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 we’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 podcast [Music] the average american child consumes 1500 pb j sandwiches before they turn 18. that number has roughly nothing to do with the podcast i just really want to know whose job it is to track child sandwich consumption anyways we’re talking about the best pb j combos because this is a hot dog as a sandwich ketchup is a smoothie yeah i put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense hot dog is a sandwich a hot dog is a sandwich welcome to our podcast of hot dogs as 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 and iady and nicole today we’re talking about tracking child sandwich consumption okay when you like do you just put the tags on the kids ears four and then what do you what the answer is four what four you have four children that you’re tracking their sandwich consumption habits maybe i do not wanna who are these kids where did you find these are they do you know them you ask way too many questions hey speaking of questions nicole how do you feel about pb and j’s i love peanut butter and sandwiches except um mine i know it’s going to be a little bit controversial controversial i already know people are going to be up in arms like what are you talking about lady i saw you make it pete you made a pb and j about half an hour ago in the kitchen for quote-unquote research and i hated what you did i had to get in the right frame of mind for the podcast you know how like people they do push-ups before like they go like uh like before they lift oh josh yeah thank you no that’s me that’s exactly what i do you know people do push-ups so they look really vainy on camera and josh here yeah i have an old grease bucket that i do bicep curls with and then i do a couple different grip style of push-ups yeah to activate different parts of my chest uh-huh that’s normal so i just ate a pb j and josh got really offended when he saw that i folded a single bread in half yeah to eat my sandwich if you want to make half a pb and j which is something i often want just a little uh a little lamb yap in between the day mm-hmm that’s a great word yep yeah i don’t know it’s like a southern creole word i think it just means like a little nosh okay a lanyard anyways you want a little lame yap in the middle of the day and if you want a half a pb and j i refuse to fold the bread over and i will actually cut down the middle to create two separate halves of the bread because unlike a hot dog that has the bread hinge i think when you have that in a pb and j it messes up the ratios i don’t agree with you at all about the messed up ratios there what do you mean the ratios a pb j has to be to me on two separate slices of bread i’ve made plenty of pbj pb js on hot dog buns you know i’ll eat whatever yeah but my ideal it has to have the same equal ratio on every single bite that’s important to me that’s like part of my comfort ppj is such a comfort food i have so many weird little emotions a pb j should be boring i don’t want to be excited by many people i want to be comforted i want the pbg to hug me from the inside out the way my father never did anyways nicole what is we just weren’t a touchy family it’s cool we showed love in our own ways um you said you’re sorry let’s get back to the topic at hand you said your your ideal pb j combo because that’s what we’re talking about here what’s the bread what’s the nut butter okay what’s the jam okay your ultimate what are you going with my ultimate number one most delicious peanut butter peanut butter and jelly combo is ora wheat whole wheat bread number one which is already people are gonna be openers like why isn’t it white bread because i grew up in a house that i had to be healthy in front of my mom yeah we grew up in that area yeah low-fat cottage cheese or wheat whole wheat bread from the costco that was sold in two packs number two the jam mine is smucker’s raspberry preserves with the seeds oh oh you like the i get it you don’t like it boneless no you get the raspberries with the bones i need the crunch i need to know i’m eating a real fruit you know what i mean no the jelly the jelly it’s just fruit juice it doesn’t do it for me again it’s that health it’s that weird like health like nod that i’m like doing i know what you mean it’s like getting the lemonade that has like three percent real juice in it and you’re like what is that gonna do you know uh but yeah i feel that my peanut butter you know i’ve said it time and time again it’s laura scudders the main girl laura scudder so that’s my typical pb j and it is typically on one piece of bread that i fold over and then really controversial debbie actually taught me this shout out to debbie debbie taught me that if you put the bread with the peanut butter on in the toaster oven the top gets like crackly and then melty and then you put your jelly on it and it’s oh no you’re a toaster no no i don’t toast my bread i toast the peanut butter and the bread is nice and soft but the peanut butter gets nice and toasty yeah the peanut butter sort of melts and it gets into the crevasses of the bread it makes it so it creates this like skin almost like pudding okay and then melty in the middle and then they just put like a dollop a dollop of the jam and it’s just delicious what kind of ratios you’re working with peanut butter and jelly i don’t know i know people people talk about that i don’t even think about the ratio yeah it’s however i’m feeling like one day i want you know i want more peanut butter one day i want like you know my bread to be a little bit flatter so i kind of like squeeze it down like it just depends maybe it’s the butt of the bread uh oh no you throw that away no you throw away the butter bread no you saved the butt of the bread for like uh no not even croutons i’m saying for like the end of the week i also have my like end of the week meal which is typically like sunday afternoon before i go shopping again where it’s like let’s clean everything out of the fridge we’re just going to throw it into a pot we’re going to do whatever that’s that’s when the bread heels come out to play