Starting point is 00:02:47 Eddie? Daniel? Oh, thank goodness you're here. I am here. Never leaving your side, buddy. Never? To the grave. Hey, speaking of death, my niece and nephew, they're past this now, but there was a time where the twins were,
Starting point is 00:03:05 I'm going to say five years old, and they had just learned about death somehow. My brother and his wife, they talk more openly than I do with my kids. But anyway, they had learned about death, and they thought it was the funniest thing in the world, the funniest thing. They would just come up to my brother and I, they'd come up to Andrew and I, and they'd just go, ha ha, your grandparents are dead. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:03:35 And it was, I'm telling you, it was so, first of all, twins in general terrify you. Right. They thought it was the funniest thing in the world to come up to is make your Grandparent are dead Crazy oh, it's so crazy, but man did it make us laugh. Oh, yeah, we laughed hysterically at it you I don't I mean, I'm sure it's he's like oh, it's just a phase They don't really know what they're saying
Starting point is 00:04:02 I'm like or they do and you've got a bunch of sociopaths living under your roof. Like my kids have never said it. Yeah. I don't know anybody that's ever said it like that. Never heard this story before. It's so good. This is different. And then we kind of like started feeling bad
Starting point is 00:04:15 cause they're like, ah, ah, ah. And we're like, oh, I wish, why did they have to die? They're old. Our grandparents shouldn't be alive. Nobody has a grandparent alive here, right? I do. You do? I do.
Starting point is 00:04:27 John's got an alive grandparent? Yes. Which one? My grandma, my dad's side, 94, last one. Your dad's side mom, 94. I mean, it's not that old. I saw her last year, she said her goodbyes, and I was like, I think you're gonna live
Starting point is 00:04:42 for like another nine years. She said her goodbyes a year ago to you and she's still going yeah now she's in a nursing home she just went to a prom and they had a play and she was the lead mmm yeah all right well here's my question to you Eddie yeah I got distracted by my crazy niece and nephew. Would you rather have your children or guacamole? Now, so what I'm saying is if you have your kids, then you can never have guacamole your entire life. And I've had it, so I know how good it is, right?
Starting point is 00:05:18 Okay. That's right. Guacamole is good. I'm gonna have my kids, but I'm gonna- You're gonna have your kids. I'm gonna hold it over them that I can't have guacamole You know what you would you would have never had your kids So you wouldn't have this attachment to them. You got to separate yourself from who they are now You got to think pre-children. I'm never gonna have guacamole again. I Mean I'm thinking I don't know. again. I mean, I'm thinking.
Starting point is 00:05:45 I don't know, it depends on. Here's the thing, I bring this up to my wife and I swear to you, she picks guacamole. What you have or if you did. She would rather have guacamole than her children. She won't say it out loud. But I can tell in her eyes, she just loves guacamole. You know who doesn't like guacamole? Myole. You know who doesn't like guacamole?
Starting point is 00:06:06 My mother. What? She doesn't like guacamole. She gets mad at me about avocados. Yeah, I don't know why people even like avocados. There's no taste. That's insane. Here's what I'll say.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Here's what I'll say in defense of my wonderful mother. Florida avocados are not as good. They're four times the size, but they don't have the taste. They're not indigenous to Florida. Well, I don't know where they're getting them from. I just think I just always remember seeing like really large avocados there, but they they didn't have any taste. Maybe, I don't know, maybe she's just wrong. Would you rather have? Margaritas or guacamole one of the other you can't have both for the rest of your life guacamole All right
Starting point is 00:06:58 What about guacamole or 200 million dollars cash guacamole I'm going cash you want the cash or $200 million cash. Guacamole. I'm going cash. You want the cash? I hope it's a real question. I would want the cash. I get cash and you guys get guacamole. Because if you have $200 million cash, you can buy guacamole.
Starting point is 00:07:13 No, no, no, no. Buy guacamole factory. No, I didn't say that. You can buy it. No one said you couldn't buy guacamole, John. John, here's what he wants to hear. That's not how I heard that. You know what this is turning into, guys?
Starting point is 00:07:24 This is now turning into a podcast where we are talking about absolute meaningless shit that only we find remotely entertaining and no one else does. I don't drink, but today's guest she's going to make me try.

There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond.
