. And guess what, 131 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 1: good news we're also freezing rent. 132 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: Right, But I mean, I'm wondering if some of these 133 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 2: restaurant owners will then stop the tipping and just pay 134 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: them an hourly because they can't afford it. 135 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: It's not the oh this is I'm so glad you 136 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: brought this up. Everyone will argue for that. It is 137 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: not the restaurant owners that are against the hourly mandatory 138 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: or a living wage. It is the workers. The workers 139 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: do not want a wage, They want the opportunity to 140 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: make a ton of tips. When we opened our restaurant, 141 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: we asked everybody, hey, do you want us to pay 142 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: you thirty thirty five dollars an hour but we eliminate tipping. 143 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: They're like, we won't work here. We want the tips. 144 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 2: Because yeah, the tips are significant. 145 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: Are significant. Now, I will say this, in New York 146 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: City they do have a tipped wage, so it's like 147 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: three or four dollars an hour, whereas like in California, 148 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: we have to pay the twenty dollars an hour plus 149 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: they get tips. 150 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: So then this would then mandate from three to four 151 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 2: dollars an hour, they would have to go to twenty 152 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: five an hour. 153 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if he tries to get 154 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: rid of the tipped wage, but that's a state piece, 155 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: not a city piece, although they might be able to 156 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: try and figure out a way to change it on 157 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: a city level. If that happened, you would see restaurants 158 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: close everywhere through New York City. Opening a restaurant in 159 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: New York City is not a move to make money. 160 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: It's a move to set up a flagship and then 161 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: make money in other areas. Right, it's a billboard. Some 162 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: restaurants do make money, typically in the outer boroughs or 163 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: like not in downtown Manhattan. And we've seen a restaurant 164 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: exodus in New York City. But it will only make 165 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: it worse, so you will get the only people that 166 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: will be able to survive with that economic reality are 167 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: some of the larger multi unit operations or heavily funded 168 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: operations that can afford a little bit of that kind 169 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: of margin. Push on the public grocery. 170 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: Store side is really crazy. So what who says the 171 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: city is going to be able to run a grocery 172 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: business efficiently? 173 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: Right? 174 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 2: Like, how do they even know what they're doing with 175 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: like logistics and purchasing and competitive pricing like do like 176 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: this just seems I don't know. 177 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: Well, it's insane, is what it is. Because there were 178 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: there have been attempts at doing this across other markets. 179 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: I think actually Kansas City did it, and in Kansas 180 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: City they shut down after like six. 181 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: Months six months because they were just losing a ton 182 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 2: of money or yeah, yeah. 183 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: Well, I mean what people don't realize is that like 184 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: grocery and retail, the margins are four or five percent 185 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: volume game, right, Like, you're not making that much money 186 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: because it's it's strictly it's volume, volume volume. So if 187 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: I make four percent on a million dollars versus four 188 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: percent on one hundred million dollars, you know, four percent 189 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: on a million dollars is forty thousand dollars. Four percent 190 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: on one hundred million dollars is four million dollars. The 191 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: four million sounds great when you say they profited four 192 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: million dollars, but think about the work that you had 193 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 1: to put in in order to generate one hundred million 194 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: dollars in sales in addition to the cost of a store. 195 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: So you're going to have you know, what's going to 196 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: happen is is that you're going to see food service operations, 197 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 1: both restaurant and retail stop opening in the city. You're 198 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: going to see many of them close and shut down, 199 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: so you're gonna have a lower supply. Then the city 200 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: steps in and says, oh, well, Trader Joe's wants to 201 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: leave this area, or Aldi or Wegmans wants to leave 202 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: this area, Well, guess what, We're going to run our own, 203 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: city run grocery store. They're gonna have absolutely no idea 204 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: how to do it, okay, and the way in which 205 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: government runs is not efficient. So they're going to put 206 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: ten store clerks where a private organization might have two. 207 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: They're gonna put ten checkers, you know, or baggers at 208 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 1: the counters where they would normally have two. That we're 209 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: moving back and forth, and they're gonna run these costs 210 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: that are gonna be so high it's gonna be a 211 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: financial drain on the city. But it's gonna be the 212 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: only option for food in certain areas because all the 213 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: private vendors have left, and the city's gonna need to 214 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: keep pumping money into it. And in order to have 215 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: the money to do that, they're gonna have to increase taxes. 