She's got all of 5 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: her very specific recipes from the show. She invented some 6 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: of her own. There's I don't know a couple of 7 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: hundreds of recipes in this book. They just Amy sent 8 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: me the book, and uh, I've I've actually made a 9 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: couple of these. Uh, here's the book. We've made a 10 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: couple of these recipes. Uh, and they're delicious, delicious. Can't 11 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: wait to talk to Christy and she will be on 12 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: right after these words. Yeah, Christie, how are you doing? 13 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you doing? Wait a minute, wait 14 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: right off the bat here you were a stockbroker? A stockbroker, Yeah, 15 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: for about a year, not not very long. And where 16 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: were you stock brokering actually for Morgan Stanley Right in Burbank, 17 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: right by the studio in the Disney Channel building. Is 18 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: that right? Yeah? That is fascinating. I had just got 19 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: I had just gotten my finance degree. Um, and one 20 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: of my professors was like, have you ever thought about 21 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: doing this? And I was like, not really, and he said, 22 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: I think you'd be really good at it. So he 23 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: just brought me in and I was not very good 24 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: at it, but I was good with the investing part, 25 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: but not people and their money are a little squishy. 26 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: You know, they have to dollar cost average. What's wrong? 27 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: Just do it. Nobody can predict the future. Just put 28 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: a little bit in every month. What's your problem. You 29 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: could do it too. Anybody can do it. It's like, 30 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: it's not hard getting rich. You just need twenty thirty years, right, yeah, yes, exactly. 31 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: But so let me ask you enough. The bad is 32 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: the FED right now? Do they need to pull the 33 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: trigger now, like to stave off inflation? What's going on? 34 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: Why are they why? Why are they being so hesitant 35 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: because the economy is in such good shape. I think 36 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: I think they are hesitant now because of it's been 37 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: so long since they did a big raise that the 38 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: hysteria that will I mean, the market has already been 39 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: having a tough time. I think they don't want to 40 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: They can do a quarter point I mean, if they're 41 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna do if they're gonna do four to seven hikes 42 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: in it in the next year, year and a half 43 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: two years, When the hell are they going to start? 44 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like it's almost like they feel like 45 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: like they want inflation to be a permanent fixture of 46 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: the economy. Maybe I really think it's something that is 47 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: if they If it were me, I would think, Okay, 48 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: a lot of this inflation is probably supply chain oriented. 49 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: So if the supply chain can sort of work itself 50 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: out over the next quarter or two, then there won't 51 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: be any need to raise the rate. So that's what 52 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: I would how I would look at it. Demand demand 53 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: is not going to change. Is supply just will be available. 54 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: The supply will sort of get that regulate that'll drive 55 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: prices back down. Okay, all right, Well, you know, I 56 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: guess Powell knows more better what he's doing than I do. 57 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: I don't have that job that he's getting it from 58 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: all sides. Man, Oh my goodness. Um, but you know 59 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: that's one of the areas, like to apple in I'm 60 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: fascinated with it, and um, you know, it's interesting. I 61 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: never had money, and then when I got money, I thought, 62 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: oh boy, uh, there's so many people coming after it. 63 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: I'd better learn how to keep it. So that's you know, 64 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: then you you start to educate yourself a little bit um. 65 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: And the thing about getting it is you can get it, 66 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: and if you don't invest it, then it's gradually eroding 67 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: over time. Definitely important. This is not what I was 68 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: expecting to talk about with you today. What are your 69 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: top picks? You still like big tech or do you 70 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: think they're going to really take a bath in the 71 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: next quarter. I took a big bath this year on 72 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: a workhorse. I was all in, did you were you 73 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: in on that bandwagon? No? Is that an I p o, No, 74 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: it was it's a it's a they do electronic vehicles, 75 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: and so everyone thought the government was going to do 76 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: this huge control. That's when you would definitely invest. But jeez, 77 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: and they didn't and they picked in the company. So 78 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: it was a bad day. Oh my gosh, oh man, listen, 79 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: I uh, I don't know. A couple of years ago, 80 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: I I you know, I got very aggressive with three 81 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: three names, and uh two have melted down, ah horribly, 82 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: But one really popped. I mean, it really really popped. 