Hey, wanna argue about something dumb? Yeah, kind of.

This is A Hot Dog is a Sandwich. Ketchup is a smoothie. Yeah, I put ice in my cereal, so what? That makes no sense. A hot dog is a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich. What? Welcome to our podcast, A Hot Dog is a Sandwich, hot dog is a sandwich. What?

Welcome to our podcast, A Hot Dog is a Sandwich, the show where you break down the world's biggest food debates. I'm your host, Josh Scher. And I'm your host, Nicole Inayati. And today I'm wearing a type of shirt that I've never worn in four years of this podcast and it's freaking Nicole out. You guys don't know how, like, is it disarming?

This shirt is disarming to me. Disarming would mean that you feel somewhat like charmed by me. And that your normal defenses as a human are not up. It's the opposite of that. Oh my god, I was so... My defenses are all... I am alarmed. It is not...

I don't know who this man is. You're like when a small child... Whose man is this? Like when a small child sees his father dressed up as Dracula for Halloween and doesn't quite have the permanence to understand, this is still my father. Or whenever a dad has a beard and then you shave the beard. This is what's happening to me right now. I'm a three-year-old and you're the dad that shaved his beard and I don't like it!

I'll tell you what happened. This was a prop for a shoot that we did and the only shirt that I brought I spilled a large quantity of teriyaki sauce on during lunch. That's right. So here we are. I think I like pretty red. I think you look like an extra from Dawson's Creek. The shirt is a long-sleeve flannel button down from the Tarjay Describe it. Yes, it has Burgundy, navy and eggshell eggshell Checks in a plaid pattern and I feel very strange I feel like a new person but it's great that I feel like a new person because we're arguing about something that we've never argued about before.

Which is shocking. It is shocking because people have said that you argued about every single thing in food. Alas, we have found one more argument. The podcast survives another week. Today we are arguing about breakfast versus lunch versus dinner or as I want to call it, is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? Because that's the old adage that we all grew up learning. But if we're talking about that, we've got to talk about what is the most important.

Is it lunch or dinner? BLD, baby, BLD. What is it? Chris Angel's C-A-B-L-P. Chris Angel's Breakfast Lunch Pizza. RIP, man. Henderson, Nevada, the greatest restaurant that never was. You have a poppy seed in your tooth.

Can I help you take it out? It's not a poppy seed, it's an elderberry. Smile. Where is it? Do you want to? Oh no, she's actually plucking it from my teeth. That is... no, it's still in my mouth. Oh, I hate what just happened.

New level of friendship unlocked! The importance of breakfast. Why is breakfast considered important? I like breakfast. I eat it almost every day. If you eat breakfast, you're a peasant. New level of friendship, unlocked! The importance of breakfast. Why is breakfast considered important? I like breakfast. I eat it almost every day. If you eat breakfast, you're a peasant.

Well, hold on. There's an old adage that says, eat breakfast like a king, eat lunch like a worker bee, and eat dinner like a peasant. Okay, well, describe why that phrase exists. I've heard that too. Because at breakfast, you know, you're breaking your fast, you need to eat plentifully, you know, you're gonna go and you're gonna work, you're gonna be awake for the next gosh-knows-how-many hours. Lunch, you're a little bit more peckish, you're just there to like kind of satiate yourself. And then dinner, you're gonna sleep soon. So why eat so much?

And so there's two ways this argument could go, right? It's like nutritionally, what does your body actually want and when? Which we are not registered nutritionists or dieticians. Neither. We're both studying for it. I watch tic-tacs from them I feel like I should be I don't want to ever study that yeah eat more Oreos drink you who like I could do that you know what I mean look eat raw testicles you know that's like what they do on there I was watching liver King the other day he's in rough shape he might have felt falling off a little rough shit leaves on such a

ridiculous amount of steroids that even pro bodybuilders are like, this is too many steroids. Wow, that's saying something. That is saying something. But no, there's the nutritional route and then there's just like what foods are actually the best that are typically correlated to those meals and I have thoughts about both. Nutritionally, this whole eat breakfast like a king, the idea is that you are generally going to be awake for like, what are people awake for, like 15 hours? I think people are awake for 15 to 17 hours. Yeah, yeah. You're active, your metabolism is moving quicker, so the idea is you eat early in the day and

that food is going to be put more towards energy. Yes. Right? Then as you eat later today, your metabolism does shut down. I mean, do you? Not completely, but like it does stop, right? Oh, it doesn't shut down, but it significantly slows down. Slows down. That's the right word.