Starting point is 00:08:24 And left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's, Teddy escapes, blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you. The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president? Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control.
Starting point is 00:08:46 And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. My uncle Chris is definitely somebody worth talking about. He was the kind of guy that lived in a trailer with an ex-con and a retired stripper,
Starting point is 00:09:18 left loaded machine guns laying around, drank a bottle of whiskey a night, claimed he could kill a man with his bare hands, drove a garbage truck for a living, claimed he could kill a man with his bare hands, drove a garbage truck for a living, spoke fluent Spanish with a thick southern accent, and is currently buried in a crypt alongside the founding families of Panama. Listen to the Uncle Chris podcast to hear all about him and a whole lot more. Wild stories about adventure, romance, crime,
Starting point is 00:09:41 history, and war intertwine as I share the tall tales and hard truths that have helped me understand Uncle Chris. This collection of stories will make you laugh, it'll make you cry, and if I do my job right they'll let you see the world and your place in it in a whole new way. I can't wait to tell you all about Uncle Chris. Listen now to Uncle Chris on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRad Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Just like great shoes, great books take you places. Through unforgettable love stories and into conversations with characters you'll never
Starting point is 00:10:18 forget. I think any good romance, it gives me this feeling of like butterflies. I'm Danielle Robay and this is Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club, the new podcast from Hello Sunshine and iHeart Podcasts. Every week I sit down with your favorite book lovers, authors, celebrities, book talkers, and more to explore the stories that shape us, on the page and off. I've been reading every Reese's Book Club pick, deep diving book talk theories, and obsessing over book to screen casts for years.
Starting point is 00:10:47 And now I get to talk to the people making the magic. So if you've ever fallen in love with a fictional character, or cried at the last chapter, or passed a book to a friend saying, you have to read this, this podcast is for you. Listen to Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Today's guest is someone I would never meet out bar hopping simply because I don't go to bars. But if you have random bottles of liquor lying around your house collecting dust, like a fifth of fireball that Dylan brought over during the pandemic that you have absolutely no idea what to do with, she's here to help.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Please welcome home bartender, mixologist, author, Hannah. Thank you so much for having me. Let's get hammered. Okay, I'm ready. Hannah, do you believe in ghosts? I do not. Do you believe in ghosts? No.
Starting point is 00:11:44 What about distilled spirits? Boom. Yes. Yes. I'm a big believer in that kind of spirit. We've been setting up this ghost question for a year and a half to finally get Hannah in the seat so I can do the distilled spirits joke.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Man, that was a good payoff. All right. I'm not a drinker, but I'd love to know what all the fuss is about. Sell me on alcohol. Mm. Wow. I don't think I've ever had to do this before.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Mm-hmm. Well, for making cocktails, it makes you, you probably don't need this, but it makes you very popular. OK. So learning to make cocktails, everyone's always thrilled to have you come to their house, come to their party. It's like you light up a room the minute
Starting point is 00:12:24 you arrive with the drinks and the skills. I don't want to show up to anyone's house, come to their party. It's like you light up a room the minute you arrive with the drinks and the skills. I don't want to show up to anyone's house, so I got it. We're different there. So that was an original interest for me once I realized that I could make something that actually tasted decent. The other thing that I really love, and I don't know if you're a history person,
Starting point is 00:12:38 but it really can connect you in a very visceral way to how people have experienced things in the past, which I love. I think that's really cool, especially things like cognac, for instance. Do you say cognac different than I say it? How do you say it? I just said cognac. Cognac. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Okay. People make fun of my voice all the time. I'm not making fun of it. It's okay. But I know that I grew up in Florida public education. I know that I enunciate things poorly. So sometimes when I hear things, I'm like, oh, I've been saying that wrong. Well, I'm from Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, which probably explains my interest in booze. And I had a Wisconsin accent, so I've spent years trying to get rid of it. If you were to say Wisconsin, I would have a certain preconceived notion of who you are.
Starting point is 00:13:20 But when you say Madison, it completely erases it. So you know Wisconsin, then, because that is so true. Madison is very different from the rest of the state. Why were you there? My father was a professor at the university, so. That makes sense. Yeah, he's a psychopharmacologist and an addiction researcher.
