My kitchen’s the best. >> No, mine is. >> Well, my kitchen has more cat hair on it. >> No, mine does. >> 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. >> What? Welcome to our podcast, A Hot Dog is a Sandwich, the show we break down the world’s biggest food debates. I’m your host, Josh. >> And I’m your host, Nicole. And today the food world’s biggest debate is um whose kitchen is grosser, mine or yours. Two cats. >> I only have one cat, but he flings his poo so far in a radius outside of >> This has become a prenal debate. This is more about cats and kitchen. Bear with me. >> Um Julia doesn’t like it when there’s like outside clothes in the bed. Don’t wear outside clothes in your bed. You’re taking all the dirt from in there, you know. Don’t uh don’t don’t walk your shoes into the living room cuz there’s dirt on them. We have a cat that poops in a box, stomps around in his own poo, flings half of that in a radius 10 feet outside of his litter box, and then just trapes around the house and like sleeps in our bed after he steps in poo. And I understand the argument that cats are cleaner. They’re like self-cleaning animals. They have antimicrobial tongues, whatever. He’s stepping in poo, which is the worst thing. >> Yeah, >> poo and like diseased blood are the two things that you worry about getting in your bed. Yeah, >> we have an animal that lives in his own poo cuddling up to us. I should be allowed to wear shoes in the bedroom. >> I mean, but like grossness doesn’t beget other grossness >> in a way. I believe it does. >> I don’t think I don’t because you >> I think there’s poo in the bed. >> My jeans are cleaning the bed. >> No, no, you are allowed you allowed a few gross things just to keep it going, you know, to keep you going. >> When that gross thing is animal poo, >> you sound It sounds like you made your poo bed. Now you have to lie in it. >> I eat so much of Pippen’s hair. >> I literally don’t let my cats into my bedroom. Did you know that? My cats aren’t allowed in my bedroom. They don’t sleep in the bed with us. >> You should either be all gross or all clean. >> That’s how you live in squalor. >> Or you live in a completely sterile clean environment. >> I hate sterile environments. >> I just want to wear my shoes in bed. >> E. Why? Anyways, what we’re doing today, I get tired. I know. Sometimes sometimes I have to do things. I have to go take out the trash, but I want to sit down for a minute. I don’t want to take off my shoes and then reace them, put them back on. Yeah. >> Do you wear Do you have like pajamas? >> Do you have like designated pajamas? >> Underwear. That’s it. I sleep I sleep in my dirty underwear from the day. >> I wake up in them. I wear them to the gym. >> They’re already dirty. And they’re not dirty. I don’t have body odors. They don’t smell very bad. >> And I bet so I don’t No skid marks. >> No. Go right from that. >> You don’t wear nighttime undies? >> No. What? How much laundry might you do? I’m already have a full outfit from the gym that I have to wash every day. I have to come here. We shoot multiple things. I have multiple shirts. It’d be bad for the environment if I wore clean underwear to bed. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. >> Sorry, I was just curious cuz like some people don’t Do you know some people don’t have nighttime clothes or like sleepy clothes? >> I am that some people. >> Do you ever like do you ever like wear a shirt to bed ever? >> No. Never. >> Never. >> Like never in your life. >> If I sleep over at a friend’s house and I’m sleeping in their living room, I sleep just in my underwear. No, you >> I do. Someone could walk in and that’s fine. It’s going to be me and my underwear having kicked off the single sheet on the couch that they gave me. >> No way. >> Yeah. >> I won’t wear my cuz I have like three pairs of like skimpy underwear >> that I find very comfortable. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> I won’t wear those. I’ll make sure they’re like my nice sturdy boxer briefs. >> You wear your sturdy boxer briefs at your friend’s house. Yeah. >> But in your own bed, you wear your skimpy little tidy whies. >> Yeah. They’re not tidy whies, but they are briefs. >> But they’re tight briefs. Yeah, >> they’re boxer briefs. >> They’d be very inappropriate to show to like a guest that I don’t know. >> I see. I see. Okay, good. I’m so glad we got that like cleared out because today we’re going to talk about each other’s kitchens. Did you know that? >> I did know that. I did know that. Mostly because last night I took pictures of almost every angle of my kitchen. Um Nicole and I are going to debate who has the better kitchen setup. Is that what we’re debating? We’re kind of judging and roasting each other. >> I think we’re just judging each other’s kitchen setups because, you know, me and you, we cook, not professionally, but before the eyes of of America and the world. >> Yeah. >> And we have a pretty well organized kitchen in the mythical kitchen. And I think it’s only fair that people get a little bit, you know, how do you call it? What’s that