Welcome back to Mythical Kitchen, where the two buffest, handsomest food TV show hosts are just chilling and cooking and eating. You recognize him as an A-list movie star. You recognize him from hit show Last Meals. And you recognize him as the host of 100 Cooks on Food Network, Terry Cruz. Welcome to the show. >> What's up, Josh? Good to be here, man. >> Wait, wait. I was That's how we do it. That's how we [laughter] >> It's good to be here, man. It's so good to have you back, man, and to have you back now as a food media industry peer. >> First of all, I write down my goals, okay? I write down what it is I want and I wrote down years ago and kept writing down how I I wanted to be involved with food [music] content. And it's wild cuz even my assistant over there, Hannah, she and I started doing things like meeting with chefs to different people. There was a guy out of Burbank, Lou the French on the [music] block where we did some videos with of his stuff. Danielle, who's the owner of Pet Sana, we did a back thing with him. I was like, I want to do more food [music] stuff. And then it kind of disappeared cuz you get busy and get going and you couldn't follow up. >> Dude, all of a sudden I'm I keep I kept writing this in my goal list [music] though. And then I get a call from my agent. He's like, "Dude, Food Network [music] is doing the biggest food competition, homecooked competition ever in their history. $250,000. They want you to host it." Had I not wrote that stuff down, I would have missed it. Like, you know what I mean? Cuz you would have been like, "Man, food, I don't know." But I knew by knowing what I wanted, I saw it when it came. Yeah. >> And I'm telling you, man, I this was destiny for me. And again, I love my time on Last Meals, let me tell you. Thank you, man. >> And just talking over food, it immediately makes you comfortable. It makes you feel good. And that's the kind of show I want to be on. And 100 Cooks is that, which is awesome. >> Yeah. Truly, man. I mean, I knew you were a real one when it came to food because on your last meals, you were teaching me about dishes that I'd never seen before. The zucchini the zucchini fla. >> Yes. >> That was crazy, man. >> That nuts. I know. You know, >> today we're doing something a little bit different than last meals. Today I am going to look at five of your most iconic characters throughout your career and I'm going to cook a completely original dish based on those characters. [laughter] You ready to get to it? >> Okay. I got I got >> This is the first time we This is the first time we've done this. So this is going to be [laughter] You're learning along with me. >> I'm the first. >> You're the first one. >> Oh boy. Okay. [music] >> I'm going to read you. And for the lady perhaps a salad. >> Perhaps not. I'll have the steak smothered in onions, a rack of ribs, pasta with extra garlic, French fries with lots of vinegar, and a side of onion rings with lots and lots of sauerkraut. >> Sauerkraut. [laughter] >> And that is from >> White Chicks. >> That is from White Chicks. That is Marlin Wayne's order. So, today we are making a single dish inspired by all that. I will tell you exactly what we have for the pasta with extra garlic and the rack of ribs. We actually have a pork rib ragu. So, we stripped the meat off a bunch of pork ribs, made it into a ragu, and then we tossed it with pasta with extra garlic. We're going to try and combine all this on one plate because to me, that whole dish, [laughter] that whole scene made me so damn hungry. And also, to me, it's like really one of the best scenes that exemplifies food being used as a comedic prop. Oh, >> cuz not only Marlin eating that whole thing, Terry, you with the oysters burned into my brain in a way that I will never be able to forget. What do you remember about shooting that scene? >> Okay. The mood on the set was just free. Like whatever we wanted to do and there was there was a lot of things that I put into the character that no one knew. The fact that I have a very very big tongue was a surprise to everybody. You didn't break out the big tongue until >> No one knew, right? No one. >> When did you know that you had a big pop? >> Well, I mean, since, you know, when I learned how to peck pop, I was like 14, no dates. I'm sitting [laughter] in the mirror and I'm looking like I'm weird, you know? And then I realized I could spread out my tongue like, [laughter] and I I'm in the mirror and I'm going, "Wow, I can do this." [laughter] And let me tell you, when I had the oyster [music] and I had no idea what I was going to do, I did it right then and there. And I said, "Excuse