Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central show.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalists At Comedy Central, it's America's
Speaker 2: only source for news.
Speaker 1: This here's the Daily Joke with your home.
Speaker 3: Michael Costa, Welcome to the Daily Show.
Speaker 1: I'm Michael Costa. We've got so much to talk about tonight.
Speaker 1: Gambling addicts have a new sport to bet on. Costco's
Speaker 1: out of toilet paper again. And Charlemagne the God is
Speaker 1: here to tell us who's working the polls. So let's
Speaker 1: get right into the headlines. Come on. The presidential election
Speaker 1: is just thirty four days away. And if you thought
Speaker 1: the stakes couldn't get any higher, well, good news, now
Speaker 1: they can.
Speaker 4: Well you could soon see folks betting on the outcome
Speaker 4: of this year's congressional elections. That's because of federal Appeals
Speaker 4: Court declient to block a lower court's decision allowing it.
Speaker 4: It is a blow for a government agency that argued
Speaker 4: doing so could undermine election integrity.
Speaker 1: He there, place, you have bets place, ye, mat democracy
Speaker 1: may fall, but you bake account got your half hair o? Hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you. But yes, betting on elections is about to
Speaker 1: be legal, which is great for everyone who wishes they
Speaker 1: could see even more fan dual ads. But seriously, this
Speaker 1: is shameful. Why are we betting on congressional races when
Speaker 1: this country could collapse into a fascist dictatorship. Because that's
Speaker 1: what I want to bet on. You know, if I
Speaker 1: could parlay a fascist takeover with the over under on
Speaker 1: the Jets game. Ooh baby, I'm in the money. I'm
Speaker 1: in the race. This is the last thing American democracy needed. Hey, honey,
Speaker 1: how'd the voting go? You know? I stood in line
Speaker 1: for hours. Then when I finally got to the booth,
Speaker 1: Tony the sharkfin Gambino threatened to shank me if my
Speaker 1: boat doesn't help them cover the spread. Let's move on
Speaker 1: to a pretty big story that happened this week. You
Speaker 1: might not know this, but when you order a pham
Speaker 1: roller or a stapler on Amazon, it's not just magically
Speaker 1: made on your doorstep by elves. No, it's made in
Speaker 1: China by children, and then it's put on a ship
Speaker 1: and it's sent to America where dock workers take it
Speaker 1: off the ship. But right now those dock workers aren't
Speaker 1: taking anything off any ship.
Speaker 5: A port strike by some fifty thousand dock workers across
Speaker 5: the East and Gulf Coast entering it's third day this morning.
Speaker 6: The US dock workers are fighting for higher pay and
Speaker 6: for protections against automation, essentially robots taking their jobs.
Speaker 4: Workers say foreign owned shipping companies have made record profits
Speaker 4: and they want a piece of the pie for their
Speaker 4: hard work.
Speaker 7: We want to work.
Speaker 3: We're just saying, when the fair away, how the hell
Speaker 3: can I go work at McDonald's and make what I'm
Speaker 3: mast now? Makes no sense?
Speaker 1: Okay, good message, good message, not a very easy chant.
Speaker 1: We want to work. According to some schools, the philosophic thought,
Speaker 1: it is man's nature to work, but we also have
Speaker 1: material needs that must be addressed. It's the tension between
Speaker 1: these two conflicting dynamics that has our results, resulting in
Speaker 1: our collective labor action. I can endure it, thank you.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 1: Yes, the dock workers are on strike, which my researchers
Speaker 1: tell me threatens the United States economy because longshoremen play
Speaker 1: an important role in the supply chain. And believe me,
Speaker 1: their leader he makes that very clear.
Speaker 2: People never gave it, not us until now when they
Speaker 2: finally realize that the chain is being broke. Now, you
Speaker 2: know how many people depend on odd jobs half the world.
Speaker 2: Let's get a contract, and let's move on with this
Speaker 2: world and could today's world.
Speaker 1: I'll cripple you.
Speaker 2: I will cripple you, and you have no idea what
Speaker 2: that means.