216 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 2: Well, he's only from my understanding, it's only five stores, right, 217 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 2: that he's proposing. 218 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what he's purposed. I don't think 219 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: he knows what he's proposing when he asked. Somebody asked 220 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: him the other day about this, and he had absolutely 221 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: no answer. Right, it's all just working in kind of 222 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: like vision and theory, but it just does not work. 223 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: There's no example in history in which government taking over 224 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: the means of production has worked. Yeah, like, it's just 225 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 1: it's never happened. So do I agree that maybe there 226 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: could be ways in which you subsidize some of those 227 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: private businesses, Yes, but that already exists. The reason New 228 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: York has gotten so bad people don't want to face 229 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: this is because they defunded their police right based on virtue, 230 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: and then they needed to continue to stop crime. So 231 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: they had a smaller police force that they had to 232 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: have work double the amount of hours. 233 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 2: So then they were just basically paying them over time, 234 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 2: like you know, one person's salary, if you will, should 235 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: have been too. 236 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, So they made this virtuous move to cut the 237 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: police force and say, look how much we cut the 238 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: police force. But then they realized they still needed the bodies, 239 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: so then they had to pay everyone over time, which 240 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: ended up costing more than it would if you kept 241 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: the police force on board. And then crime continued to 242 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: go up, and then certain areas of the city started 243 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: to fall apart, and then you have these kind of 244 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: mini mafias, cartels, gangs taking over. And then you import 245 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: millions of people into the city and you're providing them 246 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: social services, which is what we know happened. This isn't 247 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: political theater, this is reality. It's not subjective. And then 248 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: you've got to pay for those people, and then your 249 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: city budget runs so dry that you need to increase 250 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: the taxes. And then when you increase the taxes, the 251 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: people who are generating revenue in the city leave the city, 252 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: so then you have less people to increase the taxes 253 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: on than The only people that are left in the 254 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: city are the lower income or middle class, and then 255 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: you have to increase their taxes double the amount, and 256 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: then those people end up leaving the city. And that's 257 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: the downward spiral where you see cities fall apart over 258 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: a ten or twenty year period, and that's what could 259 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: potentially happen here in New York City. 260 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: Well, let's hope not, because I do love New York. 261 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: We used to love going there all the time. 262 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: Everyone loves New York. So we're going to touch on 263 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: that in some future episodes because I think this is 264 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: a really interesting story to follow. But something more contemporary 265 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: that's very important, very important, is Halloween candy. 266 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: Yes, and you know what's kind of sad. What is 267 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 2: that more people will start to see gummies instead of chocolate. 268 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 2: They might see that this year. 269 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: I saw that. Last year it was like fifty two 270 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: percent of the Halloween candy was chocolate based. And they're projecting, 271 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 1: as you just said, that this year it's gonna it's 272 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: going to be the opposite. It's gonna be more gummy 273 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: based candy. 274 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 2: Why is that? 275 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: I have absolutely Oh. I think it's just the cost 276 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: of chocolate. Maybe we're just not a chocolate generation anymore. 277 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Look so last year fifty two percent of 278 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 2: the total Halloween candy was chocolate. Oh no, and this 279 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: year it's going to go down. I love a good chocolate. 280 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: We talked about this last time. 281 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: I love a good chocolate. Yeah, but we're not talking 282 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: about real chocolate here, like I like a good semi 283 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: sweet or like bitter dark chocolate high quality. We're talking 284 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: like milky Way and snickers bars. 285 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: Well, milky ways gross snickers are all right? 