Because it's packed with half a pound of cheese, sauce, and other toppings, and comes at an incredible price. Make the game winning call

and grab a DiGiorno Classic crust pizza from the grocery store today. It's not delivery, it's DiGiorno. Went for more, huh? Yeah, man. This popcorn's good. Without the binder too, geez. I got a little bit on my mustache,

a little bit on my microphone. You guys are crushing that. I just love the popcorn. But you're underestimating how mad Greg Cody is. He's seething, and I can't tell whether it's at his son or all of us, but Greg is proud. He is a very good cook. This is not disputable.

He is a very good cook, but to be 0 and 2 to us hurts him, and he just, he got blowed out. He just got blowed us hurts him, and he just, he got blowed out. He just got blowed out. Yeah, blowed out. Yeah, he got blowed out. It was a rout, no doubt about it. See, I don't think my dad would call popcorn or a turkey his specialty. That's true, but the loss is a loss.

Can we get to Chris? But he's the popcorn king. He did call himself the corn king and Greggy Brackets. He also, if he was a mafia, so he'd be Greggy Brackets, but he is mad now and he looked at you with disdain. Chris, I don't know, can you please be honest with us about your anger because I don't want the audience to think this is a bit. During the break, you were seething. I'm surprised and disappointed by the result.

I respectfully disagree with it, but I accept it. Okay. And what else can I say? I mean, I, you know. I mean, that's classy and defeat. I mean, he cares about his craft. I mean that's that's classy and defeat I mean he took he cares about his craft I appreciate that I mean a classy seeding of the competition while while maintaining your disappointment in it I like it it's good stuff it was

really good popcorn it's just yeah you came from king and it was a damn good turkey too you just it was a great turkey like I'm telling you the greatest turkey I've ever had to knock you off. Why am I building you up? You're the champ. You're Greg Corny. You don't need me. Greg Corny.

It is excellent popcorn, okay? Eh, don't, don't, no, no, no. I'm not patronizing you. I'm not. No, that Irish butter. In fact, I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get more of your popcorn. Greg, it's really good.

I mean, it- Can you give me more Dan's while you're out there? It is indisputably good, but you are indisputably angry. And I'm not sure, can you just be honest with me right now and tell me if there had been no veneer that you had been hiding anything in, you would have said what directly to your son if I had just given you a moment of blanket honesty

with no repercussions, because I saw the way you looked at him, and it was disdain. Like, it was not only disdain, you felt like you'd been betrayed. Correct. Yeah, yeah, my look had a little bit of WTF in it. It's not a little bit, it was,

this is not an act. I know, I have a history with your father and I know when he's both hurt and angry and this is a mix That if I'd had my connector I'd put them together and I would saw off Chris Cody's head If if I had I mean he poured literal salt in the wound To have the lot enough salt to love To have the loss come because his son who he's been cooking for all his life was like not a fan of the lemon pepper not enough seasoning after you were real loud about telling me that I was using too much seasoning.

Yeah it was over seasoned it was good I ate this whole cup it's good popcorn and and but for me it's too much season hindsight after the results do you regret eating all of Dan's popcorn because that kind of gave off how good it was I don't think Greg like season all that much because he said the same thing about my turkey he said it was all too salty. Look at all the seasoning leftover in Dan's bag. Oh yeah, and it's always leftover. Like that, I always have. That is a lot. It's an absurd amount of seasoning.

I keep using it though. I keep reusing it. It's wonderful forever because it's already made. So I've got a bunch of that at home. Where are you though? You've kinda checked out emotionally on the show. It really feels like you're bothered and you want to go home.

That's probably accurate. Yeah, on both. So you're going to drive home seething that you lost? Are you going to be saying to yourself, because I'm sorry to, I want this post game interview with the loser, the gracious loser. The gracious loser. The loser.

Man, that's cool. We usually use runner up or finalist, but please continue with the interview with the loser. The gracious loser. We're here now with the loser. He's giving us good post-game press conference at the time of maximum emotion. Can you get over it?

Don't worry about me. We're here with loser Jimmy Butler. You've lost in the finals so much, you're a loser. What food item challenged somebody at a, what's your food, it's a pork butt, right? Isn't that what you say you do the best? Yeah, but I'm done with this kitchen. No, no, come on. No, no, we're done.

Over to a man's ego and emotion can only take so much. No, I've retired from the Meadowlark kitchen. As a loser. A fun run. A gracious loser. He eats butt all the time. It is on the road and we should afford him that but you know I've had your soup. Your soup's really good. Soup's excellent. You know you just came for the king. Now you were known as a turkey king, but then you had a worthy challenger. And even you admitted that that was a superior bird. No, Roy made a great turkey.

So you're willing to admit Roy's was better but not Dan's popcorn? After losing four nothing? For me, you know, it's all a matter of taste, right? Literally. That's all it is. Yeah, really. I mean, for me. Well, you guys said it was about presentation,

and it seems like I won on taste it was I would say extremely Overseas and wow me Wow I think it's like I and I could tell in the kitchen when you were just literally like Pouring all of that stuff on the corn The corn has to be the star of popcorn and your popcorn does not allow the the corn to have the stage to Mostly to itself so you do this with not that's where we differ you do this with nachos, too

He doesn't like a lot of cheese on his nachos. No, I like this chip wants to be the star I'm like I got news for you, but the chip is not the star here You know I mean there are some that you know when you eat a grilled cheese sandwich you want the the toast, the bread and the cheese to marry well. You want to taste both. With popcorn you want the corn to stand out and you want the seasoning to be the supporting actor. Juju put it on the poll please. Does the corn want to be the star of the popcorn? Does the chip want to be the star of the nachos? Tony, before we leave here today, and Greg I'm sorry that you are so angry about this.