Have you felt like there are a lot of things in your old age now that have really affected you differently? I'm 31. That's older than you were previously. Now is the oldest point in your life. Do you feel like there are things- Why do you have to rub it in? That's so mean.

Because there's a new trigger for me. What? I can't eat big meals before bed baby. Me either, oh my gosh. Oh. Let me tell you, I used to be the biggest fan of dinner. I loved going out. I loved entertaining. Like, you don't get it. Like, I used to love going to dinner with like maybe up to one to four other people and just getting a platter of stuff just to eat and taste and nosh and talk. I can't,

if we have dinner plans at 9, I can't do it anymore. I need to get out of it. That rez is 6.30, baby. I'm spending the next four hours digesting. Yeah, I literally went to a Brazilian steakhouse with my mom, dad, brother, and sister-in-law, David and I. We started at 6.00, we left at 7.45. We were able to digest the food. If I started at 8 o'clock, I would have been miserable.

Miserable. I completely agree. So that's the idea is you eat like a smaller dinner the old adage of breakfast is most important meal of the day Society what does important mean? I would say and I think a lot of this comes from You know as a time when the world is industrializing right and people were suddenly like working in factories You know and they weren't connected to like the farm Like a lot of the reason we eat eggs for breakfast is because farmers had plenty of them. And before like the late 1800s, a majority of people just lived on farms because that's how society was. Yes, they were eating gruel. Yeah, but like, so a lot of these rules that we have heard of of a lot of these societal norms that we think of from

Even dating back to like ancient Rome the Middle Ages ancient Greece a lot of it's coming from like the upper crust Sure, so there did used to be this idea that breakfast was for peasants because they're like I'm kingly and royal I have no reason to work like I don't need fuel for to get up. Yeah. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense Yeah, but then like in ancient Rome they had something like Intaculum which typically breakfast was a barley bread that was dipped in wine You'd eat a couple olives whatever you had on hand But it was just something that was necessary to fuel your day And then we sort of found ourselves where more and more people needed those necessary calories to fulfill their like factory jobs

Yes, right And so we even see like a lot of weird modern breakfast, like we've talked before about the PR war for bacon. Sure, we've talked about that before. In the early 1900s, like bacon only became a breakfast food because there was a surplus of pork bellies, and then you get rid of orange juice, it's the same thing, how it became a breakfast juice. So silly.

Surplus of oranges in the early 1910s. And so a lot of these customs like are very new, and I think we are in the point Nicole call where we can rewrite our own customs. I'm ready to decolonize my brain of thinking eggs are only breakfast foods. Okay. I'm over it. Yes. Because isn't there there's a great dish called titka, right? Titka. It's an braised egg and pork belly dish. Pork belly bish. Pork belly bish and it's so damn delicious and it's sweet and it's savory it's Thai is it Thai? No, thit ca is Viet. Vietnamese and it is so damn

delicious and my whole life I've been told eggs need to be only for breakfast no way Jose I want to eat that for lunch and dinner it's's so delicious. Thit caw is, so I've grown up eating thit caw and like making it. It's pork belly, the eggs, they're boiled eggs and you braise it all together and like typically add some, like it's called nuoc mao or like fish sauce caramel. But the secret ingredient is a soda called Coco Rico. Yeah, that's right. Coco Rico. Coco Rico, at least in America, in American recipes, I assume Coco Rico was maybe Filipino

that made its way to Vietnam because of the Spanish influence in the name or even just So, at least in America, in American recipes, I assume Coco Rico was maybe Filipino that made its way to Vietnam because of the Spanish influence in the name. Or even just a Vietnamese soda that was named... But what was it? Canada? It's like, it's Puerto Rican, dude. Oh, L.L. Inexplicably, a Puerto Rican soda has become endemic to this Vietnamese, at least the Americanized

version of this Vietnamese dish. That's hilarious. And I think it's hilarious. But your point reigns. And if you look at Vietnam and how breakfast typically functions, pho is a breakfast food and so all these ideas that we have what's a breakfast food? What's a lunch? What's a dinner food? We do not have to be beholden to them whatsoever. I will eat pancakes for dinner I mean congee right congee is like an incredible broken rice dish. That's typically eaten for breakfast But for us Americans, it's oatmeal, right? Yeah, it's the same concept. Yeah. Yeah, it's a gruel. It's a gruel