me, um, tongue's kind of big." And I'm licking the ice and everybody. And this is, you got to understand, everyone behind the camera was like, "Oh my god." You could feel this energy shift. This is the thing. We were ad living and then they just kept adding around. They put the toenail into the water cuz he had just did that and all the stuff that I brought. >> It was so fun. The way brothers are just geniuses. I like to call them the Jacksons of comedy. Um, no more evident than this weekend when Scary Movie 6 just, you know, broke records and the whole thing. Comedy is back in a big big way. But in a lot of ways, it never left because White Chicks gets bigger and bigger every year. Every year there's a new kid that turns 13 years old and they go, "Mom, can we watch White Chicks?" [laughter] >> It's infinitely quotable and it's for so many dialed in comedic reasons. We had Marlin on the show since then and he and I were chatting about that and uh he was talking to me about the Rotten Tomatoes scores for all of his movies. He's like, "We're at 12%, 23%, 31, and these are some of the funniest comedies of all time ever." And like it just never quite adds up. Do you look at what critics say about your movies, about your work? >> Not at all. Not at all. I mean, you have to put your whole heart into it because once you judge it, it's it gets ruined. >> You can't judge your art while you're doing it. You see what I mean? You got to let it go. And that's why I didn't expect it to be such a big hit. I was like, I'm laughing. I love this. Little did I know it would be such an iconic thing. I mean, it it's bigger every year. And um listen, my job is to stay in shape for White Chicks, too. That's my job. >> That's all I want to do. You know what I mean? When Listen, >> you got a potential date when it's coming. >> No, I it's not up to me. It's only up to the to the weigh-ins. But my job is to just just be ready. Be ready when they call. when they want to get it done, when they hand me a script, I am all in 100%. I love those guys. >> We have the official White Chicks 2 petition uh in the description of the video. Go ahead and sign it, >> please. Please, >> Terry. Here we have the official White Chick Steakhouse order. This is a pork rib ragu with extra garlic in the pasta. A medium rare ribeye smothered in onions. And then for the onion rings, we've actually turned potatoes into onion rings. We've tempered potatoes. >> Hold on. You made onion rings out of potato. I'm going to try that. >> Hold up. >> Yes. So, we actually took onions and we punched them with uh round cutters and then we steamed them and then we tempured fried them, topped them uh on the steak as if it were like, you know, the onion ring top steak. How do they taste? I haven't had these yet. >> You guys are masters. This is incredible. >> Like onion ring tastes like a French fry. >> Yeah, it does. >> Hey, man. >> What are you doing? >> Have you learned any cooking tips from 100 Cooks? >> Absolutely. First of all, I learned what I was doing wrong. You know what I mean? Um, Alex Guanelli is, you know, she's an iron chef. >> Mhm. >> She knows all the stuff. She's like, "Do you have Thai basil in here?" I'm like, "Thie B, how do you know which basil is bas? I don't know. You know what I mean? I I don't know the difference. You know what I mean? And Nick is all about technique. >> [music] >> We did a steak and he did that whole iron the the um you take the pan, you took the side, you got the garlic, you got the whole thing and you do the spoon thing where you just based it and based and b now I don't know any other way to do it. You know what I mean? I have to do it this way because this is the problem. I hate prep. Okay. Doing all the prep to me is difficult. But I realized something that my knives weren't sharp. >> Mhm. >> And he was >> That's the biggest thing with home cooks. That's the biggest because it it becomes more of a chore >> because my knife was just I was fighting with the food. >> Yeah. >> The thing about this home cook show >> is that cooking is their love language. >> Yeah. >> So you had 100 cooks who had nothing but love. It's not like a sport to them. They were shouting out instructions for the others. Yeah. >> They were helping each other. It's like, and the money, listen, $250,000 is a lot of money. >> Mhm. >> But nobody was there for the money. Everyone was there to swatch you. They were looking at you if you enjoyed it. >> There were times when cuz I didn't, you know, I didn't judge their food, but I was like, there were some things I wanted to try. So, I said, "Put it to the side." And they always came back. Did you