from like i got an old can of tuna and some vegetable scraps we’re mashing that together we’re eating it with a bread heal yeah but other than that i will never make a pb and j on a bread heel okay and and this is my honorable mention uh grape jelly uncrustable numerous ghosts that is man there’s something about uncrustables that i can’t stand the peanut butter is so gummy and hard i know i i didn’t grow up on them because they were like too expensive moment here i love on christmas so much what is it about uncrustables for you they’re so bad for you what do you mean they’re bad for they’re just the bread is funny i think they’re like generally bad for society bread is fake the peanut butter’s fake the jelly is fake but it’s so you want to talk about being hugged from the inside that’s an uncrustable being hugged from the inside is isn’t i guess that’s how i feel about like a ham and cheese hot pocket or specifically a breakfast lean pocket well you know better that’s pure comfort for me yeah uncrustable okay so your ultimate pb j you’re going or wheat whole wheat raspberry smuckers preserves the seeds these preserves yeah and then the laura scatters peanut butter toasted just the peanut butter toasted so it melts into the crevasse i don’t do that as much as i used to but like if i’m feeling like hella nostalgic that’s what i’m doing yeah what i love about your pb j it’s a it might be a bit controversial a lot of people might go under bread i don’t really know but i agree with you on the wheat bread but i love that there’s a common theme throughout your whole pb j which is like a little a little illusion of like health yes hundred percent like there’s every single level of it because laura’s gutters that’s like the og like quote-unquote natural peanut butter yeah yeah yeah that you get in stores when you got a stir for like three freaking minutes which is why i avoid it like the plague i still have nothing in my fridge the the jam with the seeds things you’re like well it’s basically a fruit and the whole wheat bread which has almost no they’ve like done studies and found out that the whole wheat bread in stores and the white bread are pretty much your body reacts to it almost completely identically there’s a tiny tiny bit more don’t tell shallow there’s more tell me there’s a little there’s a little bit more fiber but i think it’s uh there was harold mcgee to this study um he was the author of modernist bread okay where we basically found out that like the nutrients that you find in whole wheat especially in grocery store bread like your people’s bodies just aren’t deficient of them ever so it’s kind of like pointless why we eat it that said i prefer the taste of it yeah it tastes more like bread it tastes more bread than readier yeah i think it’s a breadier bread it’s the it’s it’s the way that it looks yeah you know the little the little nuts and seeds on the outside i love the little nuts and seeds i think they’re just oats uh yeah well okay so it’s on that so you want me to get into mine go for it okay so many people took up many hobbies during quarantine uh-huh one of mine was trying to build the best pb and jacob really because like i mentioned it it’s very much a comfort food for me uh when i’m feeling a little down i’ll just make a pb and j you know have a nice little glass of whole milk or almond milk with it or something even like one of the bites i’ll dip in the milk just for you know just for laughs can i ask you just for goofs yeah yeah do you drink milk out of the carton like a savage yeah of course me too yeah yeah yeah double check okay continue and i was also like living alone during this and so oh i’d be like shirtless coming back from workouts slamming whole milk oh yeah super fun i have an image of what that smells like well you know i don’t have body odor i have that gene where you don’t have body odor and your ear wax is clear and clear and crusty yeah instead of wet and yellow my ear wax is just clear my mom is the same way really she and i should hang out me and shelly should do a workout like very little body hair yeah yeah you guys it’s it’s nice save money on razors what i did i got really into like buying all the best nut butters on the instacart and so i have found out my absolute ideal pb j preparation nice starts off dave’s killer bread 21 grain oh i know what you’re saying josh wouldn’t you go power seed no no 21 grand you like the power too many seeds okay it’s 21 grain though it’s got that enough grains that’s a lot of grains i couldn’t even name 21 grains but dave’s killer bread puts them on there and they do great things for hiring uh ex-offenders and giving them job opportunities the whole story of dave’s killer bread is just yeah we’ll get to that later it’s it’s awesome and dave’s killer brand they changed the game they made because i love oro wheat yeah i love the whole oreo wheat cannon of breads either double fiber is great even uh they’re the country potato yeah or whatever it is yeah the country potato from or wheat or wheat makes fantastic bread uh but dave’s killer bread kind of came in they changed it they made a wetter bread and that’s it’s wetter it’s denser there’s even like more calories in it because it’s just denser and wetter yeah uh so dave’s killer bread 21 grain bun mama blackberry preserves oh the one okay so the jar the jar that has the the checkerboard pattern on the top did you know that that uh that person who made that jam um i think they like fled auschwitz or something really yeah oh my god like a crazy story with that one too i had no idea crazy story with that i should have looked up the stories behind all these brands all i know is that you get the bun mama jam it’s just a delicious high quality and i’ve gotten all the ones from the farmer’s market and the nice organics i’ve gotten the harry’s berries strawberry preserves me too uh nothing for me beets bun mama and this is my fancy pb j and then uh a new brand of peanut butter that i found that’s like post loris gutters laura scudders og they’re the first but then you start getting like the justins of the world but i found a brand that i really love called wild friends it’s got