Nicole I had a bad dream what happened I was at Disneyland and I was naked and I got arrested what do I have to do about our podcast about salsa I don’t know this is a hot dog is a sandwich ketchup is a smoothie yeah I put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense a hot dog is a sandwich a hot dog is a sandwich Welcome to our podcast a hot dog is a sandwich I’m your host Josh sharer and I’m your host Nicole anayadi and when we’re not internet chefing it up over on the mythical kitchen and GMM YouTube channels we are over here taking down the world’s biggest food debates getting naked at Disneyland trying to ride the log ride and suddenly you start flying Nicole in your teeth they’re falling out they’re going Clank clink clink all over the ride year to fall out in your dreams I have a lot of teeth that is so bad you have stress problems are you new we’ve known each other for like four and a half years of course it’s only been four years don’t flutter and then sometimes my teeth fall out in real life and it scares me oh Josh I have dental issues uh but that’s not what we’re talking about today what are we talking about I just literally started thinking damn I really got to go back to the dentist well talking about red versus green this is a very simple debate it is a very simple debate that comes up in real life often my favorite color is red is that what we’re talking about favorite colors my favorite color is Kelly Green it’s actually the Eagles I’m wearing a kelly green yellow gold Birds baby my nails are Coca-Cola red that’s beautiful um really no oh okay I don’t know do you want to see feet oh I’m ready to come through and see what color my toes yeah put your venmo in too yeah yeah yeah no you don’t need to battle me we’re talking about red salsa versus green salsa this is a common question that comes up when you go to a Taqueria or Mexican restaurant as they are known in other parts of America I suppose um and sometimes they will ask you just simply red or green sure what is your answer okay I need a little I need to tell you a little anecdote if that’s it tell me an anecdote so this weekend I went to Palm Springs with one of my girlfriends fujon who I’ve known since I was five years old and she’s like my girl okay so we go so we go to Palm Springs and like you know it’s 100 degrees we’re out it’s hot it’s hot and we are like okay let’s let’s get some Mexican food at that Polanco like a Cantina Bar which is just like the hotel bar or whatever and um she gets salmon tacos and I get a salad and then we get chips and guac to share but it comes with salsa all right salmon tacos prepared uh they were grilled but I didn’t eat them yeah and then um so we get the salsa and to my surprise the salsa is green get the heck out of here and I’m like what wait you’re talking about the salsa for the chips the salsa for the chips green and let me tell you I initially I always think to myself my default for salsa is always red I close my eyes I look at sauce I Vision Salsa Salsa is red always first not to see that green salsa isn’t delicious I love green salsa and I actually choose it sometimes over other other than red salsa but red is the default salsa and I was shocked me and her were like we have green salsa and she’s like I know and I’m like isn’t that weird she’s like yeah like we’re still gonna eat it right she’s like yeah whatever but like it made no sense the default salsa is always red salsa to me this is interesting because I think you and I are talking about two completely different things right here what do you mean so you’re talking about like when you get chips and salsa at a restaurant yes green versus red yes I’m very specifically talking about at like a Taqueria the kind where you can still get a burrito for 4.99 wrapped in yellow paper yeah and the sauces come in the little tiny Deli cups well this came on in a tiny Deli cup too oh interesting yeah but it was at a restaurant it wasn’t like a big old vivacious bowl of salsa like at the chili it’s my favorite Mexican restaurant it’s like one of those two ounce souffle cups that you get from like you know wherever but it was that you’re talking about a chunky green salsa dip the chips in or we’re talking a thin watery sauce thin watery fast food which was weird to me me and her literally had a reaction where we looked at it we looked at each other we looked back at it and we’re like this doesn’t make any sense right I agree because and and always whenever I find myself like I don’t know like at a takori or whatever I find myself always going for the red salsa first same and then the green salsa is secondary agreed because I like spicy and I like the red the red makes me think yummy food flavor yummy yummy in my face like a poison dart frog the red signifies this is a good thing for you that you should eat yeah but I know it goes against nature but yeah I don’t know I don’t know why it was so odd to me I don’t know that I’ve ever had that happen um I will say just as far as colors go green is almost at the bottom of my list and when you start getting into like if there’s like a black salsa if we’re talking like an ultra charred Chipotle salsa oh I do love a black salsa if there is anything orange I am going orange first because orange means habanero okay that means fun times for Josh it means Josh and the next day might be hurting on the toilet a little bit you know hurting while you’re squirting um but sorry that was the gross thing I ever said no it wasn’t have you ever had the the orange peanut salsa no what the hell is that okay one time and they had a huge salsa bar like like 14 different Salsas and they had a really beautiful like brownish orange one but not dark