thing you called? Parasocial. Let’s get a little parasocial with it and show them what’s hanging out in our fridge. >> I think we should do it. Let me see your fridge. So, we’re going fridge for fridge right now. >> Yeah. This is my fridge. >> I am looking at your fridge right now. You know what I love seeing in a fridge? >> What? >> Multiple Tupperwares with leftover thingy things in them. >> Yeah. Yeah. Do you want me to explain? Do you want me to explain my Tupperware? Explain what’s in the You know what? Actually, I’m going to explain from the top all the way down. So, I have um a milk and coffee section. I have my Organic Valley milk. That’s David’s milk. And then I have two milks. I have a lactate protein milk and a milked almond milk. I believe the brand is called Elmherst Farms. >> I love Elmherst Farms milk. Me, too. >> Their nut milks are incredible. They have a hazelnut milk. >> Oh, yeah. It’s good. It came. You know what? Their h their their hazelnut and walnut milk. It’s a little bitter for me. >> I know, but I like it. >> You like the bitters. >> That’s how you know there’s a lot of nuts. >> That’s right. You know, >> here’s the thing. Nuts are bitter. >> They are, >> you know. >> Yeah. Fair. And then I have And then I have a cold brew from La Colom. And then we have my little fermenty shelf, which which has Castlevo olives and some what is it called? Ferment. It’s sauerkraut. Is that pickled ginger left over from a sushi bar? >> No, it’s actually pickled torsi left over from a panini place, >> but kebab. >> No, I tramino. >> And then um I have vital farm eggs. I have a baggie of white onions and avocado next to each other. And then >> wait, you keep the avocado and the onion in the same bag, >> my girl. >> Why? Why? What else would I do? >> I love that people judge me when I just store the same leftovers in the same bag. >> Why? Why? Yeah, you have to do that. >> Like the avocado is going to smell like onion. I’m like, great. They’ve made a new product. >> Exactly. I’m down. >> You know, I’ve made a sort of vapor infusion. >> And the chances are I’m going to use both of those to make a salad or a guacamole or a spread, so why not? >> Um, a little bit of sour cream. I don’t normally have sour cream in my fridge, but I did because I made a lime crema for some reason. >> Some having artichoke carts. I have at least four different fia Greek yogurts at any given moment. I love fia Greek yogurt. I always go for 2 to 5% in terms of fat. Um, I got some barrelaged miso, some lactate, freaking cottage cheese, a white claw, a medello, some garlic kfi that’s in that Tupperware, some Shabbat leftovers in that Ralph’s bag.

Um, I don’t think this is my fridge. >> What’s up? >> My fridge. >> Uhhuh. I’m going to come look at your fridge. Okay. >> My fridge. This was all taken um after I had gotten home from >> It’s similar to mine. >> It is similar though, right? >> Do you have the same fridge? >> This is My fridge is normally way more filled with things, but I This was taken on a Sunday night and I had just gotten back from like a 5day wedding extravaganza. >> Sure. >> And so this is in short supply. So, I just bought stuff to make like two days worth of dinners. >> Mhm. >> But if you look at the top miscellaneous cheese drawer, I call that the Julia drawer. >> Oh, nice. I have a cheese drawer, too. >> We got the goat cheese up there. Several tiny things of like Parmesan rind that I’m like, Julia, please just finish these. And she doesn’t. We have some feta cheese up there. >> Dukes mayonnaise. I would normally buy fet, but my grocery store just runs out of fia all the time. And then I like begrudgingly get chobani, which is not nearly as good as fier. >> I agree. Um, GG paste, ginger garlic because I was cooking a bunch of Indian food. >> Bottled lemon juice, nice to have on hand. Air salsa verde, greatest in the game. The mysterious glass jar back there. >> Mhm. >> Might be including Nicole. Look at that glass jar back there up top. And then look at that mason jar on the second shelf. >> I know it’s onions. >> What’s in the glass jar >> up there? Beet juice. >> Beet juice, baby. Only need six drops of it. Got to buy 32 ounces. Got beet juice in my fridge for about 6 months. >> Right. Sometime sometimes I’ll make myself lemonade at night. >> And you put some beet juice in your lemonade to >> make a pink lemonade. >> Oh my gosh, you are nuts. That’s such a good idea. >> Kind of nice. Two things of Fair Life milk. >> I normally like Fair Life. I’ve switched over to lactate protein because it’s all my my uh grocery store has right now. >> Understood. We have such similar fridges. >> This is insane. Down to the Brown Ralph’s bag, Josh. >> Yeah, Brown Ralph’s bag. Mine’s filled with raw meat. >> Mine’s Mine’s filled with Shabbat leftovers. The Vital Farms eggs. >> Yeah. Why are we so similar? >> You know, I think I think we have good taste. You know, various leftovers at at the bottom. That’s where you keep the leftovers >> next to the lettuce. >> Next to the lettuce, Roma. >> That’s a nice little like uh yogurt, roasted red pepper sauce. I