a picture of a squirrel on it uh-huh and i use wild friends peanut cashew super butter with chia flax and honey yeah and i’ll tell you that the flax adds a savoriness to that peanut butter flax to me is actually a really delicious flavor can i ask you is the flax ground in there are there whole seeds a little bit of sweetness and i i don’t love alternate nut butters in my sandwiches like i don’t love an almond butter and jelly sandwich i’m not into that i want the peanut but i will say the little bit of cashew cutting through the peanut with the flax added to it a little bit of honey so good but that’s my fancy version my my normal comfort version is aura wheat whole wheat nice double fiber if i got it skippy natural which is a great product i can’t not laugh at naturals i don’t naturally trevor have literally poisoned my pure mind i hate you guys what would skippy natural oh or just the term naturals oh yeah the big skippy naturals out there no skippy natural okay the term natural should be banned on all food packaging i i agree that’s false yeah it means nothing right uh but if you put natural on food packaging 70 of people think that that means quote unquote healthier that’s true and natural means nothing you can use it with impunity that said skippy natural is better than skippy unnatural it just tastes better and i don’t know you might feel a little bit better about buying it and then uh welch’s grape jelly in in the grape versus strawberry jelly debate i’m going grape jelly raspberry do you know this so uh uh welch actually like invented grape jelly they like patented in the 1920s they patented the process to puree concord grapes and turn them into jelly concord grapes same thing that manifests is made out of i love yo one time i made a concord grape popsicle change the game concord grapes when people say that grapes don’t taste like grape candy they’re referring to like red table grapes yeah that they’re eating the concord grapes do yeah like green milk they taste so purple they taste purple they taste purple uh and oh also the original name for it was a grape blade like marmalade it’s called grape blade and i don’t know how we lost that to the sands of history i’m so mad about that i have to ask you a question yeah whenever you’re making your pb and j and you’re like oh no i have no evil jam because you’re english yeah do you ever like on pajamas what do you reach for in like that event do you reach for like honey like marmalade uh like what do you reach for because i always reach for the marmalade because it’s the closest like dude when i was a kid i used to eat peanut butter and marmalade sandwiches and like now i tried it recently and i just i don’t love it i love marmalade and butter yeah yeah me too me too no i so i will say peanut butter and jelly is actually my alternate sandwich already because my number one is always peanut butter honey and banana yeah yeah yeah that to me that is actually the best combination of things just fresh banana gotta be like super over ripe no not to banana bread kind of squishiness yeah but like really heavily brown spotted uh just some honey drizzled right over the bananas peanut butter and then you crush the bread down a little bit to where the honey soaks into the bread and to me that is the best and then for that nicole yes what i use you wrote this down what somebody’s prepared yeah dude i i want to plug the good products uh wild friends shout out back to wild friends okay favorite product it is a chocolate coconut peanut butter and so it’s got coconut oil in it so like if you put it in the fridge it’s really hard i have the earth balance version of that and i’m obsessed with the coconut peanut butter dude so so freaking so good it’s like because i i mean i i dig on chocolate banana is a great combo peanut butter and banana peanut butter chocolate all of that works together but i don’t love nutella just because nutella is so sweet that it’s like frosting to me and i’d rather just have duncan heinz frosting if i’m going that route that’s rude and so what i said it you’re right um no i just nutella it’s it’s not a nut butter people call it hazelnut but it’s it’s really just sugar yeah it’s delicious but like if i i want the nut butter i’m there for the nuts nicole i’m there for the big naturals and the nuts the nut butter is like not sweetened you get all the sweetness from the honey and from the banana and then you get this almost like savory coconut chocolate peanut butter delightful and that’s the number one sandwich and then once during the during the quarantine where i was like yo let’s try and bridge the gap between pb and j and peanut butter honey banana and so i tried to make like a banana jam i was just gonna ask you why how come no banana jam on shelf well so bananas banana jam on shelf is basically gerber baby food if you think about it it’s so funny and if you’ve ever had gerber baby food banana which i have as an adult male because i’ve tried to break the baby food world record i sure did and i i failed last time and i’m going to come for it again but you have to put so much citric acid in it because fruit like bananas specifically brown really they oxidize very quickly that’s why it’s hard to have a shelf-stable avocado product and if they do it’s just plied with citric acid because they need that to get it to not brown and so banana jam on a shelf would just be this kind of citric acid-y mush type of thing but that said i made one at home where i like really caramelized and burnt the bananas and i hit it with like honey sugar and a little bit of almond milk to see if i could get some of that starch from the almonds to kind of thicken okay and a little bit of vanilla extract and that was really freaking good that’s something um that’s it i put it in the fridge and it just got like hella brown the next day oh and i still hate eggs and whatever brown’s fine like you tried to throw away my salad in the fridge the other day because avocados brown i’m sorry that was a bad that was a that was a d move nicole oh sorry and i you know what i did i’m mad i picked it i was bad and i waited till now to bring it up because i dug that salad out of the trash and i ate it i felt so it was closed in the trash and it wasn’t covered in much trash but i ate that salad and it was a tender green salad which means i didn’t even enjoy it exactly i knew you wouldn’t i don’t enjoy their food give it to you anyways you trash raccoons yeah anyway [Music]