286 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: What's this thing that I've seen everyone doing? This trunk 287 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: or treat? 288 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 2: So it's it's like trick or treating except you. I 289 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 2: think you set up like a table or it's like 290 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 2: almost tailgating, and you set up a little table for 291 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 2: trick or treaters to walk around, and. 292 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: It's it's like a parking lot or something. 293 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: It's a parking lot or a neighborhood or the school. 294 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 1: We need to get ahead of this type of stuff. 295 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: We don't have any friends. 296 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: Yes, we have some friends. Unfortunately, our kids some up 297 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 2: well okay, we have such a wide age range with 298 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 2: our children that it's hard, like fifteen to five. 299 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. Something about Lauren and I. I think that it's 300 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: just one time we met the We were hanging out 301 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: like at a playground, and then we met this couple 302 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: and we were like, oh, that's cool, we should go 303 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: out to dinner with them, like me have another couple friend. 304 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: And then like an hour later, Lauren got a text message, 305 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: No it was you. It was a message basically they're like, hey, 306 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: it was nice talking with you, but we don't think 307 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: we can be friends with you. 308 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 2: Literally we had like the best time, Like it was 309 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 2: like the perfect It came on very hard. No, I didn't. 310 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: We all of our kids were getting along. You and 311 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: I were getting along with the mom and dad. And 312 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 2: then Andrew shot the dad at text like later and 313 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 2: was like, hey, that was really nice meeting you. We should, 314 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 2: you know, get the family together. 315 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: We got broken up with and then the dad. 316 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: Text him like literally immediately and was like, it was 317 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 2: nice meeting you too. But we we talked and unfortunately 318 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: this isn't going to work out. 319 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: This is a weird story. 320 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: It was so weird. But this was like before like 321 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: Andrew got really heavily involved in politics, and like, I 322 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 2: know a lot of people are like, oh, they probably 323 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 2: looked you guys up and saw you know where you're. 324 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, but even before that I was weird. So if 325 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: that was probably it, I was a little think since him, 326 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: I was a little apprehensive. I thought that the dad 327 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: was a weenie. Oh, dear Lauren was really Lauren was 328 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: really getting along with the wife.

I don't think it's that bad. 354 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 2: Don't look at this anyone caught throwing tortillas would have 355 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: their ticket privileges revoked from the rest of the academic 356 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: year across all. 357 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: Sports twenty five thousand dollars. 358 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: Fine, Wait, why I need to find out why you 359 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: can't throw tortillas. 360 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure somebody cried and said it was like racist 361 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: or something. 362 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: Probably I feel like that's always the case, Like although 363 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: that went in doubt for racism in there. 364 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: Although that would determine, like if it was flower tortillas, 365 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: I don't think that that's racist. If it was corn. 366 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: Maybe because you're really getting into it, because I feel 367 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: like all the like, all the how can I put this? 368 00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: The non taco eaters, people who traditionally don't eat Mexican food, 369 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: they go for the flower tortillas and then like you what, 370 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: who's fifty percent of Mexican? Yes, you love really getting 371 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: into detail on the toll. Yeah, So if you had 372 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: a choice, right, what would it be? Flour corn hybrid, 373 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: which is flower en corn, blue corn, yellow corn, white corn. 374 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 2: I like a good hybrid. We used to do that 375 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 2: at our old restaurant. We had a hybrid tortilla and 376 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: it was phenomenal because it holds up well, like a 377 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 2: corn tortilla, yes, but like it was soft. 378 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: No, like a like a flower tortilla. Y. It holds 379 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: up because of the flour and the. 380 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: Glue, because of the Yeah, that's what I meant. 381 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: But you get the flavor of the corn. It was 382 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: just so everyone knows. Hybrid is like half flower, half flower, 383 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: half corn. And it's great because I love the flavor 384 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: of the corn, but I like the strength and the 385 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: structure of the flower. 386 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 2: Yeah.

