Get the Angel Reef Special at McDonald's now.
Let's break it down.
My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, of course.
And don't forget the fries and a drink.
Sound good?
Ba-da-ba-ba-ba.
And participating restaurants for a limited time.
This is a HeadGum Original. I mean, when you've got reviews like this.
And spy is warm.
And spy is rosy.
Review, review.
What's new with me is, well, glee.
Jeff is a storm.
Gabrus is cozy.
Review Review Review
Cozyness is something we're constantly trying to achieve.
Review Review Review
Are you in cozies?
The podcast, it shines.
What bliss.
Review, review.
What a weird way to start this.
With a lie?
We don't have a theme song.
Hilarious lies.
Like this.
The kind of thing where it's like an aquarium's like, you can adopt an otter.
And like the otter lives at the aquarium, but you're like, that's my otter.
And you wish it would eat that.
Everyone winks.
Jeffrey is nosy.
Review, review.
Number of sexual partners in your life.
Review.
We're talking full penetration?
Fuel brings the tapes and I'll bring the posy.
Review, review.
Give me the juice.
Give me the juice Mike's way.
One is lonely and two is boring.
Third host Murph, you keep ignoring.
Review. Your parents' divorce is going to be on one of the hats. Review. Murphy, keep ignoring review.
Your parents' divorce is going to be on one of the hats.
Review.
Every year, Denton picks exactly what I want to see painted me mine.
Nolan Murphy, more like unemployed fucker.
He couldn't think of anything clever and best when he has no job.
Review, review.
That was a Nolan Murphy banger.
Of course it was.
It was a company banger.
It was side by side.
That came in last year.
Are you serious?
That was going to say.
This was the theme song that he's been wanting us to play for like a year.
It's fantastic.
And I was going to say like those, I'm like, whoa, those are some deep cuts.
Yeah.
Like the aquarium episode. Like those are some some those are some deep cuts I'm sobbing
I'm fully sobbing I would be if my eyes would let me it was so it's so funny that that
oh my god I'm already crying it's so funny that that theme song it's so stupid Nolan I love it it's so stupid
it's so brilliant but I think
because it's from last year like
the timing of that is so
funny with all of those references to older
episodes and like Trenton and Denton
and like you know all that stuff
because this is our last
oh my god not our last
episode together but like our last
regular coming on doing a review
you know we're doing the two best ofs but yeah this is our last like normal yeah and you'll be
on like i'm gonna make you come on all the time but like it's the last one with you with just us
too and um yeah it's really crazy the news came out today yeah it's been it's it's it's really crazy. The news came out today. Yeah.
It's trippy recording this episode the day we announced it.
Yeah, it's really crazy.
But, yeah, I mean, we have so much time for reminiscing.
I know.
I know.
I know.
So I'm not going to do it yet.
I'm not going to do it yet.
But it is really. I'm so focused on, like, last one's got to be good.
So I'm feeling nervous. I haven't felt nervous on like last one's got to be good. Yeah.
So I'm feeling nervous.
I haven't felt nervous for one of these in a while.
That's so funny.
But yeah, so that's what's new really today is that the news came out.
And I'd say it's been on the whole positive responses.
I think it's been very positive.
Like people being like understandably sad, but like happy that it's been very positive like people being like understandably
sad but like happy for the future which is how i feel like yeah i'm same sad it's trippy it's like
also this show has we've released it at least once a week sometimes twice a week for three years so
like even hearing those old bits it's like i remember what i was doing when we were recording
those episodes i remember where i was in my life. And three years is long enough.
Like, this was during the pandemic.
We started this show in January 2020.
It's been almost three full years.
Like, that's a long time to kind of go through a regeneration as a person in that time.
And it's like, yeah, when we started this, I was, like, really sad.
And this show was, like, just with where I was in life at that point
and things that were happening in my personal life so like
this show really did get me
through the pandemic and
life feels very different
now and it's just weird to look
back on like starting this episode
the beginning of January 2020 and now ending
it basically beginning of January 2023
or at least me
leaving it's sad but I think the reaction's been basically beginning of January 2023, or at least me leaving.
It's sad, but I think the reaction's been positive with a bittersweet tinge,
and I think that's how I feel is I'm excited
to see the show's evolution,
and I'm excited to listen to the show,
like to episodes that I wasn't on.
Yeah, that's gonna be wild.
We've never done an episode
that hasn't included both you and me.
Like we've recorded sketches
where it's like, you know,
one of us either has COVID or...
Yeah.
I guess that's it.
But also, like,
I started doing the sketches
before you, like,
started working at HeadGum.
So, like, that was, like,
we've done different combinations of that.
We've never done Review Review
without both of us.
So I'm excited.
And it'll also probably be a little sad to like listen to an episode that i have no idea what happened on it but i think mostly exciting and then alf and i will have you on as a guest you'll
be able to guest which will be crazy yeah it'll be crazy um also alf is so excited i talked to
him today and like we're both just like it's very bittersweet and very exciting.
And like,
yeah,
I cannot stress enough how the show is very much not ending.
It's just review,
review part.
Well,
two.
Review,

review,
review,
review,
review,
review,
and Alf is so excited.
From everything I've been reading,
everyone's really excited about it continuing on with Alfred.
I think also,
like you and I said,
like,
and this is something we
didn't say last week but just how much thought we put into this transition in general but also the
selecting of the new host like uh i think what people are sad about is like losing our friendship
on the show and our chemistry but that also isn't going away it's just shifting like i don't think
y'all understand
it's so funny i had a conversation so alf and i um we talk on the phone i would say almost every
day maybe every other day um and whenever we talk we talk for at least an hour today we only talk
for like 20 minutes because it was just my drive home from head gum alf posted on his story today
he's like i'm excited yeah i saw that he's like i'm excited to take over jeffrey's job and also for riley and my phone calls to be come public and monetized um and yeah like the dynamic
i mean it's like you know every relationship is different jeff and i have our own special
chemistry and friendship but also alph and i have our own special chemistry and friendship and i'm
so excited to bring you guys into that because it's stupid and brilliant.
And I love it.
I'm so excited.
But yeah, crazy.
Surreal.
But it's not over yet.
We have three fucking episodes left.
So Riley, stop crying.