Speaker 1: Hey, Matt, don't cripple me, all right. I'm not a
Speaker 1: shipping conglomerate. Leave me out of it. I'm just a
Speaker 1: guy who addresses his mild anxiety with the dopey, meane
Speaker 1: hit of spending seventy dollars on Amazon every day. Now, now,
Speaker 1: you could argue that the phrase I'll cripple you is
Speaker 1: a little agro coming from a union boss. But I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what's never worked is when workers say, hi,
Speaker 1: excuse me for profit multinational company. I was just kind
Speaker 1: of wondering, if you had some extra money you didn't want,
Speaker 1: maybe we could have it. So that's why he went
Speaker 1: with I'll cripple you. Now you might be thinking, Hey,
Speaker 1: being crippled sounds like a bad thing. Just pay these
Speaker 1: guys more so that doesn't happen. But some people think
Speaker 1: they get paid enough already, so this probably isn't helping.
Speaker 1: He does have a bit of a lavish lifestyle.
Speaker 9: He's got a two point four million dollar home, Spartan,
Speaker 9: New Jersey. He's got a Bentley, which he's been known
Speaker 9: to drive around town in He's also got a one
Speaker 9: point four million dollar home, according to Newsweek. In Highland Beach, Florida,
Speaker 9: Elon musk Ma did a really interesting post on X
Speaker 9: He said, dude has more yachts than me.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what I love about America. Everyone's
Speaker 1: cool if a tech ceo or movie star or TikToker
Speaker 1: who farts on cakes has a big house. But if
Speaker 1: you're working hard labor, they're like, you should sleep in
Speaker 1: a bunk bed at your mother's house, just like the
Speaker 1: rest of us. Look, I got it, Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 1: This is not what you expect when you think of
Speaker 1: a longshoreman. You think of a crusty old guy who
Speaker 1: lives in a shack and has sex with a mermaid.
Speaker 1: Be it through some sort of fish vagina thing, or
Speaker 1: maybe they're doing oral. If there's no Vigel, what was
Speaker 1: I talking about? I don't know. Anyway. Despite the bad optics,
Speaker 1: the longshoremen have a lot of political support in this fight.
Speaker 1: Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are backing the striking workers,
Speaker 1: a sign that even in these polarized times. Both candidates
Speaker 1: really want to win the election in a few weeks,
Speaker 1: and you might be wondering, how can I help support
Speaker 1: these striking doc workers. Just kidding, you're wondering is this
Speaker 1: going to affect me? Unfortunately, it might.
Speaker 4: Analysts expect you'll start to see pressure on the prices you.
Speaker 6: Pay or possible shortages if this lasts another one to
Speaker 6: two weeks.
Speaker 5: A prolonged strike could impact banana shipments, new car deliveries,
Speaker 5: imported chocolate, and alcohol, to name just a few.
Speaker 1: Oh no, bulldozers, medicine and hearing aids are one thing.
Speaker 1: But please God, don't make me eat domestic chocolate. You
Speaker 1: know it's Swiss or nothing. Chocolate has to look like
Speaker 1: one of those things that keep me from backing up
Speaker 1: after I rent a car. And no more banana shipments.
Speaker 1: Every sex, said teacher must be freaking out right now.
Speaker 1: This is how they demonstrate how to put on a condom.
Speaker 1: What are they gonna use now? Zucchini penises don't look
Speaker 1: like zucchini penises look exactly like bananas. So the strike
Speaker 1: could affect the supply of lots of things. But this
Speaker 1: is America, and there's one product that we care about
Speaker 1: more than any other.
Speaker 4: With news of forty five thousand DOC workers going on strike,
Speaker 4: Americans are staffing up all the essential items they can
Speaker 4: get their hands on, especially toilet paper.
Speaker 10: It's happening again, panic buying for toilet paper. Social media
Speaker 10: is flooded with empty store shelves. People are stalking up
Speaker 10: on essentials like toilet paper.
