I'm here with my co-host. Stupid one! Today's topic is Sweet Potato Pie versus Pumpkin Pie, and tell the people, let them know.

First of all, I'm a good person, okay? So you know for a fact That I pick sweet potato because ain't no way On God's blue marble That I'm gonna act like that I am going to be eating something that people car our faces too, okay? The only time anybody messes with that vegetable with that squash, okay? that. Okay, the only time anybody messes with that vegetable with that squash, okay, with that ground-dwelling, vine climbing orange vegetable is from November to December. People ain't thinking about pumpkin the rest of the year.

It's like, oh, pumpkin spice, pumpkin spice is not made for pumpkins, it's just nutmeg and other stuff. It's just the season that we put on pumpkin. And also we call it pumpkin spice, but I've had a pumpkin pie. The pumpkin spices ain't in that pie. The spices ain't good and don't act like, oh, they equal to each other. Oh, you know that we can't, you can't even tell. You can tell, look at who's at that party's at thk, thk, thk, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, the, the, thi, the the the thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, the, thea, thea, ta, toda'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a, toma, tha, tha, tha, tell you can tell look at who's at that party look at who's at this kit together okay whatever the majority is that's what that pie is that's what

that pie is I'll just say it I just say it okay and and and so my mother's allergic to pumpkin, right? Mm-hmm. And so we got a sweet potato pie from the store one time. I guess this was in Atlanta and the pumpkin wasn't selling. They had snuck the pumpkin into the sweet potato. Because my mother was eating it and she's like, my thrown it. I was like, wait, what? She said, what's the ingredient? She's. My throat itches. I was like wait what? She said what's the ingredient? She's like wait we cooked everything else and then she was like

what's the ingredients on that pot because he started trying to figure out what it was and these bastards don't snuck pumpkin into this good Christian sweet potato pot. So that lets you know that they're trying to hide pumpkin. This is the cheese you try to put to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they. they. I they. they. I they. they. they. they. they. they. they. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try They try this is the cheese you know this is they try to put the broccoli in okay just because you put cheese you put try to put cheese on the broccoli okay that's what this is. Stop making that face okay. I'm making I'm making that face because even in the example you're using broccoli is still a good thing. Broccoli is delicious what I'm saying is that a lot of people don't like broccoli. A lot of people don't have Brussels sprouts. Like my big in college, she doesn't like broccoli because she says it's like licking the Afro. I don't agree with that. I love broccoli.

Also, I have an Afro. Yeah, that's a genuinely insane thing to me. Like I kind of understand what she's trying to say, but you know at the time. It sounded crazy then. I'm 39. It still sounds nuts. Mm-hmm. But you know, that's Aaron Kennedy, okay? I was not here for it. So I'm saying is that pumpkin is so disliked and so undersold that they had to slide it and sneak it in as a filler in a sweet potato pot. Because a pumpkin was so good on its own it wouldn't have to slide it in there and try to to the their the the the the the the the the to to to to to to the the to to the the to to the the to to to the the to the the to to to the the to to thooom, to to to thoom, tooomch. I. I. I. I'm thoomch. I'm toe. I'm toe. I'm tooomch. I was tooomch. I was tooken. I was. I tooken. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I tot. I tote. I tote. I tote. I was. tote. tote. tote. tote. tote. tote. tote. tote. tote. tote. t. t. tote. tote. tote. tote. tote. tote. totged a pot. Because if pumpkin was so good on its own, it wouldn't have had to slide it in there and try to kill my mama. Listen, they should not have snuck in pumpkin into a pie that was not supposed to be pumpkin. I'm with you on that. Also, especially because people have allergies. What I will say, how many times have you been at a dinner? Have you been somewhere? And you look at the table. And like, you, you, you, you, you, the the to, the tip. tip. tip. tip. the tip. the the tuce, the the the tuce, the tuce, the the tuce, tuce, the told, told, the to, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, the the the to have, to have, to have, to have, to have, to have, to have, to have, to sn. to have, tooke, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, the table. And like you said, you said,

look at the people, you'll know the type of pie, but I'm saying, let's keep it on the pie for a second. Let's keep it on the actual color and hue of the pie. Okay. When you look at a pie that could be sweet potato or it could be pumpkin. You can't tell me you know with a hundred percent certainty which type of pie it is. You know these pies are very close. They're barely, barely, barely edging each other out. With homemade you can see the spices, right? Mm-hmm. With store bought, you'll still on a sweet potato pie, you can usually see the spicethe spice like you'll see a little bit of the spice right Mm-hmm, but store pot pies is very hard to distinguish between The two because they do end up being similar colors

