So, let's do this people. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. All right, before we get into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world. Well, actually, this entertainment news is from out of this world. Tom Cruise is planning to shoot scenes for a new movie

from the International Space Station, which, good for him. He's finally getting to work a little bit closer to his home planet. This is nice. It's all about that work-life balance. No, but seriously, people, Tom Cruise stays winning. He's one of the greatest movie stars and stuntmen. He's doing things that no one has ever done before, just success after success. So, maybe Scientology is right?

I don't know, I'm just putting it out there. I'm just putting it out there. In other space news, remember how NASA slammed a spaceship into an asteroid to test whether they could change its course? Well yesterday they officially announced that it was a success. Yeah, yeah. The asteroid wasn't actually headed to earth and they hit it and now it is. So good work everyone. Yeah, you just clap for us dying. I'm not really sure this was all necessary though, like to send her, like a vessel up to hit the asteroid, you spend all that money.

Like if we're honest, one immigrant mother could have done the same thing just by holding up a slipper. That's all she needed to do. Just be like, come to Earth and see what happens. Yeah, that's right, turn around. Turn that asteroid that asteroid that asteroid that asteroid that asteroid that asteroid that asteroid that asteroid that asteroid that asteroid that asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid asteroid that asteroid that asteroid a asteroid a asteroid a asteroid a asteroid a asteroid a that's right. Turn our round. Turn that, turn that asteroid around. In sports news, NFL star, DeVante Adams of the Raiders has now been charged with misdemeanor assault for shoving a sideline photographer on Monday. Yeah, luckily the photographer was attended to by NFL doctors, so he'll be fine. I mean, he died, but the doctor still came to play next Sunday. They said the game must go on. All right, let's move on to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 the the 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 their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thoom. In. In. In. In. In. In sports. thea. th. tipa. th. th. th. th. th. thea'n.n. In.n. In. In.n. In. In. th. In. to by NFL doctors, so he'll be fine. I mean, he died, but the doctors still came to play next Sunday. They said the game must go on.

All right, let's move on to some of the biggest stories of the day. Starting off with a major story about the gig economy. You know, the gig economy, the reason your tinder date had to make for are technically not their employers. But now, America's most famous employee might be changing that. All right, a potential game changer for millions of gig workers. The Biden administration proposing a new rule that would reclassify millions of them as company employees. The new rule could have wide-ranging impact on profits at Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and other companies

that rely on contractors. With that employee label, workers would be eligible for protections like a minimum hourly wage, overtime pay, jobless benefits and workers come. Wow! If Biden gets this done, it's going to shake up the world of apps completely. Because you realize right now, the reason delivery and car apps can take in billions of dollars is partly because they don't technically have employees, which is great for them. It's the same way some people aren't technically in a relationship, but they still get all the benefits.

Yeah, they get the sleepovers, but then they don't have to take care of you when you're sick, you know? It's just like, oh, I'm sorry you're not to smash, bye! But what Biden is suggesting is that these companies have to give their workers the benefits that employees would get. And I know that you'll agree with me, no one deserves it more than them, right? Because these people are hard workers, they're driving everywhere, they're biking, they're delivering, they're task testing our food before it gets to us. This is hard work. So this is a big step for a lot of people in the gig economy.

But don't forget there are drawbacks to being considered an employee. Yeah, like for instance people singing you happy birthday at work. Yeah, you'll love it initially but once they start on the, how old are you now? How old are you? You'll be like I have health care. 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. thi. thi. thi. thi's thi. 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. T th. T th. th. T th. th. th is th. th is th is thi. they's is they's is they's is 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 thiiiii's is thi. thi. th start on the, how old are you now? How old are you? You'll be like, I have health care, but at what cost? All right, let's move on to some news about the midterms. The reason your inbox is now full of emails with the subject line, send me $4 or I'll kill myself. Let's catch up on some of the tightest races in our ongoing coverage of Vote Demick 2022. Right now, any single Senate race in America could determine which party could take control

of the Senate, giving them the power to get nothing done for the next two years. And few races are closer right now than the one in Pennsylvania. On the Republican side, you have Dr. Oz, famous TV doctor, and proof that even Oprah makes mistakes. And on the Democratic side, you have John Feterman, former Lieutenant Governor, and dude who's just going off in the Marsh Pit. This race has hinged on a number of issues, like crime, abortion, and the fact that Dr. Oz has only lived in Pennsylvania for less than two years.

