She’s a part of season two of Poker Face, premiering May 8th on Peacock, and she’s everything on SNL. It’s Ego Nwodim. Oh my gosh. Thank you. Yes. Give us one of these. Thank you. Wakanda Forever? One of these, the double. I thought that’s what that was. It could be. I said of course. Surely yes. Why not? Well, we usually do the, you know. I know. We have a thing. We like the fist bump. But you’re a fist, you, we, you’re a fist bumper. Bump first. So we were gonna do the fist bump. Fist Bump version. Yeah. Fist bump. Fist bump. Okay. Okay. So you’re, now that we got that out of the way. You’re from Baltimore. I am. You split time between LA and New York? Yes. So how would you rank the food scenes in each one of those cities? Okay. Oh. I, this is tough because I think they are all great food cities. I wanna start by saying that outright. Okay? Okay. All right. All right. You sound like you’re about to do something chaotic. Boutta do some damage. Let’s hear it for me. I’m gonna say. And I love my hometown. I love everywhere I live. Okay. Okay. Okay. I’m a politician in this way. Okay. Let him have it. So I’m going to say Best Food, Los Angeles. Oh! Yeah. I’m gonna say Best Food, Los Angeles. Number two. Oh, I’m gonna say Baltimore. Oh my gosh. I’m gonna say Baltimore. New York’s number three. I love you New York. I love you, New York. I don’t know if you can go back, but I don’t think I can. I have to move in. I live here now. That’s right. In the studio. Before you judge her for her opinions. Let’s, let’s really go all the way. Okay. And make her taste stuff that’s from here. Okay. It’s time for Naked Food. Naked Ego Nwodim Edition. Naked! Again, it’s the food that’s naked. If you wanna see people naked on the internet, there’s literally no way to do that. I know a website. Mm-hmm. A few. I know a couple websites. A few not banned yet, in California. Okay. Boys and girl, throughout today’s game, Ago’s favorite foods will be served at low, mid, and fancy price levels. Each round, you’ll all pick your favorite, and by the end we’ll find out how expensive your taste buds are and up first, this is shrimp scampy. This is shrimp scampy. Ooh. Good choice. Let’s start over here. You wanna start? You know what? You grab your, okay. Should I grab from there? No. Yeah, grab from there. All right, great. And I’m gonna do the same thing. Yeah. We’re, we’re all just going in here. These are some big shrimp. That’s a big old shrimp. Do you think it was fed hormones? I think this shrimp is on steroids. I don’t want to be thinking about that. I, well, I think about those things. We’re gonna find out a little bit. Yeah. You don’t want it too big. Oh no. Should I– I’m just grabbing this. Act like I don’t have an opinion right now? No, you can. Okay. I do wish. It’s all independent. I wish they, hold on, let me get a piece of this steroid shrimp. I think it’s good. I mean it’s pretty good. I mean, we’re not in Baltimore or anything, but it’s pretty good. Yeah. The best Italian food. Baltimore. Yeah. I’m not like, I’m not blown away. I will say there is sauce. On the pasta, unlike this one. That one. What happened here? Absolutely. It looks like it’s really gonna disappoint. They forgot to scampy this. Yeah. It’s, it’s, it looks very watered down. Yeah. Oh, sorry. We lost her. What was that? Did you just get a shrimp in the lap? Got a shrimp in the lap. Um, I mean, do we really have to– Actually, oh, It tastes, it tastes better. Mm-hmm. Than it looks. Well, I can’t get, I can’t get, sorry. Come on. I’m sorry, Ago. I’m sorry. On my red blouse. I’m sorry. Yeah. Link, here. They made the, made the noodles taste like they’re seasoning on them when there isn’t. My guess is chicken broth. They must have just poked it in. I was Italy once and there’s this restaurant, De Adolfo actually shouldn’t say this, nevermind. Take it back. Because, because, because it’s this an amazing restaurant in, um, Positano. I went too many times in a row on this particular vacation, and one day I was like, oh my gosh, this linguini a la mara is, um, it’s, it’s chicken broth. It’s chicken broth and I’m disappointed. Oh, that I could just taste that. It was chicken broth. Right. But you went multiple ties to find that out. If it works, it works. That’s true. Exactly. I’m not mad at that. Okay. It does sound like you’ve got pretty highfalutin tastes. I do. Is that your prediction for how this is gonna turn out? I do predict that. I’m gonna pick, well, I’m just the most, it’s fine. A lot past over here. Super, super saucy. This is saucy. We got a fettuccine situation happening. Mm-hmm. That was like a. I’m just dripping. Um, pasta off camera over here. Very garlicy. Very