But sweet potato pie is usually darker but because of the spices there are more nutrients in a sweet potato pot in sweet potatoes then there are in pumpkins now if some people try to say that there are the that. the, thi, the their their their that, that, their their that, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their spice. their their their their their their their their the spice, the spice, the spice, the spice, the spice, the spice, the spice, the spice. the spice. their the spice. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their spice. tie. tiea. tie. tie. tie. tie. thea. thea. tie. thea. thea. thea. thea. sweet potatoes, than there are in pumpkins. Now some people try to say that there are less, there's less sugar in pumpkin pies versus sweet potatoes, but I really feel like that has to go down to just the recipe because I don't, of course it's going to be less sugar in a pumpkin pie. A sweet potato is sweet. And also, if you're sitting up typing in what is a healthier pie? Um, yes, if you were, like, if you are, if you are at the pie section of the grocery store, right?

Right. to go to Google, which is the healthier pie. Just take a step back. Yes, if you were at the pie section of the grocery store and you go to Google, which is the healthier pie, just take a step back and realize it's all pie. It's all pie. So even if you grabbed an apple, you're getting some sugar, you're getting, you're getting some pastry, you're getting some very buttery base. Listen, that's why people on keto. I did not know that people on keto and stuff can't even have fruit. So what is that?

Because one of my friends just started keto and said that he can't have fruit, and why is that? I think keto is just Atkins, it's just South Beach. It's just one of those things. First of all, when I started dealing my first nutritionist back in 2018. It's like, you know what, just working hard to keep my neck. As you see, I have one. You hold shawl. You thought that girl was going to lose her neck in a panty dropper, in a pandemic, in a panasonic, in a panorama, in a pop eyes.

Nah, bitch. Anyh- thah. So I I put all my, wearing my minks, my chin chillers. We all know this is very, also just because you bring a mink doesn't mean you're right. Okay? Don't do this thing now in future episodes where you try to dress up and then flex as if you don't have to make your points and stuff because that's so disrespectful to show up not give me any warning right so already you don't say anything you just let me show up in a regular shirt but then you're like I'm gonna bring a mink this feels like when somebody invites you to a party and don't tell you as formal because there you show up in a mink and you start talking down to me about my choices and this feels like a setup. Listen first of all, this is from Torrid.

This is not a mink. This is very flammable. Okay. This is very flammable. This is what the kids call the faux fur. All right. I have, I've acquired real only because I was bullied into it, okay? This is just because of the lights and the equipment in this room,

you have to keep it chilly in here. Otherwise, I'd be buttass naked by the end of this podcast every time we do it. Mm-hmm. So no, I will judge you ina, I'll judge you in a wifey, okay? I will judge you in somebody else's t-shirt. So don't think, that me coming out here, oh you didn't even, and it's on the sl- on the sleeve, so come on, baby, just because I'm wearing my poncho. Don't mean that I'm not here for the judifying and crudification. I'm always here for the judgeifying to meying me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me that me that me that me that me that me that me that me that me that me that I'm not here for the judgifying and critification. I'm always here for the judgifying and a critification. You know that about me, Joshua, okay? That's why we are such good friends.

Could you try to act like that you're here for the judge and find a critification? But you know you are here for the judge and find out of it. Yeah, but I'm saying don't rest on your laurels, all right? Because I've seen it before. Sometimes it happens with rappers. I don't even know who she is. Sometimes. Oh my gosh. You're like, you're like truly a menace. So. So, it happens with rappers all the time, all right?

