So I thank you.

Thank you, Greta. Yeah, it's crazy to have a podcast because I just thought, you know, there is a hole in the market and only I can fill it. And that actually is true. And what's crazy, Greta, is I think that you might be the person who has been on the show the most, maybe three. This might be four times over the years. Yeah, I think this is my fourth time. Well, that's huge because, yeah, that just shows you how special you are to me, the show, and of course, Lucian Wickles. You remember Lucian.

I remember Lucian. Love Lucian. One day would love to meet Lucian. Yeah, I hope one day we might be able to orchestrate that. I'm not sure. Mysterious man, that Lucian. It's, you know, when I try to spend time with him, a lot of times he ducks me. He doesn't. I really am always pursuing that friendship really hard, and he tries to keep it strictly When I try to spend time with him, a lot of the times he ducks me.

I really am always pursuing that friendship really hard, and he tries to keep it strictly work, which is frustrating. Yeah, it does suck when you work so closely with someone to never get that kind of one-on-one time that you kind of want to sit down and throw back some brews with your boy. You know I like to toss back some coldies and have some nice friendship. I know. God, that sounds nice. Speaking of, we need to do it soon.

I know you don't drink beer, but yeah. I'll drink something. You need to drink. I did not stop drinking. You know, I have never stopped my alcohol consumption. You've kind of, you're, you you really I'm really impressed with how you've grown to like restrain yourself. Oh, thanks. Yeah, I didn't drink in February. That was because I was doing a lot of meditations and trying to contact spirits and stuff. But I will have a beer with

you for sure. Definitely. That's great. I would love that. Okay, well, let's just freaking get into it, guys. Greta, are you ready to read this letter? I am. All right, let's hear it, babe. Okay. The floor is yours. Okay. I'm going to, I mean, should I, I mean, I like, I'm really about timing myself because I could really go on and on and on about this legend that I've written this letter to.

So I'm going to make sure that I keep it like short and sweet for you. Yeah. I mean, you really don't. There are no time constraints. You can read as long as you want, but go ahead. Cut to an hour from now. I'm still reading. Okay. Dear guy, Fieri, notice how I pronounced your last name Fieri, whereas a lot of your more pedestrian fans say Fieri. And I know the real you. I know the real you, my Italian, Southern Californian slash Nevadan king. Where to even begin with how I feel about you.

God, some people think you're just this funny guy, this kind of fake little cartoon character who the Food Network invented, but I don't. I see the human you. I see all of you. For starters, I love your whimsy. Before you were even really a thing, you decided to name your restaurants Johnny Garlic's, okay. That is classified as a California pasta grill. I mean, who knew you could even grill pasta? I love that you have a sauce named donkey sauce, a title that, you know, most people would remotely not want to even touch a sauce named donkey sauce, but you love it and you make it appetizing. And even though I know you named

it donkey sauce because it kicks ass, which I think is so cute and awesome. I know you named it donkey sauce because you love to eat ass, which is exactly what I want you to do to me. I love how committed you are to your look. A truly, truly iconic look. And people use that word iconic too often when they don't mean it. But with you, I mean it. That frosted tip little head that I want to so badly kiss and have crack off in my mouth because I know you've bleached it so much. I would give you an Olaplex treatment every single night because I love you just the way

you are. I mean, I had no idea I could be attracted to a guy who also looked like the owner of the bunny ranch until I saw you, guy. You literally look like a checkered flag from a muscle garage. And I think that that is absolutely gorgeous. And I think that that is absolutely gorgeous. You're also the only man on planet earth who can not only pull off wearing white sunglasses, but you can pull off wearing them on the back of your head. You really look like a car from pimp. My ride come to life.

I also love your family. I love your beautiful long marriage with your wife. I love that you named your kids Hunter and Ryder. And one day, should you ever potentially divorce your wife, which love that you named your kids Hunter and Ryder. And one day, should you ever potentially divorce your wife, which I don't want to have happen to you, but I would get pregnant with your third child and we can name him Gunner and they can ride around in your red Camaro until you retire into sunset. And I just love you so much, guy. I love the joy you bring. I love the gifts you give. I love that you think you're funny too.

I love that you wore the outfit you were in your Super Bowl commercial to the Super Bowl. And for that, my friend, you are a real king. Thank you. Oh my God. Wow.

Look, I don't want to rank any of my incredible guests, but that might be my favorite letter yet. Wow. Look, I don't want to rank any of my incredible guests, but that might be my favorite letter. Yeah. Wow. That was so passionate, Greta. Thank you. He fucks. You know what I mean? He really he fucks everything. He he could he is just the king. I think that's clear. I'm going to have to agree with you because he there's spark to him. There's something's really ablaze inside him, a passion for life. Yeah, I mean, I'm Guy Fieri and this is Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. He has done like 40 seasons and also he has Guy's Grocery Games. He has a million television shows. He's also a humanitarian.