garlicy, very sauce dependent, which feels also like a cop out. I’m just gonna say. Now, are there tomatoes on that first one? Mm-hmm. Uh, I don’t really need to understand. Hmm. What’s happening. I’m not. Hard to say. I know which one my favorite is. Hold on. We said it. It’s not, it’s not as bad as we thought it would be. Mm-hmm. But it’s not as good as, okay. I think it needs to be to eat more of it. Okay. You ready to choose your favorite? Yes. Mm-hmm. In 3, 2, 1. Ha. Whoa. Oh, look at this. What? Look at this. You went with that one. It’s nice. The chicken broth is nice. Chicken broth. Okay. This is giving Olive Garden no shade. Link. Cut that. You chose our mid price point Tradita daily for 24.50. Ago, you chose our Low price point. Oh, she’s broke. She’s a broke girl. From Fratelli’s for 17. 75. Oh yes. Which means that Rhett, you have chosen our fancy dish from Palermo for 31.65 and you know that we like to celebrate fancy around here. Uh, so I’d like to introduce the fancy pants croissants. Oh, foncy pants croissants! It’s just one croissant? It’s a pillow. Oh, oh, oh, oh. So soft. And nothing for the broke girl. Okay. No, no. You gotta choose something fancy to get that you want. No, you want it? I’m so sad I missed out on that. These are Jamaican beef patties. These are Jamaican beef patties. Okay. So what’s your relationship with this, Ago? That is the first time we’ve had these. I used to have these growing up all the time. Sundays. Sundays after church. We get these beef patties. Okay. Oh yeah. I, I’m breaking it ’cause I wanna show people what we’re working with here. Hmm mm-hmm. It’s nice. And nice beef. Mm-hmm. What are you looking for in one of these? Okay. Flaky crust. Mm-hmm. Flaky. Okay. Um, check. Well-seasoned interior. Check. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah. I what I mean, meat is good. Not, not necessarily spicy, but a little. Mm-hmm. Spice. Woo. That’s good. Okay. I don’t have enough of this in my life. I gotta, I gotta get a place. You gotta get a place. So one of these three? Mm-hmm. Yeah. It’s gonna, it, it’s gonna see me see in terms of shape. Mm-hmm. You like the flat? Oh my gosh, I like the flat. Okay. I was troubled by the sight of the. Okay. The round. Yeah. This is more like a, a strudel. Mm-hmm. Let’s see. Let’s see what we got in here. Mm-hmm. Now that’s a lot flakier. This is boring. I’m not mad at it, but. You know, we actually have something in common. The three of us. What’s up? We have technical college degrees that we do not use. Oh my goodness. You biology, US engineering. Wow. How often do you do biology these days? Never. And should anyone try to do biology with me? I, I shudder. What, what did you, what were you think you thinking when you, when you did that? What’s that? What’s that? I think there might be people who wanna do biology with you. Um, wanna be, there probably are people who wanna do biology with me or anatomy, right? Uhhuh. Cut that. I’m kidding. Keep that in. What were you thinking when you started majoring in biology? I thought we, when, when you were gonna say, when I said that, oh, um, sex. I was thinking about sex. Can I say, what did you think? What were you thinking when you said that? Sex. Um, okay. When I, I majored in biology, I was thinking I’m Nigerian American and my family wanted me to be a doctor. Oh, and you had Yeah. Blah, blah, boring, blah, blah, blah. Okay, got it. Got it. Got it. Mm-hmm. So it wasn’t really a self-propelled thing, it was a parent propelled thing. Mm-hmm. That’s, that’s true of us as well. Understand that. Mm-hmm. Rhett was more a pipe engineer. I was more of a conveyor belt engineer. Mm-hmm. You’re only making it sound more sexual now. It is a pipe engineer. Yeah. I literally laid pipe for living. Oh my gosh. Oh my. I’m blushing. Yeah, I’m sorry. Okay. I have a strong opinion about this. I have a strong preference for this. Okay. One is so much better to me. In 3, 2, 1. Habam! Whoa. Really? Yeah. I just. I, that one tasted the best to me though. I think that’s, the meat is pretty good in this one. I will say that the meat looks quality in that one. I have to say I didn’t like the meat in this one. There was something in it that I didn’t love. We should take the meat out of that one that was decent in this and put it in this, because the crush on this was so great. Yes. This was a, this was a little stale. I thought it was gonna be a favorite. Mm-hmm. I, I didn’t, I did it. But the meat in that one looks like fresh. Yep. And the meat in this one looks scary. But we had to pick, right? Yeah, we did. So we had no choice. We didn’t have a choice. Okay. Well Rhett and Ago have chosen the low price point actually. Oh