It's the Mediterranean diet. 467 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: This one lady was like I eat a ton of butter, 468 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: I drink a beer, I eat meat and bacon and 469 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: eggs for breakfast. That's not Mediterranean, literally the opposite. Hold on, 470 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 1: I'm getting there. I'm getting there. But she doesn't have 471 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: seed oil, she doesn't eat any process. 472 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: For Mediterraneans, olive oils, lots of fish, fresh fruit, vegetable 473 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 2: chicken which is so olive. 474 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: But no processed food. 475 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: No process food. 476 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: That's the point. There's really no. 477 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: Seed oils, butter and bacon, like. 478 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: Okay, I threw the bacon in there, so it was 479 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: more of like a merge. It was like Mediterranean diet 480 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: meets the you know, Montana diet. Oh, that's good, the Montana. 481 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: That sounds good. Let's start that Hannah Montana. Oh my gosh, 482 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: I got a good one here. Though you got it, 483 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: I have not told you about this one. This falls 484 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: under the what the fork? The WTF? Crazy foods? Hot 485 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: ice cream? 486 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: What is hot ice cream? 487 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: Exactly? What is hot ice cream? So Tyra Banks heard 488 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: that name in a while. I used to watch America's 489 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: Top Model. 490 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 2: I used to watch her. I went to her show. 491 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: Okay, that's weird. 492 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 2: She had like a talk show, and I would get tickets. 493 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: I remember that. Didn't she get sick for a while 494 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: or something happened to it. 495 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. 496 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: I didn't keep them, or maybe she had I think 497 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: she had drop foot. No, never mind, that was somebody else. 498 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: That was Tyrone Banks. So the hot ice cream is 499 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: exactly as it sounds. It is ice cream, but it's hot, 500 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: like it's icy, or like temperature. It's hot, temperature hot. 501 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: Imagine eating ice cream. You grab it from the cup 502 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: and you hold it up, and it's got the same 503 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: structure as regular ice cream, the scoop, you know, the fluffiness, 504 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: all of that, but it's warm. It's hot. 505 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 2: But like, how does it hold up if it's hot. 506 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: I was reading the article and she said she tried 507 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: all of these different ways. They tried just like melting 508 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: ice cream and reconstituting it. They tried making custards. They 509 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: have now a proprietary way of creating ice cream. That's 510 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: it holds in scoops and eats velvety, smooth, voluptuous bite 511 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: of ice cream, but it's hot. And I find that 512 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: so fascinating because number One, from a food science perspective, 513 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: I can only imagine the chemicals that are in there 514 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: in order to allow that emulsion to hold. 515 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 2: Look, so, people have their theories about how banks hot 516 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 2: ice cream is made, including one who guessed it was 517 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 2: a flavored krem unglace. 518 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, creme on glaze, which. 519 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 2: Is But The America's Next Hop Model says she will 520 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 2: not reveal her secrets. 521 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, of course she's not going to reveal her secrets. 522 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: That's the proprietary nature of it. How do you how 523 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: else do you think she's going to franchise it? How 524 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 1: else do you think she's going to sell it? Get 525 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: people in the door? Why would you reveal your secret? However, 526 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: I also think that that's a very good way of 527 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: blindfolding the people who can try it. I so do I. 528 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 2: Now I'm curious. 529 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: This is going to be huge. I think she she 530 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: didn't come up with this. I think there was a 531 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: concept in Australia that did this. And I could be 532 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: wrong and she's franchising it, or she took the licensing 533 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: rights to it and she's bringing it to the US. 534 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: But if she goes into so much detail about how 535 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: she created this concoction, then maybe she is the one 536 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: the mastermind behind it, which I have a lot of 537 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: respect for I do too too often, like these famous people, brands, 538 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: individual brands, they're they're cut copying and pasting a concept 539 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: that's already out there, there's already working. Yeah, they're putting 540 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: their name on it and making it as if it's 541 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: their own. They're either ripping off a young budding brand 542 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 1: or they're But she's coming up with something totally new here. 543 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: And I love ice cream. 544 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 2: You love ice cream. 545 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: I have a problem with that. 546 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 2: She will order Instacart at like nine o'clock and so 547 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 2: we're getting a knock at the door at like nine 548 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 2: p forty five and it's just a bag full of 549 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 2: different flavors of ice cream. And he will sit there 550 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 2: and eat so much ice cream. I do not understand 551 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: how you're so skinny. 552 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: Because I know that I'm going to eat that ice cream. 553 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: And I save, I budget my calories. So in the morning, 554 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: I'll have a glass of water I'll swallow like a 555 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: junebug on the way to work, and I'll have a 556 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: piece of toast for lunch, and I'll eat just like 557 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: I'm I'm almost you. 558 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 2: You load all your calories. 559 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I do.