Which, is that even a real Pennsylvaniaan? Has this dude even been in a fistfight in a Wawa parking lot yet? But now another question has begun to take center stage in the race. John Fetterman's health. Back in May, Fetterman suffered a stroke. And even though he's been back on the campaign trail, he still hasn't fully recovered. And now his first major interview since the stroke has everyone talking. Can voter stress that you will be able to do this job on day one? Yeah, of course. This is Pennsylvania Democratic Senate

candidate John Fetterman's first in-person sit-down interview since a stroke sideline him from the campaign trail for months. That auditory processing where I'll hear someone speaking, but sometimes it'll be precise on what exactly that they're saying. I use captioning. His campaign required that he be allowed to use a transcription program on his computer during our interview. I always thought I was pretty empathetic, emphatic. I think I was very, excuse me, empathetic. You know, that's an example of the stroke, empathetic. I always thought I was very empathetic before

having a stroke. But now after having that stroke I really understand, you know, much more kind of the challenges that Americans have day in and day out. So yeah, this interview came out and now obviously you've got people on the right saying Federman forgot a word and he can't understand speech so he's not fit for the Senate. And look, this is politics. So I get it. People will jump on any weakness to give their party an advantage. I understand that. But let's be real people. If stumbling over a word every now and again disqualified you from politics, America wouldn't have had a president for the past six years.

Huh? Let's be honest. In fact, at least Federman acknowledged that he messed up the word and he corrected himself. Yeah, Biden wouldn't have noticed, and he would have just, uh, Negroes, man. And Trump, can you imagine Trump? Trump wouldn't have even acknowledged that all. Like, Trump would have tried to convince us that he actually got the word right. He'd be like, I always knew that I was emphatic, and also empathetic, I was emphatically empathetic and so emphatic about being empathetic. Emphatic about emphazima.

Do we love emphazima, folks? We love it so much. And also, as for needing to read captions because he has a troubled understanding of speech now, I don't know. Is that really a deal breaker? In fact, if you ask me, I think America needs more people in politics who actually.., tha.., that that that that that thi., thi. that thi. thi. thatheathea, and thatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheathea thatheatheatheatematic about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about to to to to to to to to to to their, their, their, their know. Is that really a deal breaker? Huh? In fact, if you ask me, I think America needs more people in politics who actually know how to read. Maybe that's just how I see it. If anything, if anything, needing captions, is super relatable these days. Yeah. Have you tried watching House of Dragon without

captions? It's impossible. I mean, half the characters have the same name. Agon. Tell Amon to get Renera to one Rennerus about Egon's dream, but don't tell Vesarius, he'll gel justserious. Did you get that? No, I didn't. I don't know what that was. So look, good look. I'm not vouching for Federman over Dr. Oz or anything like that, but I do think this whole debate is veering into the territory of saying that people with disabilities cannot be lawmakers, which is trash, all right?

Especially since America already has disabled lawmakers serving right now. It shouldn't be disqualified. Right? Dan Crenshaw is missing an eye. Tammie Duckworth lost both her legs, right? And Mitch McConnell, he's literally melting all the time. But has he let that hold him back? No! He gets up every day and he bows to keep on working until the moment his face slides right off of his skull. Oh, that's right. Every night I tie my skin into a ponytail.

