ramble before you get into today’s episode it’s me Trevor everetts the host of the podcast Trevor talks too much here to tell you about a very special episode we have uh it’s gonna be all me solo not only will I be talking too much by my darn self but I’ll be giving you all a closer look into my mind the window into the inner workings of the mythical Swag Lord uh so I’ll be talking a bit more about me this particular episode is all about some of the struggles I’ve had coming out of the pandemic social anxiety and how some of these new connections have me kind of looking deeper into my inner self and doing some reflection so don’t forget to be on the lookout for this episode next week by subscribing to Trevor talks too much on Apple Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts and slop it on top a hot dog slurp down a bowl with onions and some weirdos in Ohio even put it on Spaghetti the world loves spicy greasy chili but who cares about love when you can debate it’s chili soup this is a hot dog’s a sandwich [Music] I put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense [Music] Welcome to our podcast a hot dog is a sandwich the show where we break down the world’s biggest food debates I’m your host Josh air and I’m your host Nicole hendizadeh and today we are discussing Nicole this is a heavy hitter episode is chili soup so you think this is a heavy hitter I think this is awesome no this isn’t on Nicole nothing is ever obvious on this podcast and nothing ever quite makes sense we’re like a Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory except we never killed kids on this podcast those kids died right yeah anyways the reason we’re now talking about is chili soup is because this came up on GMM where we did a fast food soups taste test and we included an entire chili round that sparked the debate in the comments between people who either agreed or did not agree that chili is soup so several people for whatever reason Nicole you and I have become the authorities on these things as our inboxes on Twitter and Instagram have seen anytime any influencer posts who’s a hot dog is a sandwich to drum up false levels of Engagement because they don’t actually have anything interesting to say or add to any conversation we are the authorities on this so now’s the time to do it it’s my turn to talk it’s my turn to talk sorry I got all wound up I’m drinking a non I’m drinking a non-diet Red Bull what uh and I got I got the sugars I got the sugars right now I’ve never have I ever seen you drink a a non what is it called sugar-free Red Bull I don’t know I don’t drink poison like that um no I’m gonna say right now that chili is soup why come of course some chili soup why come because it’s a type of soup what do you mean you just you’re just you’re just throwing it out there that because it’s it’s just got liquid and broth and meats that it’s a soup what do you think it is simple no okay oh God again Nicole nothing is obvious nothing is ever simple on this podcast whose fault is that I don’t know could be yours could be mine it’s your fault um that’s because you you bring up stuff like the the complexity of the universe and string theory and spaghetti and I don’t need that that’s not what it’s going to come down to this is going to come down to the Portuguese colonies of Goa on the Indian subcontinent but before we get there oh was that really the Portuguese yeah so the Portuguese conqueror colonized conquer whatever you want to call it the Portuguese colonized Goa in India yeah which is why um a lot of going food will include pork and it has a lot of Portuguese influence um actually there’s there’s a dish called pav bhaji that’s one of my favorite Indian dishes and Pao literally means bread in Portuguese and a lot of people from Goa have a very latinate last names which is very interesting to me and that does play into chili because I do not believe chili is a soup I also don’t believe soup exists but that is a debate for another time I believe I believe that chili full name Chile con carne is a curry I believe it is a uniquely American interest form of Curry and then okay you know a lot of people could is curry not a soup I don’t know if you got a bowl of chicken tikka masala would you consider that a soup uh maybe I don’t it’s more of a stew no it’s chili oh God that that gets down into a whole other thing stew versus soup because because let me tell you in in my culture stew is stew and soup is soup there is a clear distinction between the two okay and it’s all about the viscosity of the liquid okay that’s really interesting so I’m thinking of uh Persian soup like Asha restaurant right yeah that’s a soup it is whereas or stew yeah so literally I’m cheesing so hard on the other side of this of this table right now I’m like