Speaker 1: Hello, I am Rosie Night and welcome back to X
Speaker 1: ray Vision, the podcast where we deep dive into your
Speaker 1: favorite shows, movies, comics and pop culture. We are coming
Speaker 1: to you from iHeart Podcast, where we'll be bringing you
Speaker 1: three episodes a week and news on Saturdays. And today
Speaker 1: I am joined by none other than super producer and
Speaker 1: super hot take Haver Aaron.
Speaker 2: Thank you Rosie and you know the only thing that's
Speaker 2: going to be hot this episode, I think is this
Speaker 2: beautiful food that we are bringing because today we're celebrating
Speaker 2: the holidays with an imaginary potluck featuring our favorite fictional foods. Now,
Speaker 2: I know you might be thinking, why would you want
Speaker 2: fictional foods? Well in reality? Why would you want dinner
Speaker 2: rolls when you could have lembus bread? Why would you
Speaker 2: want turkey when you could get all the protein that
Speaker 2: you need from a pile of bugs found in a
Speaker 2: rotting log that.
Speaker 3: Timon and Koombra have pulled out of the wood.
Speaker 4: And mining or nicious?
Speaker 3: Why would you.
Speaker 2: Need some, you know, pumpkin pie when you could finish
Speaker 2: your meal with everlasting gobstoppers. We're all going to take
Speaker 2: a seat at the table, introduce our food and where
Speaker 2: it's from and give a quick description on why we
Speaker 2: think this item is the perfect addition to our holiday meal.
Speaker 1: And now we are going to welcome our super producers
Speaker 1: Calm and Joel and Ian to take their seats our
Speaker 1: fictional friends giving to enjoy some delightful and delectable fictional food.
Speaker 5: How are you guys doing, because he has already begun.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, when before we go on Mike, we were
Speaker 1: all like, uh oh wait a minute, that abs And.
Speaker 6: This is very reminiscent of the time my grandma said
Speaker 6: she wasn't gonna make the mac and cheese, and then
Speaker 6: there was a giant fight over who now has the
Speaker 6: rights to bring mac and cheese, and three people brought
Speaker 6: mac and cheese and a clear winner was decided. So
Speaker 6: hopefully we have some really crisp lines here and we're
Speaker 6: able to make a full meal of it.
Speaker 4: I agree. I agree.
Speaker 2: Well, Rosie, since you are hosting us for this pot, look,
Speaker 2: do you want to start first and tell us what
Speaker 2: food item you're bringing?
Speaker 7: Okay, I will begin, And guys, I love to celebrate
Speaker 7: with my friends and cook for them and enjoy meals
Speaker 7: all throughout the day, so I will be beginning our
Speaker 7: all day fictional pot luck with the eggs and bacon
Speaker 7: from How's Moving Costa.
Speaker 8: Secudio Jiby, most beautiful bacon you've ever seen in the world, Joelle,
Speaker 8: we are the same person, so no surprise that we're
Speaker 8: also planning to bring this.
Speaker 1: Now we get to eat this. This is from the
Speaker 1: world of How's Moving Costle. This is the breakfast that's
Speaker 1: Sophie and how cooked together once she finds herself in
Speaker 1: the titular castle. It is cooked on the magical flames
Speaker 1: of Calcifer. And this is definitely one of the most beloved.
Speaker 4: Foods in fictional history.
Speaker 1: I think the smiley face of it, the perfectly cooked yolk.
Speaker 1: It's gonna give us the energy to get through the
Speaker 1: rest of our day and help each other with these
Speaker 1: delicious fictional food delicacies that we are bringing to this.
Speaker 4: So yes, that is my first pitch.
Speaker 3: The inclusion of Calcifer is great.
Speaker 4: You've got to bring We start off with breakfast. This
Speaker 4: is exactly it's great.
Speaker 1: Starting out strong, starting out strong, Gonnas go for all day.
Speaker 4: Anna.
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see Joelle's reaction to another person
Speaker 1: who has the.
Speaker 4: Same brain as us Ian. What have you brought to
Speaker 4: my delicious pot luck.