Because once we get drunk and record the best of episodes, then I can really let it rip.
We've got work to do. We've got work to do we've got work
we have some we have some improv to do today uh riley was like what should we do like it's the
last normal episode and i couldn't think of something better and more fitting than
i think it's the only staple that we've done three years in a row i get maybe haunted houses but i
don't remember yeah i guess we've done three Haunted Houses. Yeah.
But we did the third one, so.
We have our seasonal bits that we do.
Yeah.
And this is one of them.
This was,
was Nogspurt the first eggnog
or the second eggnog?
It had to have been.
I think the first one.
The first.
Mm-hmm.
Nogspurt Mouthfeel.
And that's a name.
And then he went into
tasting eggnog.
It's a name and a job yeah yeah you can't but it just
happened to work out that way like noxford no there's no way is mouthfeel like noxford
is his name and it just he just happened to fall into the job of tasting passion for that there's
no way nope that was it jeff between last year and now any eggnog experience
I think I said
this on the first one and maybe last one too
but like one of our
mainstay traditions in my family
is we make my mom and I make homemade
eggnog and then we all decorate the tree
so I'm doing that in like 12 days
I think or 13 days from now
are you excited to taste that sweet sweet
eggy cream on your lips? Well the eggnog
we make is kind of just like a big
milkshake like it definitely
has a little bit of that eggnog tang but
it's not like the store bought eggnog which I think
is just real eggnog. It's not that eggnog thang.
It has the eggnog tang but it's not that eggnog thang.
Exactly right. It is that thang
but it's not that eggnog thang.
But so you have to have
both. You have to have the James' homemade eggnog and then but so you have to have both you have to have the the james's
homemade eggnog and then you also have to have like i don't know clover i hardly know clover i
hardly know or i was just in sonoma and apparently clover is like a hometown hero to them oh that's fucking awesome you don't think that you don't think that that's not your truth i kind of appreciate the performative response
but i don't think that's the coolest shit i've ever heard actually would you say clover's huge
in sonoma clover's a hometown here for sonoma dude i want to like text five people i know and
tell them that uh i want i want you to text five people you know right now in a group chat saying Clover's Sonoma's hometown hero.
Eggnog wise.
Great.
And then first and last name of the people you're texting.
I'm going to do a group of three.
Is that okay?
Okay.
That's fine.
I'm doing Daniel Rashid, Elizabeth Valenti, and Robert Rashid.
Okay.
Hold on.
Clover is a hometown
hero. The hometown. Is the hometown
hero.
Of Sonoma. Of Sonoma.
California. California, yeah.
And then we'll hear their response. I'm not gonna
give any context. I almost said this is a
review review bit, but okay. And I'll
let you guys know as the responses come in. Elizabethabeth has been texting me about something all day and i have
not texted her back about it but i did send to her a clover it's the hometown hero of sonoma
california she like got mad she texted something didn't respond she goes okay cool i send so no
clover she'll be like what the fuck i don't respond to anybody ever. That's true. Until days later.
I feel really special because you respond to me.
It's either we're texting back and forth all day or you're dead for a week.
Yes, 100 percent.
Because I'm either not doing anything or I'm doing a lot.
But I used to be like, oh, I want to be better at texting.
And I'm like, no, I don't think anyone has to be.
We got Daniel reacted to the message with a question mark.
What's he confused about?
I don't know.
That's such a failed text when no text response, just a question mark react.
That's devastating to me.
But anyway, the TLDR is that I make my homemade eggnog and you got to also do store-bought.
But you can't go crazy because that shit will kill you.
Jesus Christ.
What about you?
What's in the last calendar year your eggnog experience?
I would say in the past calendar year, I have had nary a sip of that eggy nog stuff.
Really? the past calendar year i have had nary a sip of that eggy nog stuff really nary a taste of the tang thing has touched my tongue that surprises me you didn't have like a june gloom did i drink
eggnog in june did you like like if you drink eggnog in June, I would describe that as emotionally gloom.
That is upsetting.
Daniel changed his question mark to a heart.
All right.
I'll take it.
I'll take it.
Again, I feel like I've said this every year.
The concept of eggnog sounds delightful.
And it is.
If I have more than one sip, I will throw up, I think.
Really?
It's that thick stuff.
It's that thick, creamy goodness.
No, it's that thick, creamy goodness.
It's like, it's not a milkshake. There's a thing.
I love a milkshake.
Riley?
Don't talk to me like that!
It's that thick, creamy goodness!
Hey, Riley.
Riley.
Riley.
It's that thick, creamy goodness.
Come on. Isn't it? Say it. Riley. Riley. It's that thick, creamy goodness. Come on.
Isn't it?
Say it.
Riley.
Riley.
Look at my dog.
Riley.
Riley.
Riley.
It's that thick, creamy goodness.
It's that thick, creamy goodness.
It's that thick, creamy goodness.
But I am excited.
Like, I'm really feeling like I'm coming into a hot cocoa era.
Is that crazy to say?
I really feel like it.
I really feel like I'm coming into a hot cocoa era.
You got to relax.
Have you had any?
Not yet this season.
Right.
So you have to relax.
No, but I'm saying I'm coming into it.
Okay, okay, okay.
It hasn't.
And I think that's especially because I'm going to be doing the holidays in the Midwest.
And so it's been, I'm going to have a white Christmas, fingers crossed.
It's going to be chilly.
Well, it's going to be a white Christmas either way because of the Rashids.
Caucasian household.
I'm dreaming of a mixed Christmas.
Half Portuguese, half white.
You don't know where their shades are from
no i'm dreaming of a world where they're half
from porto uh got it from porto or puerto rico there's a different places
i said portuguese oh no i thought you said puerto rican no no All right. I'm not dreaming of that.
Got it.
I know all I need to know about you.
Should we, like... We should do it.
I'm also like, do I order eggnog right now?
But I...
It will not come before we finish.
I think it might.
I kind of have, like, three reviews.
I don't think that it will arrive before we're done recording.
Well, I'm also like it's December 6th.
And if I start drinking eggnog now, the floodgates are open.
I'm going to be drinking it like every other day for the entire month.
That is crazy to me.
No, no one can have that.
Right.
That's too much of that creamy stuff.
That, Riley.