try it? Did you eat it? What' you think? I love that. These are my tribe. These are my people. Cuz let me tell you, I don't act for the money. >> Yeah. I don't perform for the money, you know, the money will come. >> Yeah. >> You got to lead with your heart first. >> Yeah. >> And I've always learned to just lead with my heart, man. This is why I do it. And this the problem with that, the problem is you're going to get your heart broke. >> Yeah. >> That's guaranteed. >> It's a vulnerable thing. >> It hurts, but it's worth it. All the things you gain will not only replace it, it just fills your heart up even more. You know what I mean? So, I learned lead with my heart. That's the only way I know how to go. Be passionate. Go ahead. It's not a problem. >> You're certainly not short on passion. >> This is good, ma'am. [laughter] You >> ready to move on to the second course? >> Yeah, why not? Can I have one more bite? >> Terry, I'm going to need you to complete the line. I got the fries that'll cross your eyes. I got the shakes that'll make you quake. >> I got the burgers that'll I just got burgers. >> You [laughter] two just got burgers today. Cheeseburger Eddie from The Longest Yard. Listen, you had the burgers. We talked about the fries, but we never actually showed the fries in the shake in the movie. What I'm going to do today, I haven't had a McDonald's hamburger in so long. This is so nostalgic. >> I know. >> What we're going to do today, we found accomplished prison cooks have actually made recipes for fries using instant mashed potatoes you can get from the canteen. So, today we are making cheeseburger Eddie's official combo meal with the fries in the shake. >> So, these are the fries that'll cross your eyes. These are the literal pariet garage. [laughter] I don't know if they ever wrote that into the script, but this is what I was imagining. >> This is so good. And this is like prison style. Hey, we giving out all the details if you ever get caught up. If you ever go down hard, >> you know, >> you will know how to make McDonald's French fries in the pan. >> Listen, I don't know how the good they're going to taste. We're going to [laughter] figure this out, though. Man, when you were shooting that movie though, you you were a longtime NFL veteran. You were also maybe like the sixth most accomplished football player acting in that movie. Like that is such an insane cast looking back. Michael Irvin to Bill Romanowski. You even had kickboxers like Bob Sap and WWE wrestlers. Was there anyone that surprised you with how athletic they were on that set? >> Nelly. Nelly was really running that ball back in that movie. Incredible. >> But I want to tell you a little bit about how I got that job which was wild. I had already auditioned [music] for several different roles and didn't get them >> in that movie. >> In that movie, right? So, I went in and went in for a bunch of different roles and it didn't work and I just figured, man, maybe it's it's just it's not for me. Well, Adam Sandler actually went to see White Chicks. >> No way. >> And he goes, "Oh my god." And then I get a call from my agent saying, "Adam Sandler wants to talk to you." You gota understand I'm literally in a little bitty two-bedroom house up in Aladena >> and we're just trying to make it. You know, we just did White Chicks and it it just came out. So, you know, we we don't have any money. We're just trying to we're doing our thing, right? >> And they're like, Sandler wants to call you and I'm going and and with the way you do it though is that you tell everybody stay off the phone like you know and this is not cell phone world. You know, we don't call you on a landline. >> Yeah. Well, this is the thing. you we didn't couldn't afford a cell phone back >> back then it was like crazy money right >> and uh I remember the Palm trio was out and so I didn't want to and plus the service wasn't that good >> so I was like he's going to call me on my landline right so I'm like everybody stay on the phone and everybody be quiet you know so we sit there for like an hour in like meditative silence waiting for this phone to ring the phone rings [music] pick it up Adam Sandler for you I'm like oh my god like and I don't know what he's going to say. I don't know what he's like, "Hey, buddy. It's Sandman. How you doing? How you doing, Terry? It's nice to meet you." I'm go, "Oh my god, like it's really him." You hear the voice, right? >> He said, "Hey, buddy." You know, I saw this movie White Chicks and uh man, you killed it, man. You killed it. I'm laughing. I'm laughing my ass off. I love it. He says, "So, we we got a role for you, man. And