Speaker 1: We sold out of toilet paper by eleven thirty am okay. Now,
Speaker 1: to be fair, even if you buy one package of
Speaker 1: toilet paper at Costco, it looks like you're panic buying
Speaker 1: toilet paper. But you know who should really be taking
Speaker 1: advantage of these panic runs, Big Bidet. Right, this is
Speaker 1: yeah the dead. This is the day's time to shine
Speaker 1: the days powerwash your asshole. You're almost back too early. Look,
Speaker 1: I have good news for people who are engaging in
Speaker 1: hand to hand combat in the Costco aisles. A port
Speaker 1: strike is not going to affect your toilet paper supply.
Speaker 1: No one needs to be panicking about where their next
Speaker 1: TP is coming from. America makes toilet paper. We do
Speaker 1: not import it. You see, we do still make things
Speaker 1: in America, toilet paper and apps where you can bet
Speaker 1: on your next senator. Nothing else but for more on
Speaker 1: the dock workers strike, we go live to Grace Kool
Speaker 1: and Schmidz.
Speaker 7: Grace, Grace, I see.
Speaker 1: That you're down at Costco right now, that's right.
Speaker 11: I'm here to report on the supply chain, and I
Speaker 11: also needed a five pack of Honta Civis.
Speaker 1: Okay, So how are people reacting to the strike? Not?
Speaker 11: Well, everybody is panic buying, myself included. I've been loading
Speaker 11: up on Florida oranges and Idaho potatoes and New Jersey dirt.
Speaker 1: Grace, all of those products are domestic.
Speaker 11: Oh wow, So because I'm a woman buying them that
Speaker 11: makes them domestic. You're stup in the head.
Speaker 1: That's not it. I'm just saying that the shipping only
Speaker 1: affects international products. Chocolate, batteries, bulldozers.
Speaker 11: Oh shit, not bulldozers. I'm going trunch digging this weekend
Speaker 11: and I was supposed to bring the dozers.
Speaker 1: Okay. At this point, it seems like the panic buying
Speaker 1: is causing more problems than the port shutting down.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's that's right.
Speaker 1: People need to know.
Speaker 11: You don't need to hoard toilet paper if supplies are low.
Speaker 11: Just pulled together with your neighbors and everyone can take
Speaker 11: the two squares a week they need.
Speaker 1: Two squares. That seems low. I use a lot more
Speaker 1: than that.
Speaker 11: You use more than two squares a week?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean a lot of people do, right.
Speaker 11: Michael, I have never heard of anybody needing more than
Speaker 11: two squares a week. Do you ever stop shitting?
Speaker 1: Let's not discuss that right now. Okay, how about this.
Speaker 1: Do you think the strike is going to get resolved
Speaker 1: anytime soon? Well, it's not clear.
Speaker 11: President Biden says he's trying to make peace between the
Speaker 11: two sides, and based on how that usually goes, there's
Speaker 11: probably going to be a regional war in a few weeks.
Speaker 11: Speaking of speaking of explosions, how many squares a week
Speaker 11: do you use it?
Speaker 1: Honestly, I've never really counted too many to count.
Speaker 11: Michael, you need to go see a whole doctor. I
Speaker 11: think you're dying.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll call my whole doctor after this. So what
Speaker 1: should people do if their costco runs out of toilet paper?
Speaker 11: Well, Michael, I'm starting to think the toilet paper shortage
Speaker 11: is less of a supply issue and more of a
Speaker 11: Michael issue. You need to quit toilet paper. Okay, go
Speaker 11: cold turkey from here on, out, wipe your ass with
Speaker 11: cold turkey. I mean, I'm at Costco. I can pick
Speaker 11: you up twenty five pounds. You want Hickory smoke their
Speaker 11: honey bait.
Speaker 1: Grace please please, honey baked Gray school and Schmid everybody.
Speaker 8: When we come back, chartle Man, you make sure trump
Speaker 8: Iss steal their lectures, don't go away.
Speaker 12: Yeah, welcome back to Olshu.