Ma'a. Now, even though the Senate is getting the most attention, there's also a heated race for mayor of Los Angeles, where Congresswoman Karen Bass is facing off against real estate tycoon Rick Caruso. And in their final debate last night, there was one moment that got everyone's attention. And it's when the moderator mentioned that Karen Bass is a person of color, and then Rick Caruso said, uh, me too. And this question goes for the both of the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to you the the the to the to the the to the to to the the the to the the the the to the to the to to the to to to to to to the the toe, toe, toe,then Rick Russo said, uh, me too. And this question goes for the both of you.

The next mayor of Los Angeles will be either an African American woman or a white man. I'm Italian. Italian American. Thank you. That's Latin. Thank you. Latin. You're Latin? Get the f-f-a'-a'-a'-man, huh? What is that? What is that?

What is that? We all know what this is about, right? This guy's running in Los Angeles, so now he's saying, I'm Italian, which is a Latin language, so I'm basically Latino, right? This guy's running in Los Angeles so now he's saying I'm Italian which is a Latin language so I'm basically Latino right? And look I'm not I'm not claiming to be an expert but if you tell someone you're grabbing Latin food I think they'll be pretty pissed off when you come back with olive garden right we can all agree on that. So I think we can all agree that Rick Caruso is just just bullshitting here because I promise you when he gets pulled over by the cops, he's not like,

Ola officer, what is the problem, Signor? What's funny about this whole thing is that when they came to America, Italians weren't considered white, but then they fought for like a hundred years to change that. Yeah. And let's be honest, any debate was definitely over by the time the Mario trailer came out last week. Yeah, because Chris Pratt is out here like, it is I, Mario. So the Senate races are heating up, the mayoral races are heating up, but it turns out even in the animal kingdom my friends, elections are being fought tooth and nail. An update on Fat Bear Week.

It's the popular bracket that has been rocked by a big cheating scandal. So each year, people vote on the beefiest bear in Alaska's catmate catmine national park before hibernation season. Well, the national park tweeted, quote, like bears stuffed their face with fish, our ballot box too, has been stuffed. There were thousands of fake votes for Bear. their. their th. th. th. th. It their face with fish, our ballot box too has been stuffed. There were thousands of fake votes for Bear 747, but even with the fake votes removed, 747 weighed in at 1,400 pounds and still won the semi-final round.

Now 747 will face off against Bear 901 for the final round. Voting start this morning. Yes, my friends, it appears that a voting scandal has the dignity voting start this morning. Yes, my friends, it appears that a voting scandal has tainted the dignity of Fat Bear Week. And don't you dare laugh? Don't you laugh? If we cannot trust the sanctity of the Fat Bear vote, then what can't we trust? I honestly don't understand this? Who would even care enough about a fat bear election to try and cheat and stuff the ballot box?

Who is this person? Who's like, oh, I've got to rig this. Why? The fattest bear doesn't get any power if it wins. That's not like a bear is going to win the election and then cut taxes. Wow, I use my claws to cut the zoning laws. What are you doing? And by the way, I feel like this story is almost the perfect encapsulation of American culture. All right? Because when other countries engage with nature, there's a reverence. You know, it's like, the mighty brown, wary of the coming chill, hunkers down for the winter

months. But with America, it's like, look at this chunky, I look at him. He's so chunky, I just want to, whoa, oh, dude, oh my god, oh, he just ate my arm. Take a picture. All right, that's it for the headlines, but before we go to a quick break, let's check in on the stock market today. the finance expert, Michael Costa, everybody. Michael, what is happening in the market today? Well, like a fat bear on a scale, I'm crushing it, everybody.

I mean, and I got a hot tip for you, all right? You got a hot tip for you, but before we get into this, fat bear week. You know, here's a question. Why are people voting? And we have the information from the scale. Doesn't that tell us who the fattest bear is? Am I the only one watching this story? We have a scale.