have you heard of a restaurant called pbnj la i sure have heard i’ve been to pb and jla multiple times i would like to know your opinion on the art because i know you’re all about the artisan artisanal nut butters and whatnot yes yes yes these guys do it quite well in my opinion yeah so what what pbj la is this place opened god maybe five years ago it’s been a while um and i believe the founder of umami burger was one of the people behind it um but anyways they they yeah adam fleischmann um but they opened this little shack inside this big market in la where they essentially make gourmet uncrustables they have a machine that they take like this brioche type bread and you can get you know all these different types of nut butters in there all these different types of specialty jams and then they have this whole menu of like weird specialty pb js including savory ones like there’s one with roasted tomato and arugula on it with nut butter that’s the italian one yeah there’s one there’s like an indian one with like a mango chutney and like a curry peanut butter i’ve had almost all of them and i love it there’s one that’s like an old-fashioned one right they have an old-fashioned one they have a coffee one called the red eye yeah with espresso mixed in the peanut butter i think it is a very cool concept and when this place debuted a lot of people were mad because they were like eight dollars for a pb and j blur that alert to blur and it’s like listen dude i’m i’m just trying to pay for happiness you know i got money but what else am i gonna spend that eight dollars what if i spend eight dollars on a turkey sandwich would that bring me any more happiness probably not i find happiness in pb j’s yeah um that said everything i’ve had from there just like it just like didn’t taste good in my mouth and it seemed like they could never figure out the gourmet uncrustable it’s an ambitious ask you know what i mean it’s just an ambitious uh and there’s a greater metaphor in that right yeah trying to take something that by definition to me is best when it’s like heavily processed and then trying to turn that artisanal because even one of the right you talk about smuckers on crustables the way they make that is they’re cutting the crust off the bread and all they do is they clamp it down to the machine and the bread is so sticky and wet and sugary that it sticks together right like a raviol like a raviolivo just sticks together right but then when you try and make like an artisanal bread you know and try and clamp it together to stick i remember last time i went to this place they um tried to stick the bread together and i took one bite and then the whole thing just opened up and like gobs of artisanal jelly ended up on my pants oh man yeah i don’t want i had to take the subway back and i said jelly in my pants and it was a bad time um but no that’s that’s a greater metaphor here and that’s why like i’m glad neither of us for our ideal pb j were like you get a nice artisanal brioche from your local french bakery you slice that and i’ve i’ve done that sure i’ve done it with like nice long fermented artisanal bread from like lodged bread and tried to make a pbj and it like it just don’t taste right yeah i try to make it into pita once weird yeah oh i’ve done a lot of that i’ve done a lot of like corn tortilla pb and js i’ve never done that you’ve never done that i have standards honey oh snap snap no because i mean a lot of the times if i’m like about to go in a workout or something and i haven’t had any calories i’ll just like take whatever like rice cake or tortilla and i’ll just like swipe that in peanut butter squirt a jelly get some fat get some carbs in there and just kind of apply it to my face one time at night i had like three spoons of peanut butter and then i couldn’t breathe and then i read it and looked it up on reddit like peanut butter short of breath and then what i thought it was gonna die yeah do you think i have like a late onset peanut allergy no i i thought i was dying because it was literally like stuck in my chest and i’m like and i realized that i just ate it too fast wait i know the exact i know the exact thing that you’re talking about yeah you know when you eat too many spoonfuls of peanut butter because you’re like whatever it happens when i chug whole milk too fast it’s just the fat kind of sticks i was like yeah i needed to go i was about to call my parents and be like i gotta go hospital because i had too much peanut butter and then i went out right and they’re like you just ate too much peanut butter too fast just breathe it out like thanks read it you know what i realized about peanut butter the other day what that it’s one of the like uniquely american foods that i’m like very proud of like i don’t know if i’d call myself a particularly patriotic person you know but like you know the olympics i’m going to root for america america i like america i’ve been having a good time here you know no places without its faults but like peanut butter is one of those things that makes me patriotic that’s nice and i’m like damn i’m glad i like because a lot of other people hate peanut butter so many other cultures around the world have peanuts right uh peanuts are in thai food you know chinese food vietnamese food boiled peanuts are a big thing in uh like for vietnamese snacking uh peanuts they grow them in the inca empire and like apparently they made peanut paste in the inca empire but it’s like peanut butter as we know it today is very uniquely american also i thought george washington carver invented it just about to say shout out to george washington yeah general shout out to george washington carver for being uh one of the foremost american agricultural side well the foremost american agricultural scientist um and developed like 105 different food products out of peanuts but apparently he was just