OK, he raised millions of dollars for restaurant workers during the beginning of COVID. He's also a humanitarian, okay? He raised millions of dollars for restaurant workers during the beginning of COVID. He's also done so much to help. He fed the firemen when all of the wildfires were happening in Santa Rosa, where he lives, which I'll move there for you, my love. I will. Wow, you are a true fan.

I did not know he lives in Santa Rosa. But yeah, I love that he just comes through for everyone. So unsuspectingly, and it feels like he doesn't want any credit. And like, it is crazy that he was the butt of, I feel like he was like a cultural joke for a long time. And he just stayed the course and was like, no, I'm actually awesome. I live a great life.

I'm happy. I'm happily married and I help people a great life. I'm happy. I'm happily married and I help people and I eat and I'm happy. He's someone that I think everybody wanted to have the joke sour and that he's just been like a consummate good guy is what I love about him. I pray to God nothing bad comes out about him. I don't think it will. I think that if that were to happen, it would have already happened. But he just seems like a really fucking good dude.

And I love his zany little ass when he cooks up his little creations in the kitchen. Yeah, he truly is a great example of just turn the other cheek and stay winning and getting paid. And also, you know, when people say know your lane, like he is really the guy that's like, know your lane. You know, he was not trying to win a Michelin star. He was not trying to like break the mold.

He's like, where will my restaurants perform? Well, Las Vegas. Yes. trying to like break the mold he's like where will my restaurants perform well las vegas yes and he was like uh yeah it is only my lane no one else is in my lane and i'm not gonna try to be in anyone else's lane no and like you know he wears so much jewelry like yes his his little like skull chrome hearts yeah you think one's ever fallen off in a fryer no but one can fall off inside of me honey okay oh greta greta greta let's get to the barbara walters portion of this will we please will we we will we will we should we will we? Will we? Will we? Should we? Will we? Yeah. Okay.

So, Greta, my dear friend that I met in the Big Apple, as they say, when we had both just started comedy as two young, beautiful blonde girls just looking to break into the comedian landscape. Absolutely. Whose families kept on asking why. Yes. Why would you want to make your lives worse? Why would you want to be in dusty basements around mildew? Why would you want to drink old $2 Chardonnay in a windowless room?

Yes, you know, we shared a lot. We moved across the country together. We had, you know, ex-boyfriends together. A lot of fun times. That's who she is to me, audience, if you're, you know, caught up now. Okay, let's get into it. According to Lucian Wickles, Guy Fieri is quoted as saying,

holy moly stromboli and peace, love and taco grease. And you know what? It might just be a mound of oil-logged Pillsbury crescent dough, but it's bomb.com tasty amigo. Would you say it's Guy's extremely specific spin on the English way of speaking that gets your engines running

and makes you hot under the collar? Absolutely. As I started my letter with his whimsy, I mean, one could say he is a modern Shakespeare with the use of, you know, he waxes poetic about his dishes and the most gorgeous inventive ways. And I think that his use of language is something masterful and not to be ignored. Right. Yeah. I don't know if people are really recognizing how powerful he is sort of

with his own uh again and his own lane in the english language and what i just read i was like wow that sounds kind of chossery you know he's also like a master marketer like he has figured out how to market himself and part of his marketing are the insane descriptions for his food. Right. Oh, it's incredible. God. He's also the only again, the only one that can do it singular. If anybody else tries to describe their food that way, I'm like, oh, disgusting, gross him. I'm like, get it in my get it in all my holes. Oil log feelsbury crescent dough is just a beautiful picture. You know, it feels like it will do the same thing inside of you as outside of you. Yeah, I'd like to toss some of that down the gullet right now.

Sounds great. All right, Greta. I think Lucien got some sort of warrant and broke into your house extremely legally and discovered a copy of New York Times food critic Pete Wells' 2012 review of Guy Fieri's New York City restaurant. It's widely regarded as both the most scathing and also the most widely read restaurant review ever. the most widely read restaurant review ever. And I do have to ask, why do you have that on your wall with die Pete Wells painted in red all over it? Well, first of all, I think that Pete needs to actually be thanking Guy

that Guy even opened said establishment and let Pete flex his creative writing muscles. Okay. That's a take, hot hot take baby. Because honestly, oh Pete, you hated guys restaurants so much. Guess what? It made you relevant. Guess what? It made people who didn't care about your stupid pretentious food reviews, read your food review. It made people think, oh, maybe Pete Wells is more than just some stuck up little shit that only wants to eat at restaurants like Danielle and La Bernardin. Okay. So maybe what Pete needs to be