He doesn't do that. 575 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: I've thought about it. 576 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 2: Oh I'm gonna find him tonight on the couch with 577 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 2: a speed Just. 578 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: A mirror thought makes it worse. There's a few things 579 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: in food that we need to get rid of, or 580 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: eighty six, as we like to say, eighty six It okay, 581 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: why don't you start with your mine? 582 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 2: Is it really a food trend? But like we were 583 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 2: talking about, we've had several birthday parties. I want to 584 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 2: eighty six kid birthday parties at home. We had no 585 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: kid birthday parties at our house this year, and it 586 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 2: was glorious. 587 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: Parents. You got like the motivation sometimes is, hey, we 588 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: didn't plan this, therefore we're just going to hold it 589 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: at our house, and it becomes a disaster because, as 590 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: everyone knows, nobody cleans like a lady who's about to 591 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: have guests come to our house, or for that matter, 592 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: actually a cleaning lady. Why is it why do women 593 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: clean before the cleaning lady comes. 594 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 2: I don't well, when we don't have a cleaning I'm 595 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 2: minding lady because you don't want them like touching your stocks. 596 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 1: And then furthermore, you clean the entire house before all 597 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 1: the guests come, but then the house is messed up 598 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: after the first guest comes. 599 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 2: This was life changing for me. Every year, I don't 600 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 2: think we've ever had a kid party not at our 601 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 2: house because of that. This year, we went to Chuck 602 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 2: E Cheese for the little guys Big five, and then 603 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 2: we had another party at a skateboarding indoor skateboarding park. Guys. 604 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 2: It was so good not having to clean, not having 605 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 2: to cook, not having to you know, kind of like 606 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 2: tell the guests, Okay, it's time to leave. 607 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: Like it was like, that's actually, that's right. 608 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 2: That's a two hours in and out. 609 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: And that was it because you always have that one 610 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: guess that wants to just stay and talk for two 611 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: or three hours and you're like, honestly, like I gotta 612 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: put my speedo on and eat some ice cream. 613 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 2: So that is my eighty six. 614 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: Well that's a really good one. And I will say 615 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: we need to qualify the Chucky cheese piece.

Now, 621 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: maybe I'd worked up a little bit of a hunger 622 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: because I was over there playing the skee ball too much, 623 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: but that pizza was probably you know, if I'm going 624 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: by the Dave Portnoy one bite, everybody knows the rules. 625 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: It was like a seven out of ten. 626 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 2: It was good and everyone had was good.