I like gruel. The It's a gruel. It's a gruel. I like gruel. Gruel. The world runs on gruel. Gruel rules. Hi, I'm PJ Voatt, here to tell you about my new podcast, Search Engine. Search Engine was one of the very best new podcasts of 2023, according to Vulture, Vogue,

Podcast, available now on the Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's analyze breakfast. How much joy do you get from eating early in the morning? So I recently stopped so I used to be a person that would only drink coffee So I'd get up at like 7. I'd make myself a coffee. I had an espresso. This is pre Nicole This is Nicole like a year ago an espresso with 2% milk or hemp milk with like a homemade vanilla syrup and then I wouldn't eat anything until I would get to work at 9 and then at 9.10 I would make myself two eggs with a big

ass piece of toast buttered and then cheese and I would just love that was like my life I was like hell yeah breakfast is served oh it was a hot sauce but now I do I don't always eat breakfast But I do like protein powder in my coffee which helps satiate me and I also do collagen peptides Which who knows what the heck that means and I got an espresso I got an espresso machine instead of an espresso machine So like I there's a whole ritual to like making myself a coffee and then I had an espresso machine not an espresso exactly Yeah what an espresso an espresso machine, not an espresso machine. Exactly. Yeah. What? An espresso.

An espresso. I have a... An espresso versus an espresso. Shush, shush your mouth. This shirt's giving you too much confidence. I have a... I got an espresso machine. I used to have a Nespresso machine, but now I have an espresso machine.

I did it. I did it. It took me a second. But yeah, and I do that and then I put my protein powder, my collagen peptides, and then maybe I eat a hard-boiled egg and that's it. And I love my breakfast. I refuse to take joy from foods eaten during the daylight. Oh no, and then I also have avocado. I have like a quarter of an avocado and I'm just set for life.

There's a cap. There's a ceiling to the amount of joy that I'm willing to have. If I'm like on a work day. Why is that? I want to save it all. I'm a big like, Delayed pleasure kind of guy.

Delayed gratification kind of guy. Sick. So every morning, 5.30 in the morning, rip a protein bar. Nobody likes it, tastes like chalk, I eat it in the car. Drink pre-workout, go to the gym, grind for two, two and a half hours, come to work, make a protein shake. I enjoy the taste of these things, roughly, I don't hate any of it.

I hate your protein shake. Delightful, it's just blueberries, protein powder, Greek yogurt, put a little bit of salt in there, just gonna taste nice. But like, there's never a scenario on a weekday where I am trying to take pleasure in food before I think Literally before I like if I'm cooking at work It's like and there's something fun that I want to eat sure But it's different than like once all of your obligations for the day are done And you're like finally now I feast interesting and I don't like eat Spartan

I'll eat things that I roughly enjoy, but then I feel like there's a point at which I'm missing out on Eggs Benedict, I think is one of the world's great foods. Yeah, I love eggs benedict too. A lot of brunchy things. So much effort, but like see this is the thing Do you think effort is correlated to enjoyment all the time when it comes to breakfast? I don't think so No, not at all. But what I'm saying is I think we need to completely Decouple we are in a post historical period right? I don't know what that means. We are in a post-historical period, right? I don't know what that means. We've conquered God. We have VR goggles.

Nicole, five years from now, five years from now, the VR is gonna be a contact lens. Touch our. Yeah, and then like 10 years from now, it's gonna be brain implants. There is no God, there is no objective reality. There is no breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All we have are the various butter and egg emulsions

that we like to put on cured meats in little disks of dough that have been cooked. So we need to completely decouple the idea that any food is correlated to breakfast, any food is correlated to lunch, any food correlated to dinner. That way, I can fully optimize my life. Have you ever had an omelet for dinner?

It's not that good. Yes, it is better, it's better. A Denver omelet? I will go to Barney's, I don't like Denver omelets in general. I don't like the bell peppers. Okay, so what's your favorite omelet? Chili cheese omelet from the Barney's Beanery.

Chili cheese omelet? I will go to the Barney's Beanery, the sports dive bar in Los Angeles, and I will rip a chili cheese omelet at 11 at night while drinking a couple Barney's Beanery lagers. And I have a great time. Your farts must be wild. You've ingested a lot more of them than you want to believe right now. You think about the amount of spiders that you've eaten while sleeping, it pales in comparison to the amount of farts that you have breathed in in this room. And I'm sorry. In this room? You've crop dusted me in this room? Of course. There's no dusting because it absorbs.