thinking is, did Guy Fieri actually make me human? Did Guy actually make me seem real? Whoa. That's existential as fuck. That's one thing. And you know know the reason why i just like to reflect on that because you know blair you and i were were creatives one could say we are we are chefs of ideas you know yeah and i think that i love to look at that piece and say that didn't stop my almighty king from his strong, strong reign in the world of food and the world of entertainment at large. So nothing should stop me. Nothing should ever get in my way. So in many ways, that's kind of a reminder that I like to see. It's a visual reminder that I like to see every day, you know, to start my day to say

nothing, no matter if I'm someone explodes, my ass really roasts my ass in the New York times. Nothing is going to stop me from getting a vineyard, from collecting classic cars, from living a happy, gorgeous life with my husband and our future children that I'll name Guy. Shout out to the future of children. You know, and I just think it's really important that we focus up like Guy does and not let people that clearly don't see our vision, but still capitalize on it, get in our way. Oh, my God. God, that was profound. So, you know, I know a lot of you think, oh, this is Blair's little comedy podcast. But then we have moments like that where just deep spiritual existential truths are revealed. He did ask me, did Greta write that die Pete Wells in blood on the framed review?

And I said, I don't know. I know she's a passionate woman. But what you just said is so true. Guy said, I'm not going to let that fucking nerd, that dweeb, Pete, rain on my parade. He also said, I don't need New York. You know how many people say that? He said, you also said, I don't need New York. You know how many people say that? He said, you know what? I don't need New York. I can do whatever I need to do without New York.

Where all that everyone is so small minded and obsessed with New York, New York, New York, New York, New York. You got to make it. If you can't make it in New York, you can't make it anywhere. And guess what? He didn't make it in New York and he made it everywhere else. And he made it everywhere else and he made it everywhere else honey Mike drop Guy Fieri the Italian steamroller I made that up yeah that's just so incredible I also what when listening to that deep prophecy that you just spilled. I also had the thought that, you know, anyone really

pretentious is just like a little angry dork inside. Oh, 100 percent. Yeah. So like you can't find. I mean, look, I do think that Pete Wells, that review is written very like tongue in cheek. I think he fully knew. First of all, he knew what he was doing by going and reviewing Guy Fieri's like Flavortown restaurant in Times Square. You know, that would be the comedy equivalent of punching down. Yeah. Yeah. It's like 100 percent the comedy equivalent of punching down. So for me, I'm kind of just like, OK, Pete, like like cool. You went to a restaurant that you knew was like a spectacle and you know that people aren't actually going there to eat the food, but mostly to take part in the theater of Guy Fieri. It's like grow up. He also did the same

thing with that restaurant Ninja in New York, which is a crazy experience where people pop out at you while you eat. Again, no one's going there to eat a life changing meal. Right. People are going there because it's like Disneyland. Yeah. And, you know, the theater of it is no less valuable just because it's different. This man. Yeah. And like, you know, a restaurant that at one point he loved, which was, um, oh, that steak, that steak place in Brooklyn. Oh, Peter Luger. Peter Luger, which honestly, like ate there on my 21st birthday, never felt the urge to

go back because I didn't like the theater of it. I didn't like the bright lights. I didn't like the grumpy waiters. I didn't like the lack of music. I didn't think it was cute. I didn't think the bright lights. I didn't like the grumpy waiters. I didn't like the lack of music. I didn't think it was cute. I didn't think it was fun. And frankly, I didn't think the food was good enough to warrant that bad attitude. So for me, I'd rather go into Guy Fieri's like playland.

Right. And have the food be whatever than the other way around. Yeah. than the other way around. Yeah, and also a little like truth, secret that Pete Wells cannot deny is that bar food is good. It's bar food. It's completely different.

It's not even in the same category as the other stuff. Guys, trash can nachos. Are you fucking kidding me? Did you go to the restaurant? Because I never went. I never went to the restaurant in New York. And by the time I really like, I've always loved Guy, but it wasn't until I hit my mid 20s where I really started to appreciate him.

Right, right. Well, he's actually just such a free thinker, you know, looking back on his entire journey in hindsight. Yeah, he's the fucking best.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't

really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically Black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.

This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you.

Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session, 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people.

There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. According to Lucian Wickles, Guy Fieri owns a vineyard called Hunt and Ride. Hunt and Ride, yeah. Which I'll be honest, sounds dangerous, sinister, and sex-filled.

What would the name of your vineyard be if you bought one tomorrow? Well, I do want Lucian to know that I have a magnum of Hunt and Ride Cabernet signed by Guy Fieri in my pantry right now. Follow up question. I know you only drink natural wine and I know Guy Fieri does not drink natural wine. We make exceptions. We make exceptions for important people. If he poured you a glass of his diner wine, would you drink it down? Yes or no? I would suck the whole thing down and ask for more. I really really would i'd ask for more until i got so black out that i like probably would offer to like suck his dick in his like convertible um what would i name my wineyard am i owning it with guy or is it just mine i think it was just yours

but you know you could own it with guy like oh that could be an incredible collaboration what would i name my wine probably just like delectable delectable wow delectable delectable wines but if I wanted like a cunty vineyard name

probably like like hmm this is hard it's okay you know we're just free balling here. Probably like Flora Mae vineyards.