What do you mean? There will be rappers who really come through that first few albums and then they really get their money up and then they start wearing well and the music suffers, all right? Are you trying to say that my points are suffering? Because I was chilly? I'm saying they could in the future, all right? If we get into a pattern of flexing. Okay, that means that the next time we do this, I'm gonna have to wear my

my crystal fox poncho and dunk on you the whole time. Why would you make me do that? Why not let me sit out here in my fofowfowfofofofofofofofofofofofofo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo fo. this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this th. th. th. th. th. th th. th. th.

And I'm very excited about it, but don't think, don't think.

I'm very happy for you. Listen, I've got on a skims, bro.

I got three hooks on the broad. Last time I had three hooks on the brawl was the Clinton administration. What I'm saying is, just because your friend is out here wearing free, moderately priced clothing. Okay, this shirt, tourid, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thooooo-a, th, th, tho-sock, tho-sock, tho, tho, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the is theeeeeeeeeat-a, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, to Torred. So what I'm saying is, mm-hmm, just because your girl is trying to be wharm in my studio, okay?

Does not mean that I cannot be making valid points. I'm not saying it doesn't mean that you're not making valid points. I'm specifically saying, you know, just make sure you always come through with the With the same energy, you know Now girl, I'm drinking out of a soup cup that I punched a whole in for a straw so don't act like Honestly, it's the best way for me to keep it with my water intake. Oh, yeah, yeah, because you know exactly the size of the cup and, you know, I'm with you, and it's just fun. I don't know why I like it. I like the the the the the the the the the the same. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same the same the same the same the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. I'm the same. I'm the same. I'm the same. I'm the same. I the same. I the same. I'm the same. I'm the same. I'm the the same. I'm the the the the the the same. the the the the the the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the because you know exactly the size of the cup and you know I'm with you. And it's just fun. I don't know why I like it I like a good cup. But also yeah but also the the structure of the lid you can really like the tip. Right and so because I have like this very fancy color changing

like those really like fancy cups that they have like the double insulated. I had one for my birthday it would change colors and you like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like those really like fancy cups that they have, like the double insulated. I had one for my birthday, it would change colors and you put like something ice cold in it. And then one day it, I went to reach for it, it fell out of my fridge, exploded. It's like 15 bucks. This came with Wantan soup and it's strong as hell. Yeah, it's very strong. I can hear the ice from here

Yo my mom like I was like I think a year or two in the do and stand up Can I want to open mics and usually to make you change if you have a glass glass They make you change a plastic cup, but they let my mom keep her glass because it's my mom And this comic went up and he was bombing bombing and my mom was like twirling And this comic went up and he was bombing. Bombing. And my mom was like twirling. Just sitting there doing this. And this guy goes, am I getting heckled by ice? And my mother goes, yes. Yes, you are.

I don't remember who that comic is because I don't think I saw him again after that. I may even talk him a few more times, but yes, he got heckled by ice he was doing so bad. That's either the origin story of the next biggest comic in America or someone who just started to do a hedge fun work because they were like, this isn't for me, you know? Well, Brian, what happened? I went back and got heckled by frozen water. This is not the profession I need to be in. But... Yeah, yeah, anytime it's quiet enough that just the elements are at play. Bro, ice on glass. Whatever it's cold enough that you can just hear wind outside. John Stewart here, unbelievably exciting news.

My new podcast, The Weekly Show. We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. I want to get back to this topic at hand because this, this is like the State of the Union address, okay. I understand, and I also understand the history of why, of why sweet potato is a staple. I'm not disrespecting sweet potato pie. It's the ancestors, Joshua.

I'm just saying that the ancestors I'm saying for me it is a 49% to a 51% I love both of these pies. You give pumpkin pie a 51 but I will steal your shoes I still your new medical shoes. I am saying that it's slightly edges out for me. Tell me how. Tell me how. I think, I think that some of the sweet potato pies I've had, especially the ones that were homemade before, have had just not the right texture because just like pumpkin, sweet potato, if it's too, if it's too like soupy, if it's too, you know what I mean?