The scale tells us who the fattest bear is. There's no need to vote, okay? Oh, officer, officer, I know your radar gun says I was going 100, but can we just take a vote on this first? I mean, come on. Let's call it what it what it what it the it the it the it the it the it is the it is the it is the it is the it is the the the the the the the the the the the tell tell tell tell tell tell telles telles tells tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell the tell the the the the the the tell us us tell us tell us their tell us these bears they're depressed Think about it. They overeat they sleep for months They always seem upset. They freak out when you point a hunting rifle at their cub I mean They're unhinged dude. All right? That's an interesting way to see bears. Let's talk about let's talk about money. Let's talk about money. Let's talk about let's talk about money. Let's talk about let's talk about let's talk. Let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell. Let's tell tell tell tell tell tell. Let's tell.

I actually use Uber Black, Trevor because I'm an ally. So that's for you. No, but, look, that's not a joke.

It's not a joke. Look, okay. Let's look. As you can see on this chart, after President Biden announced that gig workers should be considered employees, Uber and Lyft shares have taken a ride of their own. Okay? Now, this chart also perfectly demonstrates my enjoyment of making conversation with my Uber driver, okay?

At the beginning, it's fine, you know? Offers me a mint, gives me a bottle of water for a baby. But look, it starts to drop right here when he asked me to come sit up front. Oh God, right? And another big drop in value again when he finds out I work at the Daily Show and asks me if I'm the guy that goes to the Trump rallies. But look, his value increases when I learned he used to be a doctor and I can ask him free medical questions, but turns out he's actually just a chiropractor so he loses all his value. But then I find out that he has prescription meds in his trunk for me, so it goes back up and you know, Mikey-like. Okay? So, now, thank you.

I offered you a hot tip and it's usually a financial tip but I feel like I have to explain this because it keeps happening to me. If you're my Uber driver and I and I fall fall th fall th and I fall th and I fall to to to to to to to to to to wake to wake to wake to wake to wake to wake to wake to wake to wake to wake to wake to wake to wake to wake 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 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. the. the. the. the. te. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. to. to. to. to. the a financial tip, but I feel like I have to explain this because it keeps happening to me. If you're my Uber driver and I fall asleep in the back seat, do not try to wake me up, I will bite you, okay? Back to you, Trevor, my brother. Michael Costa, everybody.

You know, with all the recent accusations of ballot rigging and fat bear fraud, it is no surprise that Americans have become less confidence in their elections.

But as Desiladig dis-Lyttic discovers in her new series, America's election infrastructure may be an even worse shape than you think. Hi, I'm Peabody Award-Wanting investigative journalist Desi-Liidic. Elections. They're the bedrock of of democracy and the only thing preventing us from not having elections. But is America's election system reliable or we won glitchy voting machine away from a total collapse. I'll investigate in our new segment, Vote Demick 2022, our crumbling election infrastructure.

After our nation's last elections went super smooth, dozens of voters were locked out of the one single polling place for all of Louisville. Reports of hours of long lines, voting machine malfunctions, provisional ballot shortages, officials are looking at calling in the National Guard. I wanted to find out how ready we are for the midterms. So I'm headed to our nation's capital capital to to talk to to to to to to to to to to to to the election the election. the election to the election. the election to the election. the election. the election. the the the the the the the the the the the the nation, the nation, the nation, the nation, to to the nation's, the nation's, to to to to to to to to to toe. After, toe. After, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, toe. After, toe. After, toe. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. 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 thea.a.nationa.na.a, their, then at calling in the National Guard. I wanted to find out how ready we are for the midterms, so I'm headed to our nation's capital to talk with election advocates at the Democracy Fund. My name is Tammy Patrick. I'm a senior advisor to the elections team at the Democracy Fund, which seeks to ensure that we have an open and just

democracy that is inclusive and trustworthy for all of our citizens. Ooh, sounds like you got your work cut out for you. We do in this moment. There's a lot of work to be done, but it may not be in the areas that necessarily think it is. All right, what are all the problems for this upcoming election election. So we continue to see a shortage of poll workers, the global supply chain issues, under funding of our election infrastructure.., wait, Tammy, Tammy, Tammy.