Speaker 9: So my delicious dish is also from a Ghibli film.
Speaker 9: This one is from Spirited Away, notably the opening sequence
Speaker 9: where she here on her parents first get to the
Speaker 9: spirit world and there's those abandoned foodstalls and her parents
Speaker 9: are like, oh, there's all this free food. And so
Speaker 9: mine is the Taiwanese like crystal meatballs. It's like the
Speaker 9: like meatball wrapped in like the mochi wrapper. Yeah, so
Speaker 9: they look incredible, they look delicious, like.
Speaker 5: The food this dinner party.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're gonna turn into pigs. But but isn't that
Speaker 9: what Thanksgiving is all about? Excess and gluttons, you know?
Speaker 9: Is that the real spirit of Thanksgiving? So I think, uh,
Speaker 9: that's gonna be my dish.
Speaker 4: Great choice.
Speaker 1: Every single time I watch that, I'm always like I
Speaker 1: would never have made it through. Like I'm eating the food,
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying the delicacies. I'm turning into a pig and
Speaker 1: hopefully one of my many nieces and nephews will save me.
Speaker 3: All right, Carmen, what do you have for us?
Speaker 4: All Right?
Speaker 10: I am this is a little bit of a stretch here,
Speaker 10: because I'm making up my own little fictional food item
Speaker 10: from one of my favorite series, Courage Cowardly Dog. So
Speaker 10: I think that there was some underrated food dishes and
Speaker 10: encourage the Cowardly Dog. But I always think of you
Speaker 10: can't have a pot lock without macaroni and cheese, and
Speaker 10: I always think of the episode specifically it's called Little Murial.
Speaker 10: There's an episode. It's season one, episode thirteen, and Courage
Speaker 10: is trying to make the perfect macaroni and cheese for
Speaker 10: a little mural. Now, the reason that this is like
Speaker 10: a fictional thing I've made up is this is the
Speaker 10: macaroni and cheese I bring is. However, you whatever your
Speaker 10: perfect macaroni and cheese is in your mind, that is
Speaker 10: what you're going to get when you bite into my
Speaker 10: fictional mac and cheese.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 10: Famously, in the episode Murial, she throughout the episode she's
Speaker 10: Courage just having a tweak because she's going, I hate
Speaker 10: too much macaroni, not enough macaronie, not enough cheese, Macaroni
Speaker 10: and cheese.
Speaker 4: She's the Goldielocks of mac and cheeses.
Speaker 10: So it's that Goldilock zone of the perfect mac and
Speaker 10: cheese for you for your tastes.
Speaker 1: I love that, aaron What what are you bringing to
Speaker 1: the fictional food potlock.
Speaker 2: I think I just want to bring whatever food makes
Speaker 2: Carmen speak that way for the entire recording. So if
Speaker 2: I can like bring that, I do that. But if not,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna follow the cheese train. Actually, I'm gonna bring us.
Speaker 2: We've had this group has had a lot of strange
Speaker 2: pizza takes over the course. I'm just gonna bring two pizzas, actually,
Speaker 2: because we have a picky group. So these are both
Speaker 2: pizzas from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series.
Speaker 3: First of all, perfect, we have.
Speaker 2: A pretty tame one. This is the pizza with buttersalami
Speaker 2: and yogurt. I think this is great. You get a
Speaker 2: little bit of meat, you get a little bit of fat,
Speaker 2: you get a little bit of dairy double yogurt.
Speaker 3: That's great. A little bit.
Speaker 1: If it's a spicy pepperoni with like a Greek yogurt,
Speaker 1: you could maybe tempt me.
Speaker 4: But yes, Joelle, I love that.
Speaker 1: It seems like you were learning for the very first
Speaker 1: time that the Ninja Tittles have terrible taste in pizza.
Speaker 4: They only choose the weird.
Speaker 2: Joelle, fast if you don't like that one, I think
Speaker 2: You're gonna love the second pizza I brought, which is
Speaker 2: peanut butter, avocado and extra pickles.
Speaker 10: You no avocado, You're done?
Speaker 6: I think about is there a surprising ladies could work
Speaker 6: together as a flavor combo?