uh you know, I want to I want you to play this guy named Cheeseburger Eddie." Now, I'd read it and Cheese Betti wasn't me. Cheese Beretti was 700 pounds in the script. >> Really? >> He's giant. He's a big big chubby guy. >> Yeah. >> And I went, "Oh." And all I could think of is like, "How am I going to gain 400 lb?" >> You ready to do it though? Yeah. Chandler calls. >> Dude, I'm going, "Okay, I got to play cheeseburger 80." I'm thinking, "Are they going to do a fat suit? What they going to do?" I'm going, "How can we do this?" Right? He says, "No, no, no. We're going to rewrite it, man. We re we're going to rewrite it." He said, "In fact, it's funnier that you're this big buff superstar got these cheeseburgers in your pants." He said, "It's perfect." He said, "You're going to be muscular." And I went, "Oh my god, this is so good." And then we get on the set and we are already I couldn't believe it. I'm on the set, there's wrestlers, there's comedians. I mean, you're talking about the highest highs, man. Everybody, right? And and Santa's like, "Dary, Derry, come here. I got to tell you something. Just some we got some big news. Big news." >> He's like, "We got actual McDonald's." [music] >> Cuz before it was just going to be cheeseburgers, right? >> Yeah. >> He said, "McDonald's is doing a deal. We're going to get actual >> No way. >> Quarter pounders cheeseburgers all from McDonald's." >> I [laughter] went, "Are you kidding me? I'm pulling actual McDonald's McDoubles out of my pants." That changed everything, you know, because it was Sandler with the big and it was a summer movie like >> came out in June. >> The big sports blockbusters like that. >> The day of the premiere, it was also amazing. Everybody hates Chris had just got picked up from the W from UPM. >> Yeah. and we were in New York and we were at Radio City Music Hall and announced the announcement that Chris Rock show had been picked up. Then I jumped on a private jet with Chris Rock from New York to LA to do the premiere of The Longest Yard. That was the same day. >> Your life changed in the blink of an eye. I mean from that like one two-year period. >> Dude, you have to understand [clears throat] I get emotional thinking about it, man. Like I go from, like I said, a two-bedroom, you're not making any money, you're just scraping by, >> and all of a sudden you are on a jet with the the number one comedian in the world headed to the biggest premiere in the world. >> Yeah. >> Coming off a hit show that's just got launched on the network. And you're like, is this happening? I have a TV show and a big movie all and then the same day. Like even right now as I'm speaking on it, I went, "What a day." >> I don't know if you know this, but I'm cooking for Terry Cruz right now. So, it's also hitting me simultaneously. You know what I mean? Like, that's kind of the beauty of of all this, you know? >> You see what I mean? And my life has never been the same ever. >> Hey, man. Now you get to eat cheeseburgers with me. I got Okay, we got we got one more. >> We got to get the milkshakes out. >> Just a little shakes out quick. >> We going Look at that. >> I tell you what you do. You take the ice and then you put rock salt in the ice. You take some milk and you mix it with a bunch of Swiss Miss cocoa packets. >> What? >> And then you have to take this and you empty it INTO THE GLASS. >> NO. >> THIS is the official prison milkshake. We tried our best. You might have to massage it up [laughter] a little bit. Again, Terry, this is the first time we've done this. Here we go. >> Oh man, it's extra lumpy. >> Let me Let me surprise on here. >> Imagine if you're in prison. That's That's heavy. >> Hey, this is a good day. You know what [laughter] I mean? >> Oh my god, he's got fries. >> Terry, we got the fries that'll cross your eyes and the shake that'll make you quick to go along. >> Oh my god. Okay, you you just you're making a prison cookbook right now. This is what I'm loving. All right, here we go. Is this going to cross my eyes? [laughter] >> I don't know if they're crossing for the right reasons. >> I don't. Yeah, let's just say not very good. >> But don't think of it as a fry. Think of like you um you've gone to a foreign country that you never thought you'd visit and someone hands you this and they say like it's their signature fried number. >> Yeah. You know what it's like if you confuse palenta with mashed potatoes. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And you're like, why does this not why these some these potatoes taste funny? >> This could be the national dish of salsa for all we know. We don't know. >> It's palenta. You know what I mean, right? This might be something big in Romania. >> Exactly. Let's try this milkshake, man. >> Okay. [music] This is a shake. >> This is a shake. This is more successful than the fries. >> This is good. >> This is [laughter] good. >> Wow. Little >> powdery. A little powdery. >> I've had worse shakes somewhere. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You know what I mean? And this is good. I like this. >> You ready to go to the third course? >> Let's do it, baby. >> Let's do it. >> Terry, we got Mountain Dew on the table. There's only one thing that can mean. This is President Dwayne Alzando Mountain Dew Herbert Kamacho. >> Yes. >> And this is his official meal at Futbuckers. So in this Dar in this world that we have imagined just like how BTS had the McDonald's meal here, we are imagining that the president would have had his own futers meal. So this is the de cheeseburger. We are actually making a Mountain Dew flavored blue cheese sauce to go on a smash burger with bacon. Do you like blue cheese? >> I do love blue cheese. >> Well, we're going to see how this turns out today. >> Let's see how this works. >> Um especially with the combination of Mountain Dew in there. >> Oh boy. >> There are so many times where I will see a current food product and I will think of idiocracy. Like I saw um like like protein pop-tarts the other day >> and I was like this feels like we're kind of living in a parody right now. Are there moments that you have >> where you're like oh man Idiocracy was too close to home. >> Hey man like every day. Um when we saw January 3rd I think we all saw what was happening. >> January 6th. >> January third six. Remember when everything >> I was like what happened on January? >> I don't I know. I'm sorry. We kind of saw Wait, could this happen? Could we be in it? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah, we're in it. And um the original script was called 3001. >> And then Mike Judge was like, "Uh, this is happening way too fast." >> Oh, wait. He literally changed the name because he was worried that it would happen a lot quicker than >> he said because it's happening now. And he was like, "We changed he changed the idiocy now." Oh, look at this. This is the Mountain Dew. >> We have reduced the Mountain Dew. >> You reduced it. That's what I'm saying. That's a blue syrup. >> Now it is actually blue. I love it. >> I don't think this will be winning a 100 cooks, but we're going to see how this idiocracy burger tastes. >> Well, President Kamacho would love this. I can feel this. Well, you know, and I got to tell you this, too. People don't know this. I auditioned for that part, [music] I would say, 10 times. >> No way. >> I brought my my past into it because I grew up very religious. >> Okay. And one thing about the church that I went to when I was a kid is that this this pastor was super super um he was he was so charismatic, right? >> He knew what he was doing. He was beautiful. It was >> However, the man had affairs with several women in the church. He was dealing drugs out of the pel pit pit. Uh, and he was actually a very very he was it was a stone cold crack addict and but he would preach every Sunday and everybody loved him. Wait, they knew he was on drugs. They were like, "But he could preach." >> That's crazy. >> He could preach. I And so I said, "Wow, this is the essence of who Kamacho is." >> Yeah. >> It doesn't really matter what he's saying. It's just that he's so damn charismatic. So I went into the audition and I was the only guy that was like, "I can give you my word. He's going to fix the dust storms, too. [laughter] And he's going to fix THE EMONY. AND he's so smart. He's going TO DO IT ALL in one week. You know how I know? Cuz if he don't, I'm going to kick his smart balls all the way up to the roof of his smart ass mouth. [laughter] AND THEY WERE LIKE, >> "NOW YOU SEE WHAT I WAS SAYING?" >> YEAH. IT'S INTERESTING. IT'S LIKE I FEEL IT. I feel it. People are like, [laughter] and dude, Mike Judge said, "Dude, [music] we tried to hire somebody else and we couldn't." >> Man, >> isn't that amazing? >> What a testament >> it is, dude. Cuz I knew I said, "This is the essence of who this guy is." I knew Kamacho. >> Yeah. >> Mike Judge is a genius, by the way. >> Mike Judge, everything he does, >> first of all, and it was a huge failure, by the way. Josh, I got to tell you this, too. The movie, I waited. I couldn't wait. I was telling everybody, "Man, I got this movie. I'm playing the president. Boy, y'all thought White Chicks was cool. Wait till y'all see this." And dude, it was released in two theaters over one weekend. One