Let's start with the most pressing issue. Well, one of the most pressing issues at this moment, because of where we are in the election cycle, is a paper shortage. Paper? Paper? Paper? Tammy, it's 2022. Who's using paper to vote?

So the vast majority of Americans actually cast a paper ballot. Yeah, no, I knew that. I vote every election. I got the stickers to prove it. Well, that's great. But election offices all around this country have ordered their ballots. They've ordered envelopes, they've ordered paper materials that they need, and they may not get them in time for the upcoming election. Who's going to be affected by this paper shortage most? What it looks like is going to happen will be those small election offices serving rural communities

where they don't have a large service provider that's helping them take care of this issue? Are you saying that the rural community, am I... Rural, rural? Am I saying that right? Rural. The rural... Okay, you know what I'm saying. As I learned about this large swath of Americans, rural, very real. I realized this paper shortage could affect a lot of people. Well, I guess I got gotta go find some paper people. Oh wait, there's more to talk about. Can it, Tammy? The King and America just sneaks some printer paper home from work like the rest of us?

I went to run back election services, one of the largest ballot printing facilities, to get an inside look at how dire the paper shortage is. We print ballots for several states and counties across the nation. We're in 23 states plus Washington, D.C. with some of our products. Wow, so you're a huge part of the voting process. Yeah, we toubl. We toubts roughly 45 to 50% of the voters around the country. You toubts a lot of voters. Yep. But with consent.

to the paper mills shut down, they couldn't generate more paper. So they sold through all their inventory. And then when they started going back to work, they converted to linerboard for cardboard boxes, right? Amazon still needs to ship things. Faisos, man. And now we don't have how to tell you this, but I see a f-ton of paper around here.

So what you see here on our production floor is a fraction of what we need for the whole year. Every day we'll go through 65 of those rolls. 65 of these rolls? Yes. Jesus Christ. Historically, we could order paper and in two to three weeks we would have what we need. Now it's three to four months or more, and that's been the problem this year. How bad are we talking? Like, we might need to start printing double-sided bad or the majority of Americans

won't get to choose their president bad? Let's hope it doesn't get that that that that that to to to to to to to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi bad. Let's hope it doesn't get to that. Everybody's working to avoid that very problem, but we already do print double-sided ballots. So there is, we already print on both sides of the paper. Jesus Christ, Jeff, that means it's bad. Kind of. Walk me through everything that would be affected It's hard to mail balance. Envelopes. I voted stickers and instructions. Wait, wait. Voting stickers? Voting stickers could be gone.

Could be. But the sticker's the best part of voting. It's the only reason I vote. Could also do digital stickers. Instead of getting the physical sticker, you get a digital sticker when you vote. Jeff, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Fair enough. Okay I just have a few more questions. No. No. Ah yes. What can Americans do to help with the paper shortage?

Cursive, why am I writing in cursive? Stop wasting paper. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right, you want to take me on a tour? Sure. I'm ready to go to work. All right, let's go. You're going to wear a hard hat? Yeah, that's what you do, right?

No. It was time to roll up my sleeves, so I didn't get ink on them. Gross. This paper palace was pompin. a lot more to printing than just hitting Control P. So this is where it all starts. We get the files from the county, the PDFs, so we can start the print process. Ah, let me ask you a question. Does PDF really stand for please don't f- no?

I could see how crucial paper was to this process. So every roll of paper will generate about 1,000 ballots. When we're running in an election, we'll be running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These run 24 hours a day? Yes. Wait, what's happening? This machine just ran out of paper. It's happening already. I even presented Jeff with some of my own solutions to stop the shortage.