about like light brown yeah yeah like peanut buttery colored and it was habanero and peanut sauce wait where was this my brother sent me a picture from there okay yeah okay okay I think this is what gets us up in the morning folks okay salsa bars with great stuff on it okay and did it have a picture of peanuts on it yes yes I went to the what the heck was it though John John I know you’re watching all in right now he is watching live I know you’re watching you have to tell us where this is because I remember it vividly and I’ve never had a salsa like that and it changed my life a funny thing about salsa right so we I don’t want to generalize as we a lot of Americans think that salsa is very specifically like a chunky sold in a jar condiment or tortilla chips right salsa in the 1990s actually started out selling ketchup in America and it was seen as like massive change in tastes and demographic and all that and it is very cool but if you look at the salsa breakdown on like what sells more than than others it’s like Tostito salsa because they sell it right next to the chips in the grocery store which is very very smart and Tostitos also they make a salsa verde but it’s it’s kind of a bit Niche and then they got that chili con queso that’s good that’s the good stuff uh but most of it is very similar to paste picante sauce right yeah which is very very tomatoey it’s very vinegary the jalapenos are straight up pickled in it like it’s not a salsa that I’ve ever seen anywhere near Mexico right of course not no but it’s its own thing the only thing I could imagine is pico de gallo that they put a that they put tomato sauce on it’s like yeah if you like pressure cook pico de gallo yeah yeah yeah yeah that’s the only thing I can imagine that’s like that’s like it’s it’s similar cousin yeah but salsa like obviously just means sauce right yeah and so like you look at just the giant category it’s like if you went to Mexico and they said something called like America sauce you know which I guess they do they have right if you’re in uh the Netherlands is a great example there’s a product in the Netherlands I believe just called American sauce it’s the fry sauce and in the Philippines as well I remember a buddy texted me a photo of him eating deep fried balut the post-mature embryo of a decade um he was eating balut deep-fried on the side of the street with a side of American sauce and it was Thousand Island that’s so right like a burger sauce a pink mayonnaise of course it is yeah but we think of salsa as this like one hegemonic uh what’s that other pretentious word I like um idiosyncratic monolith monolith we think of it as like a type archetype like this is salsa it is red it’s chunky goes on yeah it’s always red it’s all red however the world of salsa is like so incredibly incredibly varied I’m aware yeah yeah I agree but to me there’s like when I think of red salsa right if I when I think of the question red or green I’m not thinking Pace chunky picante sauce served with chips I’m thinking of thin watery Chile they are chili they are Bowl which is a Taqueria yeah and then with the green salsa I’m thinking of just it’s like three ingredients it’s like tomatillo onion jalapeno water boom and it is just thin it is watery you are soaking your burrito like Pani booty Nicole like the little like crispy dumplings that you just soak the Chutney in I will say the older I’ve gotten the less I immediately pick red salsa I find myself leaning towards green I like accept the fact that green is a flavor that is good you’ve like been there done that you have you’re like I have enough red salsa in my day yeah that I can now yeah go to the green I actually think you helped in that kind of evolution a little bit because you always have a jar of salsa verde in the fridge and I was always I always had a jar of whatever Chipotle uh whatever salsa that was red was always in my in my fridge but you showed me the world of green salsa in a new way which you normalized it for me which was nice thank you thank you no no I am an influencer uh please tell all the brands out there that you know to sponsor my freaking wedding um but anyway I which is funny because if you ask me red or green I would tell you red straight up yeah every single time every time I get a breakfast burrito every time I go to a Taqueria I specifically I load up five things of their red salsa which is hopefully terrible yeah and then like one of green just to be a change of pace sure that said like you said I got a big ass jar of salsa verde you’re the hugest proponent of of salsa verde that I’ve ever met there’s a very specific reason for that because it’s good when you cook it well that’s part of it so it’s red sauce though because you can just it’s I mean that’s true especially American salt it’s basically marinara sauce yeah you can cook with it sure but no it does taste good when you cook with it like um they’re Regional Specialties like chile verde from like Colorado New Mexico I love chile verde bro take a poor [ ] I don’t know how much poor [ ] you’re cooking in your kosher home none take a poor [ __ ] pour some chili verde on it and just like sort of Let It Go there’s a place um next to our vet that has a chili pork burrito uh inside chili verde burrito and it’s literally just pork tortilla and great stuff yes and it’s this is how we win it is so crazy good it’s like the best thing the pork fat with the sourness of the tomatillos um but no another thing I was gonna say is that salsa verde in the stores is significantly one just better tasting and better made and like more authentic to an actual Mexican salsa than all of the quote unquote red sauce I don’t think it always tastes better but I