Speaker 5: But no, why didn't your great food? No one could
Speaker 5: eat it?
Speaker 2: To keep this down, you can actually go on YouTube.
Speaker 2: There's there's multiple people who have cooked the various Ninja
Speaker 2: Turtles pizzas.
Speaker 3: It is wild to watch. There are really weird ones like.
Speaker 4: Lots of saudines.
Speaker 2: Yes, and it's a different thing like pepperoni and marshmallow.
Speaker 2: But I wanted to bring too that I felt like
Speaker 2: actually might kind of work. I do think a little
Speaker 2: bit of tomato sauce with peanut butter, avocado and extra pickles.
Speaker 3: Honestly, it might work.
Speaker 1: You just got and once again Aaron with a controversial tape.
Speaker 1: But I appreciate the Ninja Turtles and New York nature
Speaker 1: of it all because I do love the Ninja turtles
Speaker 1: and they do have terrible taste in pizza.
Speaker 4: And yes, that's also a great holiday watch.
Speaker 1: Recommend do go and watch those YouTube channels of people
Speaker 1: making all the real Ninja Turtles pizzas. Because it's pretty
Speaker 1: incredible to see the ones that are unsalvageable and the
Speaker 1: ones where you're like onto.
Speaker 4: Something, maybe something.
Speaker 2: And you know, Aboo is not here with us because
Speaker 2: he's actually waiting for his taco bell door dash.
Speaker 3: He was really upsessed, as he should.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna go to Joel. So, Joel, what are
Speaker 2: you bringing for your piece?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: Saved the day. Okay.
Speaker 6: So what I'm noticing about our table is we have
Speaker 6: a lot of sides and some disgusting pizza. So I
Speaker 6: have to really consider here how we can bring some
Speaker 6: balance to this table.
Speaker 5: And so I was thinking, well, you need a bird.
Speaker 6: It has a bird on the table, where their cinema
Speaker 6: has has showcased many a delicious bird over the years,
Speaker 6: especially at a holiday feast, but I think none finer
Speaker 6: than in a Muppets Christmas Carol, the truth that Scrooge
Speaker 6: serves at the end that bird yestening, but also it's
Speaker 6: split at the top, which means your skin is extra crispy.
Speaker 5: Okay, it is a juicy, humongous goose.
Speaker 6: I feel like I love a goose because it's like
Speaker 6: really old school kind of style holiday meal.
Speaker 5: I think this is what I'm gonna bring.
Speaker 6: There's also the little baby muppet one that Miss Piggy
Speaker 6: ser serve family, and I would like it to be
Speaker 6: on the table because it's cute.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the mom, she did her best even before Scrooge
Speaker 1: came through.
Speaker 4: But I agree, Joelle. I am a number one.
Speaker 1: Muppet Christmas Carol lover. And that is a delicious goose.
Speaker 4: Even though in England we're more.
Speaker 1: Chicken, we don't really eat. I'm not really My family
Speaker 1: was never a turkey family.
Speaker 11: They were.
Speaker 10: I am with your family.
Speaker 1: Yeah, noose, but you know what Christmas chicken, they'll be
Speaker 1: eating a little oh a ham.
Speaker 4: That's great news.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're not eating all this pizza, maybe we
Speaker 2: do have room for seconds.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I think there might be room
Speaker 1: for seconds. The pizza is probably going to be really.
Speaker 4: Good cold for breakfast.
Speaker 3: Gosh, I can't wait.
Speaker 1: Day cold, cold butter and salami yogurt pizza, Joel for you. So,
Speaker 1: now that we have realized there will be room for leftovers,
Speaker 1: we're going.
Speaker 4: To take a quick break and then we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: To talk about our second dish that we would bring
Speaker 1: to the fictional potlock in reverse.
Speaker 11: Order and we're back Joel.
Speaker 6: All right, so we're again flush with sides and we've
Speaker 6: got a goose now, so that's great. I'm really I'm
Speaker 6: glad that our table is filling out. And when I
Speaker 6: think about, you know, what needs to be added, it's
Speaker 6: it's obviously desserts. Now again, there's some real contenders out here, guys.