really? Y’all are? She stayed broke. Hey. But some things don’t need to be expensive to be good. I mean, I think I’m five. These are from Costco. That’s true. Costco can don’t. 1.42 per patty. They do it right. Um, they’re not supposed and link. You’ve chosen our fancy option from Bridgetown Roti for $8, which means bring them on out. Another croissant dance. Oh, okay. Wow. It’s a, this is a first. That’s biology. Mm-hmm. Oh, wow. Wow. Okay. I need to keep losing. And then the last, last one is our mid price point option from sat down Jamaican grill for $4. That’s troubling ’cause I like sat down Jamaican grill and I don’t, nevermind. This is short rib. Okay. This is short rib. Okay. Nothing but. Nothing but no sides. Straight. Yeah. Totally naked. Yes. Naked. Naked. Short rib. Now you gotta be able to cut short rib with a fork and any section just fall apart. Oh god. Oh god. Okay. I’m gonna flip it right off. Lisa, from Temecula. That was kind of sturdy piece of meat. Okay. And that’s a good one. Mm-hmm. I thought it might be too dry, but. And it did look that way. But it’s some nice little flavor. Okay. Okay. Now this is, this is even shred here. Falling apart for us. Oh, well. Okay. They got some more seasoning on this. Wow. Mm-hmm. We’re going up a notch. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Hmm. That one tastes like, he’s got like a, like a wine marinade on it. Yeah. Is there alcohol in that? Is it a alcoholic short rib? Did they try too much with this one? Oh, are they not letting the meat sing? Sometimes I feel like people think meat’s really singing. I don’t find it to be vocal. Oh really? You, you like it to have stuff? You think you need to drown it out a little bit? I think you need to drown it out. Okay, so you like sauce on your barbecue? I do. But here’s the thing. I don’t like things that are sauce dependent. Does this make sense? When I, I think that is, I think sauce should be optional. Does that make sense? Well, sometimes I become sauce dependent. Well, you’re talking outta both sides of your mouth. It’s still your mouth. I was of my As. Oh my butt. Butt. Cut it out. What you gonna do over here, guys? This looks like, um, burnt ends almost. Okay, let’s see. That’s good too, though. Oh my God. I wanna take the whole piece. Well, it’s not bad. Well, I’m, I’m really torn here ’cause they’re all very specifically different. One, one was my favorite. That’s the prompt. Yep. None of these are bad. None of them are bad. And I just tasted all three again. Mm-hmm. And I’m still confused. Did. Okay. You ready to choose your favorite? I know what mine is. You guys move fast. Why? We do this a lot. I mean, we’ll send it in a doggy bag. Two. No, no, no. That’s what you’re saying. One. Way over here again, guys. Oh really? No, we’re on the same page. Yeah, we’re on the same page. This better not be the cheapest. They’re trying too hard. No, I can tell it’s not the cheapest. Rhett and Ago. I think this is the cheapest. You have chosen our mid price point option from Mess Hall for $38. Link again. You’ve chosen our fancy option from Larson Steakhouse for $47. Here’s the strip tease. Come on. I think it’s worth it. Come on. Yes. Wi wi. Bau bau. Yes. Oh, shake the not touching. Ooh. Hey, thank you for your service. And no one chose the low price point option this round, which was from home for 27.95. It wasn’t bad though. Home wasn’t no home. Not mad at home. They did it. This is red velvet cake. [All]: This, this is red velvet cake. Good choice. This is one of my favorite cakes. It’s the cake, the most superior cake. I will– The people who love red velvet. Really love red velvet. Mm-hmm. And are you, are you scared of it? You don’t, you don’t like it? Well, it’s just, I mean, it’s cake. He doesn’t like cake. But see, I’m a big cake head, big cake head. I like cake. Cake versus this pie. I see. I’m like, you guys could keep all your pies. I’m, I don’t want your pie. I mean, maybe pumpkin fine, whatever, but I’m never, I’m not into that. We’ll let you have that. What I’ll say take you to the point, okay? Mm-hmm. I will say that. The most expensive red velvet cake is often not the best. Okay. Ooh, see? Hmm. Ooh, that’s some good icing. Mm-hmm. I think that one’s great. I think this one is from Porto’s. Tell us about your podcast because. Mm-hmm. You know, I have a podcast with my dad. Really? And you have a podcast with other people’s dads. Exactly. Um. Mm-hmm. Because I don’t have a dad. A dad. Yeah. That’s funny. You know what? That’s fine. I, I never. Keep that, keep that in. I never, I never live with my dad. Okay. And me either. Not yours or mine. Okay. So I have other people come on my podcast, talk to me