Speaker 1: We all know I've got great opinions, but I'm not
Speaker 1: the only one. Studies show that other people also have opinions.
Speaker 1: So here with another installment of in my opinion is
Speaker 1: our good friend Charlemagne is a god.
Speaker 13: Okay, Election day is just one month away, and I
Speaker 13: don't want to spoil it for you, but I already
Speaker 13: know the results. Donald Trump is going to declare victory.
Speaker 13: He'll declare yes, he'll declare victory if he wins, and
Speaker 13: he'll steal it if he loses. All Right, Trump has
Speaker 13: never accepted a loss in his life. You really think
Speaker 13: the first time he's gonna be cool about it is
Speaker 13: if he loses to a black woman. Trump hasn't had
Speaker 13: a good relationship with a black woman since they took
Speaker 13: on Jamama off the Certain Yeah, and how do I
Speaker 13: know he's going to try to steal this election if
Speaker 13: he loses.
Speaker 1: He tried to steal the last one.
Speaker 13: Okay, Jack Smith just dropped another one hundred and sixty
Speaker 13: five page court document about it. And if there's one
Speaker 13: thing I've learned from heist movies is that there's always
Speaker 13: a sequel. Okay, Ocean's eleven Oceans, twelve, Ocean's thirteen Oceans eight.
Speaker 1: No, No, y'all need to learn to count.
Speaker 13: I'm not saying Donald Trump is Danny Ocean, but he
Speaker 13: did bankrupt more casinos, and in twenty twenty four, Trump's
Speaker 13: getting his crew back together, putting the team of magaloyalists
Speaker 13: on the inside to get them past security.
Speaker 1: We know because they literally told us.
Speaker 14: The Republican National Committee recently invited the guy known for
Speaker 14: helping spread the Pizzagate conspiracy to speak to GOP volunteers
Speaker 14: about how to monitor elections in Michigan. Jack Posomac, a
Speaker 14: conservative political activist, said, the key to elections is that quote,
Speaker 14: it doesn't matter who votes, it matters who counts the votes.
Speaker 2: That's why it's so important to be in the room
Speaker 2: in the counting room this time.
Speaker 1: This is what we've trained tens of thousands of people for.
Speaker 10: We're going to take over the election apparatus. So we're
Speaker 10: taking over the Republican Party for the precinct committee strategy,
Speaker 10: We're taking over all the elections.
Speaker 7: That's right.
Speaker 13: Trump's recruiting more people to work the polls in Magic City.
Speaker 13: Pole workers and pole watchers are supposed to be impartial,
Speaker 13: but they got a whole army of Karen's the police
Speaker 13: the polling place like it's a June teenth cookout. Officer
Speaker 13: his voter says, her name is Lashanda. You better send
Speaker 13: a whole swat team now. And it's a little surprising
Speaker 13: that Steve Bannon is just saying this plan openly. But
Speaker 13: what else is he going to do on this podcast?
Speaker 13: Drop his skin care routine. Bro Let us know what
Speaker 13: embalming fluid you use? Maybe he died with it, Maybe
Speaker 13: it's maybe lean. So the Heights Crew, the Heights Crew
Speaker 13: is starting to come together, and this should be raising
Speaker 13: all kinds of alarms. But Trump thought of that too,
Speaker 13: and he's got people in position to cut the wires
Speaker 13: on those alarms, specifically state groups in charge of election oversight.
Speaker 13: Those groups rejected his claims last time, but this time
Speaker 13: they bought in over eighty officials whose main qualification is
Speaker 13: denying the twenty election. Yes, and Trump loves these people.
Speaker 1: How do we know?
Speaker 13: Again, because he told us.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've.
Speaker 8: Heard, but the Georgia State Election Board is in a
Speaker 8: very positive way.
Speaker 1: They're doing a great job.
Speaker 12: Three members Jonnas Johnson, Rick Jeffries, and Janelle King?
Speaker 1: Are they here? Where are they? Where are they? Where
Speaker 1: are they? Thank you?
Speaker 15: What a job?