If it's too loose when it's going in, you barely have a pie. You've got like a bunch of thickened up soup in crust. Okay, if you're putting sweet potato pie in a crust and it's not like a batter? Because the batter's a batter and a batter we know will hold to a spoon. It's like you're talking to someone who one year I made between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I made 30 sweet potato pies. Oh, you told me about this. Yeah. Yeah. And my mother was selling them. Mm-hmm. It was supposed to give me the money or some of the money and then I never didn't get any of the money she said at one point I had an allowance but I never saw it. My mother bought me a hand mixer because I used to

make like cakes and stuff and my mom would sell them at work and then the money would somehow you just get reinvested in the cakes right so I was never th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was thin. the the thin. I was th. I was th. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I was. I. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. And, I'm to to to t. And, t. And, t. And, t. And, t. And, t. And, t. And, t. And, th. And, the the the the the the the would somehow just get reinvested in the cakes, right? So I was never paid for my labor, but you know, I'm a black child, so when it was, when I said make the cakes, I made the cakes, I made the cakes, right? And so I make cakes for the house or cakes for the friends, you know, you cook them up, I'm mashing straight sweet potatoes. I didn't like the masher wheat, like the, you know, like a sweet, like a potato masher got the big holes in it. So it wasn't doing the work that it needed to do to get down the context, the consistency that I needed. Mm-hmm.

I just had a little white plastic cup. And I'm just mushing and I'm just mushing, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, th, th, th, th, was, was, was, was, was, th, th, th, th, th, th. I was, the the the the the the the the the the the the the, I, I, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, they, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I made this before we had an electric mixture, so I just had two forks and a strong elbow. Okay, out here breaking these pies down and they were delicious, okay? I made, but yeah, it's probably between like 30, 35 pies between Christmas and Thanksgiving. And I was like, I still have to go to school. I was like, mama's a child late, but she said, well, I'm selling them at work. I was like, and I was one day, I was like, mommy sold her the pie? She said, yeah. I said, oh, how much did you make off selling the pie?

She's like, what do you mean? It's mommy. It's my allowance. Oh, we've got to make more pies. Okay. Wow. Wow. That's an early lesson in. Which was wild because like I'd have like,

like, theyme like, a couple of bucks. She gave me like, 35 dollars, but I'm just like, I'll they'd help, I was like, I don't know what it was. I think eventually she gave him like a couple of bucks. So then she gave him like $35, but I'm just like, I only made a dollar a pie. And she's like, you know, Christmas? Which is not actual reasoning, that's amazing. What is a black parent really gave you great reasoning on stuff before? I will say this is what happened to me, to explain so that you see where I'm coming from. Yeah, because I have like nostalgia, I've got flavor, this is a family recipe,

but I've also had other sweet potato pies, like listen, people in my family can cook, right? So if you're coming from an experience where people are making homemade pies that were either too wet or too dry or they're not doing what they need to be doing they're not doing what the kids say given what they need to give. I understand that you would have these instances were like I'm not particularly fan of this because a person experience like I to this like I to this to this day can't eat a runny egg. because they made us paranoid thor th or or or their or their they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they are they are they they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they they th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they are they I, to this day, can't eat a runny egg

because they made us paranoid of raw food. Yeah, yeah, that's true. So like, first was just a salmonella and eggs, it's like, you know, because long time for black people, we did, that's why we had steaks well done and stuff like that. But that comes from a history of us being sold the worst quality meat. So if you didn't have it cooked all the way, you'd get sick, right? Yeah. So I'm just now learning to get that this was out of a necessity and not because of this, like we, that's why we seasoned stuff because we didn't have the best quality meat. Also, that's just genetic. So I understand that you've had experience where you're like, so for me it's.

I understand that you've had experience where you're like, so for me it's... Hey, that's exactly it. It's like in life, I've had great homemade sweet potato pies. I've had good store-bought sweet potato pies, but I've also had bad sweet potato pies. So far in my life, even though it doesn't quite, it doesn't quite out-edged the best sweet potato pie I've ever had. I've never had a bad pumpkin pie, mainly because they've th, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, th, it's, th, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it's, it, it's, it's, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it doesn't quite out-edge the best sweet potato pie I've ever had, I've never had a bad pumpkin pie, mainly because they've been store-bought, but I have had some homemade pumpkin pies that were good. Okay, so you've had more homemade pumpkin pies. Yes.