That means you've crop dusted Maggie. I room. There's no dusting because it absorbs You did that it absorbs into the seat because of the wood it's like farting on an airplane. It doesn't smell Everybody knows that why am I the bad guy here? Oh my god? Okay? I can't believe you eating in the morning I think inherently Takes away from the experience Breakfast most important meal today aren't you hungry? Do you wake up in the morning hungry? No, never. I do! You don't wake up hungry? No.

I wake up hungry. I could like delay eating until like one in the afternoon if I really wanted to. Oh no no no no no no. My brain goes dizzy. My tummy gets it gets hurty. I need to eat a food. I must eat a food. If I don't eat a food, it's bad news bears.

Do you think that breakfast really is the most important meal of the day? For me, at this point of my 31 year old life, I need breakfast to set the tone for the rest of my day. Interesting. I need it, yeah. How much pleasure, because we have like, again- Life's not all about pleasure. It's not, it's not, but I'm saying, I'm saying food is- It can no longer be hedonism in this life, Josh.

It's 2024, the VR goggles are doing the hedonism for us. We're involved in the culinary arts, right? Okay, the co-arts. No, no, but I'm saying like no other art is necessary to human survival like the culinary arts. It's really annoying. It's actually frustrating. Things are important. Music, dance have been around hundreds of them, but like you don't need to listen to music to physically survive. You need to eat food to survive. So we are in this weird dichotomous music is my language God we're in this weird dichotomous thinking right where you have like this pleasure and art and culture and then like survival and

Necessity and performance. Okay, right and then where we find them meeting is to me like a very interesting thing For me, they meet in like a pollo asado burrito. Okay. It's one of my favorite foods in the world. It gives me so much joy to eat and make one. A little bit less than carne asado burrito but chicken is healthier for you than beef according to my personal beliefs. But also it's got 60 grams of protein and is within the like caloric range that I want to be eating for most meals. Sure. Right? So to me that's like this beautiful intersection. So I'm saying like where do you manage that for your breakfast?

How much joy do you take from it versus how much performance do you expect? Honestly, I'm just happy to be alive another day. So I guess that's where my pleasure is coming from. Like I get to eat this egg. I'm so lucky that I woke up today and I get to eat this. It's kind of beautiful. You got to find happiness and joy wherever you can nowadays. Breakfast for you is objectively probably the most important you'd say I said that yeah if you're listening

I'm reiterating for the audience you've iterated. I'm reiterating listening. They're trying to track lunch Lunch don't need it makes don't don't need don't need it don't need it don't need it Do you know you see what I did you threw you threw most your lunch away? I mean Nicole gave her lunch away to people and didn't waste any food. Why'd you do that? I gave it to you. I think I'm a little nauseous right now, which is weird.

I don't know. It wasn't serving you. Well, I wasn't serving you. I was a little nauseous. Are you okay? Are you gonna get us sick? I don't know. My tummy hurts a little bit.

You're worried about breathing in my farts. I'm breathing in your disease. I breathe in your disease. I ate half my lunch, because if I eat a whole lunch during the day, again, old man, I've learned that it just makes me slower and I can't think as much. Which is why lunch, we're nixing out of the equation, right? Not important.

I think it's important sometimes. I think it depends on what you're doing all day. Like if you're sitting at a desk, you should eat lunch. But it doesn't need to be like a big dramatic lunch. No, like a girl dinner lunch version girl dinner semi-colon lunch Is this disordered eating? I don't like to view things in terms of like normative binaries right disordered ordered again Which just it's just how we are

People should eat People should eat 100% people should eat But I'm saying like when you actually break down the importance of a meal and ranking them breakfast first lunch Well, well Josh, I'm just slaying my laptop What what do you mean by important? We need food to survive. There's performance and then there's art There's performance and then there's take art out of it art smart. You need it to survive food No, I know eat enough cow handful and nuts handful and that's will get you lot. Right? Big handful- oh god, I'm just an almond mom. You are. You're being an almond mom right now.