Speaker 1: Thank you? Yeah.
Speaker 13: I don't know if I need to say this, but
Speaker 13: we should be suspicious when a candidate is shouting out
Speaker 13: the names of election board members. Imagine Lebron James praising
Speaker 13: the refs by name before the game, Like, holy shit,
Speaker 13: is that.
Speaker 1: Stephen Ricky over there? Oh we traveling tonight?
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 13: Appointing election deniers is like if Delta hired a pilot
Speaker 13: who's LinkedIn just said plane crash enthusiasts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Trump's.
Speaker 13: Got them ready to certify him as the winner of
Speaker 13: the next election. Let's see, what else does the heist need?
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, they got to create a discraction queue to demolitions.
Speaker 6: Experts in Georgia. Today, the state Election Board passed a
Speaker 6: new rule that will require poll workers to count all
Speaker 6: ballots by hand. It's the latest in a series of
Speaker 6: changes by the pro Trump majority on the board, and
Speaker 6: it would require three people to count every ballot in
Speaker 6: every precinct on election night or the day after. Pullworkers
Speaker 6: are warning that this rule change could cause complete chaos
Speaker 6: by taking up too much time, money, and almost certainly
Speaker 6: producing counting errors.
Speaker 1: Count by hand.
Speaker 13: No one does anything by hand anymore except maybe Lauren Bulbert.
Speaker 13: All right, this is gonna cause chaos, and that's the point.
Speaker 13: The more of a mess election day becomes, the more
Speaker 13: Trump can demand that his people in Congress step into
Speaker 13: fix it. Okay, what are Democrats going to do about it?
Speaker 7: Soon?
Speaker 13: Sure, go ahead and take it to the Supreme Court. Ably,
Speaker 13: discover a clause in the Constitution that lets Trump steal
Speaker 13: the election. It's right next to the presidential immunity claus.
Speaker 13: So this whole thing is being planned very carefully. But
Speaker 13: a heist isn't all about the brains. It's also about
Speaker 13: the brown, which is why every crew needs a muscle.
Speaker 16: The Brendan Center's twenty twenty four annual survey of local
Speaker 16: election officials found that thirty eight percent of them have
Speaker 16: experienced threats, harassment or abuse. Well seven and ten local
Speaker 16: election officials feel that threats have increased since twenty twenty.
Speaker 10: That prompted me to start talking with the sheriff about,
Speaker 10: you know, personal safety. He recommended that I wear a
Speaker 10: ballistic vest whenever I feel necessary. I wear one pretty
Speaker 10: much every single day.
Speaker 13: These poor guys, Man, these poor guys are wearing ballistic
Speaker 13: vests every day. Their election workers, not managers of a
Speaker 13: waffle house.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 13: You know what the worst part about all this is
Speaker 13: Trump is only able to plan this heist because nobody
Speaker 13: stopped them after the last one. And now people are
Speaker 13: saying the only option to stop Donald Trump is to vote.
Speaker 13: But you don't stop with dictator through voting. You stop
Speaker 13: with dictator through laws. And we have the laws, but
Speaker 13: it took Merrick Garland two years to even think about
Speaker 13: prosecuting him under those laws. Pray to God if you
Speaker 13: ever catch a murder charge, you get Merrick Garland as
Speaker 13: your prosecutor. Okay, I bet Merrick Garland showed up the
Speaker 13: OJ's funeral with handcuffs.
Speaker 1: What do you mean it's too late? All right?
Speaker 13: The point is I just wish Donald Trump had to
Speaker 13: deal with the same consequence for trying to steal an
Speaker 13: election that Danny Ocean did for stealing from a casino.
Speaker 13: Spoiler alert, they put Danny Oshan's.
Speaker 1: Ass in jail. Okay, you don't give.
Speaker 13: Someone the chance to steal again, because the greatest democracy
Speaker 13: on Earth should at least be as secure as a casino.
Speaker 13: And while we're at it, Poland places should also.
Speaker 1: Have a buffet. But that's just my opinion.