Riley. It's too much of that creamy stuff. That, Riley. Riley.
It's too much of that thick, creamy what?
I'm going to try to hear your name.
Jeffrey.
Jeffrey.
Jeffrey.
What?
That thick, creamy goodness.
That's what I'm saying.
No, you don't get it.
I know it's that thick, creamy goodness.

Nogspurt Mouthfeel, five stars.
The title is Wish It Weren't Just Seasonal.
Do we have- This review is from March.
I liked using it as a coffee creamer.
Also liked using it with a little bourbon.
But not available except during the holiday season.
Perhaps a few weeks afterwards.

You hear like dry cardboard cartoning open.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
Not again.
Two eggnogs.
With a little bit of bourbon.
Oh, you are so silly, Lucas.
Can't wait to get sexy with you tonight.
Can't wait to get sexy with you tonight. Can't wait to get sexy with you tonight.
Oh, me too.
It's gonna be so sexy.
But you know what?
Drink up, babe.
Oh, oh, oh.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Before we get so sexy.
Before we get so sexy tonight.
How about a diff?
Oh, what if we had two little different Twinkies?
What if we had...
I'm like touching your lips with my finger.
What if we had maybe a margarita?
Or maybe...
My face drops.
Well, turn that...
I'm pulling up the corner of your mouth.
Turn that phone upside down.
Turn that...
Ooh, give me a kiss.
Give me a kiss.
What's wrong?
You love a margarita.
I don't know if I feel like doing Valentine's anymore.
What do you mean not doing Valentine's?
It's Valentine's Day.
Then why aren't you having the drink?
Can we sit down for a sec?
We've been standing all day.
Yes, what?
I love you so much.
These have been the best three months of my life.
I...
I just...
It's February
and the Christmas season
ended. It's February!
And we live in Boca Raton.
The eggnog only.
I know. But it's so
muggy.
Not as muggy as it's gonna be.
Putting your finger up too much let me finish
oh baby you can feel a dairy film it is consistently humid outside I want to get a
buzz on I want to get sexy I want to get sexy with you but but I would love a drink that isn't
dairy based please
I would love just like something refreshing
something that gets me jazzed gets me all
boozed up and
ready to have sex ready to have sex
with you on Valentine's Day
can we compromise
alright I'll cut the nog
with more bourbon it'll be
more watery for you
no that's gonna be watery
and bourbon is kind of like a warming
spirit and
also thick egg stuff. I don't, I just
want, you can drink eggnog, that's fine.
I just don't want one. They only sell this shit from like
Thanksgiving to this week, alright?
And yes, it's muggy outside, but this is
bokeh, alright? In July,
it's like walking through
walls when you walk outside. Right.
I don't want the nog then. I get it.
I get it. But before
we get all sexy,
I want to be full of
my favorite nog.
Which is egg. That's okay.
That's great.
I think it's awesome. Listen, I
don't have the stomach for it.
I don't have it. It's wet outside and have the stomach for it. I don't have it.
It's wet outside and I don't want it to be wet inside my body.
So I want something that's a little sharper, like maybe a citrus based thing.
You can drink it if you want.
I just want something different.
I feel like a, I look like a, I feel like a, I'm sorry.
I feel like a fat ass drinking the eggnog alone.
Jesus.
No, stop that. I love like a fat ass drinking the eggnog alone. Jesus. No, stop that.
I love how much you love it.
I've never met someone like you ever.
I've never met someone.
We've only been dating for three months.
I don't want you to see the ugly sides of me on Valentine's.
And if you don't drink the nog with me, my ugly side's going to come out.
Listen.
I'd grab your face with my hands it just feels like milk
listen oh my god i i oh my god i'm bashful now because i know it's only been three months but
like i've been wanting to say it for a while and i feel like now's the right time but i i love you
lucas i love nod too i oh oh i i know i love you i love y-o-og, too. I, oh, oh. I, no, I love you.
I love Y-O-U.
The way you feel about me is the way I feel about this drink.
And if you drink the drink, I'll feel the way about you that you feel about me.
I don't know if I heard you correctly.
It sounds like what you're saying is that you are only going to love me if I drink the eggnog, too.
But that can't be right.
You're exactly right.
But it's
not that I'm not gonna love you unless you drink the
eggnog. It's just that it'll expedite the process.
How do you feel about me right now?
If you had to say.
I'm halfway there. I'm halfway there.
The eggnog is gonna seal the deal.
The eggnog can be the final nail in the coffin of love.
And what if I don't drink the nog?
What happens then? I pooped you on the nose.
What happens then if I don't drink it?
Then I won't drink the nog, and then I'm going to spend Valentine's Day.
I'll be very sexy.
And then I'll fall in love with you in another six weeks.
Oh. Well, then I'm not going to have any eggnog.
I'm fine to wait six weeks if you're going to say you love me then.
Because it sounds like you already do.
I just don't want to say it.
And it sounds like you're kind of emotionally manipulating me.
But I'm not going to drink it.
There's no strings attached.
There's no strings attached.
It's truly just what will expedite the process.
I currently do not love you.
But I might in six to eight weeks, if I know my emotional timeline right.
And I think I do.
Are you okay?
Why are you talking like that?
You, I thought we were doing a thing.
We were doing a thing.
Are you choking?
I'm talking cute like this.
Oh, I'm so cute talking like this.
I'm talking cute.
My God.
Listen.
I do love you.
What?
Yes.
But I think there's a difference between unconditional love and conditional love, right?
I don't conditionally.
I don't love you at all yet.
I love you half of the way.
No, I'm talking about me.
Okay.
I'm talking about me.
I'm talking about me. Okay. I'm talking about me. I'm listening. It's like, until you did what you just did, I was willing to overlook the eggnog.
I was willing to overlook all of that creamy, thick stuff.
But that voice was tough to hear.
I don't have to do the voice.
I thought I was doing exactly, like, say something in your voice.
I'll match the voice.
Oh, I'm doing this voice.
Oh, I'm doing this voice oh I'm doing this right do you hear the difference I do but I'm trying so hard to literally match you
does that make sense yeah it does no don't like sigh that way because it sounds like you're like
starting to give up on the relationship I think it just like, maybe I don't know what love is.
Maybe I thought-
Give me one more shot.