made a little bit of like Greek yogurt Caesar dressing. And then that’s some uh batara. See, you have Persian food in your fridge. I have Lebanese food. >> Josh, I swear on my life. >> There’s two Middle Eastern girlies out here trying to live. Gosh, dude. We need We have the same Wait, hold on. You’re not understanding. We have the same refrigerator. >> I thought the picture Wait, do we really? >> Yes. Don’t you get it? >> I know. The picture of your fridge is a picture of my fridge, >> Josh. We have the same refrigerator. Look, look at this part. And it’s It’s almost >> Yeah. I never know what to put there. >> Do you know what I put on the side? >> What do you put on the side? >> I literally put There’s There’s a butter section with all my different butters. And then there’s anchovies and sundried tomatoes. And then at the bottom is pickled ginger, literally bottled barefoot wine, kimchi, and medications. >> Yeah, I got a bottle. I got a random bottle of wine that’s a couple months old used to cooking. I have some of Julia’s medication there. I have pickled ginger. I have mango pickle as well. >> I also have miso. Do you have horseradish? >> I don’t have horseradish. >> You should get some. Oh, come over. Get some horseradish. >> Dude, it’s actually >> one, two, three, four. I got like six hot sauces. >> Maggie, have you seen the sideby-side comparison of our fridges? No, but you’re like twinsies. >> We are twinsies. >> That’s where my yeast is, >> dude. I didn’t even I was looking for the yeast. >> That’s where your yeast is. I was looking for my yeast. >> Nice. >> This is so insane to me. >> Okay, let’s go to Do you have a drink? Do you have a drinks area in your fridge? >> Um yeah, it’s like a separate one. Wait, you have the one that has the four compartments? >> I have I have this one that has um like four different like cute little holes. >> See, we don’t have that. >> I don’t have that. I have a separate uh thing in my fridge that I don’t know if I took a picture of. >> I literally So, mine’s really cute. So, I like to do like a Sprite option and then a bubbly version that’s like bubbly, the brand of sparkling water that’s the same. So, like if you want Sprite, you can have Sprite or you can have bubbly lime. >> I like that. >> Do you think I think what we need to do is I think me, you, Julia, and David need to move in together. >> I think I’ve been saying that for so long. We can help take care of the baby. >> Well, you and David go on date nights. >> And then I can teach your cat to have bathroom. >> Then when you And then when And then when you come back from date nights, we can, you know, leave. >> You can go to date night. >> We can like Yeah. >> And then you can go to I swear we’re so I mean I feel like our setups are so similar just by based off of our fridges. I feel like it makes sense at this point. >> Yeah. You have like the random like half smashed tube of tomato paste that isn’t like rolled up properly. >> Would that piss you off? >> No. No. Cuz I do the same. This is Julia. >> Yeah, we have Nicole. We have I don’t even know if I included a picture in my freezer. We both have the same Trader Joe’s blood orange mochi in our freezer. >> Josh, >> we both have true fruit banana. >> Oh my god. >> Wait, what’s this random thing of frozen noodles? >> It’s udon noodles. >> It’s udon. Okay. I have to topoki topoki noodles. Or not noodles, but you know, little rice cakes. >> Gosh, it’s so crazy. I also have some kosher mor sausage. And I also have those little Trader Joe’s hash browns. >> It’s incredible. Do you have natto? Is that natto? >> I have natto. I >> Do you have natto? >> I I eat natto all the time. It’s so good. >> You eat natto all the time? You’re out here eating natto casually? >> I eat natto like once a month. It’s like good for you. >> Yeah. No, it certainly is. That’s I didn’t know that. >> David hates it when I make natto at home. >> It’s not my favorite food in the world. >> He goes, “What’s that smell?” And I go, “It’s the soybeans you like.” He goes, “Oh man, I’m going to go outside.” And then I have tons of frozen alcohol. >> You know what? I don’t keep alcohol in the freezer ever. >> We never know when we’re having guests just come over. So, we always have. >> But why are you drinking frozen alcohol? >> It’s tastes better. >> I think it tastes worse. >> Frozen alcohol tastes >> if you if you like go to If you go to It tastes colder. It tastes less. If you’re like ripping like crappy shots of, you know, vodka that you bought on the bottom shelf for $9 trying to get drunk at a party, >> freeze it 100%. >> Okay. But if you like have a nice bottle of >> meascal, >> there’s literally nice bottles of alcohol in my freezer. >> That’s crazy. You’re like, that’s not a thing you’re advised to do. Like if you go to like a if you go to like a tequila mascal tasting, >> they’re always temp. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> That’s that’s a wild thing to me that you’re doing this with like a nice bottle of Madre Mascal. >> Can I tell you what it is? It’s David’s home preference. Like David’s dad loves a syrupy vodka >> and I think it’s just one of those adaptations of like growing up in a house with like oh if it’s syrupy that means it’s properly chilled >> which might not be the truth but it is his it is his family’s truth. >> I think you tend to drink I think you do tend to drink vodka ice cold. I think vodka might be >> Yeah. >> That’s interesting. I don’t know. Anybody that knows more than us about the proper temperature to store and serve alcohol, let me know. I literally have mecow really high quality tequila and some sort of like creme laor in there just freezing temperatures at all times. >> Oh, dude. I didn’t take a picture of my bar. I should have. >> You should have. It’s okay. I didn’t >> Oh, here. Talk to them. I want to see if I can find one on my phone. >> Um, so I think I’d be nice if I told you guys about like my burner setup. I have a gas stove, which was very important whenever I was looking at a place to move to. Um, I have four burners and then I don’t have an above range. I have the bottom range where it sucks it in, sucks the air out from the bottom, which sometimes screws around with my flame a little bit. So, um, sometimes I need to turn the I need to cook first and then turn on my range, which can kind of like make my house a little bit steamy, smelly, but it’s okay. Like after a while I just open all the windows and then sometimes when I make burgers my fire alarm goes off and then I have to take a shirt and violently like like you know hit it a bunch of times and like flap it around so the the like smoke gets away from it but most of my neighbors don’t like mine too much. Do you have >> I’m trying to find a picture of it and I can’t. >> Do you have gas burners at home? >> No, I have a crappy electric top. >> Do how do you survive? >> Any way that I can. Do you use a Do you use a camp stove oven at home ever? >> No, I just don’t ever cook with Don’t ever cook with fire. It’s really It’s a huge bummer for me. >> But you don’t even cook with fire here. >> I know. I almost never cook with fire anymore and it sucks. >> Josh, what the hell? >> There has to be a picture of my bar here. >> Do you use your broiler? >> All the time. All the time. I use my broiler constantly and I really love it. >> I didn’t put a picture of my home bar in here. Okay. But that I think that’s the crown jewel of like my my whole home cuz I think I have like 32 bottles of liquor on it. >> Well, is it in your kitchen? >> It’s right. It’s adjacent to it. So, the home bar it’s like I’ve kind of taken half the living room and turned it into kitchen and bar. >> Okay. >> And I think that’s that’s sort of how we want to live. >> That’s fair. >> So, if we’re running through looking at your pantry, >> got some canned goods, some nice something about my pantry. My mom came over like 2 weeks ago and was at my house for about 7 hours and me and her literally gutted my whole all of my pantries and we cleaned from head to toe and scrubbed every single side of my walls cuz it got really messy after a while cuz I was just throwing stuff in there. >> Literally redid the bottoms of it. Put put like those like anti-stick covers and then reorganized everything. >> Yeah. >> Can you tell it wasn’t freshly organized? No, it looks it looks nice. >> It looks nice. No, >> looks nice, but not like, you know, there’s like the the kind of like rich suburban, you know, mom, they got all the dividers and all that. We don’t do the kids. No, you don’t got that. >> Walnuts. I love that. >> But I do have a bunch of oils. Now, my cooking oils are ghee, olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado oil, and sesame oil, >> which is very important to me. And then I have right next to it is all my vinegars. I have a large collection of vinegars. I have red wine vinegar. I have rice wine. I have two different kinds of balsamic. I just think it’s good to have a pantry. >> You have the same bottle of dark soy sauce that I can see even though the label’s not turned out. I see it in there. >> How can you tell? Is it the yellow on top? >> No, it’s the purple and the yellow. >> Oh, the purple and the yellow. >> And it’s the staining around the cap in yellow. That’s That is what that is, right? The same obscure bottle of Chinese dark soy. >> Yep. >> Yep. >> That’s the one. >> How good of a product is that? >> I use it in everything. I use it in my ground beef that you saw in my fridge. >> It’s almost like adding like browning, like caramel color. >> It’s literally like outing adding kitchen bouquet. I swear >> it’s great. >> So that back area is like all of my like Asian sauces. So I have two different kinds of showyu. I have pomegranate molasses. A bunch of different I have um chunking vinegar, black vinegar. I have what is that? I have Chinese cooking wine. Basically I’m pretty well organized right now, which never happens. And then you get to the junk. Down there is where all my junk is. >> Yeah. Random cereals. Is that pineapple font? >> Hell yeah. Deep cut, dude. >> Yeah, it’s >> spicy salted egg salmon skin. That’s nuts. >> Oh, have you ever had that before? >> It’s