Starting point is 00:13:38 So he researches how to stop people from being addicted, and I do booze for a living. You're his experiment? Were you created? I don't know how, I guess this is all a very advanced rebellion. You ever do a bar crawl in La Crosse? No, I haven't.
Starting point is 00:13:55 I think famously they have the most bars per square foot. That sounds like Wisconsin. Look that up. I think that's a La Crosse fact that I just pulled from my younger years of touring. When someone asks what you do for a living, how do you answer? Probably how I'm going to now,
Starting point is 00:14:13 which is awkwardly, slowly, and with stutters. You know, I'm a booze content creator. Booze? Yeah. I mean, that kind of makes it seem cooler when you throw booze. You're like, look, I don't take it too seriously How is your liver? That's a good question
Starting point is 00:14:30 So far so good You ever worry that oh no, I might be going too far with alcohol You just have no issues with it. I think it's so important to keep asking yourself those questions, right? I mean, it's an addictive substance. So if you're not kind of thinking about that and looking into it, I mean, there are health consequences, behavioral consequences. So yeah, I'm constantly thinking about it and, you know, making sure I'm not overdoing it. Do you drink every day?
Starting point is 00:14:53 No, not every day. That would be a lot, probably. I drink only to reassure the people that I'm with that I'm not an alcoholic, because I just always feel like if I say I'm not gonna drink, then I have to have more conversations. Okay, we have to be very, very careful. Yeah, no, I get that.
Starting point is 00:15:11 I'm curious, were you ever interested in drinking? Not even in college or nothing? No, less in college than now. So when you went to parties, you were just like, I'm cool. Here's, I'm not, I certainly wasn't cool, but I was on the prowl. I was always like, I was chasing skirt, as they say. That was, I mean, I guess I was, but not successfully.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Oh, it was just bad. And I also didn't go to a lot of parties. My roommates drank a lot. And that probably was like, you know, maybe you saw that and you was like, you know, maybe you saw that and you were like, I don't know if that's for me. I think I wasn't into the taste. I never got to the point of like getting trashed and you know nobody was fixing me fun cocktails. They were all just drinking beer and I'm
Starting point is 00:15:57 like this is gross. You know I feel like growing up maybe watching movies or reading about history I romanticized it so much that I was like you're going to learn to like martinis. I don't care if you don't like the taste of it. And it did take me about a year, but then I fell in love with them. A year. I see. I've never committed to anything for a year to like it. I mean, I wanted to be cool really badly. Mission accomplished. You started your studies in Center College in Danville, Kentucky. Now, is that a real place is my first question. It is a real place.
Starting point is 00:16:27 I wanted to go someplace that was completely different from Madison, Wisconsin. Is it? Is it that different? Oh my gosh. It's so different because Madison's like a huge hippie town and I'd never lived in the South or experienced the South in any way and it really was a very different experience. Do you hate the South? No, I don't hate the South
Starting point is 00:16:45 I thought it was beautiful there and talk about his I didn't oh my god history some revisionist history going on down Yeah, you study revisionist history. I did not do much Studying when I was at Sentra. I was not a good student there Then you went to law school for a minute or no I went to law school for one semester at UCLA and it was not for me. Have you ever dabbled in law school? Yes Did you I'm an idiot Okay, no, I have never dabbled in law school I didn't I I barely I got through college fine But like that was it. I told my parents well, you know going to Center College
Starting point is 00:17:20 I actually dropped out and I was telling my parents. I don't a degree college is stupid I don't want to do this. You're right. Funnily when I got to LA I fell in love with the college and I wanted to become a professor actually after the whole thing but um. You'd be a cool professor. I really wanted to do it but going into academe is not a clever idea in this day and age it's it's very limited jobs no money just kind of a meager miserable existence. Oh, well you're not doing a good job selling it at all. Yeah, I don't recommend, I mean, well everyone. What about now, like if it was more like a part-time hustle, where you just like taught one or two classes
Starting point is 00:17:55 at a cool college. I would love that. That would be so fun, I would love that, yeah. Hey, you majored in history. First, is that knowledge something that you use regularly? And second, do you consider the Marshall Plan to have been a major catalyst for the Cold War? I don't have a lot of feelings about the Marshall Plan. I did more of the Cold War Eastern European dissident intellectual history was more my focus. History is a huge part of what I do
Starting point is 00:18:21 with booze, which is something I never thought would be the case. I thought if I didn't go into academe, history is pretty meaningless for your life. But luckily, when you're writing about booze and learning about booze, it's an important skill set. When did cocktail culture first emerge? Hunch was a huge thing for a long time, and it wasn't until the 19th century where people started making it really individually as the go-to in bars. Obviously took a bit of a hit during Prohibition.