83 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: And it's and it's you know, it's an interesting it's 84 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: sort of a David Goliath, David versus Glide. You know, 85 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: it's a. It's a big tech story where you know, 86 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: the big techie stole some I P. And it's like 87 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: the typical thing that big tech does, and I mean 88 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: everybody does. But they steal the I P and then 89 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: they you know, they change the name of the the 90 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: I P and then they manufacture and sell it themselves, 91 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: and they got caught and you know that kind of 92 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: a thing, and then they try to destroy the little 93 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: company by litigating it and delaying, delaying for years and 94 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: years and years and all this kind of stuff. So 95 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: it's interesting things going on in big heck. So I 96 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, I took and it's interesting how you invest 97 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: per your personality and your experience, and I took. You know, 98 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: I was never a goliath, always at David, and I 99 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: took the David's side worked out and it continues and 100 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: it continues to work out. It's like there really isn't 101 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: justice in the world, and there's justice in the investing world. 102 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: So I know, um, that's what they always say to 103 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: do is and you're I mean, exactly what you're saying 104 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: is right. You picked a few things, you diversified, and 105 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: when one is down, or a couple are down, the 106 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: other one should carry you so so that you're never 107 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: so far in the weeds that you can't recover right, right, 108 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: exactly right. You know. I wanted to get into this 109 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: on a on a on a sort of introductory level 110 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: for people, because they don't teach you about investing or 111 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: or finance in school, and they should. I mean, the 112 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: financial literacy is a massive problem and people and I 113 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: never knew how to invest. And you know, you know, 114 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: I do the same thing everybody does, know that has 115 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: any any bit of knowledge about investing, is they go back, 116 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: you know, these big names, they're high flying stocks, and 117 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: they're multiple hundreds, multiple thousand dollars, and they go, oh, 118 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: I you know, I could have got that for six 119 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: cents in darn it. Inside is always um, but you can't. 120 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: But you can't let that guide you. But yeah, I 121 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: just think people need to really understand what money is, 122 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people don't understand what 123 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: money represents and what it what it can do for you. Um. 124 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, it seems very intimidating, it does. You know, 125 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 1: it's a far it's far more complex than I ever realized, 126 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: but it's also at the same time far more simple. Um. 127 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: And you know, people like you and professional uh investment 128 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: advisors really simplify the process. UM. So I was so 129 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: I I was wanting to to write a book about 130 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: that or consult with somebody, UM because I think it's 131 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: really really important to get something into the curriculum at 132 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: schools so that people really understand what you know, compounded 133 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: interest is. I mean if you if if you were 134 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: seven or eight years old and you understood the power 135 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: of compounded interest, it would it would inspire you to 136 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: learn more about what investing. You know, what does this 137 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: what does this diversification mean? You know, in in stocks 138 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: and bonds and real estate? What what does it mean? 139 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: And how do we you know what does uh you know, 140 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: risk aversion mean? What what does that mean? And what 141 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: does risk off trades mean versus risk on trades? What 142 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: does it mean? And you know, money is fascinating. It 143 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: is absolutely cycles of money globally are It's absolutely fascinating. 144 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: And the one thing I find disturbing is people are 145 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: really attacking right now the monetary system um um capitalism 146 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: per se because you know, have a whole generation of 147 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: people that grew up in really trying times, you know, 148 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: during the two thousand seven UH the subprime crisis, right, 149 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: so you can't blame them, but wouldn't it be better, uh, 150 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: you know, to to really educate yourself on what money 151 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: does and what it really represents. Anyway, this I have 152 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: been a huge proponent of this for many years, that 153 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: that we teach about all of these things that are 154 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: important in school, but these really critical life skills are 155 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: sort of missing. And and you say seven or eight, 156 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: and a lot of people might hear that and think, well, 157 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: that's way too young to start up talking about money, 158 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: But I don't think it is. We start teaching kids 159 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: about recycling and all of these other sort of high 160 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: concept ideas, I don't think. I think kids are ready 161 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: to learn at that age. And if you just break 162 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: it down and make it like gamify it, make it 163 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: something fun, then you just instill start instilling those values 164 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: and those those that understanding early on. And I'm actually 165 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: a big fan of the apps that they have rolled 166 