Speaker 6: I contemplated bringing the green jiggly Jello from Jurassic Park,
Speaker 6: because have you ever seen jello?
Speaker 10: I have it really good?
Speaker 4: Absolutely, But then.
Speaker 6: Then I thought about the greatest song about food of
Speaker 6: all time. Just be our guest, a parade of fabulous.
Speaker 4: Wow iconic.
Speaker 6: For a goo and cheesy flay. But I would like
Speaker 6: to bring the pie and putting on flombay. Okay, I
Speaker 6: want fire on my dessert.
Speaker 5: I want it. I want a presentation.
Speaker 6: Okay, I've never set putting on fire, and it sounds
Speaker 6: like fun. Could be a little bit of a piratic,
Speaker 6: I could be a bit of a foodie. It's like
Speaker 6: the best of both worlds coming together, pie and putting
Speaker 6: on bombee.
Speaker 9: Let's get it.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's an incredible hack.
Speaker 1: I love how you were like, yeah, well, if I
Speaker 1: chose the meal with every dish.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that.
Speaker 6: I don't know, just the pie and putting on fambet.
Speaker 6: I bring the one dish, stay within the rules.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I feel like it's still a large portion,
Speaker 1: so I appreciate you being so generous.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna change what I was gonna do,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna play off of Joel's pie and putting
Speaker 2: on flombay. We got a little bit of flame, a
Speaker 2: little bit of heat, let's keep it going. We also
Speaker 2: don't have anything to drink yet, so I'm going to
Speaker 2: go to the bar. I'm gonna pour all the leftover
Speaker 2: bits of liquor into a blunder and oh, what's that?
Speaker 2: A little bit of children's cough syrup as well, and
Speaker 2: then we're gonna drop a cigarette butt into it. And
Speaker 2: that is flaming Homer from The Simpsons.
Speaker 4: This man like this?
Speaker 5: Why does he hey us? Why did I am biam?
Speaker 4: He's just drawling my dinner pie?
Speaker 10: Like ye, Aaron, what are you bringing to the dinner
Speaker 10: verse The fire tastes good and it passes, as Homer says,
Speaker 10: it passes the first test.
Speaker 2: He doesn't go blind, so drink I'm serving everyone a
Speaker 2: flaming Homer.
Speaker 9: Wow, I don't know if you're getting invited to the
Speaker 9: next one erin I don't know the last.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: You all chose eggs and bacon and pie fictional food.
Speaker 3: Here we go, like, let's celebrate these weird items.
Speaker 5: I don't want to drink a cigarette, is all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: That's just just the fire, just the fire.
Speaker 4: Just pass it hot take kids. I would like to
Speaker 4: drink a cigarette.
Speaker 1: But you know what I will say when when I
Speaker 1: went to uh, when I went to Orlando, what my
Speaker 1: nephew wanted me to buy more than anything from the
Speaker 1: Simpsons themed world was a flaming Homer or a flaming Mo.
Speaker 4: He was like, you want to get one? And I
Speaker 4: was like, bro, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 4: I'm sure it's some kind of alcoholic drink.
Speaker 2: But I did say flaming home or not a flaming mo.
Speaker 2: Let's do the DIY version.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: I'm saying this is like the flaming Homer. We can't
Speaker 1: get the flaming mo. Okay, common let's I'm very interested
Speaker 1: to see where this is going, because this turned out
Speaker 1: way more chaoic than expected, which I love.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know it really Okay, I am tempted to
Speaker 10: change course and go in the direction of Aaron because
Speaker 10: I am thinking now of Simpson's episode, a legendary Simpsons
Speaker 10: episode where the steamed hams episode.
Speaker 4: We're going to say the grab juice.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 4: And what is this?
Speaker 10: Uh so it's in the season seven episode two Short
Speaker 10: Films about Springfield.
Speaker 4: Oh, I love that episode.
Speaker 10: And so there's a steamed ham segment, a segment that
Speaker 10: is a very popular It's now been turned into a meme.
Speaker 10: But I believe what's the principal's.
Speaker 1: Name, Skinner Skinner, Principal Skinner has who.