look at my son he knows how to pronounce words so well I’m so proud of you give me my Persian Jewish Bat Mitzvah that I deserve I never had one either I went on a cruise to Alaska instead did you know that I never had a bar mitzvah my parents were just like here you’re going to go look at glaciers and orca and I’m like okay thank you I’m a woman now maybe you saw Shamu in Alaska you are a woman now Mazel Tov read read Shamu passages from the Torah exactly oh yeah but but to me to the untrained um Ashkenazi eye who was only a casual fan of Persian food uh the viscosity between those things is not very different like in my opinion like would you say there’s a Aiden I think Stu has to do with stew meat okay but I mean there can’t there there has to be a world in which vegetarian stews exist well now in a modern sense sure but before no every single Stew was made with beef or chicken or lamb so you’re saying it’s the idea of like a vegetarian stew is the same thing as a veggie burger the term stew comes from stewing meat for a long period of time yes in the sense that the term Burger comes from like grinding meat however if you grind vegetables in the same fashion it’s still a burger yeah that’s pretty interesting so the stew versus soup debate it’s certainly interesting I think again we talk about fluid dynamics a lot on this podcast we talk about needing to get an actual physicist to take viscosity measurements and flow rate measurements which I think those are technically the same thing every time I bring that up I get like a handful of physicists in my DMs uh who are just like hey I’m an actual physicist what you said doesn’t make sense of like shut up Meg shut up Meg okay okay so so chicken tikka masala let’s go back to that analogy because that is curries also do not exist and you’re listen that quote is going to be taken out of context oh no no I I will absolutely explain this and any any Indian person can tell you that Curry does not exist in India it is simply not Americanized it well uh uh British British UK eyes yeah I mean it’s absolutely a function of colonization so uh the legend goes um actually hold on there’s let me say let me cite my source okay so a lot of this is kind of paraphrased from Lizzie collingham’s book uh it’s called Curry a tale of cooks and conquerors uh and the initial kind of term Curry as we understand it pretty much across the world today because it’s in Hong Kong it’s in Thailand uh it’s in South Africa it’s in Australia it’s in America um the the term as we understand it likely comes from a Tamil word that’s very similar it’s pronounced like Kari uh which can have different definitions based on how you pronounce it um it it can either mean like biting or it can mean seasoned but when the Portuguese got to Goa in around late 1400s early 1500s basically one Portuguese explorer was like yo what am I eating and they’re just like Katie and then he just took that to mean any sort of dish that was stew-like and that was seasoned heavily with spices and so you kind of start with this 500 year old idea that anything with a vague Indian spice flavor profile because again spices like you know like uh I don’t know coriander like black pepper um like cardamom didn’t exist in Europe at the time so they took any heavily spiced food that gen that came from the Indian subcontinent they just kind of started calling it Curry and then you know the British East India Company and other British companies that had colonized India at the time started selling what they called curry powder and they even sort of sold it back to their colonized subjects and then that literally spread to anywhere that Britain was so literally you think of the idea of Thai curry because a lot of people bring that up when they’re like well Thai curry is a big existed for you know hundreds upon hundreds of years but they were never called curries the Thai term for what we call Curry is a guyang I believe and so Curry is this kind of neologism that migrated its way over there so I would take Curry to mean any sort of heavily spiced stew essentially and I think chili satisfies that definition very very vividly because to me it is aromatics it is spices that are you know somewhat either indigenous or indicative to a region that has stood for a long period of time so to me chili is absolutely a an American technically a Tejano Curry that may have roots in the Canary Islands may have roots in Mexico who knows so that is my big brain Galaxy brain theory that chili is not a soup it is a curry why don’t you just call it a gisado so the the Mexican roots of Chile are are really really interesting also it depends what you’re talking about when you say chili so if you’re talking about Chile con carne um there are some people who believe it literally has Aztec