I'm not. I eat so much food. You do. Right? But I'm saying, once you get to dinner, to me- Dinner's more important. So let me tell you. So breakfast is more important than dinner, is more important than lunch. Is that right? Breakfast, perform. Lunch, perform. Dinner, enjoy.

No. That's where I go on a day to day. No, no, no, no, no. You should enjoy all of them enough. Enjoy all of them, but breakfast is an A, lunch is a C, and dinner is a B minus.

Does that make sense? What do you think, dinner's where you like, can actually like commune with fellow man, right? Dinner to me is like, that's where I decompress my entire day. I'm giving it a B-minus! I know, B-minus does it. It belies the natural importance of dinner. To me, dinner is by far-

I'm blessed on God put me on earth to eat breakfast that morning. Thank you God, I love you. Thank you so much, I appreciate it. Lunch, I'm at work, I hate everybody I work with, whatever. Dinner, I'm making it for my husband that I love so much, but I'm so damn tired But it's gonna be really good breakfast burritos taste best at 9 45 p.m.. You know I disagree with you a hundred percent All right Nicole We've heard what you and I have to say.

Now it's time to find out what other wacky idiots are rattling out there in the universe. It's time for a little segment we call, Opinions are like Casserole! Fully ghosted. Sick. Alright, let's see. Hello. My name is Evan. I live in Canada. So excited to hear what you're going to say. There's these people in my life like my sister, my mom, they always say soda is the best after

you eat chocolate. And I heavily disagree. tastes disgusting there's no flavor left if you eat chocolate and then drink soda after I feel this it doesn't have any flavor after it's just fizzy water anyway that's my opinion love the podcast keep doing what you do well what if I told you call her from Canada whose name I don't remember might be Evan is Evan? Yo, no sir I hope it's not a slur Kevin Kevin Evan Evan. I love the name. I'm Canada

We are going to test you look here right now We have some Reese's peanut butter cups and Nicole has a sprit day and I have a coca-cola It's pronounced coca Is that what the animal is? Quokka. You know what I hate? The genre. Let me grandstand for two seconds. The type of person online. Evans complained about his mom and sister. I haven't complained about people.

The people online who like, they'll show a cute animal video and it's like a quokka smiling. And people are like, actually did you know that quokkas only do that when they're in extreme pain? It's like, we have no idea. Let me just put a little bit of a human like thing on it. Yeah, anthropomorphize. Yeah, let me anthropomorphize in peace. So eat the candy and then drink a soda. I think I know what he's talking about. I think I know exactly why it happens. It's the same reason why if you drink like a wine that has

blackberry notes and then you eat a piece of wild boar that has a blackberry sauce on it Next step of that wine is not gonna taste like blackberries Do I drink now? Yeah, this is sprite zero. It's a sprite zero Can we switch it tastes less good the soda tastes less good after chocolate I know where your mom and sister are coming from. It's sugar, right? Where your mom and sister are coming from

is that chocolate is rich and sweet and fatty. What you probably want is something acidic and bright to sort of cut that. It will cleanse your palate and it will. There's carbonic acid in soda. There's also a ton of sugar and citric acid. I will say the Coca-Cola with the Reese's is quite a delicious combination

It does taste less coca-cola II Well, maybe I'm happy because you're eating Reese's and drinking a coke two of the most perfect consumer packaged goods ever made. Amen Took me a while to love Reese's but now I'm like really so I mean it's cuz my dad liked them as I wanted to rebel Wow, man, we all turn into our fathers eventually, you know what I mean? I'm totally turning into my mom and that rocks. You're kind of becoming, your palate is becoming desensitized to the sugar of the Coke with the sugar of the chocolate. So basically like nothing will ever taste as good as your say first bite of candy. It's going to taste the sweetest because you haven't had that in a while. So when you taste the sweet from the candy, you drink the Coke, it's gonna

neutralize some of that sugary taste. Right. You know? That said, you are also getting the carbonic acid and the citric acid and just that fizz to sort of like wash everything out, making the next bite of Reese's taste even better. So I understand both of your points and I think you should just be happy that you have a loving family. They may have other faults that you don't like, but call back and tell us about those.