the best snack ever. If you’re ever craving chips and you’re trying to like watch your carb intake, >> the salmon skin, the the salted spicy egg yolk salmon skin is the best snack ever. I think a pack might be like 12- $13 though for that small amount. But it is so damn delicious. And it’s filled with omega-3s, which is really good for your skin and hair. And then David just got back from Japan, so he got me a bunch of red bean pancakes. That’s where those purple boxes are. >> Let’s see how closely my This is just what this episode has become is like how closely is my stuff going to be to yours. >> Oh, I didn’t take a picture of my spice drawer. That’s okay. >> That was crazy. So, if you look look at my like dry goods pantry, you have, you know, your baking powder, got some panko breadrumbs, cornstarch, >> big thing of Splenda. That’s always fun. This is really unorganized right now. Don’t judge me. >> I would never judge you over this. >> Um uh >> there’s other things to judge you about. >> We got brown sugar. Nothing really interesting in here. Uh remember the granola that we got at Cookbook Fest. >> Where? No, >> that was like a year ago. >> Those bags of granola that >> I didn’t get a bag of granola from Cookbook Fest. >> Well, I got a bag of granola from it. >> What do you mean? I don’t eat a lot of granola. Um whole wheat spaghetti. Really high quality spa from Monograno. >> I don’t know what that is. >> Really good brand. Nothing interesting there. If we go down. Oh, potatoes, an apple, and a phone charger sitting in a bowl. >> Three food groups. >> Bunch of chilies and spices in my misorganized spice drawer with katsubushi. >> Mhm. >> Um, >> you don’t close your your packages. >> Ah, they’re dried, dude. >> What do you mean? >> They’re dried chilies. They’re just drying more. >> Freaking put a piece of tape on it. >> Why? >> Close it. >> It’s a dried chili. >> That’s how you get bugs. You want bugs? No. Bugs are eating the chilies. There’s cat everywhere in my home. I’m eating my cat’s hairs. Every night when the sun streams through my kitchen window at 5:18 p.m., it illuminates every single cat hair floating. There’s thousands. You’re worried about my chilies being open? >> Do you really ingest? >> He just sits in my cast irons cuz they’re warm in the sun. >> What? >> He sits in my cast irons. The cat. You have no control of your pet. >> No, I don’t. He’s like a teen that deserves to be on Dr. Phil as he goes, “You need to show some respect.” And then the crowd goes, “My cats have so much respect. They do it behind my back. They do all that stuff not in front of my face because they don’t have the audacity.” >> I love my cats, by the way. I love having an animal softens you, don’t you think? >> So, if you look at my This is Check this out. >> Why do you ignore me? We’re not. We’re talking about kitchens. >> I have ghee in my pantry and you have ghee in your pantry. But >> do you see the same We have ghee. >> Do you see the same bottle of dark soy >> and the same bottle of red wine vinegar? >> Same bottle of red wine vinegar. >> Rosio, do you have Fly by Jing chili oil? >> Um, no. >> Do you have an old box of Yehuda matzah? >> Yeah, I threw it away. >> For Passover that’s 3 years old that I threw it away that that your mother-in-law came over and said, “I have an old box of matzah to open.” And instead of going, >> “Throw it away.” >> No, >> Susan, throw it away. >> We put it. We just keep it. And Julia will go, “Can I can I donate this?” >> Donate. >> What are you going to donate in an open box of masa? That’s crazy. >> Been expired for 3 years. >> That’s crazy. What am I going to do it? So, I guess I’ll just grind it into panko. >> Throw it in the garbage. What are you doing? >> Call it Jenko. >> Hey, why don’t you just throw it in the damn trash? >> I can’t. >> Why? >> She finds it, she gets mad. Uh, >> no. Throw it in the dumpster downstairs, freak. >> Oh, dude. I have a can of tuna. Hell yeah. >> This is the best episode we had. >> I’m not very organized. Big thing of diamond crystal kosher salt, some toasted garlic, roasted sesame. >> We have three kinds of cereal. >> Kucato. >> None of these cereals were bothering me, but we have honey nut Cheerios. We have Rice Krispies. And >> what is the reason? >> Sometimes Julia likes to eat a bowl of cereal. >> And then No, this is the best. So we have our If you look below, >> so much these candy bags. So, these candy bags are to bribe Susan. >> Susan, I know you’re listening to this. So, every time, check this out. Every time Julia comes over to your home and goes, “Mom, I went to seize candy and I thought of you and I bought you the what is it? Like the marshmallow caramel?” >> Scotch. >> Scotch mallows. >> That’s my favorite. >> Me and Susan, we got along. You really love each other. Every time Julia says that, what she actually did is she bought the Scotch Molows in bulk and she keeps them in our pantry. And then when she needs to ask you to watch the cat, she just picks one up out of our pantry. >> So that’s what that is. >> Are you for real? >> What >> are is that a