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: out in the past few years because it doesn't require 167 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: you to buy a hundred shares of IBM, you know, 168 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: for ten or fifteen thousand dollars. You can get in 169 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: there for a hundred bucks, five bucks or whatever. It 170 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: gives you a chance to sort of dip your toe 171 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: in and get comfortable with it. So I I love 172 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: your idea. I think a book would be great. Yeah, 173 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: you know. Anyway, Um, well you're here because you wrote 174 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: and had published. And by the way, I think I 175 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: spoke with your publishing house about doing an autobiography. Who 176 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: published your book? Yeah, I talked to sky Horse do it? 177 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: Are you gonna do it? I'm not gonna do it now. 178 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: We couldn't make the deal. We could not make the deal. Yeah, 179 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: it's kind of a funky deal. They're they're they're you know, look, 180 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: I get what they have to lay out to to 181 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: do to print and to do all this stuff. I 182 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: get it, but I mean it's just it was just absurd. 183 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: The whole thing was absurd. Are you gonna Are you 184 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: gonna try it with another publishing I don't know. Yeah, 185 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: I mean I'm talking to the bunch of people. Yeah, 186 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: um that would be great, But then I have to 187 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: sit down and actually write it, and I don't know 188 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: if I want to do that anyway. Um where are 189 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: you write? Uh? So you listen, listen, I got this cookbook. Okay, 190 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: you've got it? Yeah, eat like wow, And let me 191 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: tell you something I'm I love to cook, and I 192 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: do a lot of cooking for my family because I 193 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: just relaxes me. It's one It's one of these things 194 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: that that relaxes me. And there's all these really great 195 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: and even very simple, easy, easily explained, and brilliant recipes 196 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: in here. Look, Mac and she be for rown all 197 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: this stuff that I am familiar with. But it but 198 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: but you're putting, you know, you're adding these extra layers, 199 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: and it's all very easily explained, look easily laid out. 200 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: It's wonderful. So I sit here and I cook with this, 201 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: like the high tea cucumber mint sandwiches. Who would ever 202 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: think to make these? I made these the other day? 203 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: You did? Yeah, you got peanut peanut butter and jelly 204 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: sandwiches and and Sana Santa burger. What else? What we 205 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: have mock turtle soup? I mean, just one. I can't 206 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: wait to really I mean I've done a couple of these. 207 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: I can't wait to really get into this book. So 208 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: tell us tell us some you know, how did you 209 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: come to this side? Why how did you come up 210 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: with the idea in the first place. I just wanted it. 211 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: I wanted it for myself. I mean I watched the 212 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: show from the very beginning in two thousand and food 213 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: is everywhere and in the town, it's Friday night dinner. 214 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: It's built into that, It's built into Luke's Diners, Suki's 215 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: this chef, so there's all of this food everywhere, and 216 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: so as someone who likes to cook like you do, 217 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: I was always thinking, when are they going to come 218 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: out with a cookbook? And then they never did, and 219 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: I they kind of teased one because very early days 220 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: on the website there was a little section that said 221 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: Suki's recipes, like this is ancient history, and I remember 222 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: seeing like two or three recipes for pretty basic stuff, 223 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: and I thought, Okay, they're gonna come out with a 224 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: with a cookbook, but it never came. So fifteen years later, um, 225 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: I just launched a Kickstarter and thinking I want to 226 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: make these recipes for myself, maybe there are a few 227 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: other fans out there who want them too, And then 228 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: it just like ballooned into this big, huge thing. It 229 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: It was covered in BuzzFeed and then Food and Wine 230 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: and and the News and all of these places picked 231 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: up the story. And so I found out that there 232 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: are a lot of fellow fans out there who wanted 233 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: a cookbook, and so eat like a Gilmore was born. 234 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: It was pretty amazing. How long did it take it 235 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: to to compile all these recipes and and we're there, 236 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: you know, ten times many recipes, and you had to 237 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: you had to kill your favorite children as it were, 238 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: you know, and and and and come up with these 239 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: um for this cook For the first cookbook, I wanted 240 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: to make sure to get in almost all of the 241 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: iconic recipes, things like mock turtle soup, Founder's Day Punch, 242 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: Johnny Machette, all of this stuff, because I knew that's 243 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: what we all wanted as fans. And then I sort 244 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: of wanted to to use those as foundation recipes and 245 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: then build around them with things that would actually make 246 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: a cookbook that people would want to use for real life, 247 