16
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: How did you become the King of the Burger? George?

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: It was an accident of complete fluke. What happened, I was.

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 5: The short story was that I was looking for something

19
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 5: to do in the documentary film world. I worked in

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 5: television commercials, get a little bored, and I decided to

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 5: start making a Hamburger documentary.

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: I just I chose a culinary school. Nope, Oh, I

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: thought you were like you went to court On Blue

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: University or whatever the fuck it's called you don't have

25
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: to do that for hamburgers. That's what.

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 5: I made it up, the whole thing up myself twenty

27
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 5: two plus years ago.

28
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: Wait, so were you looking for the best burger or

29
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: you were trying to.

30
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 5: What was the I was just trying to find great

31
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 5: hamburger stories.

32
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: Why were you trying to find great hamburger stories?

33
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 5: Because I was trying to make a documentary no one

34
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 5: had done before. No one was talking about the hamburger

35
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 5: twenty two years ago, and I don't care. Nobody people

36
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 5: were hamburger was like something fast food, crappy, ate a

37
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 5: McDonald's whatever, or it was something you made in your backyard.

38
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 5: No restaurants were really serving great ones back then.

39
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 3: Oh this like this era of like the gourmet burger

40
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: is non existent.

41
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, it didn't exist. And I wasn't trying to do anything.

42
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 5: I was just trying to tell stories about people who

43
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 5: had hamburger restaurants, very simple, like slice of life stuff.

44
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 5: The stories about the hamburger as equally as it was

45
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 5: about the people who were making them, fun American stories,

46
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 5: and ended up a sort of snowball to di this weird,

47
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 5: you know, twenty two years later, here I am to you, wait.

48
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: Wait, and then you started making hamburgers yourself or dissecting

49
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: them or yeah.

50
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 5: I got to the point where I had dud told

51
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 5: a ton of stories, and my agent said, you should

52
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 5: probably write a cookbook. You know a lot about burgers now,

53
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 5: And I said, well, I don't. We know how to

54
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 5: make hamburgers, so but you know a lot about them.

55
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 5: So I said, okay, I know the histories. I could

56
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 5: figure this out. And I started making hamburgers.

57
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: And that was it.

58
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 5: I went on the New Show whatever it was almost

59
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 5: ten years ago to talk about hamburgers and they say,

60
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 5: what hamberger can you make in four minutes and talk

61
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 5: about it at the same time in front of a

62
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 5: crowd to twohundred people, and I said, the Oklahoma Friday Nindburger.

63
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that was it. The brilliance is a simplicity.

64
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 4: Yeah.

65
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 3: I think Connor O'Brien always would say, if you overthink,

66
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: you start to stink and like it. As soon as

67
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 3: you get too heady or intellectual, you lose the crowd.

68
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: Art and creativity is primal. It's not intellectual. It's not

69
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: for a fucking stuffy professor to break down. It has

70
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: to speak to people's hearts and their organs. It doesn't

71
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: that would have to speak to their intellect, It has

72
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: to speak to all their own body.

73
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think like that's the brilliant of what

74
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: you do.

75
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: I love.

76
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 5: I'm craving a fucking hamburg and Hamburgers are fantastic.

77
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 4: Yeah.

78
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: We did a Hamburger shoot yesterday.

79
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 5: The first thing I could to think of what we're

80
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 5: done with the shoot, is I want another Hamberger.

81
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: Okay, what's the worst bomb you've ever experienced? The worst

82
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 3: failure in your career or not even in career. It

83
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: can be in a personal life kind of good question,

84
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: fall on your face moment or literally.

85
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: Follow my face.

86
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 5: When I was in a band in the nineties, I

87
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 5: had the greatest time. I always said to myself, if

88
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 5: I could just be in a rock star, I'd be happy.

89
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 5: You know, it would have killed me eventually. But the

90
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 5: way back then, I drank way to my I got really,

91
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 5: really hammered before I went on stage. Every single night.