Whoa. I love Flora Mae vineyards. Family names. You know, we're taking from the family. I could see us going there and dressed in all poochy and on a veranda drinking Flora Mae. Oh my God. Let's go to Napa. Yes. I may oh my god let's go to let's go to napa yes i've never been let's go have you not been no i've never been i've been once with my ex-boyfriend but we should go

i'll be your i'll be your boyfriend and take it's really it's really nice it's really beautiful i love it i mean like i'm not very into wine tasting culture because I get so drunk after like one tasting. Same, same. So I need to figure out how to how to balance all that. Right. Yeah. And we usually do a bag of mushrooms. Yeah. If you get me, we like legally have to do mushrooms. And then if you get me shrooming wasted on like at multiple tastings at vineyards, we need to call out sick for the next week. Yeah.

Yeah. No, I mean, I think we'd have to budget a sick time after, but no, I think that could be fun sometime. But love. Okay.

Good. I love that. Flora may. All right. Although I would never deign to define someone by their partner, Guy Fieri has been married to his wife, Lori, for 26 years. Would you say it's because Guy takes her on a road-rockin' trip to Flavortown where the gravitational force of bacon warps the laws

of space and time metaphorically. And if no, what do you think are the top reasons their love has lasted? Well, I think that's absolutely a huge reason why their love has lasted. I think that he literally like flavor blasts her life in all of the right ways. I think that first of all, I think they fuck. Right. Regularly. Do you think he brings her jalapeno poppers in bed?

Cause that's my dream. I think that he will bring her anything she wants. I think if she wants to have fun, little boneless wing and like a teriyaki glaze, he's got a real big daddy, to a fun little boneless wing in like a teriyaki glaze. He's got a real big daddy, masculine, take care of his wife vibe. I think if she's craving a macaroni and cheese ball,

he'll whip that right up. Can you imagine? I think that if she's craving a gorgeous light chopped salad, he'll whip that up. That sounds really good. I really think he like lays it

the fuck down for her. Oh, so you think that Guy Fieri has got a hammer on him? Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Guy Fieri has a hog. Right. Yeah. He's got a hog. You don't look like that and not

have a fucking hog. Something's giving you the confidence every day, babe. Right. And it would explain like his sort of deep grounded, steadfast nature, despite any hatred being rolled at him by Pete Wells and the culture. He's not a dick. He lets it roll off him. He's not worried.

And it's like there's something going on down below yeah he's like i'm fine yeah he's like relax everyone i'm doing great as above so below they say i also i also just think that like i I don't know. I think that he's like a really committed person. He doesn't seem like someone that's, I think he takes his like business really seriously. And I don't think he's one of these people that wants to be out here like fucking around and jeopardizing that.

Right. He also, it's just so funny because he's associated with sort of low brow miss but i think he really operates with a high level of grace yeah i also think he's a family guy like i think he's a real family man and i think he like loves his family so much and would do anything for them i mean his eldest son, Ryder, is, or Hunter. I think it's Ryder. Oh, no, it's Hunter is his eldest. And have you met these people?

Well, his eldest, like, is basically, he's being groomed to, like, take over Guy Fieri Enterprises. Whoa. Because he's in episodes of Triple D. He's in, he's with episodes of he's in episodes of triple d he's in he's with his dad constantly when when guy was cooking from home he was helping him the whole entire time like and you know he's just like papa he has his ears pierced he's wearing kooky little shirts that i think have to be flames on them yeah like he's i would love if they're custom making their flame shirts i mean they have to be made. Yeah. Like he's, I would love if they're custom making their flame shirts.

I mean, they have to be, that's incredible to think about. I feel like, I feel like they must. I would love that. Cause like, I would love to have someone custom making my own clothes,

but to think of guys, bowling shirts, just being custom made. That's incredible. Custom jobs. You know that, um, Tim Robinson shirt sketch. That's incredible. Custom jobs. You know that Tim Robinson shirt sketch? I think so. Yeah, it's like that. It's like jazzy, crazy shirts.

Jazzy, crazy shirts. Yeah. I love Guy. Oh, I know. He's like they don't make him like him. You know what I mean? It's like everyone thinks that you need to become some like played out dickwad when you get rich and famous. And guess what? You don't. You can be like Guy. We have to write a note to remember that for when we're so rich. Be more like Guy. The next time I get into a fight with someone, I'm going to say, hey, buddy, why don't you be more like Guy?