like 20 years later than when peanut butter was like actually invented and kind of popularized but he made like champ he made like medications out of peanut butter or out of peanuts he like uh used peanuts for soil regeneration just a general shout out if you don’t know a lot about george washington carver just do a quick little look up yeah google them uh that could explain it better than we ever could uh but that said peanut butter apparently made its like kind of debut as a mass product in the 1904 world’s fair nice okay and then like it kind of ended up in high society and so you saw a bunch of weird peanut butter usages okay like at the vanity fair tea room they were serving just like watercress with like a gob of peanut butter and they’re like maybe this is how you use it and so i think it’s funny how like peanut butter and jelly ended up becoming the big thing and it’s also something that like europeans just don’t understand it’s just such a good combo it’s i think it works delightful how do you feel about almond butter sun butter mad about it almond butter i don’t know like peanuts are the best nuts sign me up even if we’re gone they are they’re not one they’re not even another legume i know i know i know cashew was the best nut no cashews are they’re too fatty they’re too soft they’re a weak nut almonds are too hard they’re a cold unfeeling nut i want a nice middle nut just a nut that rides the line of like you know it’s just fatty enough it’s got good earthy flavor to it life is about the peaks and the valleys man why can’t you pee why can’t your nut butter be a peak or a valley i don’t want that i want to know i want a consistent nut butter i have so many peaks and valleys in my own life you know uh emotional highs emotional lows dealing with unexpected things in life sure just grieving a total elation i don’t want my nut butter i especially don’t want pb and j to follow any of that pattern i want that to be my rock what are you gonna do when your kid has a peanut allergy you’re gonna oh man you know what i’m just gonna i’m gonna i’m gonna exposure therapy the kid and then like listen in schools you cannot give peanut butter sandwiches you can you literally cannot like schools are not free now are we the generation that kills i know there’s been a lot to do about millennials killing you know chili’s and barnes noble and all this are we gonna be the generation that kills peanut butter we’re we’re killing what cereal already right cereal’s taking a big downturn i think i think it depends on the allergies i think i think more and more kids are getting allergic to things let’s let’s just pretend that we’re both doctors because we basically are right i could have done buckets in medical oh yeah i would have i would have probably really struggled in that time there’s jeopardy you know that the medical stuff you look alveoli you look at me and i answer the medical jeopardy question brachial what is kidneys what is avuncular but no isn’t it something like kids got peanut allergies today because they haven’t been exposed to peanuts or something you know i actually read something about it and i think it’s the way that americans process peanuts that creates allergies and a lot of other countries the way that they like i think boiling or frying or cultivating they do it in a different way that creates less of a peanut allergy that’s been like one of the speculations about gluten intolerance in america too the way that it’s milled and stuff yeah the fact that we like i guess kill flower so early on in the process because a lot of bakers talk about baking with like live flour where the germ is still blah blah active or something endosperm yeah that’s it endosperm yeah um and with all the big naturals and sperm talk um but anyways that’s a lot of the theory of why so many americans are quote unquote gluten intolerant i keep using quote unquote because i i don’t know that there’s any i think there’s some there’s some validation yeah i mean all you can do is take people sort of at their word right there’s no like mouth swab or you can go like yes you are gluten intolerant but if you’re like i ate bread and my tummy hurts then it’s like well yeah obviously you should stop doing that fun fact anything i eat i feel like crap all the time i could be allergic to so many foods and i don’t know it just because i’m always hurting i have a fun activity for you i realize i’m allergic to bananas josh every time i eat a banana my mouth hurts and i burp your favorite sandwich it’s my favorite i’m not gonna stop eating it okay i have a fun activity for you and i to do one day maggie is gonna drive us to an allergist and we’re gonna get allergy tested like have you ever seen like whenever like poke your back with like a bunch of different things yeah i think you and i should go do a full conclusive allergy test and find out what we’re allergic to and never eat those things ever again oh no i’ll find out what i’m allergic to but i’m going to make my own damn decision nicole my body listens to me okay i don’t take orders from my body no no the pleasure center of brain control we’re steering the ship we’re the captain but think about the quality of life my mind that you’re allergic to coconut no i’m going to keep eating the coconut i really love not today coco the little young coconut cubes wow wow every time i get a coconut water the canned stuff i tried my best to find one with the cubes because i like that shout out to my brother for showing me that stuff when i was like 12. coconut water with pulp yeah and wait i feel like there’s some pbj stuff they didn’t touch on but there’s another thing i would much rather do the allergy panel than do the panel what the allergy panel do you know what it’s called no that’s what it’s called you’re right yeah i’d much rather do an allergy panel than the other thing which is um systematically removing foods from your diet for like a month yeah and then reintroducing them that sounds like hell on earth to me no i can’t and i am so sorry to anyone who’s ever had to do that because i would i would die i think just the line of work that we’re in and just the people we are yeah and