Roots they’re historians that wrote about Aztec stews that were like chilies fried and lard with tomatoes Etc but the addition of a lot of the spices which if you talk to anyone who makes chili seriously the spices are a huge part of it some people think that that comes from a bunch of Canary Island immigrants who settled in San Antonio interesting yeah my friend is actually currently in the Canary Islands right now so far she’s traveling around the world right now do they tell you anything about the food um she just says that there’s a lot of Spanish she’s like it’s like a lot of Spanish influence and like there’s no actual traditional food or people there in the Canary Islands man speaking of colonization uh but yeah I mean Spain would have brought spices from Morocco to the Canary Islands which explains you know how something like cumin would end up in Chile con carne interesting but so where does this mean so what does this have to do with the 15 lovely Southern men cooking up chili up until you know they have their necks and ground beef and beans and spices how does this colonization and the competitions of Chile end it being a soup or stew or a curry or gisado have to do with this podcast it has it has everything to do with everything Nicole okay so especially like when you think about chili weed now sort of think about the canned chili movement right like Hormel is a big player in that game oh my gosh yeah and this all kind of comes down to like 1950s canning technology and just mass-producing food kind of you know convincing women that it’s going to save uh you know them domestic servitude to be able to just microwave up a can of fresh Hormel chili get a spicy taste to the southwest of exotic New Mexico in your kitchen and and so that kind of happened and it sort of like took chili away from its roots and in a sense it was also kind of the first mass produced if we consider chili to be a Mexican food and that is how it was marketed a lot of the times and there’s a really fascinating story behind what are known as the chili Queens of San Antonio um serving Chile con carne but if you consider chili to be like of Mexican origin America sort of took that and then very very much whitewashed it to be this sort of like Southwest American Universal flavor that everyone can enjoy in their own home like put a can of chili uh into your you know microwave hard taco shell or something like that so I think it transcends soup in that way because do you think Manwich is chili no Manwich ain’t no chili Manwich is and which is chili no man which is Agra Dolce the first time I bought a can of Manwich was 4 GMM and I was like hey Josh am I supposed to like buy ground beef and put it in here is it in here and you’re like yeah Nicole you have to buy ground beef and I’m like wow you Americans are so interesting yeah they can’t they can’t afford to put all the beef in the can they just give you this but they do it for Hormel I was like they can do it for Hormel why can’t they do there’s hardly any beef in Hormel I think May is more chilly than chili is soup I don’t I mean to me I think a sloppy joe sandwich and a bowl of chili are more related than any sort of soup stew whatever wait I thought you said chili was a soup but now that you talked about colonization and everything else my brain was just like nope yeah because I mean there there’s like if you go to a diner right yes they’ll generally have two soup options three maybe if you’re lucky they got clam chowder which I also believe is a soup insofar as soups exist which to be clear they do not you just said they they don’t know Nicole Nicole yeah as someone who wears flip-flops a lot you are a flip-flop can you hear my flip-flops I’m literally recording it on me I can hear it sir this is a Wendy’s drive through please stop yelling about chili and colonization hey hot Doggers we wanted to tell you about our exciting upcoming event mythicon heck yeah we do mythicon is our first ever immersive weekend experience with the mythical kitchen Rhett and Link and a big old bunch of the mythical crew there’s a carnival a dance party live podcast it’s gonna be huge it’s on October 28th to the 30th in Austin Texas for one weekend only so you don’t want to miss it check out