92
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 5: It was like that was the thing, whiskey, whiskey and

93
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 5: beer together and and some other weed. So it was

94
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 5: a problem. But I would get on stage a completely

95
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 5: was I was in my own zone. I must have

96
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 5: sounded to my mind, I was I sounded great. And

97
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 5: I was the guy in the band who was a

98
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 5: little flashy, and I would do these jumps. So I

99
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 5: was a big fan of Pete Townsend who and I

100
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 5: would try to get air and I would I was

101
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 5: successful timy air.

102
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: All the time. And one time I literally went straight

103
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: up in.

104
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 5: The air and came back on the drum kit and

105
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 5: crushed the drum kit. And all I remember was being

106
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 5: in the air and then looking up at the drummer

107
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 5: saying to me.

108
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: He looked at me, and he says, what the fuck?

109
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 5: And I heard someone of the microphones saying we're going

110
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 5: to take a short break and rebuild the drum kit

111
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 5: and get back here.

112
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: Did you break your back? I was so fucked up.

113
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 2: I was so hammer. I don't know what. I just

114
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: I think we took a break. We may have gone back.

115
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: I think we go back on stage like an hour later.

116
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: Were you drinking straight whiskey or like k I was

117
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: just I was just stupid drunk.

118
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 4: You may.

119
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 2: I think there was a girl out of the bottle

120
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: kind of thing.

121
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 4: You know.

122
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 5: We were in a bar, so we were I don't

123
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: know we were. I was just at that moment I

124
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 5: promised the band and they were.

125
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: Pretty pissed at me. I had a big crowd everything.

126
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: I would never drink at work or on stage again.

127
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 5: So that's the good, because that's the good thing.

128
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: I get drunk after work. I don't get that. After that,

129
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: I was I kild, do it know? A pair is

130
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: nice with whiskey and beer cocaine? It was really well,

131
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: you're talking about burger condiments. That's a condiment. Good air there.

132
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 4: That's amazing.

133
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: What about just any documentary making failures or any frustration.

134
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: I can't imagine making docks because somebody told me somebody

135
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: ran a doc film festival. I was talking to you

136
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 3: at a coffee shop.

137
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: They said the average doc takes seven years.

138
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 5: To make or something those like the pro the other pro.

139
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 5: I spent a lot of time. I have a lot

140
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 5: of money to do that.

141
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: I'd never did that kind of stuff.

142
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 5: I just we spent I spent two years working on that,

143
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 5: my first Hamburger documentary. But that was just because I

144
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 5: was I had at a real job and I was

145
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 5: doing the whole thing on my own. But I ran

146
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 5: this thing for years and we still actually have it.

147
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 5: But the pandemic kind of killed. It's something called the

148
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 5: Food Film Festival. And you know, I do know if you

149
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 5: know about food. So what we do is we it's

150
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 5: a it's a regular festival that takes submissions but only

151
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 5: food films, and then we select films based on what

152
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 5: themes we see, and then we have nights that where

153
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 5: you show a bunch of films about a certain type

154
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 5: of food and you serve the food to the audio

155
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 5: us while they're sitting there, but little pieces of it,

156
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 5: little tease like it was if it happens, well, it

157
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 5: usually happens every October. Where we canceled the last couple

158
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 5: of years because of the pandemic. We haven't had the

159
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 5: guts to bring it back. But it's a fantastic idea,

160
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 5: but we we did it for years and we at

161
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,000

163
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 5: cinemas before they tore it down unfortunately.

164
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: And there's a kitchen there.

165
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 5: We were ready to go in the kitchen, ready to go,

166
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 5: and the N cell system went off, which you know,

167
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 5: the the the fire suppression system sends all this dust,

168
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 5: white dust, on all of our food and the mayor's

169
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 5: The mayor is about to walk in. Now it's a

170
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 5: three alarm fire. Ftn WY is in the house and

171
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 5: we're trying to figure out how to both. It was

172
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 5: just it was like it was electrical fire, was an

173
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 5: actual fire, actual fire. Smoke was only smoke, tons of

174
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 5: smoke in the building. We're trying to figure out to

175
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 5: get rid of the smoke, how to get rid of

176
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 5: the fdn Y before the mayor shows up to give

177
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 5: us a proclamation.