But speaking of 668 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: sharpening your skills, one of the tips I want to give. 669 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: I've talked about the cold seer, I've talked about the 670 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: reverse sere, but people still want that hard seer on 671 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: a lot of their protein or fish, especially the skin. 672 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: So They're like, but how do I get that good 673 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: sere even if I don't want to do the reverse here? Like, 674 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: what's the old school technique? I call it the sere 675 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: and slide? Right? You get a pan blasting hot, You 676 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: put your protein in the pan, and then you put 677 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: the pan directly in the oven, skin side down at 678 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: three point fifty or four hundred degrees. Then after five 679 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: or six minutes, you open up the oven, you pull 680 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: the pan out, you flip the protein and just like 681 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: setting it and forgetting it, searing it and sliding it 682 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: in the oven is going to let the convection cook 683 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: the rest of the protein while you're getting that skin 684 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: super super super crispy. So give that a try with 685 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: like skin on chicken thighs or chicken breast or uh seafood, 686 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: you know skin skin on seafoods. So seir and slide 687 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: blast in hot pan, get the protein in there right 688 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: into it a three hundred and fifty degree of and 689 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: forget about it for about five minutes. Flip it actually, 690 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: and then after you flip it, add a little bit 691 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: of liquid in there, because you do you don't want 692 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: that dry heat to go throughout the entire cooking process, 693 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: and then you can make a really good pant sauce 694 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: with what's left over. So that's going to be it 695 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: for this week on our Quick Sizzle, it's going to 696 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: be Sir and Slide. I want to add up a 697 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: very very quick segment in here that we're going to 698 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: start talking about throughout the next episodes. So this is 699 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: food Facts that will Blow your biscuit. 700 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 2: Oh, blow your biscuit? 701 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: Yep, yep, it's a little weird.

Food Facts That'll blow your biscuit, seabiscuit. 704 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: Did you know that ketchup used to be medicine? I 705 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: did not. In an eighteen thirties, doctors prescribed it for indigestion. 706 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: Imagine walking into a CVS and the pharmacist hands to 707 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: you like a bott heindes ketchup. 708 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 2: Why is that the what's in the ketchup that makes 709 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 2: you not have any ingestion? 710 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe you think it would make it 711 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: worse because it's high in acid. 712 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 2: We gotta look into this. 713 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: We do. Butter wasn't just for bread. Medieval nobles used 714 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: it as hair. 715 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 2: Gel, hair gel. Yeah, I could see that. 716 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: I could see that too, because sometimes when I'm cooking, 717 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: I get beef tallow or butter on my hands and 718 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: I run my fingers through my silky hair, and for 719 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: the rest of the day i'm walking around, people are like, 720 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: is somebody eating a croissant? Like, it's just my hair, 721 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: It's just my locks. Although I like the idea of 722 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: using like tallow as a skin cream, butter, you name it, 723 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: all right, this will be the last one. This is 724 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: the food facts that will blow your biscuits. Let's see 725 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: what I want to talk about. I can't get behind 726 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: that garlic literally, and I'm using the term properly. Garlic 727 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: literally sweats out of your pores. 728 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,719 Speaker 2: Which is so true because I cannot eat a salsa 729 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 2: that has a that's heavy and garlic, because I will 730 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 2: literally smell like garblet. Literally literally, and Andrew will be like, gosh, 731 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 2: you stink. 732 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: When you eat a lot of garlic, the methyl sulfide 733 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: builds up in your blood and exits through your pores, 734 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: which is why heavy garlic eaters smell like an Italian 735 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: kitchen the next day, or in your case, like a 736 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: big bowl of garlic. Studded salsa and you hate it 737 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: so much. I don't hate it. I don't hate it. 738 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: But we'll be laying in bed and I'll be like, 739 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: oh my god, somebody threw a garlic clove in my pillow. 740 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 2: It's just me. 741 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: The kids have really been anti vampire lately, so it's 742 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: incredibly likely that they did that. 743 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: Well, you're funny. We went through a lot this episode. 744 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's follow what's happening in New York City 745 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: and the effect that a new mayor might have on 746 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: food service, retail food operations. Obviously, we want to know 747 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: about what you got going on for Halloween. All this 748 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: candy talk is making me a little bit hungry, maybe 749 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: for ice cream, hot ice cream that is, We've got 750 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: that hot ice cream story in there. And I also 751 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: want to know whether you guys like corn or flour tortillas, 752 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: because I think we should lean into that on the 753 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: next episode. Maybe throw some tortillo. 754 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 2: Now. I want to know if you guys like having 755 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 2: kid parties at home or do you ditch them completely 756 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 2: and go somewhere else like I did this year, which 757 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 2: was amazing. 758 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: Ditch the kids for kids. That's a good idea. Later, 759 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: but Hey, you guys.