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: not just some gimmicky thing. So there were a few, 248 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: you know, I probably started with a hundred and thirty options, 249 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: and I whittled it down. Some of recipes I just 250 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: couldn't get to work. Some of them didn't taste very good, 251 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: so um, So I got down to I think a 252 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: hundred and four hundred and five somewhere in that. But 253 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: then there's a second book and actually I have a 254 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: third book coming out on August two. The food is 255 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: just unending in this show. Wow. Yeah, Um, so did 256 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: you did? Did did your publisher send you on a 257 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: little bit of a tour? Did you go out and 258 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: meet the people and do book signings or was it 259 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: on that level or no? I Um, I scheduled a 260 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: tour for myself. I did a southern California tour of 261 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: Barnes and Nobles. Good for you and m got to 262 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: meet a lot of fans and talk about the show 263 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: and take pictures and all that fun stuff. It was 264 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: really so you picked up the phone yourself, You called 265 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: the local Barns and Nobles says, hey, what do you 266 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: think about this? And the minute they heard Gilmore, they're like, yes, 267 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: let's do it right. Well, you know, I waited. I 268 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: didn't do the tour until the book had been out 269 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: for a year, so they already knew the book. And um, 270 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: you know, it was before the holidays when I knew 271 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: all the Gilmore's were in like fall Gilmore mode, and um, 272 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: it was fun. It was just really fun. That's great. 273 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: And so the people came out and they loved it 274 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: and anything associated with Gilmore people that fans just love it. 275 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: They just love it and they just love it. And 276 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: what was really nice is, Um, I had met a 277 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: few of the cast members at the fan fest, and 278 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: so each time I went out to a Barnes and Noble, 279 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: someone came with me, like either Aires came with me, 280 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: or Rose came with me, or Reni came with me. 281 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: So I got to sit and chat with them and 282 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: get to know them better, and it was really fun, 283 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: huh and very very interesting. Let me see, we have 284 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: some fan questions here. Um. This is Maryland from San Antonio. 285 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: What is your favorite recipe in the book? Well, you 286 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: mentioned it earlier. I am very partial to the Bifferoni rest. 287 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have that tonight. You actually, because 288 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: it's Uh. I love that kind of food, but I 289 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: don't like eating it with all the preservatives and stuff 290 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: in it. So knowing that it's all whole ingredients, is 291 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: it tastes very similar and feels better to eat? Yeah? Okay, Uh, 292 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: this is Charlie from Seattle. Suki had such incredible food. 293 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: Was there anything that was really tough to recreate? Yes? 294 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: I have yet to create the basket made out of 295 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: a pretzel stuffed with goat cheese. Oh my goodness not Yeah, 296 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: I haven't done that yet. Still working on that one. Okay, 297 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: let us let us know when it's ready. Uh uh. 298 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: This is Joshua from Delaware. He doesn't say where. What 299 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: are some examples of recipes on Luke's diner menu, I 300 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: guess that you have in the book. Well, we know 301 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: the Santa Burger, Yeah, the Santa Burgers in there. Um 302 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: all of the diner food, the pumpkin pancakes that Luke 303 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: makes with the cinnamon butter and the um it just pancakes, 304 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: the Monte Cristo sandwich, all the Lukes diner favorite but 305 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 1: Luke's really Luke's yours, Like this is a great area here, 306 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: but Luke's is very um unique, and that Luke also 307 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: cooks at home, So Luke there's more depth to his 308 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: abilities and his cooking style than the diner sort of 309 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: lets on. So there are also things like Luke bakes 310 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: his own focaccia bread, so there's a Lukes focaccia bread 311 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: recipe in there. And he also makes like a lamb 312 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: stew for Laura Lai and so that recipe is in there, 313 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: so it's sort of has a wider spectrum than the 314 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: Emily dinners or the Suki recipes. Sort of a very 315 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: interesting character in that way. Have you been contact and 316 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: this from me? Uh, I'm Scott from Los Angeles, UM, 317 00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 1: that's a question. Uh actually from New Jersey, but I'm 318 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Now. Have you been contacted by any 319 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: manufacturers to strike a deal to have any of these 320 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: products mass marketed? That's a great question. I have not. 321 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: I loosely had an idea to UM two package Founder's 322 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: Day Punch because it's a lot of ingredients and I 323 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: think it would be easier to I mean, I don't know. 324 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: It's an alcoholic beverage, so that might be hard, but 325 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: I thought it would be a really fun one. But 326 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: I have not. Let's in Founder's Day Punch, just the 327 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: basic ingredients. What what what alcohol?