theater on the East Coast, one theater on the West, and it was out. >> That's crazy cuz I mean, Mike Judge had had successes in theaters of that. >> This Mike Judge proves that white people get screwed, too. [laughter] You always wonder like, you know, everybody's like, "Hey man, they wouldn't do that to no white man." No, they did it to Mike Judge. >> Finally, it just went on the VCR, went on the video cassette, then it went to DVD, a few people started watching it, and then it went to cable, and it took off, by the way. It caught fire. 10 years later, it was a cult [music] classic. And I mean I had major stars. Will Frell um Tilda Swinton was like this is my favorite film. >> Tilda Swinton. >> I WAS LIKE WHERE IN THE WORLD >> TW'S A PRESIDENT Kamacho fan. >> Tilda Swinton is like Idiocracy is required viewing. Will Frell was like Kamacho genius. And I'm going what? And I got so much and it kept getting bigger and bigger and then the [music] elections and all the and then the way politics turned and everything. Oh my god. >> Today here we have the president Kamacho de Cheeseburger brought to you in conjunction of butt buckers and Mountain Dew and the government of the United States. Hold on. We got wayers. >> This is the official. >> I was wondering you're saying that correctly. You know what I mean? like you're being very very cool with that. There it is. >> There we have the official President Kamacho >> Mountain Dew cheeseburger from Buckers. >> First of all, with the added caffeine. >> I know. >> You know what I mean? This is another thing. You get the rush of blue cheese and caffeine. >> This is Mountain Dew high voltage raspberry. Did not know this existed. >> Here we go. >> How's it taste? surprisingly delicious. [laughter] I was expecting a repulsive Mountain Dewish thing, but you know what? It's actually sweet and savory. [laughter] Actually, the colors celebrate America's 250th. Look at this. [laughter] >> THAT'S A HARD SELL, MAN. >> You know, I'm I'm selling it. I'm selling it. That's how we do it. Oh, man. Red, white, and blue somewhere. You know what I mean? The white from the blue cheese, the blue from the Mountain Dew, and the red from the bacon. >> And a salute to you, America. >> Mhm. >> To you, America. >> Jerry, this dish is actually what inspired this entire series because when you were on Last Meals, we were talking about the movie Blended and your love of Perry Perry Chicken. And I was so inspired by your character in blended and how you kind of took this almost Vegas lounge singer approach. So I was thinking marrying the idea of Perry Perry prawns with the shrimp cocktail which was invented in Las Vegas. >> Wow. >> So in honor of your character and blended, we are making a Perry Perry prawn cocktail. >> Wa. >> And so I'm going to make some Perry Perry sauce from scratch because this is this is one of my go-tos at home. I make this from scratch all the time. My family's from Johannesburg, South Africa. And so I absolutely love this dish. So we've roasted a bunch of veg over here. >> You know, you got to understand Nando is legendary >> here. You gotta you gotta franchise some Nandos and get it to California. >> I'm trying. Yes, you have to do that. >> Well, you know, they're they're like in and out. You know what I mean? They they they pick and choose. They're not playing. You know what I mean? They're like, you don't get a Nandos. [laughter] >> You're not good enough for Nandos. You know, >> is that what it is? They don't think they deserve. >> I think so. You got to be real. You got to appreciate who they are. You know what I mean? Now, remember Cuckaroo was here. >> Yes, it was. >> Cuckaroo had that whole Perry Perry chicken thing down and they failed. Like somehow it messed around, right? So, I think Nandos looked at them and were like, "Hey, we don't trust you with our recipes, right? >> We could if if if we can't handle Kuckaroo, we don't deserve Nando." >> You know what I mean? >> So, yeah. >> But, hey, when I was in South Africa filming that movie, I was at Nando probably four times a week. And the fact that you're gonna do petty petty shrimp prawns. >> I think this is gonna be good, man. I'm gonna get some shrimp grilling over here. We've seasoned them with a little bit of paprika and smoked pepper. We're going to do it like a hot prawn cocktail. >> I'mma blend that up. Get them on the shrimp. I'm just excited. Like this is the type of love language that I talk about with food where for me it's like I love the creative aspect of showing somebody a little bit of your soul in a way. You know what I Well, that smells so >> like to me this is literally like