Speaker 8: Okay, Charla name the guy, everybody the way, come back.
Speaker 11: J J.
Speaker 1: Johnson was joining a show up row Law.
Speaker 7: Welcome to Fact, Welcome back to the very show.
Speaker 12: My guest Tom is a celebrity chef and founder of
Speaker 12: Field Trip and author of the best selling cookbook The
Speaker 12: Simple Art of Rice.
Speaker 1: Please welcome J J. Johnson. Look, I know it's amazing
Speaker 1: these these people love rice. That's uh, this is a
Speaker 1: beautiful book. Oh thank you, congratulations on it. You know,
Speaker 1: before we even get into the book, I love this
Speaker 1: picture whom I all this Rice. There's so much like rice,
Speaker 1: the beautiful all of Rice. I mean, in my like
Speaker 1: North American white culture, I'm like, there's more than two
Speaker 1: different rices, so much more than two different much more
Speaker 1: than two different rices.
Speaker 15: I mean everybody's everybody's backyard has rice.
Speaker 1: New Jersey has rice. Hudson Valley has rice. What are
Speaker 1: you talking about? There's rice. There's rice everywhere in America.
Speaker 1: So you love rice? Oh? I love it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 15: And why I grew up in my grandmother's kitchen with rice.
Speaker 15: She used to make this dish called asso pow, which
Speaker 15: was a soupy rice dish, okay, and she would drink
Speaker 15: out of a coffee cup in the morning and then
Speaker 15: kind of like.
Speaker 1: Pass arounds everybody, right.
Speaker 15: And then I started to hate rice because because your family,
Speaker 15: because people can't cook right, you know, you get sticky
Speaker 15: rice or hard rice. And then I went to Ghana
Speaker 15: to cook. And when I went to West Africa and
Speaker 15: Ghana to cook, I was at a grandmother's table and
Speaker 15: acraw and I was eating joelof rice and everybody was
Speaker 15: running around the table and I wanted to goat right.
Speaker 1: And then when I got to the joel off.
Speaker 15: I was like, hold on, this is amazing, and I
Speaker 15: need to figure out how to cook rice.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 15: So I started doing heavily research around rice for eight years,
Speaker 15: nine years, and that's how the Simblard of Rice came
Speaker 15: about rice.
Speaker 1: You know, your your restaurant Field Trip. I got it today.
Speaker 1: I got it for lunch. Oh man. It was like
Speaker 1: the fried chicken bull rice and then I got the
Speaker 1: sweet plant ins. But it says on the on the package,
Speaker 1: rice is culture. So who has the best rice? Who
Speaker 1: is He's going to send me up?
Speaker 11: Up?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm trying to set you up. I
Speaker 1: mean I learned. I learned a lot. But like I said,
Speaker 1: I I feel like North American cuisine treats rice as
Speaker 1: this side dish. You know. My first thought when I
Speaker 1: saw this was like, Okay, where's the protein. But that
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, I'm thinking about it incorrectly. So
Speaker 1: so rice is culture.
Speaker 15: Everybody, everybody, all of you have a rice culture. There's
Speaker 15: something somebody's house you went to as a kid where
Speaker 15: that rice dish was significant. Mine was Matthew Davis's house
Speaker 15: as a kid. Matthew his mom make Korean rice the
Speaker 15: best rice. Of course, I'm biased this field trip. My
Speaker 15: restaurant here in New York City.
Speaker 1: Right, so the rice was gone, but I haven't been
Speaker 1: ni Ghana.
Speaker 15: Maybe it's pretty good there too, But everybody's grandmother's kitchens
Speaker 15: rice is amazing. The risotto that's creamy, the crispy con
Speaker 15: cone or the peg out at the bottom of the pot. Right,
Speaker 15: So I'm always looking for a grandmother's kitchen to go
Speaker 15: to to eat rice. But yes, rice is here in
Speaker 15: the US and North America very disrespected, Okay, right, I
Speaker 15: think it's the most disrespected ingredient.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 15: It has tons of history behind it. But it's more
Speaker 15: than a side dish, right. It makes your life so
Speaker 15: much easier because when you cook the simple pot of rice,
Speaker 15: you eat some, you put it in the fridge, you
Speaker 15: let it cool down properly, and then you're like, what
Speaker 15: can I do.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow with this rice? Right? And then you make fried rice?