So this is the insuter. This were the ballots, the I voted sticker, the instructions all go into the envelope to be mailed out to the voter. You say the stickers? The I voted stickers, yes. These ones right here. Yes. Oh no. So even if a paper shortage does ruin America's democracy, at least I'll be able to participate in the most important part of the voting process. Thank you so much for that, Desi. Stay true, because when we come back, I'll be talking to a trio of chefs who are making

gourmet food ghettos. So don't go away. Finding great candidates to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

The Smartest Way to hire. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guests tonight are the founders of the brunch-based culinary collective ghetto gastro. They're here to talk about their new book, Black Power Kitchen, which comes out on October 25th and is available for pre-order right now. Please welcome Lester Walker, John Gray and Pierre Serrao. Welcome. We are definitely out here. You are definitely out here. Welcome to the show, gentlemen. Thanks for having. We're in a building. You know, it feels like it's been too long.

It's crazy. I remember meeting you and my mind was blown, not just by the food you cooked, but by the stories that you told, the way you encapsulated people's cultures, the way granted every day, which is food Let's start with the like the very beginning the inception of it all ghetto Gastro so many people have a negative connotation when it comes to ghetto be like oh, that's ghetto You know and then gastro. It has this this culinary idea behind it, but you took it and you flipped it. I'd love to know why you chose to? that name well, the opposite's attract and as a multi a multi a multi the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to the to to tell stories, you know, about culture, politics, empowerment. You know, mainly we're using our creative energy to uplift black and brown communities.

I love that. Yeah, I love it. And the way you do it, the way you do it is by leveling up, I mean food, I mean food from all over the world. I've eaten your food, and I mean not even gasing you up. You remember this th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the way, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, th, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their their their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, theea. You, thea. You're theauuia. You're theauia. thea. thea. thea, the world. I've eaten your food, and I mean, not even gassing you up. You remember this. I ate the food, and I was like, man, New York has the best food in the world. And then I stumbled on a few places. I was like, these guys tricked me,

because the food was the best food. New York has great food. that talks about your collective, talks about it with the level of excitement, pride and joy because that's what you encapsulate. You know, you take food and you create a story from it. Why do you think it's so important to do that? Well, we break bread to build bridges, you know, and I let pee. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, what John said, you know, we break bread to build bridges and for us it's really important

for our people to understand that the food that we eat and how important it is what we put into our bodies, you know, so we making conscious food, high vibrational food, you know, like food that's a life force, you know, straight from the source, you know, plants, you know, the pan-African, all of that, you know, the pan, the pan, the pan, the pan, the pan, the pan, the pan, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their, their they.. they. they. they. they. their their that's, their, that's, that's, that's, their,pora, through flavor. From the soil to the oil, man. I like that a lot. You know what I love most about it is, what I love about this cookbook and I love about the stories, first of all, it's more than just... It's a crook book? It's a cookbook?

I like that. Okay. Ten million dollars worth a game in here, thiah. I like that, okay? And you know what, it deserves a different name because it contains every, you expect the recipes, right? You don't expect what they'll be, but you expect recipes. But this book contains art. You have beautiful images by artists who've shaped, you know, hip-hop and communities around America and the world. It feels like you've infused more than just the food, but the people that

would engage around the food. And that that that th, th, and th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I theree, I think, I thi, thi, thi, I'll thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I's, I I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'm, I'm theanan, I'm thrownean, I'm thrownean, I'm thooooooomorrow, I'm thoooooesomea, theanananed.eaned, their, the food and that that in and of itself was an interesting choice. Why involve others in your arts? When you think about food, think about nourishment. It's really about nourishing the mind, body and the soul. So we have to we have to combine these, the arts, the music, the design aspect, you know, the fashion, the flea. And for us for us, you know, it's community builds immunity. their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. And, the, the, the, th. th. the, th. thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, you, the, the, tho, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, tha, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, is, and, is, is, and, and, is, is, and, and, their, they. And, they. And, they.a.a.a.a.a. And, thin.a.a. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, w. And, w. And, when. And, they, the flea. And for us, you know, it's community builds immunity. So we like to work with, you know, our peers and people that we love and that we trust to create like pieces of art like this that will, you know, last and stand a test of time. You do that with your food as well. You know, you've never been afraid of sparking conversation. You've never been afraid of your food to comment. For instance, there was a dish that I remember hearing about. It was American as apple pie, right?