Give me one more shot and maybe he sips with a dog.
I don't know what the right thing to do is at this point.
I feel torn.
Hey, just come here.
Come here.
Would you come here for a second?
What?
Leans in for a kiss.
The dairy film is even worse.
It's like creating a bubble.
When he pulls away, it's like a cheese pull of spit, but it's clearly dairy-based.
I think I'm going to end things here.
I think it's not going to go anywhere.
Kidding me?
I just want to of the voice.
The dairy stuff
is really hard
to look past.
I thought we were
gonna be all sexy.
Oh, God.
I thought we were
gonna have a little
sexy time.
I wanted to, like,
have a ton of sex.
After drinking the dog.
After drinking the dog.
Forget it.
He takes yours and his,
drinks them both at the same time.
Steps outside, gets taken away by a fork of mosquitoes in Boca.
Au revoir forever!
Now that's Boca.
Now that's bokeh.
Dropped into the mouth of an alligator.
Of course! Yes!
Let's take a break.
Thank some sponsors.
Whatever.
Get some cash.
Get some ass.
What's that?
And get some ass.
And get some ass. Yeah. Get some egg. Get some nog. What's that? And get some ass. And get some ass.
Yeah.
Get some egg.
Get some nog.
And we'll be right back.
Ourback.
Ourback.
That sounded like you said hour back
which I think is just a name
doing that voice that's the
cringiest thing I've ever done in my
entire life I think
I don't think so and I wore a fedora
on a cruise
what cruise line was that? Carnival
I was a child I thought it looked cool Carn that? Carnival. I was a child.
I thought it looked cool.
Carnival or Carnival?
Carnival.
But it was not during Carnival.
I would only ever go on a Carnival cruise during Carnival.
And miss Carnival on the Carnival cruise.
That's the only thing I would miss Carnival for.
Is it Carnival?
Okay.
That's what I'm saying.
This is five stars for 365 Whole Foods brand grade A eggnog.
Ew.
Sorry.
I was thinking of the nog.
Ew.

Five stars.
Objective Darren. The title, Me called him that. Five stars. Objective Darren.

You know, here at Food & Wine Magazine,
there's a lot of incredible, incredible contenders this year
for kind of like top restaurants, Michelin star,
all these incredible foods.
I mean, like groundbreaking culinary techniques
and experiences.
Wouldn't you say, wouldn't you say Albie?
I think there's one thing that stands out this year for me.
I think we both know exactly what it is.
All right.
Three, two, one.
George Perrone's new pop-up in Mexico City.
No.
Strauss.
Strauss.
Sorry.
I thought you would get it from that.
I thought we were going to say it at the same time.
Strauss extra thick creamy dairy dog.
We're on a panel this guy right all these chefs like oh classic this guy no all right so i guess i'll go first is like george perot like when he brought this
incredible really empanada centered pop-up um to mexico city it was really like kind of groundbreaking. Bad in comparison to Strauss. It was really bad
in comparison to Strauss. I had both.
Alright? We taste the
same restaurants. Who you gonna trust?
Who you gonna trust?
Me!
Listen, that's what you...
Fuck you guys! Obviously!
Raise your hand if you've tried Strauss.
Like
30 people.
Oh, okay.
And you guys think this George thing is better?
Everyone's kind of not.
Shit.
No, clearly Chef Alvy is playing a big old prank,
end of the year prank of the watch list for 2021.
No, but for real, man, like you have been around the world this year multiple times.
You've been traveling like crazy.
You have tasted some of the most incredible food that this planet has to offer.
I know.
And some of the chefs that you've tried are here today.
And I know everyone's on vated bread. And congratulations to them for me having tried their food.
Because I know that me doing that is a big deal to chefs.
Well, don't be an asshole, but it is a big deal.
I'm not being an asshole.
I'm just like shook.
And this is like my reaction to that.
I had a glass that was kind of frosted.
All right.
Someone had put it in a freezer so that it got all cold.
Into that glass
went the Strauss.
And it was topped
with just a pinch of nutmeg
and garnished with a cinnamon stick.
And that was better than any
empanada that I can have
in CDMX.
Okay? Because I'd rather have
Ian in my glass.
Everybody,
thank you so much for coming to this panel.
We are going to take a quick,
super quick break.
And while we are heading in the wings,
you know what?
I think actually Gordon Ramsay's here.
Gordon,
if you want to teach everybody
how to do
an omelette,
I guess,
we will be right back. We're not ending it.
We'll be out in a second.
Cut backstage.
I mean, obviously we need to talk about what happened.
Yeah, we do.
You're supposed to be interviewing
me. You're supposed to be making me look good.
I'm trying to.
Why not just agree with the eggnog thing?
Because that is an affront to what we do.
That is an affront to Food and Wine magazine.
That is an affront to every chef, all of their hard work,
all of the incredible, incredible food you've had.
Oh, bullshit.
These chefs are coming in here.
Bullshit.
Yes, they come in here.
It's a dick measuring contest.
Their mics are on and you see them in the arena.
Everyone's like, what?
First of all, they've all got small ones.
You know that.
Oh, stop it.
Why else would they be out of context?
That's an old wives' tale about these chefs, okay?
I don't know if that's completely true.
Well, I've seen a couple of them, all right?
You're having sex with them too?
No, we go to the same gym.
We go to the same gym.
And you know what I want after I lift weights?
Surely not eggnog.
Eggnog!
There's some protein in there.
What was the point of bringing that up?
That was me being completely honest.
That was me being completely honest.
Then you have just lied.
You know what?
It's going to make us look.
I have never lied on this channel before.
It is going to make us look like a joke.
No, it's not.
It's going to make Food and Wine Max look like a joke.
Guess who's going to be at the front page of CNN tomorrow?
Jeannie Moose or whatever her name is,
is going to do a piece on how food and wine magazines
must try dish of the year is Strauss Creamy Delicious Egg.
We're going to be a laughing stock in the culinary world.
We're going to make headlines.
And that's all that matters these days.
No, no, it's not.
Not all press is good press. That is a myth. that matters these days no no it's not not all
press is good press that is a myth if we have bad press it's bad press bad press is bad press
all all press is press bad press is bad press good press is good press okay and all fine dining
is fine dining it's all fine dining right some of sometimes you just want a thick that's true
i'm not agreeing with that no you went from... No, I'm not agreeing with you on that.
