Mike FergusonHOST
Other than that
Mike GibsonHOST
That Chef Boyardee hat
Mike FergusonHOST
But also, what about a kid wanting plane tickets for Christmas?
Mike GibsonHOST
Hey.
Tom ShattuckHOST
If you're in a situation where you can only get food from CVS, and I had this in the 90s and early 2000s where we lived near a CVS, you know, there are only six things there, and it's incredibly unsexy.
Tom ShattuckHOST
Like, you can get the Chef Boyardee can and some cheese, but it was a lot less.
Tom ShattuckHOST
This is when CVS...
Alice ShattuckHOST
Now CBS has way more stuff.
Matt MillerHOST
It'll work well.
Matt MillerHOST
Uh, Chef Boyardee ravioli and the G- Mercedes G 580, they go well together.
Hannah ElliottHOST
Can't wait to see the photos.
Hannah ElliottHOST
That sounds so fun.
Kelly CaspersonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They're literally offered different meals.
Kelly CaspersonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is literally Chef Boyardee in a can, old ravioli, and this is a four-star Italian restaurant.
Kelly CaspersonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So they changed the study a little bit.
Kelly CaspersonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And they asked the women, and they said...
Saida DésiletsHOST
So what would make you say yes and what would make you say no, right? So there's this also desire pre even experience.
Saida DésiletsHOST
And then there's the desire post experience.
Saida DésiletsHOST
And then we need to look at, okay, so we have all these statistics and she's saying one is the can of Chef Boyardee, one's the four-star Italian meal.
Saida DésiletsHOST
But nowhere in this conversation do we even understand, well, what is a four star Italian meal? Like, what does that mean? How do we actually get information to people? Like, would you like to have sex if it was good and healthy and happy for you and your body? Everyone pretty much is on board with that.
DaimlosHOST
Moving on.
DaimlosHOST
Number one, of course, the goat, Chef Boyardee.
DaimlosHOST
Chef Boyardee.
DaimlosHOST
Love Chef Boyardee.
DaimlosHOST
You know what, though? I'll tell you what.
DaimlosHOST
What's the Hoops SpaghettiOs? Have you had a can of SpaghettiOs recently? Double gross.
Stephanie HansenHOST
We'll take your tips.
Stephanie HansenHOST
I did have a Chef Boyardee moment that is going to bear with me.
Stephanie HansenHOST
OK.
Stephanie HansenHOST
We got frozen ravioli from Cosetta's.
Stephanie HansenHOST
Let's eat out of the freezer.
Stephanie HansenHOST
Here it is.
Stephanie HansenHOST
it was like reminiscent of Chef Boyardee out of the can, but in all the good ways.
Stephanie HansenHOST
Yeah.
RandyPANELIST
That's funny.
AlanHOST
Didn't Ravioli get traded to Boyardee?
WagsHOST
No, no.
WagsHOST
He left the NHL and went over to Italy.
Damon BruceHOST
and it would go on to show how popular his cuisine was becoming.
Damon BruceHOST
And through that, we got Chef Boyardee.
Damon BruceHOST
Today in 1945, Mike the Headless Chicken survived a pre-meal beheading, and he lived another year and a half without a head.
Damon BruceHOST
A chicken had its head cut off, and this is a true story.
Nicole CainGUEST
Higher and higher.
Nicole CainGUEST
And when we combine that with a lack of awareness about the link between the mind and the body, where I grew up eating Chef Boyardee straight out of the can and having a ton of very problematic digestive symptoms.
Nicole CainGUEST
is I think it was kind of a perfect storm of I wasn't able to nurture or tend to my mind and my body the way I needed to because I just didn't know how.
Nicole CainGUEST
So that's an early example.
Amy KayeHOST
I could see you wanting to just, like, move past it to keep the peace, but at the same time, if it's something you actually concocted, it is not, like, really even a family recipe that passed down.
Amy KayeHOST
You made it up one night, like Chef Boyardee in your kitchen.
ZeroHOST
I like that that's your go-to chef.
Amy KayeHOST
chef boyardee is a real man yeah
ZeroHOST
it just seems like in a world of guy theories and like other like i don't bobby flay we could have got gordon ramsey for cried out loud he went with chef boyardee
Amy KayeHOST
the fact that you chef boyardee this yeah and she's taking the credit you wouldn't allow someone in the workplace to take credit for your work right why let that happen in your own home
ZeroHOST
Yeah, I think you got to go and keep calling her out on it.
ZeroHOST