real thing your wife does? She does trickery on her own mother. >> I don’t think it’s quite trickery, but it’s but it does feel weird that we aren’t >> such trickery. >> We aren’t just giving Susan all the scotch mallows that we have. >> You tell Julia is that is such bad. Like, would it be better if Julia Cuz here’s the thing. The mall where the Seas Candy is in Susan’s apartment. They’re not that far from each other. >> I’m Why >> does Julia need to go back to Seas Candy to buy a pre-wrapped malam scotch mallow? >> No. >> Every time? >> No. But why? Mom, I just Why doesn’t she just get her a box and just and then just ask her randomly? >> Well, then what would she bring her the next time? >> You don’t need to bring her stuff all the time. >> We do. No, you don’t. offering. >> No, maybe you can just Maybe you could just ask >> Maybe she could just ask her mom. >> Sometimes we get her bananas. >> Josh, stop it. Maybe she could just ask her mom. Maybe she doesn’t have to like, you know, >> Susan, I’ll start bringing you flowers more often. >> I No, no, you don’t need to bri I listen, let me tell you. I am so tired of people assuming you need to bribe people to do nice things for you. Just ask. And then, you know, when they ask you, you do the nice things. Why do you have to constantly give them little gifts? No. It’s called having respect for each other. Josh, can you >> But it’s also It’s showing her that you care by saying, “Hey, I know you like this little treat.” AND THAT’S HER MOM. >> SHE DOESN’T want she doesn’t want to have the treats around all the time. I wouldn’t want I love I don’t know the um a Choco Taco, right? I don’t want to keep a box of Choco Tacos in my apartment. >> Okay. >> You know, I eat Choco Tacos all the time. But if you showed up to my apartment, you said, “Josh, I got you a Choco Taco.” >> And then Josh, go pick up my laundry. >> Well, no, we don’t. It’s not like a one to one. >> You mean it’s like a week later? like a week later if it’s like, “Hey, Susan, but also she would do this just because she she loves us.” >> Exactly. >> Yeah. But then, you know, you sort of you remember the mal the scotch mallow. I keep want to call it a malamar. >> This is ridiculous. >> I don’t think it is. >> It’s it. It’s like It’s like saying, “Okay, I’ll let you like invite five of your friends to my birthday party, but I’m going to invite five of my friends to your birthday party.” >> That’s almost exactly how it works. >> Why don’t you just >> That’s almost exactly how it works. >> I don’t think that should be the case. I think you should just do nice things if you have the ability to be kind and you have the time to do things. You don’t need to scotcho it. >> But that’s how you naturally integrate friend groups, right? >> No. >> Happens all the time. >> I hate you. >> What were you googling? >> I was googling the difference between a malamar and a scotch mallow. >> What do you want to look at? What do you want to compare now? >> Do you want to move in together? Us four. Yes or no? >> I think we should. I think we should. I It would save money on rent. We already spend so much time together. So, here’s the interesting thing. When >> What’s Cocoino, >> David? Cocoafino, that is like I think a Venezuelan brand of cookies that I used for >> a uh Oh, I made a plantain pudding. >> Yeah. >> Cuz for Fourth of July once, I cooked for a big uh like barbecue >> and I did everything to celebrate the birth of America. I just didn’t specify which America. So, I cooked an entire South American feast, >> but all based off of So, I did like chip pan burgers. >> Yum. Um, you know, did like a little skirt steak with chim ji. >> Okay. >> Um, made a big thing of like gy mac like macaroni pie. >> Yum. >> And then I did a like roasted plantin pudding. So like a banana pudding but with like really deeply darkly caramelized plantins. >> Delish. >> It was good. But the thing is like plantins when they get cold they’re kind of starchy so they kind of like seize up almost like a cold potato. >> Sure. >> In a way. So it would it could have been better. It’s still pretty good. Still enjoyed it. I see what you’re saying. And I used the cocoafino cookies instead of uh >> Smart. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, can we look at one thing? Let’s talk about like as actual cooks, how we like to set up our kitchen. >> When you share a space with somebody like a roommate, >> yeah, >> wife, >> husband, >> husband, >> you don’t have full control of what goes in. >> I have 95% control of the kitchen. >> Well, and I think it’s because of antiquated gender roles. >> Yeah. Right. >> Correct. Yes. >> And so, >> absolutely. >> I would love to be the woman in this relationship entirely. >> What do you mean? I I would just love to be and when I say not to essentialize womanhood, but like I would love to have that 95% control because I do 95% of the cooking. >> Uhhuh. I >> Julie I think still feels a certain amount of pressure and control over the the pantry and cooking. >> You know, what are the two things David uses the most in the kitchen? The coffee maker and the toaster oven. >> Incredible. >> And I let him do it and he’s so good at both of those things. >> People don’t think that I’m like I I don’t come off as a very organized person. Right. >> I I don’t really I Damn it. No, I think it’s organized but to your standards. Does that make sense? Like you know where everything is. If I were to tell you, hey, can you find that piece of paper that the IRS sent like three 3 weeks ago? Like you would know where the paper is. >> Definitely not that specific example, but >> but if I ask you like, hey, did you get that check from so and so? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Like you would know where the paper is. >> So if we look at the one No, no, I you’re you’re correct. If we look at the one area, I did no cleaning or prep of this space >> whatsoever. This is my weightlifting supplement. Uh-huh. >> And actual cooking prep area where I do 80% of my prep. >> It looks beautiful. It’s smaller than I thought it would be. >> It’s all I need. This if you’re in a restaurant, you have your you have your prep station. You have your area. It’s big enough to roll out any pasta dough, any dough that I need. I have all my appliances there. Soda stream coffee maker, Vitamix, food processor, Ninja Bullet, stand mixer. I have all of my utensils that are hanging from racks. I have my stainless steel pans. I have my my strainers. I have my nonsticks. I have my sauce pots. I have my Dutch oven. The only thing these two If you ever see >> like a box within a like a a cabinet. >> That’s not mine. That’s Julia’s. >> I see. So, she’s a box girl. >> I I don’t do that. I just leave it open. And if you look what’s in the boxes, >> rolling pins? >> No, it’s like random papers and stuff. >> Oh, so she has rand So, she’s a random paper. >> But this this is mine. This is my area that I just got called Josh’s special boy chef area. >> I’ll say this, it is gorgeously organized. Mine is not like that. I got I have all of my um my kitchen. What’s it What are these things called? My kitchen. No, no, no. Go down. No, no, go up. No, go down. No, go back to that picture. Go back to Josh’s special corner. >> I’m going >> like what are these called? >> Thongs. >> No. What are those called? >> Um which ones? >> Josh, what are these called? >> What are you point Huh? >> Appliances. Yeah. So, my appliance Josh, I’m stupid and pregnant. My brain shrunk already. >> The appliances, my kitchen appliances are all hidden. >> Call it stagnant. >> H >> Huh? >> Why are your appliances hidden? They’re legal now. >> Because I don’t like them in my area. I like to have them hidden. It makes my kitchen look cleaner and more organized when they’re up there. I have my Vitamix. I have my KitchenAid. All that stuff is hiding on a top cabinet where no one can see it. But yours is much nicer than mine. I think your kitchen is gorgeous. >> I think your kitchen is gorgeous. And I It actually is really really interesting how similar >> both of our like fridges and pantries really are. >> I think the things that we use are eerily similar. >> Do you think there’s anything from the way cuz again neither of us are particularly organized. You see a lot of them influencers that got like >> we for a while bought the blank spice containers that like oh we can buy spices wholesale and then keep all these organized and label these not wholesale but you know what I mean like you don’t have to buy a new jar every time you get a spice. >> Correct. >> So we got our own. We labeled them and that lasted like 6 weeks. >> You know what I mean? And then suddenly it was like, well, I really only wanted to buy bear bare spice once, >> right? >> But now we’ve used up a label on that thing and I can’t get it off with the gooan, >> so that’s fine. >> Yeah. >> And then, you know, you just kind of like forget and then you’re in a hurry for dinner and you’re like, I’m just going to buy the black pepper again and the thing. >> So, we’re not those type of people. >> No. >> But I think there are certain things in our kitchens that make sense that other people could take certain cues from. >> Sure. >> Like uh >> buy a lot of fats. >> Yeah. A lot of vinegars, a lot of fats. They >> buy a lot of fats. I buy a lot of vinegar forever. >> Yeah, >> I know the vinegar is like six bucks a bottle. And like not everyone would just want to blow six bucks in a bottle. But if you’re somebody that is already say buying pre-made salad dressing, I haven’t bought I haven’t bought a salad dressing in years. I just >> I only have ranch. Ranch is my only pre-made salad dressing. >> Yeah. I mean, I just if I’m dressing a salad, just olive oil, vinegar, lemon, and then if I want to make a fun dressing, you have all the bones of it if you know how to do it. And it literally takes, you know, 30 seconds to a minute to do. >> Exactly. >> You know, dark soy, >> buy it. Be like us. Buy it. >> Fall is the perfect season to invest in yourself.