I'm really looking for a family man that same way like i want someone who really who really values family and would also bring me whip me up a mac and cheese ball would you say yes to a date with a young guy fieri um you know i don't know i'm not sure if my spiritual self would come into play to recognize what was there. I can't say that I feel magnetically pulled towards a bleached spiked hair man at this age in my life, but the aesthetic, you don't know if you can handle the aesthetic, but what's underneath you would want, you want the guy spirit in a different vessel. Yeah. Or, you know, like I wouldn't even say I'm like a very looks focused person. I don't even think I am. I just pray to

recognize the person to be able to recognize what's there that I need to recognize. So then maybe you would go on a date with someone that looked like guy i can't i don't know if i would be able to have the capacity awareness you would go on a date with young guy blair you wouldn't real like younger me, I loved like weirdo looking dude. Oh, you liked a hard look. I think for me, because I grew up, I didn't grow up in like an artsy place in any way, shape or form, even near like a big city. And so my natural just attraction to men cellularly is like a very masculine man. So I don't ever, I'm not really ever attracted to a man with a hard look, like a look.

You're cellularly attracted to like muscles, but not in a way that's like jacked, but like washboard, lean cut, athletic. I feel like they could chop their own wood is like a thing. Not like they're in the gym every second. Yeah, no, no, no, no. Not like a GTL person.

Yeah. Because that's too much vanity. It has to be something like understated. No, it's rooted in sports. Right, right, right, right. The physique is grounded in sports where I've always been attracted to like, I mean, actually I 100% will go on a date with young guy because a guy that I dated is an incredible chef. Who's like neck down, fully covered in tattoos,

wore metal shirts all the time. Like not. How long did you date for? wore metal shirts all the time. Like not. How long did you date for? How long did I date? God, I was like in love with him. Really? How old were you?

I was probably like 23 or 24. I do like thinking about the guys that you dated in New York. I know. Well, you know what? I've always had a soft spot for guys that work in hospitality. I was just going to say that, but I wanted you to say it first. Yeah. I've always been a sucker for a bartender.

When we'd be walking downtown, you'd be like, oh, I dated that guy. I made out with that guy. Oh, my God. Whenever we'd pass like a bar'd be like oh i dated that guy i made out with that guy oh my god we'd pass like a bar restaurant yeah yeah i was like a real i was a bar slut i liked it though it sounds like you really lived i just like any i just am attracted to anyone that can like make me something delicious and like use their hands right now i totally get what you're saying that's a very attractive thing and it's also they're like caring for you and it's like delicious and like use their hands. You know, I totally get what you're saying. That's a very attractive thing. And it's also, they're like caring for you.

And it's like artistry. It is. It's really, it's really beautiful. And so the chef that I dated, I actually, I went, we went,

we didn't go to the same high school, but we grew up together in DC. And, um, I always thought he was like so cute and kind of mysterious in high school because he was the kid that was like making like demi glazes and like making crazy. That's insane. Like he and his friends would get stoned and then he'd cook them like wild ass food. You know, that kind of rubbed off on you.

Like, I'll never forget that one time we were in Toby Hanna and you made that rose petal pie that took you like seven hours. It was like the most insane thing I've ever seen. Yeah, I that was like the most intricate shit. It was crazy. I love baking. Really? Yeah, I do.

Wow. But yeah, anyway, this guy, like we dated on and off. We dated for like a little bit, but he was living in California when I was living in New York. And it unfortunately just like didn't really work out for that reason. And he did go on to win a Michelin star. Really? Yes. And now he has a really, really, Michelin star. Really? Yes. And now he has a really, really, really cool restaurant in D.C.

and has a kid. Whoa, that's cool. And I congratulated him on having a kid. Oh, that's nice. That's very gracious of you. Thank you. I'm a gracious lover. You are.

I think you are. And, you know, you are married and doing very well, too. I'm sure he was thrilled to get a congrats from you. You know, we follow each other on Insta. I saw the baby. I said, is this yours? Question mark. And he said, it is.

And then told me the name. And I said, mazel, even though he's not Jewish. But, you know, the sentiment is what matters i love i mean i'm as like you know no one thinks i'm jewish but i feel so thrilled when any of my jewish friends say mazel to me you know it's very and we you got to thank andy cohen at the end of the day mainstream oh god this is fun greta lucian has been working overtime and uh discovered you were quoted as saying remember there's more than one way to eat a recess how about there's more than one way to eat my ass. And sometimes the ocean reminds me of a big latte splashing its milky foam on Mother Earth's lips.