think it tastes more akin to something you get in an actual Mexican restaurant which is what I’m going for roughly okay you know I don’t know I don’t know there’s something about I don’t know maybe I’ve just been conditioned to think that red salsa is better I’ve just been conditioned that way it’s more it’s more attractive it doesn’t matter but the thing is it doesn’t matter if it’s tomato based or Chile based I like both of them more than I would green I would choose I would choose both of them before green I’m putting green underneath there’s a very specific reason too that I don’t love American red salsa I love eating it with chips oh my God I could drink paste picante sauce I think it is delicious everyone has like a has paste in there in their cabinet like mine’s in the way back like I have it I have it but I can’t put it on food because it simply reminds me of white people taco night growing up which I love well you know let me tell that’s good on white people tacos white people tacos they have a place agreed and I like that the place is underneath a jar of pace salsa yeah but at home when I’m making myself like a carne asada burrito the pudding paste picante sauce on that tastes so wrong it’s like it’s sacrilegious it’s a bastardization yeah so I can’t do it um so I tend to get salsa verde because that tastes more like something I would get in a Mexican restaurant if I don’t want to go to like a Mexican market like Vallarta or Northgate and actually get their good sauces well what do you feel what do you think about this what about hot sauces I know this might be like salsa but let’s let’s just tangent a little let’s tangent a little red okay red all the way there’s no room I have one green hot sauce in my fridge right now out of 10 Reds okay and it’s only there to distract people and it’s a weird Yuzu pepper sauce you know that one I bought that one yeah it’s pretty good yeah you do it yeah well no I bought that in my home before you bought it for a year but we never talked about it it’s the best hot sauce yeah it’s like a Yuzu oh my God it is the best hot sauce but aside from this I’m gonna talk about Mexican hot sauces yeah I find myself again I don’t know why like in the past few months like past six months I’m like obsessed with El Yucateco green oh you can take a green why green I don’t know but it’s it’s like food dyed too though you could take off no you could take a red is by far the best or you get the xxx hot the black one I got black sauces for the win let me tell you I have a bone to pick with black hot sauces why I don’t like the dye and the black ones but I like the ones and the green ones I don’t know what’s wrong with me something in my head’s like maybe I shouldn’t have black food dye it’ll make my poops weird I don’t know maybe I’ve just been conditioned to think black food dye makes my poops weird uh let’s talk about the actual like cookery difference in flavor notes in ready to invalidate I just had a good one right before this well like there are actual flavor differences between the two right and especially when you’re talking about hot sauces yeah because my favorite hot sauce brand consistently for a while is Arizona Gunslinger right and it’s really good it’s really good and it’s very simple it’s pretty much the same ingredients as Tabasco except it’s made with red jalapeno peppers oh grab something right you want me to blow in it oh God I guess I don’t know you take your glasses off stick your tongue out how did that work no not at all but Arizona Gunslinger has been my favorite hot sauce for the longest time and it is very very simple it’s Vine ripened red jalapeno peppers it’s vinegar it’s salt it like might be water there’s not much to it but it is the consistency the heat level the salinity the acidity sure the texture of it is all perfect they have a green one as well and it’s the same ingredients as that it’s just slightly less good and the difference between a green jalapeno and a red jalapeno is simply ripening that’s right so you let the green jalapeno sit on the vinyl yeah become red you’re getting less grassy notes you’re getting more of those like Fruity darker Dusky notes yeah and then and then and then a lot of hot sauces a lot of sauces are made of dried chilies which to me that’s where the flavor really intensifies that’s how you win that’s why red is better than Green I listen I was team red from the jump dog but like I love gr I love green hot sauces right now it’s like my thing and I love them so much there’s like a yellow bird has the jalapeno sauce yeah yeah yellow birds is delicious we just got one from the uh the hot ones box oh yeah yeah that one is absolutely gorgeous have no idea what’s in it but it’s green and I love it green Tabasco I have a weird affinity for her oh my God oh my God how could I do you love green tobacco Chipotle bowl without green Tabasco is a triple label I will not eat wait can we go can we go on a quick can we go to a quick tangent a tangent of a tangent attention of attention about Chipotle okay because now Chipotle there have to be like 90 delivery right what Chipotle has to be like 90 delivery yeah because Chipotle they’ve like taken over the Postmates market like Chipotle burrito bowls are the number one most ordered thing on food delivery in all of them I did not know that that’s incredible yeah it’s ridiculous right not even burritos burrito bowls what a nation but half the experience of early Chipotle for me and I’ve been going to Chipotle since like maybe like 2006-ish you know over in Orange County back when they were actually you know pretty good um but was taking all three tabascos that they had and putting them on your burrito the Chipotle