Speaker 1: Hell yeah. I was looking at this yesterday hungry, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is the worst book to look at hungry,
Speaker 1: And then I also, you know, when you're hungry and
Speaker 1: you look at a cookbook. I was so aspirational. I
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, I'll do this one tomorrow. And it's like,
Speaker 1: will you, Michael? I mean, I got to cook one
Speaker 1: of these this weekend? What for a starter for an idiot,
Speaker 1: for a comedian? What I think you could cook? So
Speaker 1: before you cook, do you wash your rice? No? I
Speaker 1: don't want, Michael, We're gonna have to go in the
Speaker 1: back and talk. Well, I mean, why would I have
Speaker 1: to wash to wash? So talk to me about Oh
Speaker 1: like you guys wash you.
Speaker 6: Do you do?
Speaker 1: Maybe?
Speaker 11: Okay?
Speaker 1: Good, I'm I'm seeing some cultural differences here. Why why
Speaker 1: wash your rice? You have to wash the rice?
Speaker 15: You want to wash your rice to the water runs clear?
Speaker 1: Okay? Why go back to you grandma's. I'm not arguing
Speaker 1: with the grandma's in the world. They all wash their rice.
Speaker 1: And what that does?
Speaker 15: You get that initial start off and when you go
Speaker 15: to make that perfect pot of rice, you're gonna get
Speaker 15: that beautiful fluffy rice, all right.
Speaker 1: So that's a step first, roughly right.
Speaker 15: Then after you do that, then after you do that,
Speaker 15: you'll be perfect with any other rice. Now, my favorite
Speaker 15: in this book is one hundred recipes. Yea, great recipes
Speaker 15: you can make with your kids. But I'm a one
Speaker 15: pot wonder god because I don't like doing the dishes
Speaker 15: and my wife definitely doesn't like cleaning up.
Speaker 1: In the kitchen when I cook.
Speaker 15: So these spice slam rice, cinnamon spice slam rice with
Speaker 15: the dates, the pistachios, the cinnamon stick that's how you throw.
Speaker 1: It in the pot. You got to throw it in
Speaker 1: just like that. So I think I'm showing why I'm
Speaker 1: not a good cook. And then you just drop the
Speaker 1: Then you just drop the top right on.
Speaker 15: Ye, turn it low, let it simmer ole, And when
Speaker 15: you pop it open, your whole kitchen is gonna smell
Speaker 15: like cinnamon and dates and pistaschios.
Speaker 1: I feel like so many excellent dishes. You go low
Speaker 1: with the heat. You gotta go And it's like, what
Speaker 1: does that say about life? Sometimes? No, but I mean
Speaker 1: sometimes we're going too medium, we're going too fast. You
Speaker 1: gotta go go low. You know, you guys know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Field Trip is your first restaurant in Harlem. Yes,
Speaker 1: and it's delicious, it's accessible, Yes, it's healthy. How did
Speaker 1: we end up at Field Trip? How did we end
Speaker 1: up at Harlem? You have other locations as well? Well.
Speaker 15: You know, my dad's from Harlem, and I never thought
Speaker 15: I would ever open a restaurant in Harlem. When I
Speaker 15: first moved to New York City from Pennsylvania. I live
Speaker 15: with my two aunts, my two aunts that really schooled
Speaker 15: me on Harlem, and Harlem is a great community of folks.
Speaker 15: And when you go to open a business, you have
Speaker 15: to think who's going to walk through your doors. So
Speaker 15: I was like, Okay, my cousin Tanisian gonna walk through
Speaker 15: the door, Christina's going to walk through the door on
Speaker 15: DoD's gonna walk So that's what was there. But I
Speaker 15: cooked at a restaurant called the Cecil back then. It
Speaker 15: was like, you know, that's how many people got to
Speaker 15: know me. And I got a landlord that called me
Speaker 15: that said, hey, I want you to put a restaurant here.