I liked the combination of Coke and Reisis more than I did the Sprite Zero and the Reisis. Do with that information what you will. The chocolate kind of tastes like plastic but I like it. But it's good plastic. It's not bad plastic. I like chocolate plastic flavor more than cheese plastic flavor. Does that make sense? 100%. Okay. Hi Josh and Nicole. This is Lyndon Calgary Alberta. Canada has to die. First off love you both you're amazing love the podcast keep it up. I'm married. I'll tell you guys that Chili Chris and Feta is a killer combo for pasta I am currently smashing said pasta. Hey you drink it Tony okay love ya don't change. One love I'm married! Love you, buddy. Two, love your pronunciation of pasta because we should be pronouncing it more like pasta than pasta.

Did you watch Pearl? No. No! What? I'm married! Okay, Pearl is, it's Mia Goth. I love Mia Goth. This is a great opinion. I love Shirley Criss and I love Feta and mixing that with pasta.

Yum, yum in my tongue. So when British people hear us say the word pasta, they internalize an R. Because Brits say pasta. Pasta. And it is probably closer to the Italian pasta. They think we're saying pasta. Because the R, the non-rhotic R,

has our effect of where we would likely put in an H. Like Pamela? Like when they say Pamela Anderson? Yeah, well it depends on your regional accent where you're from, whether you rhoticize the R or not. But like... Rhoticize the R? The R, R. That is a very unique, the rhotic R is very unique to the American English accent.

But some other cultures also do have it and some accents coming from Great Britain do have a rhotic R. What does this have to do with anything? What, I'm just saying I love this pronunciation of pasta. It's pasta. I like saying pasta I'm gonna start saying pasta. Okay, it's a channel and pasta channel Channel it's an east. Anyways, the point is that is a very good combination of foods. I'm down Where do you think that like lands it on? It's kind of a perfect intersection of like European flavor, because that feta is like a very unique European cheese flavor, typically Eastern Europe. Well, do you think they're using like Valbreezo, like sheep's milk feta in water? They're probably using the Athena brand feta crumbles.

I think so too. But you hit that Athena brand feta crumbles, little bit of pasta water. Or do you think they're just topping pasta with feta and chili crisp? I would like to think they're making some sort of pseudo sauce with the issue pasta. You probably don't want the sauce because the sauce is, the wet is going to make the chili crisp less crisp.

I've cooked chili crisp down in sauce. But that's okay. You're not always trying to get the crisp part of the chili crisp. It's also gonna break down the feta to where you don't get those crumbles and also feta is never going to dissolve truly so high acid high protein. Yeah, but you don't want to completely dissolve you want it to melt a little bit What I do is I'd make like a simple Butter pasta water emulsion not even serve it wet serve it like a little dry

Feda chili crisp tossed that's a hell of a combo foods sesame oils like Almost a little bit clashy with the Feda, but in a way that I think I'd really like it I think I would be all about yeah dude start start spamming chili crisp on stuff you'll be surprised Maggie one more my name is Ali and I am from Southwestern Virginia I have a hot take and my fiance thinks it's nasty I love a tortilla with some peanut butter on there, a banana, some sort of jelly and some kind of spicy crunchy element. Spicy chip or a fried jalapenos that you can get at the store.

Even in a normal peanut butter and jelly, I need some sort of spicy chip inside. Just wanted to know what your take was on that. I don't think it's that odd because there are so many spicy peanuts in dishes. Love you guys. Oh, oh, oh. I like this. This makes sense. The peanut butter is so fatty and the jelly is sweet

and the banana, you know, has that yummy banana. The starchy cakiness. Yeah, yeah, that funkiness. And then a little bit of jalapeno chips, the little ones that you get, you top on salads. I love that! What jalapeno chips are you talking about? Because you also said that like it was the thing I should know about. So I feel like I'd really love it.

So it's these things you can buy, they're like in a prepack, they're prepackaged. It's like the French's fried onions almost, but jalapenos? Almost, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like these flat jalapeno flavored like pieces of flour, I guess, that are just crisped up. Damn. And they're really good and I always have them on deck I throw them in salads. I put them on top of pizza. Sometimes they're really really good

You know, I love about what she did She did a thing that I I love doing where you're taking these foods and these assumptions that people have and you're almost breaking them Down into their like platonic forms It's like why would it be weird to put a spicy chip on this sandwich if you would eat happily a spicy peanut that is probably Using a very similar flavor profile to something like a spicy chip, right?

No, a little banana, a little banana-rito. That's a treat, man. You toast it up, get the peanut butter a little bit melty, slurp down that banana and now I'm gonna start putting a little bit of spicy chippy inside. I'm happy for you. You deserve to be happy.