Starting point is 00:18:45 And then we have something called the Cocktail Dark Ages from like the 60s, well, 70s, 80s, 90s, like think, you know, Tom Cruise, the movie Cocktail, TGI Friday's Cocktail. Did you like the movie Cocktail? It's a fun movie. I'm not sure I'd consider him an aspirational bartender. I mean, good flair bartending.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Do you know how to throw a bottle around and stuff? No, no. That would be dangerous. Have you ever tried? Yes, but not successfully. OK. I mean, I'm, yeah, not my skill. Very cool to watch, but yeah. But so the cocktail dark ages, it's
Starting point is 00:19:20 when people started using fake sweeteners and fake citrus and all these wacky mixers that, you know, weren't very good. And the bad peach snops, the anatomically named shots became popular, all of that sort of thing. And then around the year 2000, we started coming out of the dark ages. Ah.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Did you ever enjoy a Jell-O shot? Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's some good Jell-O shots out there. Oh, yeah, I don't know. There's a place in Portland, Oregon. This is, as someone who doesn't drink, this is gonna be a meaningless deal. How long have you lived in Portland, Oregon? Since 2020.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Oh, did you move there before or after the pandemic? I moved there. Do you remember how the Princess Cruise Line was docking in San Francisco? And that's where everyone was like, the plague is coming to America. I don't really remember. I was driving out of San Francisco to Portland
Starting point is 00:20:06 as it was docking. So we were right, we just fled the city. Was it because of the pandemic that you moved? Partly, but also San Francisco wasn't my favorite place to live. Do you love Portland? I do. We have a really good grocery store
Starting point is 00:20:18 that I'm obsessed with. I go there every day. I feel like Belle from Beauty and the Beast. And I look at the beautiful produce and I get very inspired there. You go to a grocery store every day. Pretty much. I respect it. I love grocery stores.
Starting point is 00:20:29 I wish I loved it. Oh, yeah. It's- I love, I love getting fresh food every day, but just going there. Having one that's like that special one that you just know that you love and you can rely on, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:20:44 and that there'll always be something fresh and different. My problem is I have two children that I have to lug, and then they both are like making me get the stupid cart that's like shaped like a police car, and then they're like climbing in and out of it, and now I've got to do physical restraint up against the car. It's just awful, the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Can you hold your liquor? Pretty well, pretty well. I'm sometimes surprised I'll be out with friends and I'm like, why are they acting so funny? And then I go, oh. You're not a lightweight. No, no I'm not. Not.
Starting point is 00:21:17 No. Expensive. Can you just go to a party and be like a guest or is there pressure for you to grab a shaker every time? I love making cocktails at parties. I mean, I'm a bit of an introvert, so having like an activity to do, a little way to escape into the kitchen for a while is great for me. But yeah, I also just love making drinks. I enjoy the process. So I hope I'm supposed to make drinks when I go someplace.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Have you ever worked as a bartender? No, no, I haven't. The closest I got was I was a barista at Starbucks for about three weeks, which was awful I mean not because of the job because of me. I was terrible at it I'm not a morning person having to wake up at 3 a.m. When I just gone to bed at 2 a.m Yeah, an hour is not enough. Yeah. Yeah all the experts will say that Do you drink coffee? Are you a big coffee person? Are you a bad coffee person? I'm not a snob I'm like an espresso next to my bed, just put in the pot and you know,
Starting point is 00:22:08 I do it medicinally. How about you? I don't drink any caffeine. I'm like a Mormon. Oh, you got to meet my wives. Beautiful. All of them. How do you come up with your recipes?
Starting point is 00:22:19 I often go from a historic recipe where I'll look at that and I'll kind of make some adjustments. By the way, here's what I do appreciate the most, I will say, about, because I don't drink them, but they're so visually beautiful. Yeah. I mean, that I can appreciate. My favorite drink, I don't drink ever. Okay. You have to understand that. I love, this is going to reflect on me. I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:22:41 You're going to judge me. So there's a passion fruit margarita at Nobu that I love. That sounds nice. That sounds lovely. Passion fruit is great. Oh, I love it. That's my one, I'm always getting excited when I have it. Have you ever tried a porn star martini? No.