What are you saying? If I was like, oh, my dish of the year is this shitty
dive bar burger. That would be fine, but I can't say
that I enjoy a nice, thick, dairy glass of naan.
I think that is fine. There's a difference between, oh, I really like this snack,
I really like this drink, and this is the most groundbreaking dish of 2020.
Do you see the difference?
Can you at least hear that?
Can you understand what I'm saying?
Like, I fucking love Skittles.
I love Skittles.
I taste the rainbow every single time I have them.
I wish I could eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I'm a Skittle fiend.
Then write an article about that.
No, because that's
crazy. Because
someone at Vulture should do that.
Here at Food & Wine Magazine, I'm not going to do an
op-ed about how Skittles
are groundbreaking in the
candy world. I think
returning to the simple pleasures of life
would be groundbreaking for this magazine.
Because all we ever do is talk about hoity-toity
nonsense.
That's the first good point you've made all day.
What about Vogue?
What about Vogue? Doing a piece on, like, the merits of tighty-whities.
That'd be interesting to me.
I don't care about ball mane.
I care about as thick as you can possibly get it,
dairy in a glass.
Like, I want it to be, like, chewable.
What? Sorry, I want it to be, like, chewable. What?
Sorry, gentlemen.
We just, we were, your mics are on.
It seemed pretty obvious.
You can hear yourselves in here from the speakers.
But a lot of us were talking out there,
and we were just thinking, like, you know,
Chef Albie is right.
This magazine is, you know,
a lot of people might see it as elitist and not really helpful to cooking and food for the masses.
And it's not really accessible.
So why don't we make the cover story Strauss's extra thick and creamy eggnog?
I think it could really get magazines off the shelves.
Cut to the photo shoot day for the cover shoot.
All right, darling, and I just need you to be as thick as humanly possible.
Channel your inner Kim Kardashian, then.
He's talking to a court carton of eggnog.
It's giving me nothing to work with.
Editor, editor. Yeah. It's not me nothing to work with. Editor. Editor.
Yeah.
It's not even moving.
Can you just... I can move it for you.
Is there a specific position that you want me to put it in?
I want this to be the sexiest short of eggnog ever.
I want to see it come out as thick as day.
I want it to be as dairy as it's ever been.
Yeah, dairy.
You're writing down dairy as it's ever been. We dairy writing down dairy as it's ever been we are not
retouching i don't do that shit no retouching no photoshop just natural beauty of dairy and
thickness in a glass i couldn't agree more i know exactly what you mean shared vision the cover is like the carton is booksome the
carton has human breasts and is wearing a thong it's like pouring out of the carton and then
forms into the shape of a really of a lumpuous woman yeah food and wine magazines now in like the porn section at airports in like the plastic
sealed bag to cut to the waiting room of a sperm donation clinic um 14 guys all have the same
magazine tucked under their shoulder you know we we have some material to help you get going in the
room if uh if there's anything we can get for you.
Oh, no, that's all right.
I got everything I need right here.
A mom finds food in one magazine under her teenage son's bed.
What is this?
It's nothing.
Stop.
But it's food.
I want to be a chef.
Tyler.
What?
I just, I thought this was going to have to wait until we're older, but just sit down.
Oh my God.
I didn't even do anything.
It's Food Wine Magazine.
Are you kidding me?
A married couple.
They've been married for 20 years.
I just, I mean, you clearly don't even want me anymore
i do want you no i i got this i didn't mean to hide it from you it was just you saw it before
i could tell you that i thought maybe we could read it together to spice things up a bit okay
well i didn't know i didn't know i thought you would judge me for it i didn't know what you were gonna think hayley i would never ever judge you especially not for this this promise nog is normal all right
and it's separate from our sex life but we could also enjoy it together i would love to explore
that with you i really would love to open up our sexual world and experiences and enjoy the cover of the end of 2020 edition
of Food and Wine Magazine with you.
Cut to a punk dive bar.

Cast in euphoria the spillage of dairy
oh my god
is Angus Cloud's new roommate

yeah
liquid fluctuating dairy um all right still don't know my name
this is a five-star review from kathy this is of califia farms almond milk seasonal nog baits kathy bates five stars for those who have issues
with milk this almond milk eggnog is delicious well not as creamy as a real eggnog the flavor
is enough to give the holiday feeling add some libations and you won't really care well worth
the price anyway um what did you say your name was sorry Sorry, I've been talking forever. No, it's okay. I'm Sarah. How do you know Devin?
I know Devin through work.
That's awesome.
Yeah, yeah.
He's a great guy.
How do you know Devin again?
I definitely feel like I didn't get gouged, even though it's an alternative nog.
What did you say?
Sorry, what did you say?
Did you ask me something?
I was saying, how do you know Devin?
Try some of this. Try some of this. Hold it this oh whoa uh sorry i'm i'm actually i'm uh i'm
vegan uh this is vegan oh uh i guess i'm just not really in the mood for for that right now i'm good
i i what about it makes you not in the mood for it. What are you worried it's going to taste like? I don't really, I guess the flavor profile is not really for me.
It's also July.
It doesn't taste like the flavor profile you want it to not be.
You don't know what I, sorry, not to be rude, but it's like you don't know what tastes I like.
You know Devin.
I do know Devin.
And again, I don't know how you know Devin.
And so you're at his baby shower.
And that's why I was wondering. It's like how you know Devin and how you know Jamie. I met Devin. I do know Devin. And again, I don't know how you know Devin. And so you're at his baby shower. And that's why I was wondering.
It's like how you know Devin and how you know Jamie.
I met Devin at a focus group.
Oh, for what?
It was for Califia Farms almond milk.
I feel like I could have guessed that.
Yeah.
No, that was dumb of me to ask.
It's definitely worth the price.
What do you do?
I'm sorry.
Remind me of your name again.
Oh, my name is Lyson.
Lyson.
