You know, definitely check Mike on the socials. 25 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 3: Everyone should do that anyway, but he might be swinging 26 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: through your neck of. 27 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 2: The woods, and indeed, indeed that's dope. That's dope. 28 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 3: So in those you know, five or six states, you 29 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 3: just came off of any highlights. Was there any place 30 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 3: in the limited downtime you had that you were like, 31 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 3: I really like this area, you. 32 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: Know, I really like Montreal. I got a chance to 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: spend a couple of days there late last year. I 34 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: was on tour with a Fantagram and we had a 35 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: day off, so I really just got to hang out 36 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: in Montreal for a while. And it's such a beautiful 37 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: city with art everywhere and good food everywhere. You know, 38 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: it's and it's even though you know, most cities on 39 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: this hemisphere are relatively new, you know, compared to like Europe, 40 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: and yeah, a lot of other places, Montreal feels old 41 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: and I like that about it too. 42 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: I went for the first time in I think it 43 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 3: was twenty twenty four. 44 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: It's funny. 45 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 3: My wife is Canadian born and I had never been 46 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 3: to Canada until I was in my forties, which is 47 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 3: pathetic because I grew up like you did. I grew up, 48 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 3: you know, in the Roust Belt. You know, I'm from 49 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh originally, which to get to Toronto is a short drive. Yeah, 50 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 3: so shame on me. But I definitely felt like I 51 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 3: was in an older city. And I agree with everything 52 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 3: you said. And it's funny that you mentioned food. So 53 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 3: when you did your episode this season as a guest, 54 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 3: I really valued you kind of spoke about, you know, 55 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 3: making some culinary or I should say eating miss up 56 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: during the pandemic and you know, the turnaround journey you've 57 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 3: been on since. So I wanted to ask you, you know, 58 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 3: when you're on the road, what is your relationship with food? 59 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 3: Because I think we all like good food, but good 60 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 3: food isn't always good for us. 61 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,399 Speaker 1: It's tough. I go a lot of places where there 62 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: is a lot of good food around, but I often 63 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: don't get to experience it, to be honest, you know, 64 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: that's one thing that people ask me all the time 65 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: when you go to these cities, what do you eat? 66 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: What do you eat? What do you eat? And like, 67 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: I hate that. The truth is that I eat usually 68 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: what's right by the venue, or usually or I play 69 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of places where there's a kitchen in house 70 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: because there's a restaurant component of the venue, so whatever's 71 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: on there men you you know, I think one of 72 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: the things that it's hard for people to understand is 73 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: the schedule when you're touring, especially the way that I tour, 74 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: which is typically, you know, we're in a we're in 75 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: a van. We're driving day to day, so we're spending 76 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, five six, eight, you know, hours in a 77 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: van all day, and we're often getting to the venue 78 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: very close to when it's time for sound check. If 79 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: we're lucky and things go smooth, there's a few hours 80 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: maybe between when everything is set up and then when 81 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: doors open or when it's time to play, so you know, 82 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: we can get out maybe and you know, walk around 83 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: a little bit for for an hour or two. That's 84 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: if things go smoothly, and they do not always. But 85 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: what we don't get to do is typically go find 86 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: the popping spot that's got all the great yell reviews 87 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: everybody tells us to go to because there's a line 88 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: at those places usually and we don't have time for that, 89 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: let alone to travel to get to and from and 90 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: make sure where where we need to be on time, 91 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: so we often have to miss out on the on 92 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: the good. 93 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: Food well and the other part. 94 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: And I'm not a performer, but like you know, the 95 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 3: meal that gets the love on yelp is probably not 96 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 3: the thing you want to eat before you're jumping around 97 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 3: on stage for two and a half hours. 98 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: True, you don't want the fancy burger right before you 99 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: go on stage. This might be a little too heavy 100 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: for you in the moment. 101 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 3: So on the subject of food, there was something else 102 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 3: I'm talking to you about it away. Oh, let me 103 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 3: let me ask you this, Like when you go to Europe. 104 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: I know what the schedule looks like, but is there 105 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: one thing that just you look forward to that's on 106 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 3: the eating tip of things of just like when you 107 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 3: see that and you're like, I'm I'm gonna carve out 108 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 3: an hour, whether it's in the morning or night, for 109 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 3: this one thing in this one place. 110 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: I you know, I have a hard time eating in Europe. 