Sand, life is beautiful, which feels spiritually similar to Guy Fieri ethos. It's been such an honor to have you here. Would you please take this time to give our studio audience your own best Guy Fieri selling his Guy-talian nachos and mac daddy mac and cheese. Clock starts now. My Guy Fieri lasagna nachos start with one layer of crisp pasta followed by some ass kicking ground beef marinara spicy arrabbiata tomato sauce layered up pie with three kinds of cheddar. That's right. Spicy, mild, and extra sharp. Then,

you know, we got to topple that with some pickled jalapenos straight from my farm to yours. That's right. Farm to table, Guy Fieri. After that, we're going to take another layer of lasagna, pile that high with even more meat and cheese. Oh, and then if you didn't think that was enough, we have my macaroni super sauce sliders. have you ever had macaroni balls in between two ciabatta rolls i will remind you i am italian and by macaroni balls they're made of provolone mozzarella and of course ricotta and there's a marscapone finish with a beautiful panko crust on top of that ball that we sandwich between again rolls of of chia butter with of course my donkey sauce chicken garlic aioli master fuck i feel like you just did guy fieri better than guy fieri

and here's the kicker it's all served on a license plate wow wow that was incredible that was talent they should bring you on snl to do guy fieri like um snl the way they bring melissa mccarthy on to do sean hann. SNL, if you're listening, I will come on to do Guy Fieri and that's it. God, I am sweating. I just laughed so hard. That was incredible. Oh, my God. Making you laugh. Oh, she loves to make me laugh. And boy, does she do it well. We're going to have to cut that clip and broadcast that wide. Guy Fieri would lose his motherfucking mind if he heard you do that here's it and literally like responds comments even likes i will maybe i'll retire i think we could make that happen easily like i do think we just set that free into the universe and that that's like something that could easily happen i also did

love um you did add a little bit of an italian um flair that i don't remember being there um some great pronunciation thank you thank you did you watch house of gushi gushi i have not i have not watched i have not watched it yet i do need to watch I've heard it's fun. You know, I watch it because I am for better or worse, a Gaga super fan. Also, Gaga, some might say, is the Guy Fieri of pop music. Yes, I'm going to leave you with that. I'm going to put that in your pipe for you to smoke. pipe for you to smoke it's like look i just felt a wave crash over me of truth but also i wasn't sure if i wanted in another part of me to agree and grab hold of that you can just think about it. Just food for thought. I knew. Something to chew on. Oh, will I be chewing on that? Woo! Woo, it's getting hot in here.

Okay. Guy once said, I don't know if it's fair to call their Russian dressing Russian dressing. I think, again, a master marketer, that it should be called something sexy like liquid Moscow. marketer that it should be called something sexy like liquid Moscow. Do you think that this is a good idea considering what's going on right now? Would you say that calling it liquid Moscow means that Guy Fieri is pro-war or? I think that Guy Fieri said that at a very different geopolitical time. And I think that given what is going on in the world, I am going to not be commenting.

Gracefully pass. I'm gracefully going to pass on this question. You know, God, you have great presence of mind because sometimes Lucien writes these questions that I frankly am not behind. It's almost sort of like he's trying to have gotcha journalism yeah he's trying to kind of prank you know yeah and i say lucian you just need to chill out buddy you seem so chill when you're just sitting in your chair at the kern river having a mountain dew and then sometimes he comes out with these questions where i'm like come on these people are really important to me stop trying to catch them yeah he really sometimes he does like to like

you got got vibes but which is crazy because it's so the opposite of who i am i know you're not like that at all it is it is crazy i mean again this is why i think that i would love someone on one time with lucian and to kind of like hang and just be like what's up yeah i know look i'm always trying to weasel my way into his schedule and he sure does not make time for me. But although I do give him a lot of work, he's really busy. Yeah, he is. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.

of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on.

From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session.

24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?

I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. well all right guy likes to collect classic american cars as you already know because you know everything about him including a 1971 chevrolet chevelle a 1968 pontiac firebird and a 1976 jeep cj5 and 1969 chevrolet impala sala SS, which also means absolutely nothing to me, a person who's only seen four cars in her life. If you were hitchhiking and Guy picked you up in one of these classic cars, what three questions would you ask him?

And keep in mind, you can only ask him these three questions and then are not allowed to speak for the rest of the car ride really yeah what's your fantasy that's a good one that's a really good question what

is your drive what's your driving force and what is the soundtrack to your life wow you know i can see that those questions so incredible would take up probably the whole car ride wow yeah yeah i know he i would be dying to know what he'd have to say about that i feel like we could probably guess soundtracks to his life like i feel like there's definitely like i feel like he's really like depeche mode deaf leopard like white snake i feel like that's really sure what's going on. Wow. Sammy Hagar, Sammy Hagar. Wow. There is truly yard work happening next to me because someone is trying to silence my voice about how much I love Guy Fieri. Can you hear this? Yeah, I can imagine probably Pete Wells sent that over. No, I can't hear anything, so you're golden.

