How do you guys feel about the electric scooters on every corner?
43:09
I mean, I've definitely used them.
43:12
Like, I don't mind them.
43:14
Like, I think they're better than a Segway.
43:18
But they're, like, there's definitely an issue with the, like, that they just get left around.
43:25
Like, the amount of people that were just, like, throwing them in the bay in San Francisco and just, like, they just get, like, completely disregarded.
43:34

I'm a little against boat is the quote of the year.
12:37
And then you try to plan it out, like who's gonna order at what time, and you just have this constant parade of food coming in.
12:43
I think one of the best things I've ever seen, though, is, um, hot pot.
12:48
They show up, the guy has a huge backpack on his back, has everything.
12:52
He puts up individual pots for everybody, all the sliced meats.
12:55
You call him back, he comes, picks everything up, puts the tablecloth down, covers your chairs, everything.

But you're a yakitori super fan.
61:29
Yeah.
61:30
I will take yakitori over Southern fried chicken.
20:23
W- when, when you came on board, did you realize it was gonna be as difficult as it became?
20:31
Um, no. It's really interesting, the ebb and flow of that show and the schedule as far as timing goes.
20:42
It's always interesting that, you know, Wednesday, Thursday, kind of getting the menu to go, getting it together, and then whether we work with it more that [pot clicks] week, and then coming in on Monday and trying to get it to that finish point and it... for the, for the rehearsal.
20:59
Monday's always the most stressful day.

43:45
But like, I would say cooking comes more naturally to you than me.
43:51
Uh, hmm.
43:54
But maybe I have a higher success rate, but you end up doing your...
44:01
You have a fearlessness of going into cooking and, and you have no fear of m- of messing up in a way, that by doing more stuff, you probably have just as many, if not way [laughs] more successes than me because of that.
25:13
(laughs) Which is really fucking hard.
25:16
It was like, by the end of the s- second season it was like 200 and... at least 250 dishes, I think.

46:04
I was like, "Oh, this does satiate some kind of itch."
46:07
Yeah.
46:08
I think for me, surprisingly was the German episode, 'cause it's stuff I've never cooked before obviously.
46:14
But the, uh, the pork nu- the schwein-

There was some, I feel like there's some vegetables in there.

I, so, so the recipe does suggest adding vegetables, which I had to add vegetables.