your art in your core. You're you invented that character, right? Adam Sandler had called you and wanted it to be a bit of like a stereotypical kind of like >> he did. He didn't know, you know what I mean? He just thought, "Oh, yeah, he's is African." I said, "No, bro. We have to make this, we have to respect the culture, you know what I So what I decided to do was to make him this larger than life character so that you were laughing with him but not at the culture. >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? Because the culture is beautiful, man. The music the I mean you you're never going to get notes that you get from the South African style, you know, the the Lady Smith Black Mambazo notes. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> They they actually worked with me. I was in the studio [music] and I was singing with those guys, man. I mean, what a privilege, what an honor. And I sang all my songs in that movie, you know what I mean? And I was doing this stuff. You They are blending. >> They are binding, you know? And it was like what happens because you're there and you're in the scene. I became this guy, [music] you know what I mean? I was Nick, you know, and it was so much fun and it changed me forever. Forever. And you know, I was so happy. And this is a testament to Adam Sandler is that he let me change it. >> Yeah. >> Let me tell you, Adam said, "Dude, do whatever you want." So, I went and got these suits made. I went and got the wig made. >> No way. >> I did it all myself. I created that character all myself.

And dude, I had the shrimp cocktail and they said, "Go ahead and dip it and I'll bit it." And man, my face went bow and I was like, and I didn't know if I had eyes or nose. My nostrils were gone. I just said, "Okay, my whole thing is over. My face is over." And it was the best shrimp cocktail. But it was a It was a fight, YOU KNOW. >> DAMN. [screaming] THAT'S IT. That's it. St. Elmo received. >> Shout out to Noah Khan's Noah Khan's last meal. Sing songwriter. >> To my people in Indianapolis, man.

This is a creamy rosata style cocktail sauce in here. >> Yeah, cuz you don't need the horseeradish, bro. >> No. No. Unless you want some. >> No, you don't need that. >> Add a little bit in there.

With >> It's not too hot. >> That's beautiful. It's beautiful. Hold on. [laughter] >> This is to me like this. This is what food's about. >> Whoa. Whoa. Wait. No. Now it's a prop. Cheers. >> Terry, we got one more course. You ready for dessert? >> Let's do it. Let's do it. >> Terry, for dessert today, we have the mango yogurt parfait. >> Of course, inspired by another great Terry, Terry Jeffs from Brooklyn 999. uh who was uh mourning the loss of mango yogurt and actually given a drunken speech uh about it. Uh but your love of yogurt in that show was uh tremendously inspirational for this dessert. So we have a mango infused frozen yogurt that we actually made with Greek yogurt. So there's a lot of protein in this dish. >> Good protein. >> And then we are going to layer it with fresh mango. >> Oh, it's like a nice parfait. >> Little bit of coconut flakes. And then we actually made a dried mango granola as well. >> Ooh. So, we're going to get some of that in there. What was the inspiration for the yogurt obsession in that show? >> First of all, I want to say I want to really give the props out to the writers uh because they stole that from me. They stole everything. Not one bit of that was written. [laughter] >> And I give props for they stole they were the best thieves ever. I love yogurt, right? That's the truth. And what what happened and what they saw remember? You remember the the the character's name is Terry. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> So they they were looking at my life and they were like, "What can we steal to put in?" But that it was brilliant because it was one of the best characters I've ever played cuz I it half of it wasn't acting, you know? >> And so I remember before I would go on set, I would have yogurt. I mean, that was my thing, you know, and it was good protein. It was healthy. and someone saw it and they and Dan Gore put it into the script where it's like, "Hey, he loves yogurt." And it stuck. I don't know how to say it. >> Oh, man. Their their jobs are really hard, huh? >> Well, the thing is is that you when you look at yogurt, it's literally been marketed to women. >> Yes. >> For years. You know, when when you see Dannon and Yoplate and the whole thing, cuz it was kind of like a diet food. >> You know what I'm saying? Uh, but people don't know that it's one of the healthiest [music] protein muscle building foods