Lyson. That's an interesting name. What's remind me of your name again oh my name is lizen lizen lizen that's an interesting
name what's the origin of that name um well my mother was like when she named me she was like
well the truth is in this baby she was kind of what and she she said the truth was in me
and so she said the truth lies in the baby that was what she said to the doctor when
the doctor was like what's the name and so then my name legally became lies in but you can call me
lies um what truth is in you did she say haven't quite figured that out oh i'm not quite that's
quite a big undertaking that she gave you with that name, huh? Yeah, I've tried to not see it as some kind of destiny, you know, because it's kind of a lot of pressure for me.
Hard not to.
The truth lies in you.
If we could just focus on the drink that I'm holding, I really feel like it's delicious.
Sorry, I know we just met, but we got personal really quickly, and you tried forcing a vegan eggnog into me.
Not forcing, but yeah.
I just have to ask, like, do you feel like you are really attaching yourself emotionally to this drink
so as not to think about kind of the big life journey that your mother set ahead for you
by giving you the name that you have?
I didn't hear anything you just said because I kind of knew where the sentence was going.
So then I started to kind of tune into my taste buds in terms of the creaminess of it.
I think it's incredible to have a nut milk, which is essentially water based drink like
this kind of a dairy paste.
I'd love for you to try it.
I honestly, I, why don't you hear, I'll add some libations and you won't even really care.
Pour some bourbon in. I do care. I just don't really want to drink it. I honestly, I, why don't you, here, I'll add some libations and you won't even really care. Pour some bourbon in.
I do care.
I just don't really want to drink it.
What do you want then?
What do you want?
I want this conversation to be over.
Because.
Great.
Oh.
Nice to meet you, Lyson.
Hey, Devin.
Yeah.
Devin.
Can you come here for a second?
Yeah, what's up?
Yeah.
First of all, beautiful party.
Congratulations to you and Jamie.
Thanks.
I have to ask, Lysen, what's their story?
Her mom kind of named her a quest.
No, I know, I know that.
So then what's with the milk?
That's just kind of her current obsession, I think.
I met her at this focus group and she said,
this is going to be my new current obsession.
So that's what I figured it was.
And are you guys like friends?
We hooked up, but that's, yeah.
Oh, she's, yeah.
And Jamie's cool with Liza being here?
Jamie just during the pregnancy just hasn't felt very sexually,
um,
active.
And so she actually encouraged me to go.
Oh,
you had,
you hooked up with Lysen like recently.
It was,
well,
the focus group was like a month ago.
So I think it was like that weekend.
Oh my God.
It was good.
It,
well,
you know,
I don't need to do it again.
Not judging, you know, as long
as like you and Jamie are cool
with that. I will say
she had a, I shouldn't even say
this, but, you know, and I'm not shaming her,
but she had like a lactation kink and
it came out so thick that there has to be something
eggy about that.
And, you know, don't get me wrong,
like I was a good little boy. No, you know what?
Devin, I don't think, we don't need to, you know what? We me wrong like I was a good little boy no you know what Devin I don't think
we don't need to
you know what we are work friends
and I think that
yeah but we're not at work
right but it's gonna be hard
for me to go back to
FedEx tomorrow and work
behind the desk with you and
knowing that you said to my face I drank my
milkies like a good little boy
can you see how that's hard for me I guess so and knowing that you said to my face, I drank my milkies like a good little boy.
Can you see how that's hard for me?
I guess so.
Sorry, I thought we were closer than that,
but that's fine. No, we're not.
It's okay.
It's okay to make that mistake.
What is your deal, by the way?
Because I've watched you around this party.
All you've had is complaints.
Like, Liza's nice.
I'm having a beautiful time.
It looked like she was offering
you a drink of her eggnog no you you that might be what it looked like from the outside but from
what really happened is like she was like getting mad at me for not wanting to try it and that
doesn't sound like lizen well then i guess you don't know lizen because that's literally i barely
know lizen and that's what happened within like the first two minutes of meeting her it's just you kind of do this right like you go into things
with negative expectations i don't i'm a realist every time at work somebody comes in and says do
you think this will fit and they show you a box you're like probably not but we can try and then
we try them what happens and then it doesn't fit it's like 50 50 sometimes it does fit okay i think that scenario like sure
could i be a little bit more chipper at work and try to be more optimistic even if i know the
dimensions and i know it's not gonna fit that can be different than like i wasn't going into that
conversation with with lizen like upset i was like she seemed really cool like we started talking but
then within the first 20 seconds she said how do you know Devin
and then I started talking and then she said have you tried this
thing and then she was talking about all of the
aspects of this almond based eggnog
well you know what
you said you wanted me to set
you up with someone this weekend
I said why don't you come to my baby shower there's going to be a lot of cool people
there and
you know again
Jerry looks cool Jerryerry's hot jerry
looks like someone jerry jerry sucks jerry well i wouldn't know i haven't talked to jerry all night
i've been too busy talking with fucking lizen about almond beverages well go talk to jerry
and then tell me he's awesome fine that you want to have sex great hi uh jerry hi hi i'm sarah you're so gorgeous what oh my god you just gave me pause
for a second there oh my god she'll give him the holiday and you're like dude law um this is kind
of fantasy um you're british right yeah i'm from Sussex. Oh my god, this is incredible.
Sorry, no, I'm blushing.
This is going to sound really crazy.
I know we do not know each other at all.
At all.
But would you like to maybe get a drink with me sometime?
Sure, yeah, that sounds great.
Do you mind if the drink
is, you know,
me just with a little spot of brandy that
I spike a McDonald's Sprite
with because I'm sort of
couch surfing
at the moment. I'm
not quite interested in
well, anything
or anyone. I think you
are surface level beautiful and that's about all i care to
feel should we go yeah also my uh penis is sort of hard to see i will take anything i can get
right now i need to prove a point i need to prove a point so can we just like i'm gonna start
laughing like you've said something really funny and so so Devin can laugh. No, and my fear is that you'll start laughing.
So that's also why I want to sort of.
No, no, no.
I don't care.
No, I wanted to preface it.
You said you'll take anything you can get.
Like, it's not even possible for you to take it.
Does that make sense?
That's fine.
Right now, I don't care about that.
I just want to prove Devin wrong.
Because it's sort of the intersection of micropenis and impotence.
Right? So it's like, it's sort of the intersection of micropenis and impotence.
Right?
So it's like, it's already small.
And then I also can't get it up.
Does that make sense?
And then also we might mix the Sprite.