favorite mythical crew members and we all know your favorite mythical crew member is Nicole that’s right over to mythicontickets.com right now to check out availability okay diners diners would typically have three soup options you got clam chowder you got chili and then you got miscellaneous soup of the day so like I understand the function that chili is a wet food that you eat with a spoon so I understand the function of putting it in the category of soup however if there there is sort of a rule uh in what do they call it constitutional philosophy or something that if there is a more specific term for a food then you use that term can that argument be flipped against me in almost any argument that we have had on this show of course of course just choose not to because I respect you and if I like overpower you in a debate you might fire me no that’s not true that wouldn’t happen I mean it happened to the ones before you but it wouldn’t happen to you there were once before me my heart I I am generally fascinated with like chili culture and for it and like y’all put beans in your chili yeah for real because there’s so many people that have so many specific weird memories and styles of chili that they’ve eaten uh like a lot of the opinion casseroles we’ve gotten are people from I believe Kansas City Missouri area who are like you don’t eat cinnamon rolls with your chili yeah I remember how we used to get those comments it’s like what no I do not I also don’t put spaghetti with my chili but that does sound good actually I mean that’s another entire thing if you if you talk about the Cincinnati five-way which is not a grotesque sexual act but rather spaghetti I just raised my eyebrows at Josh like oh yeah is that true yeah that medicine today if I play all right so Cincinnati five-way is spaghetti covered in Cincinnati style chili which is very very sweet and uh all sweet spice too with like cinnamon clove stuff like that uh chili spaghetti kidney beans cheese and onions on it I believe yeah maybe sour cream uh really delicious I’m a fan but if you look at the chili like that it’s not a soup at all I mean it’s like a Bolognese which is why they put it on Sketti okay I I am changing my tune chili is a Bolognese Manwich is a Bolognese chili is a Bolognese spag bull is bologna it never adds bag Bowl mate hey one time I went on a date with this little guy yeah I have a little bugger and he made me a bowl spec bowl and I was like what a bowl of spag ball is what the Brits called spaghetti bolognese yeah I watch a lot of uh British dating shows like little snippets on YouTube whenever I’m bored and then there’s like blind dates and somehow spag bull gets mentioned far too much it’s it’s like a great first date food you know it’s really weird the way that certain things like don’t translate across cultures like it’s weird that in America we refer to almost any tomato based pasta sauce as marinara yes where that’s just like not a thing like marinara is a very unique like Neapolitan dish literally means like Fisherman’s from the sea exactly yeah yeah and then if you go to Australia where there’s a very huge Italian kind of influenced food culture they specifically refer to tomato sauce as Posada and I think it comes from like literally to past the tomatoes through like a tomato Crusher like a sieve yeah exactly so I think that’s really so interesting back to Chile being a Bolognese even if there’s beans in that chili you’re calling it a Bolognese yeah of course what’s your definition of Bolognese because Bolognese it literally just means from the city of Bologna uh Bolognese it’s very very simple it is a red sauce plus meat plus seasonings you want to add beans in there go ahead I’m not going to judge you I don’t care I guess yeah I’ve had like I don’t know some kind of like Southern Italian like yeah sure I have no organization yeah dude where you know at the place no um it was it was it was some hipster Italian chef though in La I just realized so it doesn’t count because they make like wild it was the same dude that makes the like soup dumpling tortellini and brodo Oh you mean Ali mental Zach Pollock from Elemento yeah yeah heck of a chef but like for me to go ahead and be like yeah that’s authentic Italian that’s that’s tough I don’t doubt that he’s done his research Etc et cetera but he’s got style uniquely of his own um but wait hold on I was gonna say something but I lost it my brain’s all fudged up today man chilly oh it’s okay the common problem that we’re running into with the is chili soup debate is one I keep insisting nouns don’t exist but two you can’t you can’t pigeonhole chili to be one thing because there are so many different kinds the difference between like say legit San Antonio Chile con carne versus Cincinnati style chili versus a Coney Island chili dog chili that’s just like a runny vinegary weird meat sauce yes the term chili became so important to like American Cuisine and there were so many imitators because of how popular it was in the 1950s that it simply means to many things I remember going to a chili cook-off that I should absolutely have won but this one junky lady entered a chili contest yeah did I enter a chili contest I did this like really dope I didn’t know that yeah did this dope like smoke it was like a you know small one like 20 people