like our general hobbies like i take so much joy and just going out and eating all the things i can yeah crunchy or smooth we already debated this in the podcast i love crunchy but for sandwiches i’m smooth are you really you traitor but let me tell you what it is no laura scutters is crunchy smooth peanut butter oh i know what you mean yeah it’s gritty yeah it’s a false binary between crunchy smooth there’s crunchy smooth and there’s gritty okay and i like a good gritty peanut butter i like gritty i like smooth in certain uh instances you love jiff though i know i love a good mana texture it’s like um ciao and mushi right mushy the steam japanese egg custard oh yeah yeah okay you know yeah you’re in it for the texture it’s got a beautiful texture or like a flan that’s what i want my peanuts yeah the peanut butter you can like make like a really nice like like when you get a good scoop of peanut butter and like it’s sensual it is peanut butter is the people are sensuous peanut butter it’s sensual josh what have we learned about each other i think i think we learned that nicole you and i seem more different than we actually are and

nicole i heard what you and i have to say now it’s time to find out what other wacky ideas are rattling out there in the twitterverse it’s time for a segment we call opinions or like casseroles [Music] you know what we didn’t get to talk about during this killer bread no okay yeah wait dave’s killer bread one dave was a multiple time convicted villain i think so i believe and then started like selling his bread at farmers markets yeah and then now it’s like the most successful fastest growing bread brand in the history of the world looks like it good for dave shout out to dave what true rags to riches true rags and riches uh uh employees former felons everyone deserves a second chance all that prison industrial complex number two world war ii you didn’t get you love talking i love to i love talking about world war ii’s influence on food yeah world war ii uh peanut butter and jelly were in rations because they were both heavily domestic products that they didn’t have to import and use extra shipping costs so they were not only in rations but peanut butter and jelly stamps were also in the food stamp book that they gave to like civilians for rations uh-huh and so that was a big part in popularizing peanut butter jelly across america that’s what about two rations huh world war ii thanks world war ii yeah you know did some bad things specifically to the groups of people that we identify with peanut butter yeah what about hey yeah there we go all right all right back back back to the opinions first we got m jade mcd fruit plus cheese is a far more delicious pear than meat plus cheese this is loaded let’s analyze the two terms here we got meat animal flesh cheese fermented titty milk um i think that uh all milk comes from titties except almond milk that’s oh my goodness did we do have we ever done is all should almond milk be called milk we should we should do that we will anyways um i think meat plus cheese is maybe a bit overrated okay this this is this is sending me charcuterie vibes yeah and you know let me tell you since i’ve moved in and i’ve been like on my own i make a mean cheese board but do you do you eat the meats and cheeses together no because i have a kosher house oh when i go out thou shall not boil the calf in my mother’s milk you best believe that i’m going to town on some prosciutto on whatever else but do you enjoy the cheese with the prosciutto to use it do they go part and parcel i do but recently the more that i enjoy fruit and cheese like a pear an apple a grape paired with a proper cheese it’s like phenomenal i don’t know gosh i don’t know i i love i had a nice fruit salad out at brunch that had like a whipped ricotta on it you had a fruit salad yeah i love fresh fruit dude i eat a lot of fresh fruit that’s the thing that i really enjoy um yeah got big into fruit during quarantine good for you really delivery i could just eat bushels of grapes also whole foods why is grape’s so expensive you why are you buying your grease from home i shouldn’t have it was just it was like on the way back from like i was buying a shirt at the mall and there’s a whole foods on the way back and we’re like oh let’s do it never do your whole week’s grocery shopping no no my god no no no no you gotta get your berries from ralph’s or pavilions and then you’re gonna get the jar stuff the good jarred stuff you get from whole foods yeah yeah that makes sense make sense uh anyways what i’m saying is i i kind of love all of these things separately i don’t know that i need cheese to touch anything like i love a cheese steak cheeseburger but that’s really only american cheese i don’t get anything i don’t get anything out of any other cheese on a cheeseburger other than american really ditto with uh cheesesteak i the only cheese i want on it is either american or cheese whiz i don’t know if i i love a good cheese but i kind of just like it separately as its own thing or like in a salad cheese on vegetables yeah this is what’s not represented here cheese on vegetables is the best and that’s what i want like even on pizza i don’t need the meat and cheese together yeah me either i’m not the biggest like pepperoni or like chicken i love a vegetable and cheese pizza and then if it’s like a meat pizza i don’t even need cheese on it give me the tomato and the meats and the bread yeah the the idea of a meat lover’s pizza honestly makes me like low-key sick yeah it’s honestly not my favorite it’s a lot of meat it’s not my favorite especially pepperoni such a strong strong flavor i love it but i’d much rather have a veggie pizza yeah i don’t really get down you know what a nice thing though is like an apple pie with cheddar baked into the crust that’s a cool thing yeah that’s good that’s a cool i’m down with that yeah yeah yeah okay the josh foster says my opinion is that if i had to choose only one food it would be chicken yeah agreed i have i have the same opinion um my one food frick it would be pasta yeah i guess like if you had to live off of one food for the rest of your life well probably