about their relationships with their dads, because I kind of think everyone has daddy issues. Everybody. Yes. Mm-hmm. And, um. They talk about their relationship with their dad, and then I find out what kind of parent, oh, this is already not a favorite. Um, I find out what kind. It’s falling apart. Yeah, it’s falling apart. Mm-hmm. I knew it. Mm-hmm. Oh, it’s dry. Mm, that’s dry. Mm, that’s dry. And the icing is just bland. What in the world? Dang, that’s dry. Oh my God. But go. But go on. You, you talk to him. It also tastes bad. Very bad. You get the daddying that you missed. This might be expensive. Okay. I, well, not really, not really. I, my 50 minute podcast won’t solve all my issues, but, but I do get to hear from them and then they give me a piece of advice that a dad presumably would, could give me. Um, sometimes it’s meaningful advice, sometimes it’s silly. The only time that my dad actually gave me advice intentionally was when he said, son, to make a marriage work. You both have, you, it’s not 50 50. Was your dad, Kermit? Southern Kermit. Yeah. You know what kind of, I think this is pretty accurate how he talks. So if you think that that’s Kermit, then yes. Mm-hmm. Yes, that would be correct. That’s Kermit. That’s giving Kermit. You gotta give a hundred percent both of you. That’s, and you’re supposed to be two holes. I’ve never been married. But I heard you’re supposed to be two holes. Oh wait. He’s been married at least four times, right? Yeah. He really knows his stuff. Yep. He lives in Myrtle Beach. You want to have him on your show? Of course. I would love to. At some point. You should do that. I should have him on the show. He lives in Myrtle Beach. To be my dad. For the dad, you gotta go to Myrle Beach. Yeah, I’m gonna say, I just also, I’ve said this already, but based on that Rose petal atop the red velvet, I think it is from Porto’s, but I haven’t been to Porto’s in a long time. That is the best. So good. Would, would you like to say it with a flag? I would love to say it with a flag. Okay. Cut out the thing that I said where– Note to the editor. Also, we didn’t say the name of your podcast. Oh my God. We’re about to do flags, guys. But the name of my podcast is, thanks Dad. You can listen wherever you get your podcast. Please do. I’m begging you and the, the, the, the stuff is red, if that makes sense. The graphics from is the stuff is red. Hey, go on the internet, find the red stuff, the red’s. And I, I, my, my dad’s podcast with me is Dispatches for Myrtle Beach. And there’s no red at all. It’s, there’s no red. What color? What color is the stuff’s? Red, blue, and yellow. And that’s what is the stuff? Okay, good. One. One. You said one because I said, well, the three and the two came later. He almost stabbed me. Help. Help. Not even. There’s no contest. This is. Exquisite compared to those two. Done deal. Okay. Done deal. I will say you have all chosen our low price point option for 32.75 for the whole cake. Um. It is from Porto’s. Yeah. And we have a special loophole here that everyone knows that we’ve done a million times before, which is if you don’t land on the fancy dish but you guess a dish is Porto’s and it is, you still get a dance. Great news. Yeah, right. Yeah. I forgot it. Im happy today. I forgot about it. I was playing hard to get. Pet, come here, papa. I was playing hard to get. I won’t do anything weird to you. No, please. Well, I’m disappointed. I was playing a game. Do something weird to her. Do something weird. Me. I want it. Yay. Oh, hey, Trevor. Too much. Too much. Too much. Trevor. Too much. That was Rhett’s stuff. You went straight for choking. Yeah. I’m not gonna do anything to you. I choke, I’ll choke. It was gentle. It was a gentle choke. The dry cake in the middle is our mid price point option from original Martino’s Bakery for $56. And then finally the fancy option from Sweet Lady Jane for 85. And it shows. Not bad, but Porto’s I think is. Mm-hmm. Oh, is the story today and shoulders and you having really cheap tastes. I have cheap taste apparently. For one round. But I didn’t, we weren’t, but we didn’t go proper cheap here today. No, I don’t, no mean Porto’s is, I– When I gonna Porto’s, I’m like, this is pretty fancy. It’s, well, you know, because it’s a beautiful bakery. Yeah. But their prices are so reasonable and I think that’s why their lines are so long. Uh, Uhhuh. Yeah. And I love Porto’s. I generally think that expensive red velvet cake is just not good. Usually I do. I mean, we proved that. Yeah, I think that’s true. Yeah. And we had a lot of fun. You made some really good choices. So I don’t have to eat. Lunch or dinner today, I don’t think. Oh good. That’s right.