Tabasco and the jalapeno Tabasco and then occasionally normal Tabasco they had normal Tabasco there yeah but nobody really got it it was all the Chipotle in the green but we’re losing out on that experience as family values in America Wayne so too what camera are you speaking has our Tabasco what I don’t know I’ve been staring at the curtain most of the time Oh I thought you were looking at me no that’s a weird experience that we’ve just missed out on what Tabasco in your Chipotle burrito is that not anything that’s sacred to other people I love red I mean I love green Tabasco in my in my burrito bowl but I don’t like the Chipotle one the Chipotle one’s gross I like it it’s Smoky wait do you like Chipotles in general yeah I do so Chipotle for those who don’t know it’s a dried and smoked jalapeno pepper and I love them fantastic in a salsa love it which is why I say especially like a black salsa Baja Fresh used to have a fan they probably still do I just haven’t been there in a while you’re gonna bring a bath Baja Fresh’s black Chipotle salsa I’m telling you this is not just a red green dichotomy we gotta put black and orange we have to put black in there I would also throw in creamy green and creamy Orange foreign because you want to talk about creamy green you want to talk about salsa de calabasitas let me look at this camera and say mentirosos zoom in Maggie like some sort of like like tell a novella star yeah do it again that was pretty good that was pretty good all right so we’re talking a lot about salsa bars a lot of times you will go to a taco truck salsa bars are half the reason I want to get tacos is because I love dressing them with you got the escabegee you got the pickles you got the onions got the rabanos you got the radishes out there are radishes in Spanish more than you and if you’re watching your carbs you did the radishes in the in the salsa that’s fantastic but a lot of the times because of Joy there will be a very very creamy but still also very flowy green salsa out there it’s generally rather mild you assume there’s some sort of avocado in it because what else is creamy green turns out a lot of taquerias especially during the inflation avocado shortages they were like sauteing zucchini with oil which adds a little bit of fat to it and then blending that with chili genius utterly genius and I’ve made it at home it’s delicious it’s fantastic so you got creamy green sauces us and then the explosion I blame Instagram for this there’s creamy orange out there Nicole what is is that just mayonnaise that’s just mayonnaise baby you’re like Ricky’s fish tacos okay yeah I love spicy mayo right you stop making fish tacos in L.A a year ago and bums me out dude you know Ricky’s closed I don’t care you don’t care about her dude bro it was under the freeway overpass I like Wahoo’s go get the hell out of here Wahoos oh I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to offend you don’t even fry fish tacos somebody somebody grew up in the Orange County area I ate so much while he was tacos I like Wahoo’s Taco they’re not my favorite um what were we talking about before I was creamy orange uh creamy orange sauce is just mayonnaise correct I don’t want that it’s tough to dignify as a salsa right it’s not a sausage yeah so it’s green versus red versus black right versus orange I’d say orange too habanero not creamy orange I don’t think I don’t think so you know you don’t think you don’t think habanero deserves I love habanero I love it I think it’s necessary but I don’t think it’s necessary in this argument I don’t think it holds a candle well hold on do you think well I’d like to throw at a positive Clause here right what’s up why do we eat salsa yummy yummy what are the reasons is yummy what are the what are the flavor profiles hot Hots part of it uh acidic acidic um salty salty that’s what we want we want hot acid salt yeah you got to balance all those things and then also there’s the the inexplicable chili flavor right the thing that you can’t quite I just quite describe jalapeno tastes different from habanero tastes different from Chile Etc I want to chase the heat how many red sauces how many green sauces have you actually had that can bring you to that level of like really riding the lightning you will get your scalp itching right outside my scalp to itch to enjoy the experience dude Nicole I do I need it so bad do you see me how we made that spicy chicken sandwich the other day on Tick Tock are you here for that yeah I was well I house that whole thing wow and I hadn’t felt that way in years like really letting chilies just grip you from your soul your heart starts beating a little bit your hair starts talking to you I love it that’s what I want I love food as much as you do but I don’t need those like vascular like crazy experiences to like to like I don’t need to be transcended like into the void every time I eat food throw me to the nether realm one I’m eating chilies when I’m eating salsa there’s so much emphasis on that experience you know where you can get that watching I don’t know watching a beautiful movie for the first time or I don’t know going sledding you see oh sledding I heard a different word I heard I heard s-l-o-t-t-i-n-g slotting no no SL like s-l-o-t like you’re being a real slot right now like putting money in a slot like a like a woman of the night like like a slothing slothing yeah yeah going sleuthing ah hey you want to know something funny green sauce is never spicy enough that’s what I’m talking about oh well yeah and that’s a problem it doesn’t you can make it you can make a spicy but most places don’t yeah also does everywhere Grill their tomatillos no not everywhere a lot of places you just