beans beans are probably the best actual answer as far as like sustaining life i think beans complete protein i mean carbs my want is pasta my need is beans yeah yeah i feel that uh the thing with chicken though if i had to choose one meat for the rest of my life it would be bone-in skin on chicken thigh mine would be probably tuna like canned no any anything i guess you could can your own tuna i couldn’t do any kind of sometimes i eat chicken thighs though and i’m just like there’s no better meat i like chicken thigh too what a treat dude and you almost can’t overcook them yeah i like chicken breast and chicken thigh chicken breast is good but you gotta there’s like a five degree temp range where your chicken breast is either good or crappy i made a mean gochujang chicken the other day yeah with chicken breast yes did you burn it no i don’t know i don’t i mean i marinated it which you don’t believe in too i i need to issue a retraction i do believe in marination um i just i was in a mood when i said that earlier um but no i ate man brining chicken breast that’s a good time all right we got at blue cat silver warm cake is better than cold cake melty frosting be damned live a little bit i once tried to pour ganache over a hot cake and i ended up with like a gallon of ganache just on my kitchen floor and i was trying to scoop it back up like no my son man um warm cake versus yeah i think i’d agree with that this reminds me of my friend yvonne seapost shout out to ivan sipos she was the so i worked at a chocolate store when i was 19 years old i was young i was and i was impressionable she would just eat like a monster i loved her she would just she would warm up chocolate cake and then she would pour strauss creamery cream on the cake yes and the warm cake we know cake the warm chocolate cake would absorb the cream and she would be like eat this and i would be like oh my god this is one of the best food experiences i’ve ever had dude yeah no i agree i do the same thing i literally microwave cake and i put milk on it i love warm cake but again the melty frosting yeah you know yeah if i could have both like warm cake maybe you need the frosting on the side yeah like i have like a nice room like a chip and dip yeah um i’ve started eating uh microwave uh mug cakes cause that’s a nice little treat you just mix are they individual but yeah yeah they’re little they’re not mine they’re julia’s but you know it’s one of those things like she’ll keep in the house like she keeps little pirouette cookies in the house yeah you know the like thin pastry tubes the chocolate in the middle of course uh fantastic and she got a little microwave mug if she could be a if if julia was any cookie she would be a purely oh she’s such a pirouette she is she is she’s a step below milano right at the pirouette cookie but anyways these little mug cakes they’re a delight because i mean one a microwave it’s just a steam-powered cooking machine yeah so it steams the cake it stays moist and it’s just a hot steaming little three bites of cake at the end of the night yum and we split one and uh what a treat you put a little ready whip on it and it melts into it delicious that’s a delight and i kind of hate cakes that are taken straight out of like the icebox like it’s been a weird trend at la restaurants where fancy restaurants would be like our retro icebox cake and it’s just like a cold piece of cake and everything’s just hard in it and i’m like i don’t want it ellie needs to like revamp a lot of its dessert figure it out figure out your desserts hire pastry chefs they do good work yeah pastry chefs are very talented like give them their flowers that’s what i’m saying okay ooh at kenzie underscore arty grilled cheese with bacon bits in it is god food yes correct mundo because the bacon bits slightly melt and render with the melted cheese and then bacon bits over bacon strips because you get bacon in every bite it’s basically a bacon infused cheese making it still a grilled cheese and not a melt i agree dip it in ranch you win i don’t like bacon in my grilled cheese no what the hell it’s not from nicole why have you forsaken me it’s not for me what are you god it’s not it’s not my thing um i do love a good a good basil pesto grilled cheese yeah that’s that’s right that’s my place bacon bacon grilled cheese and then you open it up and you put a cold slice of tomato in there and i don’t know if that’s a grilled cheese at that point we’re getting another territory but that’s a great sandwich in my opinion it doesn’t do it for me i can’t i can’t i can understand bacon is a really powerful flavor yeah sean patrick little says dr pepper and southern comfort is better than rum and coke i think you might be right i like southern comfort a lot why do okay um who doesn’t like southern comfort the only time i had southern comfort was when let’s imagine i was of legal drinking age because i sure i was so you were 21 of course um and it was outside like a ucla tailgate game and it was just like a hundred degrees and southern comfort it was the southern comfort was probably 100 degrees it was in the trunk and we’re drinking it straight out of the bottle and putting it in one of those like beer drinking helmets straight southern comfort and so i only have bad associations with it also southern comfort technically is not a whiskey it is technically a whiskey flavored vodka yeah i’m down great you you don’t have dr pepper i don’t love is an alcohol mixer either because there’s not enough acid in it okay coke has more acid in it and i think rum and coke probably works better than whiskey coke as well i don’t like rum and coke either right i don’t like rum and coke i like jack coconut jack and coke is that what it’s called yeah jack like whiskey got a little bit more bite a little bit more spice to it but i think rum you get that sweeter palette on it i haven’t been to a bar in a long time i don’t remember what drinks are called well i mean i would never get like a rum and coke at a bar i always you know gin and tonic is my if it’s a bar like a party bar where you’re supposed to get you know a drink like that and you’re not supposed to order an