111 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: I really do have a hard time eating in Europe. Jake. 112 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm so American. I'm so American, and it's like I 113 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: encounter the worst parts of myself when I'm on the 114 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: road in Europe. Because I am such a creature of 115 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: convenience and habit and things like breakfast options. There's a 116 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: lot of places in Europe where your hotel breakfast is 117 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: just like a bunch of meat and cheese on platters 118 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: and it looks fancy, but that's not the breakfast I'm 119 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: looking for. I'm looking for from hot eggs somewhere. Nobody's 120 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: got my hot eggs. It's that sort of thing I'm 121 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: sort of always negotiating with and trying to figure my 122 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: way around. Is how do I find something that I 123 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: feel a satisfying or come out of my comfort zone 124 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: enough to feel satisfied by what's being offered to me 125 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: When it's not like I have a bunch of time 126 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: to sit in the same city and get used to something. 127 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: I kind of got a stick and move. So it 128 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: can be tough. I think in Europe especially, it can 129 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: be hard, just because culturally eating is so different over 130 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: there than it is over here. 131 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: You mean, just in terms of the act of it, 132 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 3: or just the way the attention to detail, or. 133 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of both. I think 134 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: that in America specifically, there are a lot of options 135 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: for you to like eat substantially while also like moving 136 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: around and that's not even just relegated to like fast food, 137 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: like the idea of a diner or something like that, 138 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: where you you know, they're they're making you food, but 139 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: it's not designed for you to sit there all day 140 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: and eat. A diner is usually you know, you're you're 141 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: stopping and getting something convenient, You're sitting at a counter, 142 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: You're you get up when you're done. A lot of 143 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: the places to eat that I've encountered in Europe are 144 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: sit down cafes. There's tables outside, people are, you know, 145 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: smoking cigarettes and talking and they have time to sit 146 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: and eat. And I would imagine the picture that it 147 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: paints for me is people also eat good in their homes, 148 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: but when you're out and about in the world, they 149 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: don't have the same options. But there is good street food. Though, 150 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: there's good street food, like depending on you know, what 151 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: part of town you you can't get some good street 152 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: food up. There's just not a lot of restaurants. The 153 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: amount is a lot less. 154 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I got you, and I've found that. I mean 155 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 3: sort of like Canada. 156 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 2: I did not. 157 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 3: I had never crossed the Atlantic Ocean until you know, 158 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: I was thirty six or thirty seven years old, which 159 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: was great. I mean it was a privilege. So many 160 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 3: people never get to do that. But the food that 161 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: I've found over there that I like the most is 162 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 3: street food or like taking walk with you type food 163 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: I haven't found I have, but not as the same 164 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 3: abundance of that sit down by But it is cool 165 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 3: to just see people at three in the afternoon hanging out, 166 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 3: whether they're having a cup of coffee or a drink 167 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: or whatever. 168 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: You know. 169 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: That is one of my favorite cultural differences is when 170 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: you go to Europe, and I mean there's a different 171 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: version of this in London, and there is in France, 172 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: and there is in Amsterdam. But you especially when you're 173 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: going around this time of year. So I'll be going, 174 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: you know, it's May, it's nice outside. Everybody's outside eating, 175 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: everybody's outside, chilling, everybody's outside and joined the weather. Every 176 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: one is outside convening as human beings in a place 177 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: where like there are some cities in America where that 178 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: sort of built in. I think in East coast cities 179 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot more natural, organic sort of meeting spaces. 180 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: Here in la they got none of that. They got 181 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: none of that like, the closest you get out here 182 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: is like the grove, which is just like a retail, 183 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: fake place thing. Yeah, exactly, you don't really get the 184 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: sort of natural organic everyone is out sitting along a river, like, 185 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: you know, you don't really get that out here. So 186 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: that's one of the things I really do appreciate the 187 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: most is human beings just convening outside and enjoying the 188 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: weather and enjoying each other's company. 189 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you something about home because looking 190 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 3: at the forty or so episodes that the Questlov Show 191 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 3: has run this year, and this is rare, you are 192 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 3: our only guest that has Chicago roots. Really yeah, I 193 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 3: mean it's funny because Chicago comes up a lot, like 194 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 3: a lot of folks just reference it being musical influences 195 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 3: or folks have I'm trying to think if anyone lived there, 196 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 3: but the biggest Chicago reference at least if we are 197 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 3: going off of comments on YouTube or on Spotify or 198 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: you know, places people leave comments is Amir had a 199 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 3: conversation this spring with Padma Lakshmi, who has a new show, 200 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 3: America's Culinary Cup. I believe it just declared its winner. 