Starting point is 00:22:58 That's a passion fruit based cocktail and there's a little sidecar of champagne with it. Whoa. You hear that? Sidecar. I love getting little sidecar of champagne with it. Whoa. You hear that? Sidecar. I love getting a sidecar of anything. That sounds fancy. Do they all taste like, are you happy with the way they taste
Starting point is 00:23:13 or are some of them bad? Oh, some of them are awful. One of our favorite series is Weirdly Dirty Martinis. And this is something where we don't taste it before we make the video. I just make this thing and then my husband and I will give our review after we make it. And before we make the video. I just make this thing, and then my husband and I will give our review after we make it. And sometimes it's pretty bad.
Starting point is 00:23:28 I did a melon prosciutto one, vile, absolutely awful. I tried to do the tinned fish craze is really big. I tried to fat wash a gin with the tinned fish oil, and I don't, have you ever by any chance had fermented shark in Iceland? I've had some bad stuff Yeah, it's one of those things where your body is like this shouldn't be it doesn't go down. It's just I just what was that thing They can of what that I opened. What was it sir?
Starting point is 00:23:55 Sir strawman get a can of so strawman Okay, try that one and just open it up and see what you can do with it Oh, man, so strawman if you can get a can of that, open it and turn it into a drink of some kind. I'm too terrified. Are there any drinks that you can't stand? And what's your beef with a vodka martinis? Okay, I mean, I think so a lot of people who did drink potentially in college and high school,
Starting point is 00:24:19 they have that one spirit that maybe they over consumed a bit. So the taste of it, the smell of it is. Triggering. Yeah, triggering. It also doesn't have much flavor. Like a good vodka is supposed to taste like nothing. Which to me is not really what I go for. I want something with some good flavor. So.
Starting point is 00:24:36 To quote my good friend deceased, Sean Rouse. He's like vodka, it's just a nice kiss to the liver. Well put. What about eggnog? Is there a way to not make it gross? Vodka, it's just a nice kiss to the liver. Well put. What about eggnog? Is there a way to not make it gross? I think egg drinks in general, disgusting. I'm not an egg person. I find it smells like a wet dog to me.
Starting point is 00:24:56 It's the idea of it is very gloopy and unappealing. I always, eggnog, I always think of David Tell, a comedian. He refers to it as elf come He says you might as well throw it on your back. Well, yeah, one of my earliest successful One of my earliest successful tick tocks was a how to make eggnog and it was put it in the thing put some whipped cream On top then put it in then throw it down the sink because eggnog is fucking disgusting. Sorry I don't know if I can swear you can swear you I just said elf come Pretty sure I can swear. You can swear. I just said, elf come. I'm pretty sure you can swear.
Starting point is 00:25:27 You ever made a pruno? What is that? Toilet wine. Ah, well, at the beginning of the pandemic, I did experiment with the process. I never brought it to completion. I'm too afraid of botulism, and I don't know what else. But I did put the bread and the sugar
Starting point is 00:25:45 and every, the ketchup, I think. Yeah. And then you put it in the plastic bag and you put it in the back of the toilet. Well, sure. You don't want the guards to see it. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. But I mean, we just didn't know at the beginning of the pandemic how dire things would get.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Your videos have so many props, backgrounds, and color schemes. Was that always the plan? No, no, not at all. I don't know why we started doing it, but once we did, we had so much fun with it that we kept going. I think we had been in apartments forever,
Starting point is 00:26:15 and then when we finally had a house, we were like, look at all this space that we can just abuse. Let's destroy it. Yeah, exactly. We're far too immature for that much house. You guys will like change your setup completely. You'll paint walls.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Yeah, it's like a fun house in there. It's awful. Every wall is a different color and we're always just kind of doing stuff to it. It's been fun. And what about clothes shopping? Do you like go? Yeah, I love clothes shopping.