actual cocktail i don’t think i’ve ever just had like rum and something really yeah i think in my mind i’m just like rum is way too sweet oh interesting no i think rum coke with a splash of lime called a cuba libre is like a pretty good drink um and then dark and stormy rum little rum and ginger beer i’ve had a dark in store made it’s nice dr pepper’s a mixer i i don’t i don’t mess with it all right at jeff mccourtney spindrift is the ultimate seltzer by a mile yes sir agreed spindrift is it’s everything i want it is just a ton of citrus juice it’s so sparkly water i know and i can handle so much acid that’s why my enamel is terrible oh josh it’s so acidic sometimes it’s too acidic for me no you gotta lean into it you gotta get the heartburn i like lacroix i love spin drift if it’s there i’ll drink it i love spin drift i had a weird moment the other day where i let a lacroix kind of sit on my desk for like 20 minutes and then i took a sip of it and it was kind of flat kind of warm and it just reminded me of drinking like a flat warm beer at a party and it made me almost gag oh i like almost gagged on a lacroix the other day it was a really weird experience there’s no okay the best the best like seltzer water whatever is the san pellegrino limoncello or the blood yeah but that’s just soda that’s what i like the sugar and it’s delicious i like it the most it’s candy drink uh no topo chico is the best i don’t care for toast you don’t care for dude i thought i knew you it’s okay you don’t know nothing you only know what i show busiest you only know what i show we’re all wearing a mask halloween’s just the day where we decided to show it to others i also like perrier and pellegrino i love berry is good my mother-in-law always has a bottle of pellegrino waiting for me probably she knows it’s not bubble i want sharper bubbles she knows i love the fizzy bubbler the gasos what is it i think it’s an armenian brand oh yeah the peach one yeah yeah yeah i’ve had it at mini kebab it’s really good uh yo armenian tarragon soda oh that’s where it’s at that’s good i don’t know if we’re talking about the best seltzer anymore but armenian tarragon soda is a friggin delight you want to know why it’s so good cause after you eat something like heavy or meaty or like or like you know just heavy that tarragon soda cuts through all of that you let out a loud belch and you can go on about your day oh that’s why it’s the best it’s like the way uh tamarindo jaritos cuts through the tacos soda pairings mmm give me that we should do that we should have an episode where we eat the food and then the best complimentary soda to go orangina with jambon bur yo what’s that there’s i love original i love orangina it’s the pulp it’s the pulp it’s a pulpy soda we just love pulp don’t worry but i don’t love orange juice with pulp i love pulpless orange juice but i love the pulp in orangina uh there’s there’s there’s an italian soda it’s like a little bit bitter and i’m not gonna remember the freaking name of it it’s not limonata it’s not lemonade no it’s like a dark soda that’s got we’ve featured it on gm we have it is a freaking delight though it’s got one of those like quinine one of those weird roots that they dug up in the 1800s delicious that soda would be really good with like i don’t know i chased some pizza with that it’s just like a darker danker cola really good oh here’s a good one mutually assured distraction great name i used to eat peanut butter and american cheese sandwiches you sure did um i i understand why you would like this you know what i mean i don’t like it but i know why you would like it um no i i don’t love this i’ve had it before um i’ve made it i’ve tried it grilled i’ve tried it plain it’s it’s not my thing i think it’s because the texture of american cheese and peanut butter are too similar so similar that said one of my favorite sandwiches i think you know where i’m going with this peanut butter and this has to be crunchy for whatever reason this has to be crunchy peanut butter with bananas and mayonnaise boom banana mayonnaise peanut butter my high school girlfriend freaking disgusting whose parents were from kentucky from louisville kentucky and they would eat banana mayonnaise peanut butter sandwiches that sounds dude it’s really good i didn’t think it’d be good but it’s the salty sweet because like peanut butter people think of it as sweet and there is sugar added to american peanut butter but it’s really not that much there’s a lot more salt in peanut butter than and sugar i think that’s why it works with jelly so well uh but that said you get the extra salty and a little bit of acid from the mayonnaise countering the sweet of the banana i understand why people would be disgusted by it and bananas covered in mayonnaise bananas um but it is truly one of life’s delights like i don’t eat it very often uh but every time i do i’m just like man this is a good food you start to you start to like rethink your life decisions when you’re like spreading mayonnaise on the final piece of bread about to put it down because you’re like this doesn’t seem right yeah but then it gets in your mouth and that’s that’s good stuff all right we got here we go aaron underscore grainy when i’m sad i melt chocolate and peanut butter in the microwave and eat it with a spoon it’s amazing erin white said you want to talk about it i mean we all get sad sometimes when i’m sad you know what’s the best thing to do when you’re sad cry yeah let it out i guess i don’t let it out i haven’t cried in like uh over a decade oh my god do you want to cry to get in there i don’t think so no no no no no maggie screw the allergy test me and josh are going to sit in a room and cry together try and make me cry i’m not going to make you cry you’re going to cry in your own voice what’s your sad food other than crying what’s your tuesday what do you mean you don’t have a set i don’t have a sad food of course everyone has their sad food i haven’t thought about you talk about eating prosciutto out of the fridge oh that’s it that’s it that’s it that’s the one that’s the one food yeah yeah no mine’s mine’s uh peanut butter and jelly truly it is my savvy it’s
