Speaker 2: I would write that totally differently today, or I would,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm still really proud of it.
Speaker 2: But if anything, it made me go maybe maybe there's
Speaker 2: another book in there.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: So twenty twenty two, you're a contestant on Food Networks
Speaker 3: Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, what prompted you to go on that show?
Speaker 2: So I've done like just a few reality shows. I
Speaker 2: did Dancing with the Stars, I did Worst Cooks, and
Speaker 2: I did one called Beyond the Edge, and it was
Speaker 2: because I wanted to learn how to ballroom dance. I
Speaker 2: always wanted to learn how to cook. And then Beyond
Speaker 2: the Edge was living in the jungles of Panama for
Speaker 2: two weeks and like pushing myself you know, sort of
Speaker 2: physically mentally, and that was something that I'll sounded really challenging.
Speaker 2: So basically, when they, you know, asked me to do
Speaker 2: Worst Cooks, I was like, oh, yeah, I'm not a
Speaker 2: great cook, and I was like to get to learn
Speaker 2: from like two chefs and have fun with other people
Speaker 2: that I know and grew up with from TV shows
Speaker 2: in the nineties.
Speaker 4: Like I was like, sure, that sounds awesome, and it was.
Speaker 2: But it was also, until the Panama Show, no joke,
Speaker 2: the hardest work schedule I've ever had in my life.
Speaker 2: We did a nineteen hour day. Oh one day, like
Speaker 2: we're you were cooking at like one am, You're cooking
Speaker 2: full meals because your team doesn't get around to shooting that.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: It was like we were delirious half the time, just
Speaker 2: absolutely delirious.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was really fun and challenging.
Speaker 1: Wow, So was that your worst moment on that show?
Speaker 2: Oh god, no, no, I believe my worst moment, if
Speaker 2: I remember correctly, I think I threw a fit about shrimp.
Speaker 2: I was somewhere in like it was like I think
Speaker 2: it was episode I don't know, maybe like four to three.
Speaker 4: Like we were like a little.
Speaker 2: Bit into it, and the same thing happened on the
Speaker 2: other two shows. It's like that when you reach your
Speaker 2: peak tired stress moment and your brain just shuts down
Speaker 2: and like it literally can't think, like you can't go
Speaker 2: from step A to step B.
Speaker 4: That is exactly what happened.
Speaker 2: And I totally screwed up the shrimp and it wasn't
Speaker 2: where and nothing was going right, and I just I
Speaker 2: was so pissed that and my chef, chef Jeff Morrow,
Speaker 2: who was lovely, was like, joke, what's going on? And
Speaker 2: I was like I'm just just stupid shrimp and I
Speaker 2: can't whatever. It was like, I just I lost it
Speaker 2: and I and I gave up.
Speaker 4: I just I was like I can't, John, I don't care.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, uh Wan in doubt blame it on
Speaker 3: the shrimp.
Speaker 2: It's true, like you never know, and I'm almost sure
Speaker 2: it was shrimp. It was something that like it just
Speaker 2: I did it totally in the wrong order or maybe yeah,
Speaker 2: it was like breading something and I just did it
Speaker 2: all in the wrong order. So I screwed everything up.
Speaker 2: And then I was like, I'm not I don't even care, I.
Speaker 3: Know, right, So what do your daughters think about your cooking?
Speaker 3: Do they help you in the kitchen?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: You know what?
Speaker 2: I am actually, uh incredibly fortunate, and my husband does
Speaker 2: all of the cooking. Oh and uh he's always like
Speaker 2: looking up new recipes and coming up nothing like crazy fancy,
Speaker 2: but like just good, easy, cook yummy recipes. He loves
Speaker 2: trying out new stuff, like it's kind of his thing.
Speaker 2: So I am more than happy to let him take
Speaker 2: that over.
Speaker 3: Has he ever prepared something where you all just looked
Speaker 3: at each other and like when, oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, Like there's been there's been not even
Speaker 2: like like terrible terrible, but there's been things where we
Speaker 2: were like, yeah, well, well we don't have to cook
Speaker 2: that again.
Speaker 4: That was not that was not.
Speaker 2: Like things where you're like, I don't I feel like
Speaker 2: they forgot to add salt or seasoning. Yeah, but no,
Speaker 2: I'm very lucky in that he does like the grocery shopping,
Speaker 2: the and the cooking at the house right because I
Speaker 2: try and buy healthy stuff, like I'll go and you know,
Speaker 2: and everyone in the house is like, oh mom, stop,
Speaker 2: like what is this right?
Speaker 1: Well, so as you're cooking improved since you've been on
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 4: And you get some tips, my tip is to.