sponsored by something uh but I made this like great like smoked short rib charred tomatillo chili yada yada um but some drunk lady went around and bribed all the judges uh but she made like a white chili which to me like what is a white chicken chili like how does that have any sort of you know resemblance to a bowl of Texas red or even Cincinnati style chili like it was just a can of Ortega green chilies and some like chicken breast and it was white I mean we’ve made white chili on the show but that shows how powerful the term chili has become in the sense that we use it as a generic term to describe any sort of like spiced american-ish maybe Southwest inspired stew in the same way that we use Curry to describe any stew that has a vaguely Indian flavor profile you know what I’m saying yeah no no that makes total sense to me but again I don’t I still don’t know is it soup is it stew is it just a a boiled brothy beefy situation like what do we what can we classify it as or does it not even need to be classified is it just chilling its own category I don’t think it can be classified because Nicole are you ready for this one chili doesn’t exist chili does not oh my God chili does not exist there are too many kinds that when you say it’s like saying unicorns exist right it’s like well what do you mean by unicorn do you mean a horse that someone like you know into its head no but I’m saying that’s not a unicorn there’s no there’s no Universal understanding of what a unicorn is does a unicorn have wings does it fart out Sparkles does it poo rainbows is it just a horse with a bone sticking out its head there’s no Universal definition of what a unicorn is so Unicorn it’s a magical horse with a horn on it no no what are his magic powers listen I I was a unicorn girl okay listen to me right now no I don’t look like one now but I used to be a unicorn girl these are the these are the requirements to be a unicorn a noble Steed a noble Steed a horn on your head and you have to be some sort of magical being and if you meet those requirements you’re a unicorn but we have never in the history of mankind have documented and proved the authenticity of a unicorn but I’ve had a bowl of chili before Josh why is soup so politicized or is it because chili is not soup I agree chili is not soup I would it was but now it’s really not speaking of politics Macedonia is in the news they’re trying hold on I know not the Macedonian politics I know there’s something going on with them in the Greek government uh but the reason I’m bringing up Macedonia is because Cincinnati style chili was actually created by a Macedonian immigrant and the spices yeah and the spices and flavor profiles are actually that of a Macedonian or I believe Northern Greek style stews that often take like sweet red wine cinnamon and tomatoes and stew them with meat and so that’s why Cincinnati style chili is like hella sweet and has all that cinnamon in it is because it has nothing to do with the dish Chile con carne and is its very own unique kind of Macedonian American diaspora beautiful immigrant business story of a dude who knew that people bought thick red bowls of food called chili and he kind of turned this Macedonian dish into that and then slopped it on top of spaghetti in the Cincinnati five-way was born and you shouldn’t Urban Dictionary that I don’t eat chili did you know that yeah I think the last time I ate chili was maybe eight years ago at Johnny Rockets why does this conversation always go back to Johnny Rockets the Johnny Rockets file for bankruptcy can we finally secure that Johnny Rockets get you one of the paper hats from Johnny Rockets and I’ll get you some microwave onion rings and you’ll be happy with it but maybe it’s not our opinions that count which I know is a very tough thing to say but maybe there’s experts out there Nicole who have so too more formed opinions on this but I think they’re biased opinions because this is what Bree told in Vice President of the international Chile Society who whose son are you that you got named vice president of the international Chile Society I will call your credentials into questions sir or Madam I don’t know if Brie’s a man or woman or what they identify as okay but Bree says it is the official opinion of international Chile society that Chile is not and should not be considered a soup true chili is not too thin nor too thick making it neither a soup nor a stew that’s BS I don’t buy that because like if it’s in between a stew and a soup again we bring up Rachel Ray a lot she is our goddess okay yeah Rachel Ray called a stoop stoop kid’s afraid to eat his tooth oh it’s the Hey Hey Arnold Hey Arnold are you a stoop kid I wasn’t stupid yeah I hung out on Stoops and I threw uh small firecrackers at people yes you yes sir this is