No silencing happening here. This is making it to the airwaves of masses. Dream on, Pete. Forward it again, pal. All right. Apparently, Guy wakes up every morning thinking about food. How often do you

think about food? And please be truthful, Greta. we have experts here who are listening in and they will determine if you're lying if they determine you are lying uh you could be not by my will immediately ejected from the show i wake up every single morning and i think about food that feels like deep truth to me It is honestly like I sorry to overshare. I need to have a gorgeous bowel movement every morning before I eat. So you wait. So I wait. But like in the window that I wait, I just dream. I'm like, what's it gonna be today you're making plans oh I'm making plans I make myself my breakfast ritual and this only started since moving to LA because I know what

you eat for breakfast I just like I have a little ritual you know you have eggs a piece of gluten-free toast. Yes, I do. Oh my God. Wow, Blair. Read me to fill. Look, that sounds appetizing. Some of the drinks that you drink, but a lot of other people I know drink them too. And I can't, like you drink matcha,

which is just crazy to me. And like, oh oh don't you drink like oat milk lattes and shit no i i can't i can't have lattes it's too much milk like i think lattes are nasty i know my my drinks are when i make my matcha and even when i order it out i ask for it to be mostly made with water and a little bit of almond or oat milk and then i drink cold brew with a little bit of almond or oat depending on my mood guy fieri sanctioned um what the fuck is up with matcha like because you know i like i like antioxidants i like that sort of thing. I like these like miracle health elixirs. And so in my head, I think, yeah, I'm going to love matcha. I'll drink some gnarly green shit.

And then I tasted it and I was like, this is ass. Where did you try it? I don't know. I've tried it multiple times. Oat milk too. You know how I feel about oat milk. Oat milk is not my fave. It's gross. I hate that I like almond milk. I know how I feel about oat milk. Oat milk is not my fave. It's gross. And like I

hate that I like almond milk. I know how bad it is for the environment. Oh I didn't know that. Don't at me. Love almond milk. It's bad for the environment. It takes the water. Because of the water. Yeah yeah yeah. That makes sense. Avocados too. Avocados take so much water. And they take nine months

to fully ripen like a damn baby. Yeah that's my yes my daddy has a many avocado father sake yeah he calls them raw avocados oh i want a raw avocado i'll bring you one i bet they're delicious yeah no problem yeah i i think the problem with matcha is a lot of people most people actually don't know how to make it properly because like there is a ceremonial aspect to making matcha yeah isn't it like an ancient thing like yes isn't it what what is it it's like a spiritual thing right um i don't fully know if it's spiritual but i know that there's like a traditional tea service okay it's like a ritual thing it's a ritual there's a specific way that you need to make it you know it goes back to the tang dynasty in china between the seventh and tenth centuries

i just want to know the truth here just tell honestly, did you have to acquire a taste for it? Or did you like it minute one? Like, cause I love a dirty martini, but it took me a while to acquire a martini taste for martinis. Like, cause when I tried matcha, I was like, no one actually likes this shit. Okay. I really like green tea. Okay. okay i really like green tea okay so i think that i like went into it

liking the kind of bitterness that comes with like a green tea and i also like the caffeine ride it takes you on what is the caffeine ride it's super like it's like mushrooms it's like super gradual and nice and you don't have it doesn't like fully drain your adrenals like coffee you know i drink coffee i get fucked up on coffee every day yeah i take my adrenals for the gnarly up and down roller coaster ride yeah i take like adrenal support supplements because I am fully like, you know, I want to get sucked and fucked by my coffee every day. And like, I have to put real limits on myself. Sometimes I create nasty habits where I'll like, I'll have one. I mean, I drink when I'm being really bad.

I, some days I can drink 48 ounces of cold brew. Really? I never knew that about you. That's, I mean, that's when I'm being like, you have to go through a script.

That's when I'm being like nasty, like really crazy. Like, you know, you're looking for a liquid enema. Yeah. Like on good days, I just have one large one and that's it.

Me too. And I'll drink it between like 8 and 9 a.m. Yeah. But like today felt a little crazy. I will have had, when the day is done. I will have had. Thirty six ounces of gold. Yeah, well, you you're exerting a lot of brain energy today.

You have a big day. But I always I know we've talked about this today because you know these actresses like Lucy Liu and Jennifer Lopez, they say that they don't have caffeine, which I cannot fathom because what their schedules are. Our schedules are already insane. And I'll find myself like, I cannot go do the show. I cannot do this audition unless I get caffeine. I'm so brain dead tired. I don't know how they're flying back and forth, like from China to California to all this stuff without having any caffeine. But I know it's so good for your skin.