Speaker 2: Have a team of people who pick out all of
Speaker 2: the best produce and ence and place it there for
Speaker 2: you to choose from, and also have professional grade everything
Speaker 2: and then be able to throw it all in a
Speaker 2: bin and have someone else clean it. So what I
Speaker 2: found is I love the cooking part that's really fun.
Speaker 2: It's everything else around it that you have to do
Speaker 2: that is that I really hate.
Speaker 1: I don't mind the prep so much. I kind of
Speaker 1: like the prep.
Speaker 2: No, the prep, the prep and the all, but like
Speaker 2: literally the grocery shopping and the picking of like the
Speaker 2: perfect most ripe everything.
Speaker 4: I don't know what, you know, is it ripe? Is
Speaker 4: it not?
Speaker 2: I get it and I'm like, oh, that's a hard
Speaker 2: avocado or you know, I don't do that exactly. Everything
Speaker 2: was like laid out exactly perfectly. So that's how I
Speaker 2: found I like to cook, but no, I will say
Speaker 2: when I came back my husband would be cooking dinner,
Speaker 2: and I became that guy that would be like, actually,
Speaker 2: you want to heat that up a little bit?
Speaker 4: Oh no, and I know, and he would like look
Speaker 4: at me, and I was like, I'm.
Speaker 2: Sorry, oh no, because I couldn't help it because it
Speaker 2: was like I just learned all this stuff, and so
Speaker 2: it was like I see him be trying to do stuff,
Speaker 2: and I was like trying to help him, right, And
Speaker 2: I was like, actually, you don't want to saute gar
Speaker 2: like that high. You're gonna burn it. You want to
Speaker 2: just throw it in there for a flash, and they
Speaker 2: and I was like.
Speaker 4: Shut up, shut up. Yeah. He just looked at me,
Speaker 4: and I was like, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: I cook a lot.
Speaker 3: I put on an album, you know, I put on
Speaker 3: the entire oh yeah, yeah, usually from the seventies and uh,
Speaker 3: classic rock, and I'll just I'll just I'll just I'll
Speaker 3: do the prep, I'll do everything, serve all that stuff.
Speaker 1: And it's always perfectly timed. Somehow. I always time it
Speaker 1: to the very last note of the album.
Speaker 4: Amazing, it's ready. That's impressive. That is really impressive.
Speaker 1: To get into the rhythm of the album.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: Now my he definitely does that, like there will be
Speaker 2: he'll put music on and he's just like in his zone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And nobody's allowed in the kitchen or or in
Speaker 3: my areas when I'm don't get in my.
Speaker 2: Don't get in the way, because inevitably you're always going
Speaker 2: for the same drawer or cabinet or you're in.
Speaker 4: This just just move please move.
Speaker 1: Out my way. Cannot here to assist me.
Speaker 4: Right exactly if you're not my soux chef, get out
Speaker 4: of the way.
Speaker 1: Out of the way. You're not authorized to be here.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite dish to make?
Speaker 4: Ooh, I like I like baking.
Speaker 2: I like doing like cookies, brownies, stuff like that. Like
Speaker 2: a seven layer bar one of the easiest and most
Speaker 2: delicious things that I have made for years, and I
Speaker 2: don't even know where I found the recipe. Uh, it's
Speaker 2: s'mores bars. And basically you take like a gram cracker,
Speaker 2: like a crushed gram cra which you can either do
Speaker 2: yourself or buy the store, and line a nine by
Speaker 2: thirteen pan with buttered Graham cracker crumbs and you press
Speaker 2: it down to make like a crust, and then you
Speaker 2: take semi sweet chocolate chips butterscotch chips, mini marshmallows, and
Speaker 2: a can of condensed sweetened milk and you pour it
Speaker 2: over the top and then you bake it for like
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes.
Speaker 4: And I have made that. It's the easiest thing to make.
Speaker 2: I would take it to work and people loved it,
Speaker 2: like it's addicting and deliciously good and it takes you
Speaker 2: all of thirty minutes to do.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, yeah. Yeah. It's kind of a perfect like
Speaker 4: summertime thing.
Speaker 2: And if you just kind of keep you know, a
Speaker 2: few things on hand, you can throw it together at
Speaker 2: any time.
Speaker 1: Beautiful, beautiful. You think Stephanie Tanner would be a better
Speaker 1: cook than Odie Sweden.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think Steph is a cook either. I
Speaker 2: think Steph Steph is uh. She's a great like songwriter,
Speaker 2: really creative musically, not as creative in the kitchen, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you can't do it all. No, no, you can't.