We might mix the brandy because I don't know if I like those things.
Lyson?
Do you have any more of that bourbon spiked whatever the fuck you're drinking they always come around
uh that's eggnog got it i don't care well no i wanted you to care no i just give me
some that's fine that's fine i care i care we're friends we're best friends
she leans in for a kiss nope No, just give me some. That's fine. That's fine. I care. I care. We're friends. We're best friends.
She leans in for a kiss.
Nope.
I misread that.
Yep.
Shit ass.
Drunk off that eggy stuff.
Drunk off eggs and rum.
All right.
Should we do another one?
This is one star.
This is one star. This is for... This is also for Khalifa Farms holiday nog.
Almond milk.
One star from Esther K.
Esther Kringle.
Esther Kringle.
Title is, worst tasting eggnog ever.
Dumped it.
I am Swedish and Danish who grew up on grandma's Swedish eggnog.
I saw this one. This excuse
for milk-free eggnog was
terrible. Stuff added to
insult
the palate. My grandpa
grew up in Skanskan,
and midweek dinner was always
eggnog, properly served in a
soup bowl with fresh-baked bread,
sardines, rye crackers,
and kippered herring for grandpa and me.
English grandma ate her English onion or tomato sandwich dinner.
Thus, I'm very particular about eggnog.
I make mine from scratch.
Yeah, listen, I'm not really a talker in lifts.
I hope that's fine.
But I'm sorry to hear that, I guess.
You don't need to be sorry about anything anything I think what it mostly goes to show is
the resilience of my family
honestly I'm just taking every wrong turn
I guess it just shows the resilience of my family
and how
even when faced with
impossible odds and hard
circumstances that we always find a way to make it work
not really impossible odds though right
because your family grew up in Sweden,
which is like a socialist country.
You guys have a lot of shared institutions where you're,
a lot of your needs are met.
I wasn't talking about that.
Sorry.
I should have been more clear,
I guess.
Or maybe you just should have listened better.
I was talking about like faced with impossible culinary odds.
Like when you have,
that wasn't clear.
When you have something like the Khalifa quote quote-unquote, eggnog...
No, don't get off the freeway.
Keep on the freeway.
Okay, and you're getting back on the on-ramp.
What the fuck was the point of that?
I guess it's just, like, it's pretty incredible when you have, like, such heart and determination
that, like, you can turn lemons into lemonade.
Or, in my case, you can turn eggs into eggnog by hand.
And not drinking that shit that you get at the supermarket.
Do you buy any of that stuff get at the supermarket do you buy
any of that stuff i so what are you saying are you saying like oh when life gives you lemons
like theoretical good things you make lemonade or sour things you make something better like
lemonade something sweet or are you saying just like when you get eggs you make eggnog immediately
because that's both are not that interesting but the second one especially that not everybody
can metaphorically turn lemons into lemonade and not everybody can literally turn
eggs into eggnog which is what me and my family do which is like i feel like really two separate
thoughts one was deeply unoriginal the other one was deeply uninteresting what's the usual reaction
you get if you tell a lot of people in your Lyft drives about this? You know, it's really funny.
Like, you're honestly one of the most special customers, like clients, I'd say, that I have.
Because, like, other people, when I start, yeah, no, it's okay.
When I tell this to other people, they'll, like, put in their headphones and they won't listen.
And that feels like, oh, my God, where's the sense of community nowadays?
But you, it's like, I feel like this is kind of the best response I i've had which also makes sense because the story is pretty amazing and so is my family i don't like
being in the same car as you like i yes my headphones aren't in but that's only because
i didn't bring any because most lift drivers don't talk to me this conversation's been bad
and i think that you have a false perception of yourself does that make sense are you i'm trying
to figure out i can tell that the gears are turning still
and you're not understanding.
One, I'm trying to figure out which way to go.
I'm just gonna take it right here and see what happens.
Go straight ass.
And I guess what else I'm trying to figure out
is like what part of the story is offensive to you?
I'm telling you that my family and I,
we make homemade eggnog
and we're pretty incredible at it.
And we're also incredible people.
You've actually never met my family and you don't even know me.
So I would just say like, hey, hey, hey.
Exactly right. I'd pull off.
I've never met your family. Are you kidding me?
Don't ever talk bad about
me or my family ever again.
Or I'll never let you get in this car. I didn't say anything about your family.
I'm just saying I don't know you.
I don't know your family. So why do I want to hear
about your recipes?
Go back onto the road.
I just start shaking my head.
Silent.
I'm sorry, man.
I founded this company.
It's like a financial, like, crypto thing.
It's called FTX.
And, um...
The whole thing kind of went belly up this week.
So I'm, like, on CNBC.
I'm on Mad Dog.
And, uh...
I didn't explain myself.
And...
I'm just really stressed.
So I'm sorry if I took that out on you.
My name's Sam, by the way.
Thanks for saying that. Sorry that happened to you.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah.
Do you have anything lined up for your company company or anything in the works for something next
well they're saying i might go to prison so that's not ideal um but you know the the company
probably has to declare chapter 11 so no plans for that one oh oh why do you ask no it's just
like i think based on that answer i can kind
of see the kind of person you are ultimately and like would i be safe to say that you don't make
eggs into eggnog like i'm sorry yeah your company went belly up so fix it like it's easy
so i guess it's just like i don't know why you're not trying
because my family and i were really resourceful people and so when something So I guess it's just like, I don't know why you're not trying.
Because my family and I were really resourceful people.
The SEC is down my ass.
Along with the IRS, which is already an underfunded government agency.
So the fact that they have multiple agents coming my way means that I'm probably going to prison.
All I'm hearing, Sam, are excuses, egg-scuses, egg-scuses. I want you to turn those egg-scuses into an egg-nog.
Why are we at the airport?
Because I'm taking you to Sweden with me.
Because you have a lot of lessons to learn,
and it's stuff that I don't think you can learn in the old U.S. of A.
No, take me to Sweden. Are you kidding me?
Get me out of this country.
I will take you to Sweden.
Only if you stay with me and my family.
Anything.
Yes.
Whatever.
Yes.
Please.
Thank you.
Cut to him with his family.
Oh, don't you know?
Who might this long lad be?
Sorry.