ever. And and you and I know it's hard to get protein like like >> and because it gets boring. >> Your jaw gets tired from chewing all that damn chicken breast. >> You can't eat seven chicken breasts, you know? It's just so hard. Yogurt is a great one thing I've used it is a great sauce. >> Yeah. If you put just plain yogurt and lime and you can make a good sauce that it it kind of flavors your what I call people chow. You know when you get sweet potatoes and meat and all that spinach all together and then you sauce it up with that, it makes it go down easier. >> I call the slot bowls. >> Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? The low fat stuff's hard. >> Terry, here we have the mango frozen yogurt parfait with 30 g of protein in it. Fresh mango, mango granola, a little bit of mango honey syrup on there. >> Wow. >> Cheers, brother. Hey dude, to Brooklyn 999. >> To Brooklyn 999 >> and to also to Andre Brower. >> To Andre Brower. >> He was the heart of our show. >> He was the heart. He He You You're talking about a man who Giuliard Train, one of the most talented actors who ever lived, who dressed up in a chicken suit and said, [music] "Do not poop on the subway." [laughter] And he never looked down on us. You know what I mean? He was his decision was so good. He made a decision that he was going to pull all of us up. And again, I'm an old football player. He knows Shakespeare and theater, you know, and and not to mention, he's an Emmy award-winning uh you know, actor. He got it for Homicide, Life on the Street. He's one of the most dramatic. He This man was in glory. You know what I mean? With Morgan Freeman. You see what I mean? He's just absolutely amazing. And then and the fact that he would just come with us and I spent most of the time with him on that set cuz we were in the precinct all together. Here he was. He was the captain. I was right underneath them. >> Yeah. >> And like Cash with Andre, [music] everybody rocked it, man. Joe Lulio, Joel Pretti, Melissa Promero, Stephanie Beatus. Um it was incredible, man. What What can I say? just everybody [music] rocked their roles so good and became it it it resonated all around the world and we never stepped on each other. We all came to just just help each other, you know what I mean? Every day you could see it. And Andy Samberg, legend. Legend. And I I just I [music] appreciate him. I appreciate Dan Gore and what that show means. Super special. [music] >> Yeah. >> It'll never be repeated. And this is damn good. >> I think you find that a lot in your career where you have these things that people watch over and over and over and over. And the amount of times I've watched [music] White Chicks and The Longest I watched The Longest Yard last night, not not even to prep for this, just cuz I was thinking about it. I went, man, I want to see the way Nelly moves on that football cutting and his knees don't have, you know, the amount of like wear and tear that you and Michael do. So, he's still moving fresh out there for those high school days. >> It's just it's such a good movie. And you, one of the things I appreciate most about you is that you're so effusive to give praise [music] to other people. >> I think that really shows who you are. Uh, and it especially comes out on 100 Cooks, man, where you're just [music] so incredible at giving the energy and the praise that all these cooks deserve. It's a heck of a show, man. I'm I'm so happy for you that you >> stream. I want to say this. I don't work well by myself. >> Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. I just don't I'm I work well in in some beautiful, you [music] know, like a a beautiful recipe. >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? If you put me by myself, it's like, eh, but when you add all these other elements and mix it all up, I want to be that pow. I want to be that moment that's that impresses other things. What's an ingredient that you have that said you [music] put in and all of a sudden it makes everything else like whoa. >> Fish sauce. Terry, you're the fish. You're the fermented anchovi juice. >> That's what I want to be. >> Entertainment. >> That's what I want to be. [laughter] You know what I mean? Where it's like, whoa, what is that secret ingredient? Why does it taste so good? >> You're like, we let a bunch of anchovies rot for 6 months. That's [laughter] Terry Cruz. >> I'm the MSG OF HOLLYWOOD. >> THAT'S BETTER. Use that. Use that. [laughter] >> Terry, do that. >> SODIUM GLOW TO MATE CRUZ. >> TERRY, I can't thank you enough for being Hey, man. Give me a freaking hug. >> I know, brother. I love you, man. >> You're the best.