little poppers yeah yeah yeah then we got Campbell’s vice president of marketing Lynn vandeveer who again these people are all coming in with reasons to try and sway your opinion the international Chile Society wants you to think that chili is special so you don’t want you to think it’s a soup Campbell’s wants you to think it’s soup so they can sell more chili under the guys of soup they say be who you are and focus on who you want to be if chili wants to be a soup be a soup if cereal wants to be a soup be a soup I agree with that one though we welcome any food or beverage that wants to be considered a soup with open arms you do you chili one that is some Millennials wow that is some Millennial participation trophy BS Campbells vice president not everything can be a soup you’re just you’re warping terms here no no Color Me impressed I love this I actually kind of this it’s literally every single thing that you say just in a concise concrete sentence this is literally every single point you make it’s just more you know Millennial Savvy that’s why you don’t like it because it’s easy to digest I actually do like it this is kind of weirdly beautiful to me in a way I never thought I would uh shed a tear super accepting super inclusive it’s all 2020 is about man radical super inclusionism I love it maybe I can get down with that but here’s the thing Campbell’s Soup sales are down young people they ain’t been eating canned soup like the Ted cruises of the world do you’ll only get that reference if you know that Ted Cruz travels with his own cans of soup because that’s what he enjoys eating and that is the most Ted Cruz thing that you could ever do but Campbell’s kind of soup I don’t know what what kind of soup do you think Ted Cruz eats just like beef and barley uh like like it’s canned it’s not in a box like a cardboard no it’s a can yeah yeah the cheap stuff cheddar yeah cheddar condensed cheddar soup Ted Cruz just sucking down nacho cheese out of Campbell’s can for sure for sure continue with your points I think I think I think Campbell’s is trying to grease the tracks a little bit to try and up their soup sales because they know people ain’t buying soup no more so like yeah everyone come and be soup if you want to be soup free love buy Campbell’s I’m not necessarily buying that I am sticking with my original statement that chili is not a soup because soup does not exist but also chili does not exist I’m saying that chili is technically a curry which I can’t stress this enough also does not exist is that clear yeah I got that all right Nicole you’ve heard what you and I have to say now it’s time to find out what other wacky ideas are rattling around there in the twitterverse it’s time for a segment we call opinions I like casserole just let you do it that time I kind of like that [Music] mythical arshia says Fruit Loops plus milk plus peanut butter equals Bliss I love old people cereals so sometimes I could take Cheerios and a spoonful of peanut butter and milk and that’s a really really good snack I also do that with stop laughing at my old people series with corn flakes sometimes and I also do it with Weetabix which is the biscuit ones that’s so funny I I do something really similar my favorite is Special K redberries plus milk plus Nutella oh yeah I love that Nutella and peanut butter do not dissolve into the milk at all and I love that you just get like gobs of it and it’s just kind of floating around ugh little floaters oh little floaters of just Consolidated fat I love it love it all right at that weird Asian one I like taking waffles eggs bacon and syrup and making a breakfast taco slash burrito with it as someone who’s so brave no I actually hate this uh me one of the worst flavor combinations in all of food are eggs and maple syrup I can’t I love maple syrup and pancakes love it on bacon and sausage cannot stand when it touches my eggs or potatoes for that matter you’re so sensitive I’m a Puritan I love this and I would do this so don’t worry I support you even though it’s pretty basic I am a Puritan I have never even had a Cincinnati five-way Dale underscore Mark says a food Revelation passed on to me by an adventurous and brave friend dash of Diet Coke in your chicken flavored Ramen will change your instant Ramen game for good I love these little I love these silly little hacks of how to make ramen taste better like putting a Gob of peanut butter or like putting a bunch of fish sauce I even think of I’ve seen people put like slap on some American cheese into their Ramen hey man I’m not gonna judge you I think this is awesome and like cool and I’m honestly probably gonna try it because I hate Diet Coke so maybe it’ll make me like Diet Coke who knows this isn’t a way for you to enjoy Ramen more it’s a way for you to enjoy Diet