Three Ks, like ice cubes, American most waver. Was America KKK, right? And it was a deconstructed apple pie, and it had a chalk outline on the plate. It was a graphic image, you know, to to think about when you're having a dessert, and yet it was a commentary on what people oftentimes ignore about America. Yeah, food is, you know, food is a vehicle for us. It's an artistic expression, you know, for us to, you know, express our feelings and our

thoughts and we do it on a plate and sometimes it might make people uncomfortable, but like, that's what art is. You know, we're supposed to spark conversation and make you think deeper know food for the food for the mind as well. Right, right. You've also not been afraid to challenge some of the ideas. You know, people love soul food. People have these ideas of how black people eat. We talked about this many years ago, but a lot of how black people eat has been defined by necessity as opposed to choice. And what you've done is you've come and you said, we're not scrapping these ideas. We're not getting rid of of of of of th of th of th of th of th of th of th of th of th of th of the black th black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black people. th, th people. th, th, th. their their their their th. 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 their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. the. the. the. thea. thea. th. th. th. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the choice. And what you've done is you've come and you said, we're not scrapping these ideas, we're not getting rid of what black people have created in a culture, but what we want to do is improve on it.

We want to create worlds where the food deserts don't define our diets. You know, you've chosen to go with health, you've chosen to go with athose recipes? Have vibration cuisine like Pee mentioned earlier and we don't call it a food desert, we call it food apartheid because it's not a natural occurrence. You know, this is social engineering areas that have been underestimated, underinvested in and exploited. So it's a reason why people don't have access to fresh food, but we want to show examples of

how we can make it culturally relevant, push it forward, and making nutritious and delicious. Stealth health as well. Do you find, do you find you're able to break through, you know, there's this idea sometimes of what a black man should eat? I have half of my friends who, if I give them a plate of salad or something, be like, sa- maybe if there's no meat, I'm not eating that, it's just some bullshit. Do you th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, their, their, their, their, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. the. their, their, their,them a plate of salad or something, be like, satire, maybe if there's no meat, I'm not eating that, it's just some bullshit. Do you find that your recipes break through? Well the future of food is plant bait.

It's conscious cuisine, you know, it's taking accountable calories. And we really want to highlight that especially in the neighborhoods that we're from that are just in desperation of healthy food. Right. Yeah, we want to change the sort of connotations and the context around the food in our communities and what we eat. So like you're talking about what black men should be eating. And we want to show our community what we should be eating. If you want to perform at a high level, you've got to take things in, they're going to help you do that. Like we keep saying high vibrational food no live no low vibrations over here, you know, it's always high vibes So nutrient dense, you know plants like they're the primary source of protein

So you want to talk about protein, you know eat some kale some keenwa some sweet potatoes, you know some chickpeas And we still got some twark and jerk chicken in there too that's what I like so So it's the balance so it's like turk and jerk you got the black the black the black the black the black the black the black the black the black the black the black the black the black the black chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 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 twea. twea. twea. twea. twea. twea. twea. twea. twea. twea. twea. twea. the the the the balance. So it's the balance. It's like twark and jerk. We got the black power waffle. You know what I'm saying? Using African grain, sword gum, millet, amaran. So we really want to have this continental cultural collision, looking at the ingredients of the Americas, the ingredients of Africa, the ingredients of Asia, and creating this combustion of something brand new. You've also taken it to another level

because you're not just creating on the streets, you're not just creating in communities. You're also infiltrating areas that haven't generally been infiltrated by faces like yours. You know, you have a line of cookware that's out there and some of the biggest brands. You make, you got waffle makers. I'd love to know, waffle mix as well. Syrup, don't slip on the drip. Actually, I think you guys are, you're giving everyone in the audience waffle mix, right?

I was watching the between the scenes. You are, right? No, for real. You're watching it between the scenes when you're open. You're watching it. You're watching. they wafel mix, so get your fix, you're, you, you, you, you, you, you, tho, you, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I I, I, I, I I.