Speaker 3: Is Yeah, Carmen is like, I'm going to bring a
Speaker 3: meme to the.

Speaker 4: Are you bringing? Are you bringing this steamed hams? Are
Speaker 4: you bringing? Like actually nice hamburgers?
Speaker 3: You know what, well, don't.
Speaker 10: When I think of steamed hams, I think of a
Speaker 10: crystal burger. And I know y'all don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: No, explain, it is a crystal we love we love

Speaker 4: say I'm gonna make sure that in the show notes.
Speaker 1: I wrote an article many years ago, like I don't know,
Speaker 1: probably when I was first doing this, like nine years ago,
Speaker 1: for women write about comics. Don't kick me out the
Speaker 1: I r S or DHS. It was volunteer work while
Speaker 1: I was waiting for my green card. I would write
Speaker 1: there for free. And I wrote an article about fictional
Speaker 1: food and the warmth of fictional food and hobbits and lambers,
Speaker 1: bread and spirit away and it was so cozy and delicious,
Speaker 1: and I love how like inherently deranged this selection has.
Speaker 4: It's so good and let's go for it. What's coming next?
Speaker 9: So we need I think another dessert. So what I'm
Speaker 9: going to bring is the imagination pie from Hook Steven
Speaker 9: sp Yes, yes, yes, those technicolor pies and desserts. They
Speaker 9: you know you have to use your imagination to conjure
Speaker 9: them up to the table. There's so much red forty
Speaker 9: and all those it just looks like As a child,
Speaker 9: I was just always fascinated. I was like, what does
Speaker 9: that taste like? It looks so good, and my imagination
Speaker 9: it's like a delicious, like Rainbow Sherbert kind of thing.
Speaker 9: But you know what's more delicious in the power of
Speaker 9: imagination and friendship. So that's what I'm bringing for dessert.
Speaker 9: It's that imagination pie.
Speaker 5: From Rosie Bring Us Home.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that sequence.
Speaker 1: I was definitely like, who amongst us was not in
Speaker 1: love with Rufio Dante Basco?
Speaker 3: Still in love with you.
Speaker 4: You're wonderful.
Speaker 1: So I love imagination pie, but you know what imaginary?
Speaker 1: So I'm going to end in case people want to
Speaker 1: taste a delicious dessert they can actually eat. I'm going
Speaker 1: for the Ziggy Piggy Sunday from Bill and Ted Ziggy's
Speaker 1: ice creams where which is the Sunday that Napoleon eats
Speaker 1: and when he finishes it, they say Ziggy Piggy, Ziggy
Speaker 1: pig and he gets a pin and it's like the
Speaker 1: world taste delicious, giant looking ice cream Sunday and it's delectable.
Speaker 1: And this Ziggy Piggy's is definitely, like you know, based
Speaker 1: on chuck E Cheese, so very in my interests, and yes,
Speaker 1: I think imagination pie.
Speaker 4: We begin with the taste of love and friendship.
Speaker 1: We end with probably a dairy stomach disaster, but hey,
Speaker 1: we're going for chaos, so you know what, at least
Speaker 1: it's delicious first.
Speaker 2: All right, So just to recap Rosie, you brought suyo
Speaker 2: Jibli eggs and bacon from How's Moving Castle and a
Speaker 2: Ziggy Piggy Sunday. You have a theme going there, definitely.
Speaker 2: And then Ian brought spirited aways abandoned foodstall meatballs and
Speaker 2: the imagination pie from Hook. Joel brought the goose that
Speaker 2: Scrooge serves at the end of Muppet Christmas Carol and
Speaker 2: the pie and putting on Flambay.
Speaker 3: That's the most normal meal, a most normal.

Speaker 2: extra pickles and buttersalami and double yogurt, and then a
Speaker 2: flaming Homer and Carmen brought mac and cheese and a
Speaker 2: real item, the crystal burger, which you get in real life.
Speaker 8: Choices.
Speaker 5: But he did follow the assignment.
Speaker 1: Aren's like Aaron said, nobody said it had to be
Speaker 1: delicious for you said just fictional.