201 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: I saw a few episodes was great, and she's kind 202 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 3: of elevating what she had done with Top Chef. But 203 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: Amir made reference to something I wanted to ask you about, 204 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 3: and you may or may not have answers, but he said, 205 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: it is a sin, or treated as a sin in 206 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 3: Chicago to put ketchup on a hot dog. 207 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 2: You know anything about this. 208 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: I've heard about it. I haven't eaten a hot dog 209 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: since I was thirteen years old, like one of the 210 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: first things I ever in my life decided I didn't 211 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: want know more of. Yeah, it was hot dogs when 212 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: I was a child. So I do hear that there 213 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: are customs. I do hear the Chicago dogs are treated 214 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: in some sacred manner, and you can perform various types 215 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: of sacrilege with how you treat the Chicago hot dog. 216 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: But I'm not. I'm not a part of the religion. 217 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: Without getting you know, too too personal. Was there was 218 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 3: it the ingredients? Was it just the practice of a 219 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 3: hot dog? 220 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 2: Like you know? Was? 221 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 3: Are you just like listen, there's so much other things 222 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 3: to consume in this world. 223 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: I think there it was a confluence of factors. I 224 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: was raised by my grandparents, who you know, were not 225 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: that far removed from you know, southern migration to Chicago. 226 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: So I ate a lot of like pork, a lot 227 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: of pork growing up like a lot of pork. And 228 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: I think I started realizing when I was relatively I 229 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: just didn't like it that much, Like it all just 230 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: felt too salty, uh, and not the greatest taste to me. 231 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: And then when I was about thirteen, I learned how 232 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: hot dogs were made, yeah, and and bolgoney and all 233 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: this other stuff that I was being fed, and I 234 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: was like, I don't want that anymore. I don't I 235 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: don't want mechanically separated, you know, I don't want to 236 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: get too I don't I don't want to use too 237 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: invokes too much dirty imagery here, But it's not the 238 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: parts of the animal that you want to eat. And 239 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: I felt like my experience of eating it was like, yeah, 240 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: that's kind of what this tastes like. It tastes like 241 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: amorphous gross meat. Like I don't, I don't enjoy this. 242 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: And then there was another component of me really discovering 243 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: hip hop and starting to understand and like the sort 244 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: of five percent stuff that like the Wu Tang was 245 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: talking about and and you know, so you know, I'd 246 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: stop eating like skittles cause you know, the gelatine and okay, 247 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: and so you know, I had gotten really aggressive on 248 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: that sort of pseudo spiritual tip of the identity that 249 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: I was taking on as a young hip hopper. So 250 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: that started to make me pretty stringent about what I 251 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: did or didn't eat at that time too, in a 252 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: way that does not persist to this day, but that 253 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: was part of the thinking at the time. 254 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 3: No, I can I can respect it and relate to 255 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 3: it in other ways of just like, you know, it's 256 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 3: funny how hip hop does that. So you know, I 257 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 3: know you've obviously you spoke about it. You've lived in 258 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 3: LA for more than a decade now, correct, right. 259 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: Yep, No, it's been it'll be twenty two years. 260 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 2: Oh twenty two damn twenty two years. That's that's crazy. 261 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 3: First of all, when you do go back to Chicago, 262 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 3: be it on tour or to see loved ones, is 263 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 3: there because you're not. I mean, if you're on toy 264 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 3: you're working, But if you have the time, is there 265 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 3: that thing that feels like home on the food side of. 266 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: The things, it really is. I really do need to 267 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: go get some of that deep dish. I really really, 268 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: I really do. 269 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: What's your spot? 270 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: I mean, yo, So like there was a spot by 271 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: my crip called Rico Benny's. I don't even know if 272 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: that's still around, but that's like the one I associate 273 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: with the deep dish most is lou Mault Natties. If 274 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: you've got time to go to a sit down nice place, 275 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: people talk crap about Gierdno's. I love gier Donald's. I 276 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: will always love gier Donald's. The smell of that crust, 277 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: all that spinach, and that deep dish pie. I'm a 278 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: big fan. I'll always love it. I do personally think 279 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: it's the superior piece of style. But I can say 280 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: that and also hold space for the fact that you 281 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: cannot eat that all the time. Die You will die 282 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: quickly if you eat that all the time. It's a 283 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: special thing. Reserve especial occasions, like when you say when 284 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: you have time, you have to have time to allow 285 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: them to cook this. You can only really eat two 286 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: slices of a day, so it takes you a while 287 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: to even eat it. But it is my favorite favorite 288 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: for you. 289 