And I was like, “Surely everyone’s sitting down. I already already um took communion.” And so I get up in the line and then I see some people are like crossing their arms and they’re not eating a cracker. And I was like, “That must be if you’re not hungry. >> You just cross your arms. They don’t give you a cracker.” >> Oh my god. >> And so I walk up there and I just open my mouth and the priest is putting it directly in people’s mouth. So I walk up to the priest and open my mouth and he just goes, “Are you Catholic?” And I go, “Huh?” And then he puts a cracker in my mouth. And uh turns out if you weren’t Catholic but still just wanted to like get blessed by the priests, you put your your arms over each other. And he could smell the fact that I wasn’t Catholic. >> Yeah, he could tell. >> I could I could be Catholic. >> No, but he could tell, >> I guess. Yeah, I smelled like Jew.

Um, I’m currently living in my van, my kitchen down by the river. >> A single burner butane stove. >> Hell yeah. >> Like a little pot holder. >> Uh, and that’s really all I have to cook with. >> Okay. >> Couple really small pans. And uh so I guess my question is what are some creative meals that I can have with no refrigeration and only that as >> damn >> a way to cook things. >> Great question. >> Um let me know what you think might be good things. >> Single burner. >> So that you cannot make multiple meals. You got to be a one-stop shop situation. I’m imagining a lot of beef stroganoffs, a lot of spaghetti bowling, spag bowls, single bowl, like one one pot meals, right? >> I mean, >> ramens sounds like a job for slop. I just This is what I This is my life. I make one pot meals cuz, you know, I don’t want to clean more things. >> A casserole just instead of like putting it in a casserole dish, you just finish baking it off in the pot. >> You know what I think my answer is? Check this out. Here’s what you do. >> Huh? Get a tube of ginger garlic paste. >> Uhhuh. >> You get some sort of ground meat. >> Uhhuh. >> Potato. Some sort of green vegetable. >> Uhhuh. >> You put all that in the pot. Ginger garlic. You get one bag of something that ends in masala that isn’t garam. You get a more like prepared masala. Like a something that just says like tandoori masala. You know, something that just says like a sandwich masala. Get some sort of masala. And you dump that in there. >> Delaze it with some water. potatoes thicken that up >> and it’s just flavorful and nutrient-dense. I made almost that exact thing yesterday. >> Uhhuh. >> It is by no means something I would call a curry or Indian food at all, but >> it gets the job. >> The bag of powders tastes delicious. The ginger garlic paste tastes delicious and I get to eat a healthy bowl of wet food that I really enjoy. I would say that. >> But but we have to talk about proportion. And we have to talk about proportions because they don’t have refrigeration. So they have to literally do this every day in small quantities. >> Not necessarily, Nicole. >> Why? >> Have you heard about the perpetual stew? So check this out. >> Oh, perpetual stew guy. Yeah, perpetual stew guy. I know all about perpetual stew guy. Started following him from the jump, actually. >> You can leave that going for dates. >> Okay, but this person lives in a van. >> Van’s going to burn down. Yeah, the van’s going to burn down. You got to you got to you got to go somewhere and you got to go to the butcher. You got to go somewhere with a butcher. You need to buy like a quarter pound of meat at a time every day. Okay. So, you can’t get I don’t want this person to get sick. I don’t want to say to get sick. >> I don’t want to get sick either. Who’s telling him to get sick? >> Well, you’re the one that doesn’t care about the portions because there’s not >> care about the portions. What are you doing? >> I’m caring about the portions. >> You’re telling him to eat ramen? >> I’m caring about the portions. Why are we fighting? I don’t know. It’s actually really bad whenever I just like jump to conclusions and yell at you. It’s actually wrong of me to do and I’m so sorry for yelling at you and getting really like pointed. So, what I’m trying to say is this person needs to cook small meals >> in order to make sure that they don’t get sick so they finish the meal and then they make a new one. >> Do you understand what I’m saying? Yeah, but I’m trying I’m trying to think what >> he looks at me with this dead with these dead eyes. >> Are these eyes Is this what you call a dead eye stare? >> Just completely dead. Void of emotion. Void of any sort of like like anything going on. The lights are off. No one is home. >> I was thinking. This is my thinking face. I go, >> do you know how many teachers just came up to me in high school and went, “Are you okay?” And I go, >> “Yeah, why?” And like you were just had the most blank stare that looked vaguely frightened. >> Yes. It’s this weird vaguely frightened like dead in the eye stare. >> I’m scared all the time. >> Um >> anything else you want to add? >> I mean like let’s think about like what’s shelf stable? Corn beef. >> Okay. >> You corn beef. You get packets of corn beef. You get cans of corn beef. Corn beef. No. Rice. Rice kind of actually doesn’t keep room temp like that.