Speaker 4: And it's as.
Speaker 1: Lucky you get one.
Speaker 4: It's true. It's true. So yeah, not don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Steph would be a cook, but
Speaker 2: I know that she would probably be a foodie, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like definitely likes to go try
Speaker 2: newest restaurants, different things, different.
Speaker 4: Styles of food.
Speaker 2: It's all about that kind of stuff, but doesn't necessarily
Speaker 2: want to do.
Speaker 4: It all herself.
Speaker 3: So my character had a diner, right right, Luke's Diner. Yeah,
Speaker 3: everybody knows Luke Steiner. You think you could hang in there,
Speaker 3: work in a shift in Luke Steiner?
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think you could too.
Speaker 2: I think I could. One thing I'm really good at
Speaker 2: is being in chaos. Like when I'm in a chaotic situation,
Speaker 2: it's when I am weirdly uh the most calm and
Speaker 2: clear headed, which says a lot about me.
Speaker 4: But uh but no, it's.
Speaker 2: Like I I, uh, yeah, I definitely Like I worked
Speaker 2: in you know, drug and alcohol treatment for several years,
Speaker 2: and I've done a lot of protest actions on the
Speaker 2: street and things, and when chaos breaks out, I'm usually like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: I know this, So yeah I could. I think I
Speaker 2: could hang It would not be easy and I would
Speaker 2: probably uh forget things as a server.
Speaker 1: No, I think you would. I think you would impose
Speaker 1: order on that place. I think you. I think you
Speaker 1: would know how to do it.
Speaker 4: I think I would. I you know, I but I
Speaker 4: worked in treatment.
Speaker 2: I had a staff of like one hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: people under me, So I feel like I'm good at
Speaker 2: running a team of people right in chaotic situations.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I did that too in New York. Right when
Speaker 1: I lived in New York, I did that too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh awesome. I used to help out hero recovering heroin addicts.
Speaker 4: I love that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I loved working in treatment and it was again a
Speaker 2: completely new skill set.
Speaker 4: And I became a director of operations.
Speaker 2: So I worked in like the planning of the chaos.
Speaker 1: Right, right, If you could share a meal with any
Speaker 1: Gilmore characters, who would it be and.
Speaker 4: Why it would be? It would be Lorelei.
Speaker 2: Right, because I have two girls. I had them relatively young,
Speaker 2: I mean not as young as Lauraai, but like relatively young,
Speaker 2: and I feel like she and.
Speaker 4: I would have a lot to.
Speaker 2: Talk about as far as being like mom single mom
Speaker 2: at times going through you know, uh, I feel like
Speaker 2: the relationship that we have with our daughters as like
Speaker 2: also being friends. Not that we're not like mom and
Speaker 2: in charge, but that it's just a you have a
Speaker 2: different relationship. I think when you have kids a little
Speaker 2: bit younger, you're still kind of like oh yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: still figuring me out.
Speaker 4: So anyway, I think that's who I would choose.
Speaker 1: Proved that previous generation we can do this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, like this exactly.
Speaker 1: It's it's not a bad thing, all right. If you
Speaker 1: were to walk into Luke Steiner, okay, we know you
Speaker 1: want to Uh what would you order? And where would
Speaker 1: you sit?
Speaker 2: I definitely, I mean i'd sit by a window. I
Speaker 2: was like a window and I'd like to sit like
Speaker 2: in a corner by the window.
Speaker 1: I got you, I got I know exactly where I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanna I wanna watch what's going on. I
Speaker 2: want to see other tables. I want to make up
Speaker 2: stories about what they're doing. I want to see the
Speaker 2: you know, the kitchen, the servers, the host.
Speaker 4: Weird people that walk in. I just need to see
Speaker 4: it all.
Speaker 1: Got the perfect table for it.
Speaker 4: Corner window, view of everybody. And what would I order?
Speaker 2: You know?

Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't, but my mom introduced me to gravy fries,
Speaker 2: going to like fifties diners, you know, fifties replica diners
Speaker 2: as a kid, because she's like, this is what we ordered.

Speaker 2: Well, it's I've done live shows with our friends at
Speaker 2: Podmeats World, and we both quizzed each other on each
Speaker 2: other's shows. And the best part was none of us
Speaker 2: had ever watched each other's shows, and so we were
Speaker 2: making They were like, who is this character?
Speaker 4: It was like shown up on the screen, and we
Speaker 4: would just make up some ridiculous story because we.
Speaker 2: Were like, I don't know, so I'm just gonna be
Speaker 2: ridiculous about it. Yeah, So I think it's kind of common.
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, yeah, I mean, we grew up together, but