178
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: Fuck that suck. That was wild.

179
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 5: That was we almost we almost lost everything at that moment.

180
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: How did the did you recover? We did? We actually

181
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: we tossed all the dusty food.

182
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 5: We did we had what was left over. We ended

183
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 5: up we had friends in the neighborhood who took all

184
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 5: of our food and cooked it and sent.

185
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: It back to the festival.

186
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 5: For us, it's like we have one person, but we

187
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 5: have a crazy producer who the only guy who could

188
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 5: have pulled that off.

189
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: So he's insane. Yeah, that's a movie.

190
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: I mean, that's like like a Marx Brothers through Stuges

191
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: plot or something. It's like I Love on the conveyor.

192
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like you had to go to outsource the

193
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: food to like friends in the neighborhood that were like

194
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: cooking furious we did.

195
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 5: We had we had a food truck, two food trucks

196
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 5: pull up on the curb and start cooking for us.

197
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 5: Had other friends in a Hamburger restaurant down the streets

198
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 5: supplied us with you.

199
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: Know, a thousand Hamburgers. That's amazing. It's like a Benny Hill.

200
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,679
Speaker 2: The customers they never knew, they had no idea, they

201
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: had no idea.

202
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 5: It's like it all happened a half an hour before doors.

203
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 5: I literally I was so relieved. We got completely hammered

204
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 5: after and I remember I I have a picture of

205
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 5: somewhere there's a trend with you relationship to work and

206
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 5: booths that what I've done. But I remember I took

207
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 5: the proclamation, which is if you know what a proclamation

208
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 5: looks like, it's like, you know, it's like it's like

209
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 5: a dead scroll or something. It's like a frame piece

210
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 5: of art. And I had had my lanyard. I hung

211
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 5: it off my lanyard like flavor flame.

212
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: Clock and walked around with the population.

213
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: With a recondre, with a recadre.

214
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 3: What is the guide to the layman, What is like

215
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 3: the key to a successful hamburger?

216
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: What do you avoid?

217
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: Is there like a list like don't do this, this

218
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: and this, and then is there like a try to

219
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 3: do this, this and this.

220
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, the big one everyone hates to hear, which

221
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 5: is just to get ketchup off your burger for starters,

222
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 5: unless you're off, unless you're combining it with like a

223
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 5: sauce like a mayo or mustard or something. Ketchup directly

224
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 5: on a burger patty is the one of the worst

225
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 5: things you can do to your burger. Why is because

226
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 5: it's too sweet and it just get masks the beautiful

227
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 5: flavor of grease, beef grease, which is very important, I think.

228
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 5: And one other thing that is just keep it simple.

229
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 5: And people will screw up all the time and do

230
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 5: not keep it simple. They put too much crap on there.

231
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 5: They put they go nuts. They're all going to truffle

232
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 5: this and whatever.

233
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: You don't need that. Yeah, so are pickles and onions?

234
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 5: Okay, So onions are the first condiment ever, that's the

235
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 5: original condment before there was obviously ketchup or anything else,

236
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 5: before there was even cheese there. I mean, onions pre

237
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 5: date cheese by almost fifty years.

238
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: Believe it burger okay.

239
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 5: Onions for sure, Pickles for sure. Mustard is a great

240
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 5: condiment on a burger. Can I mix mail and ketchup?

241
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 5: That's okay, totally okay. I like I like barbecue sauce

242
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 5: on a burger.

243
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: It's not ketchup. What is the history of a Hamburger?

244
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: Does it have anything to do with Hamburg?

245
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 4: Yes?

246
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: It does.

247
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 5: Is it from Hamburg, Germany? So Hamberg, Germany? Yes, the

248
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 5: port town, the port town of Hamberg, Germany where it started,

249
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 5: didn't well, there's an idea of a Hamburg It's called

250
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 5: a Hamburg plate or take in the style of Hamburg.