Starting point is 00:26:42 I do estate sales, vintage places. You'll buy dead people's stuff? Oh, yeah. You do? It has a story. It's cool. Yeah. I know.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Usually it's baked in. Yeah, and I still don't believe in ghosts. So, so far. How'd you meet your husband? We met years ago in 2006. And we met on the set of a commercial, which was very random. And it was love at first sight. in 2006 and we met on the set of a commercial which was very random and it was love at first sight.
Starting point is 00:27:08 He was, he had just come from New York. He was suffering from amnesia. What? And I had just come. He's a rom-com. It's pretty wild and I had moved to LA one before. Did he fall off a track, a railroad track? What?
Starting point is 00:27:21 Amnesia? You know, yeah, he was, I thought. I don't even believe in amnesia. Okay, so it was so unbelievable to me. I was convinced it was a pickup line because, you know, this is crazy. You married, you got catfished by somebody that's still with you.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Well, funnily, my mother also didn't believe this and she got a PI to check up on his story. Just what? You have a good mom. She didn't tell me till like two years ago and I was shocked, but yeah, yeah. It's quite a story. I mean, what if he already had a family that two years ago and I was shocked. But yeah, yeah, it's it's quite a quite a story. I mean, what if he already had a family that he just left?
Starting point is 00:27:48 I worried about that. I worried about that. I was like, man, I really hope he doesn't eventually remember something pretty bad. I don't know. But so far, it's been almost 20 years and no massive surprises. How did you meet your wife? I don't remember. Your husband now works for you? He's so good at what he does that sometimes I'll be like, please stop presenting me with all of these things that I'm supposed to be doing.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Because he's the business side and he's an incredible hustler. And he loves reading contracts, loves doing all the communications. He's got spreadsheets and just he's so on top of it. Sometimes- Is that something that he learned after the amnesia wore off? Or like, cause sometimes you can have amnesia and then you're like, all of a sudden you can play the piano.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Like maybe his brain was opened up in a different way. I think part of it was that he did have to stop relying on his memory so much. So he's a big writer downer. He writes everything down. He- Oh, you're married to a memento. I got it. Yeah, he is very much that way. He writes everything down. He knows about every- Oh, you're married to a memento. I got it.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Yeah, he is very much that way. Or 50 first dates. Do you have a little VHS tape that you put in every morning to let him know who you are? Hey. Yeah, and it's a different one every day. Is he more susceptible to another? I think he is.
Starting point is 00:28:57 And he's had a lot of concussions, so. What is he, why would he have a lot of, is he clumsy or does he? You know, he's not a good looker where he's going sometimes He's one of these people who I think is so goal oriented that if he wants the thing over there He will go there and all obstacles. He doesn't know that he can't go through objects So I think he has to keep me around to make sure you know someone can call 9-1-1
Starting point is 00:29:27 call 911. Uh huh. Right here. If you have friends over to your house on a random Tuesday, are they getting served the wackiest martini ever? You know, not always but often. I feel like it's really fun to do a crazy martini. There's one in particular that I like that I did bring today. Mm-hmm. It's a junk food martini and it's in my book. I don't know if you like sea salt and vinegar potato chips but it's infused. I hate it. I hate vinegar. I hate the smell of vinegar. Oh, you're gonna hate this.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Oh, I despise it. I despise it. Let me tell you, as a child, when my parents would force us to dye Easter eggs, you use vinegar and the whole house would reek. And I would just, I would literally, I wanted to be a part of dyeing the eggs, but I would be dry heaving because I can't stand the smell
Starting point is 00:30:08 then there was a kick word they told us to start every day drinking white vinegar to start I don't know what they were telling us to drink what was it apple cider vinegar cider vinegar sorry apple cider and that I I've always loved vinegar. I, as a child, I loved it. I don't know. I love the whole salmon vinegar on my pasta. I know. Were you a picky eater as a child? No. No?