And, okay, because you know, it had, mmm, it hit wrong a few too many times. You want to talk about a runny egg? Yeah, if you cut into a pie like that and it there's any type of liquid. And it gives up. Yeah. I can't say the thing that always confuse me about sweet potato pies is that when you make a sweet potato pie, because like a blender or something, there are strings in it, it's a fibrous vegetable. I've never understood a lot of times when you have the pie, where did the strings go? I guess they just cook out or...

Well, I think they just really get as close to dissolving as they can. I know, but that was the thing that I was confused me as a wee girl and as a grown adult lady. Also I think I'm confused about pumpkin pie because I've just never enjoyed the flavor of sawdust so I guess I just can't quite understand what? Wow. No no no no no no no, no, no, no. No what. No what. You know exactly what you did. You would be looking up like that if you didn't know what you did. A real what is like, what? You did, what?

What? What? No, no, no, it's fine. What is it?

Not always not always always. So some of them do.

Some of them have like a special, you know, whether it's topped with a little bit of whipped cream and then some pumpkin spice on that cream or whether they topped the entire pie with the spice. It's not supposed to be topped with spice, it's supposed to be mixed in. No, it is. It is. You're not wrong. I'm just telling telling telling telling telling telling telling telling telling telling telling telling telling telling the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the spice.

Now what I can't listen, what I really wish we could debate, which I don't think we'll ever have enough people to do, is a sweet potato pie versus a bean pie. That I, yeah, I don't know if we'll ever really get there. Because I, first of all, I'd have to eat both in the same week or day to really like fresh, refresh the pallets' memory. And then we'd also have to really go in.

One second. Are you getting a fax? What the hell was that sound? That's the, uhthe door for my apartment. Oh. I was like, Josh getting faxes over there. They're doing real business. You know, maybe one day.

Maybe in the future if we're blessed. The last time I sent a fax to the time sheet to work. Because I worked for a tip agency. You had to get your time the the time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time the time the time time time time the my time my my to to to to to to to to to my apartment my apartment my apartmented apartmented apartmented to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to my apartment to my apartment my apartment to my apartment the the time time time time time time time time time time time time time time the time time time time my apartment my apartment time.s my apartment time sa my apartment time.s my my time.s my apartment my time I sent them faxed in 2010 I was trying to send in my time sheet to work. Because I worked for a tip agency. You had to get your time sheet signed. And then there were just every Friday there were just somebody who would round up everybody's time sheets. And then we have to go get them signed and then fax them. And I'm like, every time going, we doing this? Or sometimes like, well, don't fax them, just scan them into one file. And I'm like, why? Yeah. Everybody knows, I logged into a system to fucking be here. Why am I faxing anybody? The fax machine was also kind of cool when you think about it. Because it was just like printing at someone else. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Like, I remember we had like, we used to be able to get a printer, Yeah! Yeah. Like I remember we had like, we used to be able to get a printer fax scanner. Mm-hmm. You would have a fax machine at your house. And I was like, I don't know why we need this. But we're gonna need it. And when we do need it, it's gonna be great.

Because my mom used to work at Kinko's and so many people would come in, don't know what we are talking about that means you are probably under 32. Yeah. Wait Josh how are you? 32. Hey right on the line baby! Joshua just made it. He might even use the rotary phone before. Not not everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday?

Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Well, we want to kick this to you, the listener, all right? I listened. I stayed on task, didn't I? Because you never proved all it was better. All you said was I've had bad homemade sweet potato pies, so pumpkin is better.. th. th. th. th th. th th th th th th th th th th th th them them them th them th to them to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi the to to to to to to to to to to them them them them them them them them them them th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th to to to to to to to to to to to th to to the the the the the the the to the to to to to to to to to theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee thee the th you never proved all that was better. All you said was, I've had bad homemade sweet potato pies, so pumpkin is better. Yeah, that, at what point were we supposed to come through with data, all right? I'm just saying, that's a weak argument.