Coke more I don’t you really lumped in like adding peanut butter or an egg or fish sauce to your Ramen with a dash of Diet Coke those are not the same things whatever like fish sauce and ramen makes sense there’s a lot of like you know fish based soups out there yeah but that’s kind of like the you know uh forgive the uncouth parlance but in my neck of the woods that’s called white trash Pad Thai I don’t know if it’s something with like the aspartame or the camo coloring or just the weird kind of like heady uh artificial flavorings in it but I’m interested in trying it you’ve got our Curiosities peaked for sure okay this this one’s interesting at Fidelis y’all cheese does not belong on chicken sandwiches I agree very hard with this one and this isn’t okay this is a weird opinion for me to maybe have but I’ve discussed I don’t like cheese as much as people think I like cheese uh and I think especially a fried chicken sandwich but even a grilled chicken sandwich to me it just does not go together like cheese and beef go together cheese and chicken not in this context for whatever reason I sometimes like cheese on my chicken sandwiches like a nice provolone just blanket it on top with a bunch of mushrooms and a little bit of onion I think is perfect um but that’s like more of like a homemade thing like if I go out and eat a chicken sandwich chances are I don’t want cheese on it yeah but like at home when I’m doing a homemade little you know situation maybe I understand like a sharp cheese like you get one of those like provolone picantes on there it’s actually adding some flavor I actually hate pepper jack cheese did you know that why do you hate Pepper Jack it’s such a weird Pepper Jack is nasty it’s like the little dots in there like make me think of like worms why do we both have irrational cheese opinions pepper jack cheese first of all tastes like booty Flakes and also in my mind the little flakes are actually booty flakes we should Market a cereal called booty flakes great that’s already a slogan yeah I was gonna say we’re just gonna try and buy that off of Frosted Flakes for our booty flakes their booty is that better yeah does anyone has anyone ever said the term bootylicious before did we just invent that no no we got it that’s ours they’re bootylicious Jackson zero six four says scrapple fried hard with grape jelly sweet gherkins and cheddar cheese in in parentheses sure uh we had scrapple together and we loved it a lot scrap is good scrapple in a roll with grape jelly instead of sweet gherkins I would go so a harvest dried Egg and I would have a little bit of mustard and mustard too but a scrapple and egg sandwich with grape jelly and mustard to me fan freaking tastic scrapple is the best yep to eat more scrapple eat more weird organs ground up and fried I’m telling you it’s good for you it makes you strong makes your bones strong all right we got at welp MFS one garlic powder onion powder salt pepper required for seasoning meat tell your husband I said you’re welcome and then rolling on the floor laughing whose husband what is going on here okay the person’s implying that garlic onion salt and pepper are required for seasoning all meats that is a very delicious very basic rub I would also add paprika into that because I like the color red uh but yeah that’ll honestly make most Meats taste pretty delicious I think if you’re going to have five seasonings in a cabinet that is not a bad way to go yeah I agree I think garlic powder onion powder salt pepper paprika are Staples and everyone should have them in their pantry and some sort of green flake that can be parsley Josh tell your husband they said you’re welcome you’re welcome hubby XOXO Beth Ann M Smith says black olives smell like ass as do cooked beef ramen noodles okay I got a theory I got a theory for Beth I think I think they’re going on a very small sample size I think one time they opened a can of black olives and someone tooted and she is probably her husband and she went hubby did you did you make two again did you make air biscuits and he was like honey no I would never make air biscuits to you and then she assumed resolves and I think the same thing happened when she cooked beef ramen noodles bethan Smith you gotta tell hubby to quit making little toots when you’re trying to just eat your Ramen because no I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about at Matt is Evergreen this one Nicole I saw this one and I said this is going to induce a reaction can restaurants and legit everywhere stop putting onions in and on everything it’s a weak ass crutch that smells Rank and you should try harder you should try harder Matt is Evergreen you should try harder to freaking be more inclusive and understand that onions are the building blocks of flavor in so many