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 2: Oh that it's expensive too. 290 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 3: I went to the Loom I was, I went on 291 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 3: tour with Rock the Bells in two thousand and eight 292 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 3: on the media side, and I remember I took my 293 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 3: coworkers out. I thought I was just grabbing us all nice, 294 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 3: nice meal. And the bill came for that was that 295 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 3: was more than I had. Yikes, that was a past 296 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 3: due moment for sure. But one thing I wanted to 297 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 3: ask you that I just learned about recent years, and 298 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 3: you're a West Sider of Chicago. Sorry sounds like, excuse me, 299 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 3: I recently learned it. But this other style of pizza, 300 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 3: the bar, the tavern, is that a. 301 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: Thing is that you're talking about When it's cut into 302 00:15:58,960 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: the grid. 303 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like a jigsaw puzzle, but it's the opposite. 304 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: It's like it's super thin crust. 305 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 2: Cracker. 306 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, super thin crust. That's sort of associated in 307 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: my mind with the North Side. Actually it might be 308 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: on the West Side too, But that is the other 309 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: pizza style. Like when you know, you were in elementary 310 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: school and there was a pizza party in the school 311 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: brought into pizza. That's the sort of pizza that they brought. Okay, 312 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, cut on the grid and you know you 313 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: wanted the square pieza and the mill didn't necessarily want 314 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: the corners, but they was like all crust right because 315 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: of the way those were cut. But yeah, I grew 316 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: up eating that and I didn't even realize until I 317 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: was an adult that that was like a regional thing. 318 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I and I just learned there's a spot in 319 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: Philly that runs a cheap one like every day between 320 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 3: like four and six, like a happy hour thing, and 321 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 3: it's top three in Philly, and that's sacrilege because Philly 322 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: takes a lot of produence pizza.

So I feel like I 377 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: look at old videos of me performing sometimes because I'll 378 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: put that stuff on my live stream to sort of 379 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: start it off, Like while I'm setting up, I'll have 380 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: some old video on me performing playing. And I've always 381 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: had a table because I've always sort of had my 382 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: own gear to trigger my beats when I'm on stage, 383 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: and I used to keep a lot of like very 384 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: evocative knick knacks on the table. I had a little 385 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: crown that I used to pass around and have everybody 386 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: in the crowd touch. I used to have this little 387 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: ice king from Adventure time figure. I had a robot 388 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 1: somebody like a Felt robot somebody had stitched for me. 389 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: And it's like, I don't know where any of that 390 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,479 Speaker 1: stuff is now. And I don't think I lost all 391 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: of these things is in one go. I think just slowly, 392 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: but surely I would misplace one thing, misplaced another thing. 393 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: And now I don't really even carry stuff like that anymore. 394 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: But if anybody ever like found or had one of 395 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: those things that brought it to me, I'd be able to. 396 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 2: All right, let's manifest that. 397 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 3: So one last question, just as we, you know, chit 398 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 3: chat about food in Chicago, is there anything about Chicago 399 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: food that people get That's why I started to ask 400 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 3: with the Barracle. 401 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 2: Like people get wrong. 402 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 3: I don't mean in media, but just like a misnomer 403 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 3: when people show up. 404 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 2: That they might not. 405 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: Yet I mean, I do take it back to the 406 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: pizza thing. For one, I do think that as Chicago ones, 407 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: we are very loud in our support of Deep Dish pizza. 408 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: But I do think a common misconception is that people 409 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: think we want to or encourage people to eat that 410 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: every day. I don't think it's it's not a good idea. 411 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: It's it's similar to in London. You know, they're famous 412 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: their their uh fry breakfast or whatever. Oh yeah, yeah, 413 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: the sausage and the tomatoes and all of the stuff, 414 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: and they are known for that. But when you go 415 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: out there and you talk to them and they're like, yeah, 416 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: we don't eat this every day. That would be impossible. 417 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: So this is like this is like a Sunday morning 418 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: thing with family. 419 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 2: This is not special occasions. 420 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, And so you know that's I think 421 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: most food misconceptions start there. That, yeah, just because the 422 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: reason enjoys the thing, people think that that is the staple. 423 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: Like you know how people in New York they get 424 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: a slice of pizza almost every day from the corners, Like, 425 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: you can't do that with this pizza and nobody is 426 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: asking you to. 427 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 3: No, you can't do with the Philly cheese steak either, 428 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 3: and people assume and they love to talk about it 429 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 3: and like, to me, that is a low form of 430 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 3: conversation and one of people are genuinely interested with the 431 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 3: Philly cheese steak talk.