Like their skin looks like babies. You know, for me, and I think this is why I also love Guy so much. Like I'm here to live. Like I'm on this earth to enjoy the pleasures of life and you Blair are very you really also reinforce that too like really thank you that's so nice of you to say well I want to enjoy my life on this earth right and like this life is so short I want to enjoy the pleasure of having as much goddamn coffee as I please because yes I love I love coffee coffee is a love of my life like I I love matcha too but like coffee for me

I after or before breakfast like coffee is what I wake up salivating for like a like a dog seeing raw meat i'm like coffee coffee yes okay well does does abe drink coffee for the listeners abe is um greta's beloved husband yes and yes he does drink coffee he drinks a black oh that's gnarly i try to do that sometimes just doesn't hit the same but he's not like he's not as crazy as i am it's not a taste connection for him it's more like just a function right yeah for him it's like i want to get i want the caffeine hit for me i'm like it's the flavor like i even will fuck around sometimes and just get like decaf americano because i just want the flavor right oh that's wild that's some crazy shit and that's why my teeth look like fucking corn kernels

what you are so crazy they do not gretta always has been saying this and they do not just gorgeous teeth okay corn nibblets they are not you're so nuts they're not even close. Beautiful teeth. Okay. Last question, because I have kept you so long. We have one more segment. But did you know that Guy Fieri hates eggs? Lucien found this out somehow. Do you feel comfortable continuing to consume your daily eggs?

Knowing this fact, does that mean you're not really a real Guy fairy fan i had no idea that guy doesn't like eggs yeah you never would know that it's crazy lucian does these deep dives must have done some hardcore digging no i mean he's special ops like i honestly he tells me that i'm not always allowed to know how he gets the information he says it's best if you don't know um because it does sometimes get dark like i don't i'm not really sure how he knows that guy doesn't like eggs well here's the thing i know that guy would support me in eating my eggs right even if he himself did not want to eat eggs with me right because he's a chill dude yeah and that's and that's all that i care about that's all that matters really is being a chill dude in life exactly but it is weird because i do picture him

eating the scotch egg or i a scotch egg or even like a benedict like i could trim eating a benedict or like hollandaise sauce like dumped on his head or like a burger with a fried egg on it or something that sounds so good or like a croque monsieur or madame whichever one has the egg you know but he would rename it if he's making that shit oh yeah he would rename it if he's making that shit. Oh, yeah. He would rename it like something fucking crazy. Oh, my God. This has been so fun. I cannot believe that the cruel fate of the world that we even have to end this episode. But I do have to ask you, we do have a fun segment called Fan on the Street, which will

eventually be listeners calling in with their celebrity encounter stories. But until then, since we're in our first couple episodes, I'd love to hear if you have a fun celebrity fan on the street story of your own that you'd be willing to share with our listeners. I mean I have I have like I know you have many you have 1000 I have a really cute one oh please we love cute here okay when i was in the fourth grade i was obviously obsessed with hollywood and i wanted to be a movie star right and my favorite thing was to watch nick at night and i loved i love lucy i loved happy days i loved all of it and of course i loved the fawns

aka henry winkler so we had to write a little paper when we were in like the fourth grade about someone we admired. And I decided to write my paper about Henry Winkler. Hilarious. Cut to like a week after we get this assignment. I'm in New York with my parents. We are at the hotel they would stay in in New York. And who am I riding the elevator with?

No. Henry Winkler. Oh, that's manifestation, baby. So my mom said to me, excuse me, Mr. Winkler, my daughter would love to meet you. She's writing a paper about you. And I'm like, nine years old, you know what I mean? And he's, and he's probably and he did say to me he was like you're writing a paper about me and I was like I am and then he said if you have any questions I'm going to give you the number to my office feel free to call me whenever you want that is the sweetest most charming thing you've I've ever heard in my life yeah and he gave me his fucking number for me to call him and ask him any questions that is so sweet did you ever call I didn't but for the longest I think

it's classy that you didn't call but still for the longest time I just had Henry Winkler's number in my phone whoa that's so sweet and I've also heard that he is like the best best person like I've also heard that he is like the best, best person. Like I've heard he's a wonderful, wonderful man. Oh, it's so nice that you feel that from him. And like, I would think that he's like that, but that's just so beautiful. Also a reminder, because even like at our level, you get so many people like messaging you asking for things. Yeah.

And it's like it gets overwhelming so to think of someone who has like that who was just like gives his number to a little girl this was at a time though when like there was so much space between yeah that people didn't have constant access to you right right yeah um but years years years years years later okay literally 20 years later i'm at my friend's birthday party and his son was there and i tell his son this story and he like loved the story and he was so happy to hear it that is so sweet i know oh my god that's the sweetest thing in the world wow i'm so glad uh that you participated in the fan on the street segment yeah it's a great story well greta how fun was this

so fun the the most uh guests most times guest i can't yes i don't know how that's called what you that title would be called in proper language. VIP guest, best guest of all time. Best guest of all time has been on the show the most of anyone else. And are we, what a big get for us. What a big get.