Sam, this is my aunt who's based in ireland but has come out to
sweden for the summer um gerta this is this is sam he feel my girdle do it sam um are you kidding me
oh it's cold oh there's a dairy film. There you go.
Now, Sam, that's your first lesson.
Never judge a book by its girdle.
Or you'll start to curdle.
That doesn't feel applicable to other things.
Okay.
Second lesson.
I'm going to leave you here with my family.
I am going to go back to the United States.
Must.
And I want you to come back in a year's time.
After a year, I think you'll have learned everything you need to know to get your company back on track.
He splits.
He like dashes out the door in exile.
I could just stand at the door watching him go.
He'll be back.
No, you don't have to say that, Aunt Gerta.
He won't be back.
Okay.
Because I called the feds, and they're...
What?
They're waiting a couple streets over.
These Days by Nico starts playing as he runs in slow motion,
and the U.S US government agents from the embassy
are chasing him
he's just like
sprinting like the Darjeeling Limited
slow-mo
they're tackling him
bringing him down.
He's in the foreground getting cuffed. The other guy's in the background shaking his damn head, but also smiling.
He and Gerta are drinking eggnog.
It looks amazing.
They cheers him
all right should we have time for one more let's do it it's a special app let's do it five stars from non-compensated reviewer oh god um pete just pete okay pete but it's p-e-e-t yep
five stars of hood golden eggnog once again perfect i'm pretty picky about my eggnog and
i still really like the taste of this one. Wasn't too sweet.
Nailed the perfect amount of thickness.
This was creamy goodness.
Hi, I'm Richard Kine.
You know, celebrities these days, they all have a gin company.
They all have a tequila brand.
And that's why I'm partnering with upstart egg
nog company creamy goodness to bring you richard kine's kind of eggnog
why are we cutting no i you know what i this i love the direction we're going in. I think maybe it might be a little abrasive for the brand, if that makes sense.
Like, Eggnog is like this silky, creamy, sweet.
The set, their on set, the full set is like this beautiful, lush, like off-white, cream, like gentle background.
It looks like a Dove commercial.
Right, and I don't know what doesn't sound soft and gentle about my voice. It's, you know what? Let's just try just, I want you to visualize
like it is soft to silky. And can you maybe try embodying that a little bit for me too? Maybe

it's hard for it not to just be
the news

episode as much as it can
we still have two more episodes
so
with Jeff as the host again I cannot stress enough how
this show is not ending if any of you
stop listening i will find you that's not a threat that's a promise
my what shook me all week long is drizzilicious mini rice cakes
when you're looking for a high volume low calorie snack are you reading fucking coffee right now are you these
are so good i found these at gelson's they're like these little like quarter size rice cakes
and there's s'mores flavored which is covered in marshmallow and chocolate there's salted caramel
drizzle there's cinnamon swirl and there's birthday cake and what i do is i keep them in my fridge and
then i snack on them like nobody's business and they're so fucking good

Yeah.
I'll end it on that weird plug.
That really, that was insane.
That, it feels like you, Drizzylicious to you are little chippy chocolate men to me.
Exactly right, yes.
I guess other than. what's been shaking you well other than this um what has been shaking me
what has been shaking me what has been shaking me um celebrity crush you ready oh my god it
wouldn't be a normal review episode without me talking about a new celebrity crush.
It's not a new celebrity crush.
So he and I, Elizabeth and I went out to dinner this week and we were talking about how there
are some celebrity crushes we have that like you forget about.
And then once you remember them, it's like, oh, the obsession is back.
Like they're kind of off when they're off the radar for a little bit and then they come
back.
It's like you get to experience that crush all over again.
And I'm deep in this one brother um christian borrell i met christian borrell what
uh in 2015 not in like a private setting it was like outside of broadway theater but
it was after something rotten me and my high school sweetheart at the time we were both in
new york and we went to go she took me to see that i loved it and then he came out and signed autographs and i like took a picture
of her with him and he was very nice i have oh god he talked to us for a second though because
brian darcy i'd seen brian darcy james on the subway and i went up to him and i said hey like
i just saw you in something rotten because i saw it it twice. And I was like, I loved it. It's so funny.
You're really good.
And I'm about to go to USC.
And he's like, well, and I was like, I'm going for film.
I want to be a director.
That my goals changed.
But is this Brian Darcy James or Christian?
This is Brian Darcy James.
Amazing.
And he was like, well, like when you're a big director to cast me.
So I don't think he would remember me.
But he remembered me the next weekend when we went to for a second time and rush ticketed it.
And then he said hi to me. And then Christian Borel borle because of that kind of talked to us for a little longer i am so jealous of you i have the biggest crush on christian borle and i have for a long
time like since i you know would you say that you're hard for the bard i definitely am i absolutely
am jeff oh my god him as shakespeare in something rotten
does something to me it really really does um so yeah so that's back for sure i found a spotify
playlist called christian borle can step on my neck um jesus christ he's also like i mean he's
not not attractive but he's definitely a weird looking guy you know me I guess so you know he's a little more of a deviation from that though I
feel like you're just really attracted to like average looking white guys and I feel like he's
not an average look I feel like a bizarre looking but it's also like his talent too like it's such a talent crash yeah
he has bde i would say boral dick energy
it's hard to be the bod
it's hard to be the bod baby it's so good good. That was good. I'm going to rewatch that performance once we cut this.
Yeah.
It's so good.
He's so good.
That was a good one.
I'll give you that one.
Thank you.
What a good celebrity crush to end on.
Again, I'd like to just tell everyone again, we're not ending.
Please keep listening to the show for the love of Christ.
They will.
The show's going to be better.
It's going to, the shackles are off, let's say.
It'll be best.
Be best?
It'll be best.
Someone on Twitter said...
I think that Alfred coming in is going to inject a ton of new energy and life into the show.
And I think the show's going to grow because new people are going to find it.
It's going to be best.
It's going to be best.
Someone on Twitter said, this is like beatles saying goodbye to ringo um yeah no that's uh you crying no he kept really good time and he is a good time

And I love doing it with you and Alfred So i'm really optimistic about the future of the show and
both of our futures and um i'm just i'm excited right in this moment i feel excited yeah it's
good it's it's like yeah it's gonna be sad once it hits but it is very exciting and i think that's