Usually you could, you, that's a weak argument. They look almost identical. They have the same texture, all right? That is not true. The texture of a sweet potato or pumpkin pie is the same. You know how to Fred in college you wouldn't eat uh, like apple or peach or anything like that because she didn't like cook fruit. This is all the sort of same girl that said a celery's just crunchy water. So. She's a real country too.

I never understood. Yeah. She was a black girl that was so country that she wore Dixie outfitter shirts. I don't know if this person is an innovator or has been left so far behind. Like this is, this is someone who either need to be researching and taking notes from or we need to be researching and avoiding the thoughts of. I can't tell you that her name is a confrontation of her mama and daddy's name. So whenever you get one of them situations, then I hope she's doing well.

Hope she's living the life she wants to live, serving the God she wants to serve. I just was like, but apple, a pumpkin, listen, I do have a quick question though. How do you feel about Cobbler? You know what? That's a different episode. All right. That's a different. Okay.

But I can say that I think this hits home on, I think because sweet potato pumpkin pies, because they come out when they come out, right? Especially pumpkin being the one trick pony that it is. You know, getting your little jabs in whenever you can I'm sure it feels good sitting up there with your minks all right. No no no I get it. It's called a Fink thank you. Okay. Fo Ming a think whatever you want to call it. I see I see you thii. I see you to'c-fink. Okay. Fink. Whatever you want to call it. I see you I see you talking down on the pumpkins. I see you. I see you. I see you. I see the the th. I the th. I th. I th. I th. I the th. I see I see you there. All right. I see you talking down on the pumpkins I see you And all your hubris are

Hubris it all right It all of your hubris like you can't possibly be wrong. The sweet potato out here living a year-round life, okay? They are doing so much with the sweet potato. They're turning it into chips, okay? They're we are roasting them. We are making them a summertime salad situation. The sweet potato is out here doing the work that pumpkin could never do. Okay, there is this. How about maybe pumpkin is out here once a year because it's not common, it's not cheap, okay? It's a selective, it's a selective, it's a selective tree.

No, okay, you have to, listen, you can't keep bringing up the spices, you can't keep bringing up the spices, because pumpkin spice is not made out of pumpkin, it is made out of pumpkin. It is made to season pumpkin. What's used to season the sweet potato? Nutmeg and other regular things that you put in a pie. So I feel like this is a moot point as far as the sweet potato is also getting spiced. We're going to see what's in pumpkin spice, all right.

Pumpkin spice, I also know what known as pumpkin spices an American spice mix Commonly used as a flavoring from pumpkin pie, but does not include pumpkin as a ingredient Mm-hmm. There's no pumpkin in it. So it's generally a blend of ground cinnamon nutmeg ginger cloves and sometimes All spice okay now do you are you because basically a lot of those spices are the same ones that go in sweet potato pie? the tip? the the toy? the ta. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the ta ta ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. tas. tas. tas. tas. tas. ta. tas. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. the the the ta. those spices are the same ones that go in sweet potato pie. So if the spice profile is the same, then what's giving you the flavor is the actual vegetable itself. Because at the end of the day we have to remember, these are vegetable pies. Yeah, yeah. pick it somebody sat up and was like okay that vegetable with the because there's no regular potato. We're not doing this with a regular potato. Mm-hmm. We're not doing this with butternet squash.

We found whatever works. Rubarb is just red celery and I'm still not sure what we do with that. Because we're doing the same spices, that means that is the flavor of the sweet potato or the pumpkin itself. And I think you know it's delicious. I think I've made my position clear. I'm not saying one is trash and one is amazing. I'm saying that it's slightly edges it out for me because of my past experiences. And now I want to hear from you the listener the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the sp th.. th. that. that. that means that means that means that means that means th. that means. that that means that means that means means means means. that means means means. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that means means. that's that means. that's that means. that's that's that's that's that's th. th. th. th. th. th. the same. the s. the s. the s. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the s the th. the the th. th. the the the the. the the. the. the. thea. the. thea. thea. thi. thi. I'm saying that it slightly edges it out for me because of my past experiences. And now I want to hear from you the listener. What do you think? Do you go pumpkin?