Speaker 1: We want to get a good deal. And for me,
Speaker 1: when I look.
Speaker 15: At a community like Harlem, I want people to be
Speaker 15: able to.
Speaker 1: Eat good for you food.
Speaker 15: Yes, I like that, and there's not enough of that
Speaker 15: and a lot of working class communities in America.
Speaker 1: So field Trip gives.
Speaker 15: You a chance to say today, I'm going to consciously
Speaker 15: eat better because I know the chef cares, the restaurant
Speaker 15: owner cares, the people working in there from the community.
Speaker 15: And that's why we started off. We started off in Harlem,
Speaker 15: and it is RISI's culture right, There's so much culture
Speaker 15: running through the streets. And we've been fortunate to have
Speaker 15: a location at Rockefeller Center. One in front of Columbia University,
Speaker 15: one of the Bahamas at the Atlantis.
Speaker 1: So I should have gone there to research this book
Speaker 1: and said they sent in a Rockefeller Center. Maybe if
Speaker 1: we ate more good for you food, we would have
Speaker 1: less runs at the toilet paper a cost. But it
Speaker 1: does say something about American's dial. All right, kids, kids,
Speaker 1: kids should be eating healthy, delicious, fun good food.
Speaker 15: How what I do with my kids is what I
Speaker 15: try to do is full circle, right. So I take
Speaker 15: my kids go apple picking.
Speaker 1: I have twins. Point a girl seven years old had
Speaker 1: bagging food on your Instagram for.
Speaker 15: Climate for climate we y and we take them to
Speaker 15: pick apples. We take them to the farmers market. And
Speaker 15: what we do is we really want them to say
Speaker 15: what do you want to eat? I want them to
Speaker 15: grab and touch of food. Now they don't want to
Speaker 15: grab the vegetables, right, But what I do. We pick
Speaker 15: one vegetable for the week and they have to eat
Speaker 15: that same vegetable every day.
Speaker 1: We cook it different ways, but they have to own that.
Speaker 15: And I think getting your kids involved their round food
Speaker 15: is also fun. I bring my kids in the kitchen,
Speaker 15: count how many eggs crack, the eggs, mix, the eggs.
Speaker 15: Now they want to start scrambling eggs on the burner,
Speaker 15: which I'm not ready for yet.
Speaker 1: But heat very low, very low. He eat.
Speaker 15: But we're and I think for you and parents, they
Speaker 15: should bring bring your kids in the kitchen. It's a
Speaker 15: great math tool and you will see your kids start
Speaker 15: to really saying I don't want that. So my daughter's
Speaker 15: really into cucumbers and she's like, oh, I want the
Speaker 15: little qukee cucumbers. I didn't learn about a Q cucumber,
Speaker 15: so I was in culinary school.
Speaker 1: So I didn't have an avocado till I was like
Speaker 1: thirty eight years old. And these and these, my daughter's like, avocado,
Speaker 1: this is four years old. You know it's you spoil Brett.
Speaker 1: And I tell her that every time. No, she's not spoiled.
Speaker 15: You're giving her access to something good. And I think
Speaker 15: we need to do that. I say, just start with
Speaker 15: the eggs, okay, and you go to the supermarket. Look
Speaker 15: at all the different type of eggs. The good eggs
Speaker 15: are a lot less money than the most expensive eggs.
Speaker 1: Okay. No, I know you're not. You don't believe you
Speaker 1: give me that whole Explain that to me because those
Speaker 1: next book is going to be called eggs.
Speaker 15: Because that's coming from a local farm and they just
Speaker 15: want to be on the shelf and they want people
Speaker 15: to have better for you food, so they're giving you
Speaker 15: an access point or go to the farmer's market. We're
Speaker 15: always in the farmer's market up and down New York City.
Speaker 1: I mean you have a great.