boil them can you do it raw so um you can’t yeah um Chef West Avila of gorilla tacos now um what’s this what’s that called he makes he makes like sandwiches and stuff Sandwich Bar sandwich bar now um but this dude uh yeah he made a lot of raw tunnel salsa but raw tomatillos have almost like a kind of raw eggplant texture to them it’s kind of spongy that’s why I don’t I don’t prefer it so I love it I love a good charred um salsa though like a um what are they salsa matcha no salsa matcha that’s another question the salsa Cannon oily overrated all right places to start putting salsa matcha on things where it doesn’t belong I had a chorizo Taco with salsa matcha and it’s like it’s too greasy it’s too greasy you lost the pot chorizo salsa or chorizo Taco should have salsa verde yeah that’s another thing we gotta talk about no it needs akaguate or calabasita you’re hitting hard yeah good I wasn’t honor Spanish uh talk about talk about salsa matcha though because this has been a plague not a plague sausage is delicious but like so many restaurants have started trying to make their own salsa have you heard of chili oil yes it’s similar to chili oil John Cena loves La Grande yeah it’s the same thing pretty much it’s just instead of like uh chilies like like Asian style chilies just Spanish style chilies yeah yeah and it’s good it makes sense I like it what do you put it on stuff this is a podcast it’s not an interrogation I’m not trying to suss you out put it on eggs you really put salsa match on eggs I have like an old salsa matcha jar that like every now and then I bust out has peanuts in it yeah my problem though is that uh do you don’t get acid from it you get salt and you get chili and you eat and you get oil yeah I’ve never loved chili oil that much oh you get calabrian chili oil I don’t love that even like I love chili crisp at uh Asian restaurants oh yeah chili crisp is sorry but I’m there for the crisp so I’m not there for the oil I don’t need chili oil oh yeah I’m talking about like chili crisp stuff it’s like salsa matcha reminds me of chili crisps yeah so it’s basically dried chilies that are heavily toasted and fried along with other things spices nuts whatnot and then you like pack it in the hot oil yeah and you it’s uh you gotta Stir It Up cookies it’s gonna come in tacos 1986 is a fantastic Taqueria that has a very extensive and good salsa bar and salsa matches part of it yeah it’s just every time you use it I’m like damn I want the acid to cut through all that yeah for sure I I think I think it’s really delicious with like eggs in the morning like just I love paste salsa with eggs I don’t because I grew up eating it I don’t like that’s another another talk for red I don’t care for that we should talk about salsa specific Foods because like I said with chorizo it’s also with chorizo Taco like a chorizo queso Taco only the creamy one only the creamy green one you’re dipping the fatty chorizo with cheese in the cream oh and the creamy oh creamy green yeah creamy green yeah no that’s good but I thought I thought you meant like uh just like a mayonnaise sausage cheese and mayonnaise I feel like I would vom I’m not that’s so much even for me that’s too much even for me let’s run through tacos see if like there is okay okay okay um uh Baja style beer batter fish taco red or green neither what do you put on it black oh hell yeah no you’re absolutely correct you’re absolutely correct I’d still go keep going um uh Carnitas Taco green green um carbon red carne asada red al pastor red that’s an orange one for me baby uh yeah with habanero the fruit in habanero habanero has a very pretty profile to it that makes a lot of sense okay I’m gonna say red though uh Tacos de ungos mushrooms yeah I do green and red like divorciatos like half green half for us Austin style breakfast tacos divorce divorces are necessary right uh for oh for breakfast tacos yeah I’d agree with that um La style actual Mexican breakfast tacos on corn tortillas well neither salsa like uh hot sauce hot sauce hot sauce I actually agree with that I actually know that I think salsa on eggs sometimes I don’t necessarily want but I do want to make a little bit of coffee hot sauce um Taco gobernador okay that shrimp and cheese pepper and onion tomatoes green with black Green Oh smart um um this is so fun Tacos de tinga braised chicken braised chicken braised chicken with chilies it’s already salsa in the taco basically I’m gonna open my eyes now I don’t think it needs it I don’t think it needs a salsa but if I were to if I were to pick a salsa Orange Orange right right and there’s a reason am I doing good you’re doing good no no I think this is this is really important and it makes sense if you have a very fatty meat yeah the acidity of the tomatillos tends to cut through better yeah I agree with that um if you have something fried I think adding a smoky element in there totally it’s very smart especially with fish uh if you already have like salsa represented like I said like a thinga that’s like basically braised in the ingredients yeah salsa what’s it called yeah it’s a gisado Stewie um what about uh uh yeah what is like the best nachos because I’m now obvious that’s the idea of food pairings and salsa what is like the best taco plus salsa combination you’ve had ever yeah yeah like like where you’re like damn this salsa just like works with this Taco I gotta go back I know I’m trying to think as well I went to tire shop Taqueria One Time by myself at like 11 45 and um I had the carne asada with just a slap fat slap a guac and then um onions and cilantro and I think their red salsa was really freaking good yeah so I think that might be one of the best taco salsa experiences I’ve