different culture Cuisines Matt is Evergreen you should try harder and enjoy your damn life you should change your name to Matt is ever mean because this is a dumb opinion and onions are bomb and you know what’s a crutch that people use truffle oil truffle oil that’s a real crutch onions onions are the building blocks of flavor along with garlic like what are you talking about you’re just trying to be controversial for no reason Matt is ever mean Edge Lord Matt is ever always edgelord man glad we can glad we could agree on that one okay uh Hey underscore um underscore it’s me my sister used to dip hard taco shells and applesauce uh she okay do you need to call somebody a lot of people dipping weird stuff in applesauce so here’s what I’ll say about that there needs to be a more codified snack that you should dip in applesauce because that’s why people are dipping all these weird things no you can’t dip apples and applesauce it’s like just why not it’s like just dipping a slice of cheddar and nacho cheese that’s weird but but uh no it’s not have you ever had a freaking have you ever dipped a chicken into mayonnaise which is you know eggs that’s a stretch you know I do love chicken dipped in mayonnaise being the whitest person on Earth no it’s like it’s like putting ketchup on a slice of tomato and just eating it which well I guess I put a Thousand Islands acceptable yeah yeah apple sauce that way you can prevent dipping hard taco shells in your applesauce that makes sense to me apple chips yeah yeah at Emilio ortizo seven burnt hot dogs taste better from a charcoal grill as opposed to what burnt in this on in the oven just microwave burnt a hot dog um best way to cook a hot dog that might be one worth exploring do people can do people care about that because I’ve said before that I prefer a hot dog that’s been poached in lukewarm water for about 50 to 95 minutes and then and then taken out and just put wet into a bun and then wrapped up but now thinking about a good charred hot dog from the grill it gets me all excited my favorite way to eat a hot dog is I take a hot dog it has to be Hebrew National and then I slash it like 15 times and then it kind of looks like it’s like been like through the ringer a lot and then I take it on a searing searing searing searing searing hot pan and then I just like let it naturally flip over on it so you can’t sleepy right now but I’m flipping I’m flipping my fingers I’m kidding I’m six I’m kidding I’m six lighten up no zeros use you Squiddy cake says rolled gold pretzels and cream cheese tastes like wait wait this person doesn’t know what’s going on rolled gold pretzels pretzel and cream cheese tastes like popcorn popcorn uh okay this is good I’m happy that you have found this I don’t think so I think this person has a concussion because that happens right you get like weird what a no not a nosmia did dis dysphagia I’ll call it no dysphagia is a thing where you can’t eat food properly they got a weird thing where if you get a concussion you like smell popcorn maybe I think that’s what happened don’t fall asleep [Laughter] at Dagny Jackson growing up a treat in quotes which is how you know it was not a treat we were given was pretzels on a plate with a dollop of mayonnaise to dip them in so why are you making burner accounts again Josh we talked about this last time enough enough no my treat was a frozen McDonald’s hamburger that I would microwave and put Thai sweet chili sauce on that was my treat and that’s a real treat yeah just dip and dip in pretzels and mayonnaise though ah that sounds great to me uh were they like soft pretzels or like hard pretzels you think I guess I was hoping soft I’m guessing hard pretzels I remember the first time I took my high school girlfriend on a date to like a nice restaurant you know one where you had to spend like a hundred dollars on like a whole dinner there’s this nice Italian restaurant called te amoristorante in Laguna Beach uh and they like brought out their free bread type of thing which were uh grissini or Italian breadsticks and what we thought was whipped butter but it was just like a cup of mayonnaise I’m guessing it was aiolios I’ve done that before I’ve definitely done that before yeah and I was into it and my high school girlfriend was like stop eating the mayonnaise and I’m like this is going to frame my love life for years to come isn’t it and she said yes Josh I am from The Future Three one four cheller says chocolate tastes great sandwich between two chips yeah yeah it sure does this is what we call a stoner snap yeah yeah this is called a stone this is a stoner snack for sure and someone who once operated a failed pop-up where I lost several thousand dollars called Stony baloney I can fully fully endorse the fact that chocolate tastes great when