Do you go sweet potato? All right? I'm not going to judge you and act like you're crazy for picking either one. This isn't a situation where Dulce and I are diametrically opposed. I just say that's thirty the thuuuuuuuuuuuuuu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thooooooooooo. theeea. thoooooooo. thu. thu. th is how I feel. I think pumpkin pie is awful. You like both of them. Yeah. That's where we are. But I wasn't we're not at a thing where we both think the other ones is trash is what I'm saying. We've had much more heated debates about the thing than this one, you know. There are things that you like that I hate. And we've proven that you were wrong on all of those fronts. Grills are trash, all right? Grills are terrible.

Why are you going against people who are blessed? The chain is perfectly fine. Show the people you're blessed without having to, you know, open your entire mouth. Oh. Yeah. Listen. Mm-hmm. How better? There's so many ways to display that you're doing all right.

There's nothing. Listen, the best part of the grill is the fact that it's removable, okay? It's not a permanent gold tooth. This is an uncle in the 80s, all right? You're not selling crack, destroying your neighborhood in a new leather jacket and a BMW? No, what you do. A chain is even more easily removable. I've seen grills get stuck.

Listen, we were in chains for so long, Josh. Wow. Wow! Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, I'll actually agree with that. But people who were like, have that argument against chains were just like, I would never wear something that would buy me. You're like, bro, shut up. If you're broke, you're broke. Don't act like that you don't wear a chain. That's a big Brooklyn thing.

That's a big, they'll be on the intercom in in Brooklyn talking about, they had us in the chain and now you want to buy the chain so you can wear the chain in front of the people that put us in the chains, right? And it gives me the same energy as like, look, if you want to try to to do, what you have to lay down? What you have to put in that time? You have to put in that sweat. The chain is made of sweat, all right? Sweat poured together turns to gold because that's the grind. Damn it. Yeah.

I gotta make sure that I don't say anything. Yeah, you just tee it me up. Every episode you've been really candid and over. So what sweet potato things? How can I grind? To turn these sweet potatoes in a diamonds Joshua. Tell the people. Tell the people how they can be out there using these pies. Look, let me tell you something if your sweet potato pie is not turning to gold, you haven't put the oven up high enough, okay? All right? And if you can't put your oven up any high, you need to grind till you get a better oven, until you get that stay-at-the-art till you get that new-new, okay?

This makes me so sad. I don't understand why people are out here still asking these questions when the books already been written. I hate this guy. No, just grind, just work and it'll all work out, okay? This new Josh has too much power. Oh my God. Listen, I know this is a highly contentious, highly debated, cultural argument in these

here United States of America, but just know. Stick with your people, okay? Stick with your people. If you out here, supporting sides, you know you have no business supporting that's between you and your mama okay but just know who you are where you come from and make sure you support the right side you can have your opinion you can think what you want to think but you know what you're wrong and just so you know you can you can be your people, you can love and support your people without going with the herd, okay?

So if you, if you had a situation, if you had a situation in life where something did you a little dirty and you don't love it as much as other people, that's okay too, all right, that's all right too, okay? If you, if you've been done truly dirty by a pastry and you don't really love it the way that other people love it, you don't deny that it's good, you just say, hey, I'm out here, I've had different experience, all right? I'm saying I respect that. Maybe my experience comes to the fact that pumpkin trying to kill my mama, okay? And it's been out here trying to kill my mama since they were. Yeah.

So we just want to thank you for listening to hold up. Yeah. Yeah. We're the only truth tell us in the world. We're the only ones talking about what needs to be talked about. Pumpkins, plantains, lasagna. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, we, we were, the the they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they,, lasagna, okay? We're the only ones telling people why club bangers are better than anything that's out in the streets right now. That's not what we said. That's not what we said as a whole.