ever had and that is a hell of a taco like wood grilled carne asada wood grilled baby wood grilled and they they wrap up the taco so deliberately like the guacamole is thin and it’s kind of it’s literally on there it slapped yeah and then they just like close up half the taco but that’s a great example you have you have the green you have the cilantro and all that from from the guac and you got like the like fatty but very like blistery Smoky Meats okay and then you just get that homemade turkey fried chili homemade tortillas stunning oof I love it whatever love you I just there’s something about burritos La Palma’s salsa being poured into I know I talk about burritos is it red uh so no so it’s a chunky salsa it’s a chunky but kind of watery salsa what color I might call it um like uh salsaito mate I think it’s called I know people are gonna say I’m jot a deal around to sing it let her live I think you should she’s from Italy so it’s a very like fresh tomato salsa okay but you get all because their thing is like the birya bean and cheese burritos like my favorite thing and so you get that fatty Meats with a ton of dried chili already in it beans and cheese a lot of lard in the beans that’s what makes them good yeah tortilla is very fatty you get this just like ice cold and they serve fresh serrano peppers so you take a bite of the Serrano oh that’s special and then you take a bite of the burrito and then I will just sip the salsa because it’s almost like a cool refresher yeah and so no matter what you’re eating like there’s something that goes with it which is what I really respect and appreciate one sidebar uh Whatever Whenever me and my mom would go to Baja Fresh together she would just eat uh just four to eight little cups of pico de gallo because she’s like this is salad shirazi and I love her for it I love you mom she is absolutely correct and uh even Josh what do we learned I think we learned no I think we actually did learn that the world of Salsas is incredibly varied and I think incredible a lot of people who may not be as familiar with the delightful world of Salsas out there should expand their mind should expand their palate seek out new things there’s some great products even on store shelves nationally air Des uh is a great brand casera is a great brand um the one that I like is called Casa Martinez they have a fantastic Chipotle salsa out there aside from that just go to your local Taqueria and just try all the sauces they’ll love you for it yeah listen I hope this doesn’t come out sideways but like if you live in America you live near Mexican people and you live next to a taco place 100 like go start talking to people um eat some foods that maybe you aren’t familiar with um just go out and explore it’s great stuff out there you never know what you’ll find [Music] the best cookie cookies you can buy at the grocery store over at sport you guys want some cookies next time you’re lost in the cookie aisle search cookies on sport.com to find the best of the best [Music] all right Nicole we’ve heard what you and I had to say now it’s time to find out what other wacky ideas are rattling out there in the universe it’s time for a segment we call opinions are like casserole [Music] I was just about to it dude Josh here my best friend you we are the same person I think we’re sister to birth I don’t think we look alike uh let’s get to the first opinion but Nicole keep Googling who’s is somebody Google translating I got it hell yeah it’s probably is it opiniones all right here’s my controversial opinion uh crab legs are way better than Lobster um actually it’s way overrated but here’s here’s where it could reach don’t dip your crab legs in butter okay get them in white vinegar they’ll change your life straight up thanks love you guys bye this man knows how to live oh wow well I do agree that crab legs are better than Lobster but I’ve never ever in a million years thought about dipping them into straight white vinegar I would need to season the vinegar a little bit no oh you can season the video like I’m thinking like uh like a Filipino like coconut vinegar you know or like actually taste does coconut vinegar actually taste like anything yeah it just has like more kind of like depth than anything it’s generally season two at least or no that’s cane vinegar that’s cane vinegar not that one coconut vinegar is a thing too but I don’t think it has any like dessert I think you can get seasoned coconut vinegar like how to make seasoned rice vinegar cool cool you know what I mean uh or like a Hawaiian Chili Pepper water that’s good that’s just like uh vinegar and chili is kind of soaking in it but yeah crab is already sort of fatty has that like cholesteroly fat I love it I’ve never understood crab with butter or if you do butter add some sort of acid on top of that I got the bug I absolutely agree that Lobster is overrated I just have never had Lobster that I thought was that good and every time we say this in the kitchen Lily gets like viscerally upset that’s okay because her we love Lily and we love Lily’s brother and Lily’s brother’s Lobster fisherman Lily grew up on lobster fishing boats we respect you it is it is like ninth on my list of shellfish and Christians that I love to eat not even mentioning yeah it’s like fifth on my list of of you want me doing right now man shrimp okay we got shrimp mussels mussels oysters oysters crabs crabs Lobster Lobster you don’t got clams above lobster no I got clams above Lobster so we’re drafted six but I agree with you did you see I caught that fly Midway scallops oh my God scallops is number one scalp’s number one so okay lobsters six for you it’s at seven for May yeah right what about like uh