Starting point is 00:30:33 No, I had too many, there's too many siblings and we were poor. So you weren't the just the chicken McNuggets and fries. No, no, we didn't, I didn't get McNuggets. You know, again, I'm like, we're poor, poor. I think so. I think we're poor. I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Favorite city to drink in? I think the one that surprised me the most is Vegas because I always had only been to the strip and I wasn't a big Vegas strip person. So when I went this last time for the series I do called Drinking River bartenders tell me to. Which is also something that no woman should ever do. I have my husband with me, so he's, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:12 always there to make sure we're safe. So it's a series that you do where you go to a city, you go to a bar, probably a popular bar, and then wherever that bartender tells you to go next, that's what you do. I go there and I drink what they drink so like for instance in Maui We started at the Ritz Carlton Kapaluwa, and we thought the bartender there You know is going to be some fancy suggestion instead
Starting point is 00:31:35 It was a dive bar down the street and a beer a shot of Jaeger and a shot of tequila This is how we had to start off the crawl and you have to drink whatever they tell you to and then you go To the next place. I mean you certainly don't It's all on camera. I've got it. I do a lot of stuff on camera. Guess what I fucking cheat some stuff You think I'm gonna drink your fucking vinegar a drink? Well, you know caught like, you know, they're like, ah, she's not even she doesn't actually do it And you know, then I got a bad reputation Listen, I appreciate that there's integrity
Starting point is 00:32:07 It's one of the few careers where I'd get a bad reputation for not drinking to excess. But yes I will vague it was there a the Vegas. Where did they tell you to go? I started at a place called Vetri There's a bartender called. He's not just another bartender is his handle. He's great He sent me to a place called Herbs and Rye, which was, it's awesome. Okay, Dylan, the alcoholic, but got excited. He made a Ramos gin fizz, which I don't know if you know what that is.
Starting point is 00:32:34 I don't. But you have to shake this thing for like three minutes because there's egg in there and it's very difficult. You don't like egg drinks. I don't like egg drinks, but the process is incredible to watch. Back in the day when they were invented, they'd have seven bartenders shake
Starting point is 00:32:48 a single one of these drinks, because once someone's arms got tired, they'd pass it off to the next one. I could shake for three minutes, no? You gotta shake. You have to be very vigorous with it. You remember the shake weight? Yes, yes I do.
Starting point is 00:33:00 I don't know if that's how they train, but. I'm just imagining that a three minute session on that would be LA yes, you have any bar recommendations here. I do I haven't lived here in a while, but I've never been to Thunderbolt. I really want to go to Thunderbolt I hear great things. I've always had fun at Normandy Club Republic there's another great bar. Um, you know, it is really wonderful Yeah, I don't know when you go out to bars. I don't go out. Yeah, I don't, I don't.
Starting point is 00:33:25 When you go out to bars and you're not... I don't go out to bars. You don't go out to bars. Anna, I don't go out to bars. I don't go out. So, okay, you don't go out. So you're not in a position where you're there with other people drinking and you're like, ugh, okay. My entire, my entire life was surrounding myself
Starting point is 00:33:39 with people that accept that I'm not gonna go anywhere or I'm gonna say that I'll meet you there and that I will not be there. Do you have'm going to say that I'll meet you there and then I will not be there. Do you have people over to your house or do you just avoid? Yeah, my wife does and I get furious. And then I, and I, here's what I do at two hours. It's like things are going to start getting uncomfortable. Like you better get them, you better get them to leave because I'm going to start walking
Starting point is 00:34:03 around the house, turning the lights off Closing doors like let's go. Let's get out of here. I love it. It's not my thing I I think two hours is the appropriate amount of time to be at someone else's home I hear that there's a section in the book that I wrote about How to be a better drinker you wrote this the way, a lot of weight to this book. Feels nice, it feels nice. Thanks, thank you, thank you. Look at you with your cognac,
Starting point is 00:34:31 oh and a wooden tennis rack in the background. I'm sorry. Oh, it's colored. Yeah. That explains the price tag too. What color photos in a book? I'm in the publishing game a little bit. I was hearing that you're writing a book with your wife.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Oh, I am. And how is working with her? Oh, it wouldn't happen if it wasn't with her. She's doing everything. Oh, amazing. I have to start. Oh, look at all these photos. Yeah, your photos are really pretty.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Oh, thank you. I take them. Is that drink good? Yes. A lawn sprawl, G&T? Yes, it's a nice one for outdoor drinking in the summer. But I was going to say, we have a section in the book about how to kick people out of your house.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Oh yeah? So I don't think you have to drink in order to use the methods. Okay. Give me a spoiler of a tip of how to kick somebody out. So we have a number of tips based on how confrontational you care to be. So I don't see that you struggle
Starting point is 00:35:25 tremendously with confrontation. I enjoy awkwardness and I enjoy confrontation. As long as it's verbal, not physical. So I think you would probably be fine by just like, okay, go home. But for people who struggle with that a bit like I do, tips on how to lie to get them out. And then my favorite,
Starting point is 00:35:42 which is gaslighting them out of the house. So you make it warmer in the house and they keep saying it's getting warm. You make it warmer in the house. This is actual gaslighting, got it. If they want another drink, you make it pretty weird. The playlist, you know, it's Gregorian chants all of a sudden and they stop wanting to be there.