Oh my! Well, you stopped being a gracious loser when you said it was extremely over-seasoned. Now you're criticizing the winner. Well, for my palate, it was extremely over-seasoned. Now you're criticizing the winner. Now you're- No, for my palate, it was extremely over-seasoned. And the evidence- This is pretty damning evidence. The evidence is in the back.

I went to go grab popcorn. Your Honor, that is the exhibit A of my contention. I rest my case. Okay, but I disagree with you that the quarter- And my dad was like pinching a little, like, over his. I know, but how did I win? It's because I know my audience and their gluttons and the excesses.

We're Cuban, we have very refined palates. Well, speaking of that, thank you for bringing that up because Tony has now learned that he has a demo. Tony, who is getting very popular around here with a number of different demos, is more popular with one demo than all the other demos. Now, you might think, Letra Stugats, the way he's been pining for Tony,

that that would be the demo. It's sort of like that, but it's older. It's much older, Dan, and what I've realized, guys, is the demo that I kill in my Q rating in this demo is like astronomical. It's Cuban women from 65 to about 85 is a demo that I dominate. Okay, so I had a doctor's appointment and all the ladies that work at my doctor's office are in the demo. 65 to about 70 ladies who take their blood, you know, do all the things that the nurses do inside the office.

So when I walk in to the doctor's office, I am a superstar. They roll out the red carpet for me. No, no, this isn't a haven, ven conmigo, ven conmigo. They take me into the back. Como tu esta, tu esta tan grande, tu esta haciendo peso. Grande? Grande.

They had to ask me, you're so big. He's gotten so big. What are you doing? Are they holding your elbow, touching your arm a lot? Of course, cause they're feeling, they put the stethoscope to listen to your heartbeat. You won't struggle to find this vein. Exactly right.

So I go like this, cuat brazo quiere, cause they were gonna take out some. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha There's a cluny in there, right? So they start taking my blood, whatever. Or hit cluny. So much seizing flew off my hands when I hit it. Slammed my face, actually. It's all trapped under my nails. Now again, this isn't only at the doctor's office. This is when I go to the bakery, because I go to a bakery, a specific bakery,

every Saturday morning. They talk to me like the same way. I just have become a icon in the 60s and 70s and 80s, Cuban women demographic. I feel like your mom is in that same area where, you know. Mom loves toning. Mom loves toning. Yes, no offense, but I do great in the Levittar household.

And I have a top five list of names that I get called when I'm either at La Ventanita, at the medical establishment that I'm doing stuff at. It's funny. This isn't sexual harassment when Tony's receiving it. No. And old Cuban ladies are giving it. No, no, never.

If the shoe's on the other foot, though, this would feel all weird. It would. But again. Is you calling it, I don't know the phrase you just used, medical establishment instead of doctor's office. Is that me referring to the kitchen as the eating area? Yeah.

You get caught up in the air. I got things to say, but I got to cram it in. All right. Do you have OLI? I have one OLI. I mean, considering how big he's gotten over the last year, medical establishment might actually be a stretch for whoever this is.

OLI, what do we have? Mitesoro. Wow, really, that's OLI. That's OLI. Mitesoro in English is my treasure. Is this a, is this medical establishment by any chance on Berg Road and it looks like a house? It's off of Berg 57 actually, now that you mention it.

But a little bit further, closer to Corway than Berg. They got that whole row of just shady houses that got tax permits and business. Tony Bosch Avenue is what it is. Number five, mi corazon. Oh, my heart, man. My heart, I mean, when you walk in and say, let me get, you know, dos croquetas, let me get this, let me get, eso es todo mi corazon. Oh, my heart. My heart. I mean, when you walk in and say, let me get, you know, dos croquetas, let me get this and we got,

eso es todo mi corazon. And I'm like, oh, no, I need to buy more. It's also what I say after I have all this sodium. De Soto, is that treasure? I think of that as jewelry or bobble. I think of it as like a piece of treasure versus the actual treasure. I feel like the way I take it is a treasure chest

of things that are just incredible. How do you take it? Number four. Mi Rey. Oh wow. Oh my God. My king. Yeah, this is definitely a house.

My king, when they're taking my blood, get fuente to the mi Rey. I'm like, ladies, come on. Come on, what do you want me to do? This is a strong list. Number three. Mi amor. Yeah.

My love. I mean, like, come on. What do you want me to do? This is a strong list. Number three. Me amor. Yeah. I mean like, come on. Number two. This one is, uh, in the lineage of me re, but it's something that feels a little bit more personal. Me, me príncipe. My prince. Wow.

When you walk in. That one feels better than King because I'm like, oh, you still think I'm young. Exactly right. Mi príncipe. Like it's amazing. It's also more syllables of affection. The Latin language is very loving. They thought about that one. We're inefficient. We use a lot of syllables where we could use a few. Number one. Number one, there's nothing better than when you're getting a tostada, los huevitos fritos, la colada, whatever, and they call you. Coma mieda is number one. No. They call you mi vida. Ah.

Yes. My life. My entire life. My life. You're everything to me right now. That's a great list. That's an excellent list. That's a great list, mi vida.

An excellent effort by both Tony and the loser, ladies and gentlemen. Greg Healy. He is still seeming. He's so mad. I'm madder now because. Pero mi rey. gentlemen, Greg Coney. He is still seeming. He's so mad. I'm madder now because I tried my own popcorn and this was an unjust verdict. I'm sorry.

What happened to the gracious loser? I tried my own popcorn. Let's hear him out. I'm like, ridiculous unanimous judgment against me. This is an insurrection. I'm appealing this decision. This is an insurrection. He will not this decision. This is an insurrection. He will not...

You can't say stop the count when you got blanked, though. I am appealing this decision. You're not... you're not allowing the vote to stand. You're against democracy. He won by a lot.