sea snails uh Abalone oh don’t get me started on sea snails man I I love that one restaurant you took us to okay oh yeah okay loud oh my God Fanta and and there’s so many species of clams and snails that you could really eat Vietnamese snail eating is my stuff you get the Periwinkle Corkscrew snails Josh that was one of my favorite eating experiences ever thank you for doing that oh my God and people are like Josh you can order for us right and I’m like yeah dude I’m a pro I know what everything is I grew up here and I did not know a single word on the menu I know like Oak means like snail yeah and I’m like cool so let’s order a bunch of that but you just blindly order 15 things on a menu and then everybody was very confused we’ve got towers of beer and there is would just bring out live fire grills and be like put that on that Grill and then eat it I’m like sold I told her I told one of my Vietnamese buddies that I went there and he’s like call me next time you go you won’t have to wait in line and I’m like okay thank you I want to make a trip back down there just for that yeah we can do that we waited like an hour and a half for us three hours that’s falsely waited yeah because we did a lot of karaoke while we’re waiting but yeah that’s because what song are you saying Believe by Cher that’s a good one yeah and you made fun of me what’d I say you just wanted me what well yeah but I sang a perfect rendition of Creep by Radiohead it wasn’t perfect it was I mean it was emotionally raw very special word name very I wish I was okay you want to know how to say opinions about casseroles in Spanish soon read last last opinions there we go we got it I did it look at this God I do not take the language as well hey y’all uh my name is Kian I live in Eugene Oregon go.com which I hope helps explain my opinion casserole which is to take a piece of salami fold it in half twice so you have that nice little pizza slice shape and then sandwich it between two Cheez-Its um eat that and repeat just as many times as you want or until you run out of salami uh please subscribe thank you so much I love the podcast you know have a good one you know what I got to say about this it doesn’t matter if you’re from Eugene Oregon doesn’t matter if you’re from Bangor Maine does it matter if you’re from Dallas Texas doesn’t matter where you’re at that’s a snack that every American can enjoy hey I’m even gonna say Canadians maybe even people down in Mexico it is that combination knows no bounds you know what it is it’s a new mommy bomb that’s why it’s so perfect like significantly better than if you’re like oh lunch meat turkey and cheeses whatever no it’s because salami is fermented for super super long right cheddar in the Cheez-Its is fermented for a long long time what you have done is you created a like textural visceral Umami bomb because you get like the fat from the salami sort of melting in your mouth lubing it all up going down the thing about salami it’s like not like totally like integrated like baloney there’s like pockets of fat there’s pockets of meat there’s yeah that’s not emulsified it melts on your tongue that’s great also I want to go back to Eugene man I want to go to Track Town Pizza you know I want to go to the Voodoo Donuts out there cool don’t really love to do all that much but I’ve been to Portland it’s nice I liked it same about doing my bachelor party in Portland it has the most you want to know why because that’s the most difficult for capitalism there are less gross than strip clubs elsewhere they’re like inclusive stuff that’s why you want to go there one of the strip clubs in Portland unionized oh that’s good you know right that’s what I’m saying that’s good so we know it’s like the strip clubs there it’s more ethical maybe great great food uh Tampa actually is more than Portland is that new is that a new statistic no it’s not that new I think Magic Mike may have spurred more Magic Mike takes place in Tampa oh does I’ve never seen magic playing fantastic movie I’m gonna step up and I love like Channing Tatum is not can we talk about Magic Mike for a second Maggie yeah yeah the guys I feel like if you made Magic Mike today all the guys would be like super super ripped out on steroids looking like Marvel Superheroes uh-huh he’s somewhat real like they’re great bodies Joe Manganiello okay hot as hell great body he has the best body what’s his name Joe I don’t know how to pronounce it manginello manganello Sofia Vergara’s husband babe hot couple both I mean wow what a sound I love Sofia Vergara but Joe Manganiello he’s pronounced manginella probably Joe Manganiello I know you love Dungeons and Dragons and being buff and he also likes the Steelers I don’t know he loves he like is obsessed with a certain sports team okay I only know that because Sofia Vergara says that um you’re so hot like Kevin Nash you know he’s out there kind of bigger Kevin Nash WWE wrestler Google Kevin Nash please Google The Magic Mike um please cast yeah yeah Kevin Nash he plays like they call him Tarzan yeah okay but look at that look at that photo they’re not like it’s not like crazy unrealistic body types like they’ll look really good the guy with the long hair you know yeah yeah he’s kind of older you know what I mean they’re not like like Chris Hemsworth and Thor they’re not like crazy amounts of size Channing Tatum is just like lean and looks athletic has always had a gorgeous physique yeah 100 but you know what I mean it’s not he doesn’t look like a bodybuilder out there he looks like a sexy dancer and I love that so you’re gonna have your bachelor party at Magic Mike thinking about it all right all right next opinion all right well this is Peter Sorry by the