251
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 5: Was served on a plate and eat with the knife

252
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 5: and a fourth. That came from Hamburg. But it came

253
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 5: to the US. Of course the Americans made it portable. Okay,

254
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 5: that's how it became. How old is it it goes back?

255
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 5: We don't know exactly, but we have an idea that

256
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 5: goes back to somewhere in the eighteen eighties, eighteen eighties,

257
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 5: eighteen eighties. They're the first, really the earliest written piece

258
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 5: of information we have about the Hamburger is eighteen ninety four.

259
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: Is Hamburger named by Americans to be like, hey, these

260
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: these Germans are bringing these things from Hamburg. Or was

261
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: it named in Hamburg as Hamburger's.

262
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 5: No, it was actually named in the US as steak

263
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 5: in the style of Hamburg. And it was actually named

264
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 5: in New York. So if you're from Hamburg, Germany, you're

265
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 5: a hamburger.

266
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right. It's one of the really hungry

267
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: right now.

268
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 5: It's one of the earliest ethnic foods in the US.

269
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 3: Actually, think in hamburger, and then do you cook it

270
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: in I don't know how to make a hamburger at

271
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: your level?

272
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 2: Is it like cooked in tallow? Wait? Wait, wait wait

273
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: animal fat? My level is not that, not that high.

274
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 5: I think I think you're being Anybody could do this,

275
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 5: anyone can do it.

276
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: Did you do it in tallow or does it just

277
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: cooking its own fat or what its own fat? That's

278
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: so you're gonna but you put butter on it.

279
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 5: But butter burns too fast, No, butter. The best thing

280
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 5: to do is to take some leftover tallow which you have,

281
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 5: or just a hamburger. If you have a nice season pan,

282
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 5: you put a burger in there, you're gonna and it

283
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 5: has enough fat in it, you're gonna create the perfect

284
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 5: cooking environment for a hamburger, okay, every single time?

285
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: And where do you get your I don't know what's

286
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: your secret? So I don't you know to answer anything

287
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: you don't want to, But what do you get your meat?

288
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: This is just for my own personal journey. I'm following

289
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 3: you home, following you the whole foods or whatever.

290
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: Do you have like a secret meat source?

291
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 5: So I do use a supplier in New Jersey called

292
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 5: Schweiden Sons. And I only throw the name out there

293
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 5: because they supply all the five guys in the country

294
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 5: and they only do one thing, which is ground beef,

295
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 5: and that's it. That's why I use the fantast. Also,

296
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 5: they're one of the only companies that actually sell retail

297
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 5: seventy five twenty five ground beef, which it sounds oh yeah, whatever,

298
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 5: what the hell does that mean or why is that important?

299
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 5: It's because it's a higher fat content than any other

300
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 5: beef out there, and fat is flavor.

301
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: So it's all about the fat. Yeah, let's put salt

302
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: on the burger.

303
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 5: Is a fat only salt? Salt cooking cooking elements? Yeah,

304
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 5: but not as a flavor.

305
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: Is so the are simplistic. The beauty of them is

306
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: they're simplicity.

307
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, now that I'm fucking starving, where where should

308
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: I order burger from?

337
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 3: I don't drink beer typically unless I'm in the Islands

338
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 3: or Thailand. There's something about being sweaty, yes, and swampy

339
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: and on vacation and near a body of water that

340
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: beer is like delicious to me. But when I drink

341
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: in my normal life, beer fills me up too fast.

342
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: Rum and rum cocktails. I'm I'm part pirate.

343
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 5: I fucking love yeah, I love I love cocktail. I

344
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 5: love making cocktails. I kind of picked the little cocktail

345
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 5: thing about four or five years ago, and I can't

346
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 5: stuff now.

347
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: You do fat washing? You ever fuck with that? I've

348
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 2: not gotten that far.