way hi don’t be sad anyway you said to to say what we think about orzo or orzo I don’t know how to say it right Josh you say it you can use Italian yeah and hot pasta dishes no no orders oh please no but have you not had pasta salad made with Orso that’s that’s the best pasta to make a pasta salad with the second best sorry oh those are really good pasta for a pasta salad I don’t know what’s wrong with you guys um and also in Nicole Dimitri Martin is still good and funny anyway found an indignant but I really like the show I hope you guys have a great day thank you bye do you know who this sounds like Peter’s electric do you know who this sounds like uh Roman from From Success it talks exactly like Romans Roman is constantly uh um really I don’t know you just gotta Roman is my favorite character that was an incredible call you should call once a week recurring segment no no no uh I just calling we just want to hear your voice even before after during the show doesn’t matter you I loved your opinion um there’s no stupid yeah 100 we’re so stupid um this sounds anti-semitic if from somebody who looks like me but to be clear I’m Jewish Peter Jewish I don’t know that that had the full anxiety just go hey Raven look up this is Peter by the way look like to just call in with the assumptions and anxieties that you had I loved it no it’s not Jewish he’s culturally Jewish I didn’t I didn’t get any honorary Jew I don’t get any jewiness these are the Jewish or Italian okay it’s not Italian well I just well Peter whatever you practice and whatever religion you follow thank you so much for giving us your opinion um you are correct we are wrong we are idiots dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb hit yourself in the head how the hell no no Nicole let me cook how the hell can you say that orzo and farfalle are the two best pasta salad pastas right when they are literally like the most far apart also they’re not the most far apart what what bigger non-noodle pasta exists out there Nicole what’s a bigger noodle what’s a bigger that’s not a strand it’s a piece of paper versus a cylinder okay but if you like folded it out but I don’t think that’s the way you are insufferable Joshua you pinch it makes it cook unevenly that is not true 100 fold it over on itself so what radiator whatever is is invalid is invalid no radiator is perfectly fine there’s there’s room for water to absorb in all of the crevasses but I’m saying that like how can you think what about two of the most what about gamelli okay I would love a gamelli pasta salad I think pasta salad one I would like to eat cold cold spaghetti with mayonnaise I hate you I would like to eat cold spaghetti with mayonnaise people never use long strandy noodles for pasta salad I think yeah they do have you ever had peanut noodle salad yeah but that’s not a salad that’s just a cold Asian noodle dish it’s not like a salad I’m saying like a white trash what do you mean you could no no no stop stop we need to we need to honestly hash this out you need to sit up at the microphone sit up I’m doing it from back here sit up I don’t feel safe take the microphone with you I’m here now there is no way that you can sit there and honestly think that Asian style pasta noodle salad is not a pasta what did you say Asian style pastas no such thing as pasta oh my God we had a whole podcast about this wait old podcast you’re talking about peanut sauce you’re talking about garbage that’s sold by Trader Joe’s to white moms thinking that that cold pasta is healthier than hot pasta because it’s called a salad I’m sorry tiger got out of the cage for a second Nicole I look what you did to us Peter Howard Peter man the man yeah orzo’s okay yeah that’s whatever hey Josh Nicole um long time listener first time caller why’d you wait um my name’s Ivy I’m a nurse and I just wanted to um mention that actually we still use leeches I was just listening to your MSD episode hell yeah and we use leeches but it’s not for blood um it’s to bring blood to like dying tissues so if there’s another person sometimes we will okay on like the burned area or like the like a wound area and it brings blood to the tissue so that area doesn’t die so just so you know we still usually just sometimes I recently used them anyway thanks for the podcast love you guys this is not a food opinion but it is a good one that is a medical opinion got it we well we talked about where we want to bring back Legion apparently Ivy’s bringing back it’s back it’s back back it is hotter than ever one time I was watching an episode of taboo because I used to you know the show’s happening so much when I was like 10 years old you didn’t like it it’s my favorite show it made me want to be an anthropologist for like five minutes they they use maggots in people’s wounds to eat all the all the dead dead flesh and like stuff too that’s hot I have a question who wrangles the leeches Ivy does well I’m saying as a nurse that’s part of your like you go to nursing school they’re like well you guys want to use gonna draw straws the Short Straw you got to be the leech Wrangler well I imagine that you’re gonna administer catheters and you gotta grab the leeches I imagine that in her practice maybe it’s it’s a learned thing at her specific practice it’s not something that’s taught like and like every single School of Nursing can I request leeches I go there I say my tummy hurts I’d like some bleaches no I think you need to have necrosis in order to do so sorry necrosis some vascular necrosis if you will that’s whenever your skin turns black because that there’s no blood flow to your extremities I don’t like this part of the podcast on that note thank you so much for stopping by a