349
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna take you to a fucking there's a

350
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 3: bar that does all fat washing.

351
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: Clarified punches. So they'll put like tallow or olive.

352
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: Oil or bacon fat oil or brown butter or bacon fat,

353
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: and you put it in the freezer with the booze overnight.

354
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: It's about like four to one. So it's like whatever

355
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: four ounces of booze one ounce of animal fat. Put

356
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 3: in the freezer over night, agitated put in the freeze

357
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: over night, get all the fat out of it. And

358
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: what it does it takes all of the bitter agents

359
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: out of the alcohol and it infuses flavors. So like

360
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 3: you do bacon fat whiskey, you remove the fat the

361
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: next day the fat. All that the tannins in the

362
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: booze and everything that makes booze bitter attaches to the fat.

363
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: You discard the fat and then you have this like

364
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: delicious velvety crystal clear. You put it in coffee filters

365
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 3: over and over, strain it over and over and over

366
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: and over again, and you have this delicious velvety clear

367
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 3: flavor and fused spirit and it's the best. Once that

368
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: you have to really drink it. Once I want to

369
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: talk about it, people are like, what, yeah, I know,

370
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: it's not like Neil the Grass Tyson explaining a cocktail.

371
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 3: But when you drink it, you're gonna be like, fuck,

372
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: this is the best. Talk to Benny about it. Benny

373
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: will convert converted him and he will or will just

374
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:24,760

00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: It is a lot of fun.

383
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 4: It makes the demons go away a little bit.

384
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: They always come back to hot Mekes.

389
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: I don't always have an answer because most shows are fine.

390
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: Most shows are I don't throw them under the buck.

391
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of bad shows.

Speaker 5: Yeah, because I'm a I'm a huge fan of love music.

393
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: You can, you can, you can, you can protect the innocent,

394
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 3: you can make a fake name but it would be

395
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: more intriguing if.

396
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: You said the real name.

397
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 3: But I will think, let me think, like historic, I've

398
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: seen a lot of comedians bomb, I've seen comedians like

399
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 3: get bottles store them on stage.

400
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: That's so tough. That's a tough job, man. Yeah, I

401
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: would not I would want to do that. That's not

402
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: a good idea.

403
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 5: No, It's like acting, and then there's then there's comedian.

404
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 5: It's like there's a whole different world out there.

405
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,239
Speaker 3: You are on stage with just a microphone. Yeah, convincing

406
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: strangers to stop talking to each other, quiet down, pay attention.

407
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: To you, and laugh out loud. Yeah, And you're a

408
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: complete stranger.

409
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 3: So you have to convince them instantly that you are

410
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: likable and they want to be on your side, and

411
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,119
Speaker 3: that you're funny.

412
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,760

413
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: I wouldn't wish it off my worst enemy. And you're

414
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:07,639

415
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: I'm still doing I mean, I wish I was an

00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 3: oligarch or something so I can just retire and live

417
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: on a tomato farm in Italy.

418

429
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 5: ones I have seen. It's not even worth bringing up

430
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 5: that I are not good, right. I saw Pixies and

431
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,600

00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 5: you could tell that Frank Black was pissed off.

434
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 2: Oh no, it was something wrong because he was pissy.

435
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 2: Was the opening act, I guess, and we're all in

436
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 2: the well. I mean, he should have figured that out

437
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 2: ahead of the dour I went on.

438
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 5: And I said, I was like, what's that happened? It

439
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 5: was great to see him, but it was like, I

440
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 5: feel bad. It was like, not really a great show, unfortunately,

441
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 5: Like how was he being being curmudgeoned in.

442
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: Between people in the audience? You know?

443
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 5: It was like literally, which is normal for him, just

444
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 5: not you know, I can tell he was not a

445
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 5: good mood.

446
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: It rubs off on the audience.

447
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 5: That's a little Toezer came out and everyone roushed the stage.

448
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 5: I'm sure he saw that, you know, and probably didn't help.

449
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: Well, come on, like, you know, we're all interpo.