Starting point is 00:35:59 These aren't subtle at all. No, no, but once someone's had a few cocktails, they start to go, is this me? Is this weird or is it just me? Your book also talks about drinking etiquette. Yes. You know who could use a lesson in drinking etiquette? Old Dylan back there.
Starting point is 00:36:13 God, oh man, does he put him away. How many drinks you have this morning, Dylan? Be honest. This is a safe space. I passed out, what did you say? No, huh? All right, everybody that's on the show gets a gift. Oh, excellent. Let's see what I get for you.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Just so you know, it's not new stuff. Just stuff from my house I don't want. I wish I'd brought you something. You're gonna make me a drink. Okay, these are Tom Ford glasses that I bought my wife and then she put them on and I made fun of her. I don't remember this. I made fun of her and then she- You really set her up. I didn't mean to. I just like, I don't know what I said
Starting point is 00:36:46 But I said something and she refused to ever wear him again, but I thought they're silly enough for you Silly enough for me. Okay. No like you hey, they look lovely right? They are lovely She she but she won't ever put them on because she said I teased him. Okay, so you got a pair of glasses now Thank you. Thank you. I'm a bit of a mixologist myself. I have a machine at my house that does sparkling water. Okay. Yes. And all I all I do is flavor my sparkling waters but I don't like any of the flavors that I'm giving you. Oh good. I didn't like this. That's a raspberry mint. I didn't like it. I didn't want you to have that. It sounds like it would be good in a cocktail. This is horrible. You should never have bubbly water with pineapple in it. Oh, okay. Okay, this I don't know somebody I don't know why somebody gave me this bottle of tequila, but I don't want it. Nice. So you can have it. Your wife doesn't want it? No, she doesn't have a say.
Starting point is 00:37:36 I got some beer koozies. I don't I don't ever drink beer. Why are there beer koozies? You thinking I want all these gifts? Oh, wonderful. Just throw those on the field. Thank you. You're very That's aviator nation why they there's somebody bought me a gross bottle of rosé, but I don't know if it's gross That's not gonna fit in my wine fridge. So is that a is that a rosé Cognac? I don't know what it is It's not mine. It's yours Interesting. All right, is it interesting or is it hideous? I do think it's a wine interesting I don't know whatever, but you please put it all on the floor cuz we can't have it up here this Is that garbage tequila? I I've never had it. I'll have to wait. That's garbage. That looks good. Is it good?
Starting point is 00:38:16 I don't know. Well, I don't is tequila bad or good it right it can be good Love tequila here. Oh My goodness, it actually scared me me tequila. Here. Oh my goodness. It actually scared me. Me too. All right. Oh my goodness. My poor desk. Hey, puzzles. Yeah, I got you two tiny puzzles.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Thank you. Thank you. You know what I want you to do? I want, since they're tiny puzzles, I want you to pull down your tray table on Alaska Airlines and see if you can knock out a puzzle before you land. Oh man, I love it. Yeah, I'm gonna do it.
Starting point is 00:38:49 What are some of the basic staples you can keep on hand to make some simple cocktails at home? I think as long as you have a citrus, like a lemon or a lime. I got both of those. Perfect, perfect. Some sort of sweetener and then pretty much any straight spirit.
Starting point is 00:39:04 You have a really good start there. So vodka, gin, bourbon, rum, tequila, you name it. And that's all you really need. When did we start needing 400 different types of ice on hand? There's two types of ice. Ice is a big deal. I want cubed and crushed, anything else. I go fuck yourself is what I say.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Oh man, ice is a really big deal. You want a sphere of ice? Do you make the, what kind of trays are in your freezer? So we go way crazier than that. We do the directional freezing for the clear ice and then we chop it with a saw at our house. What is going on? Because the clear ice melts at a slower rate, so it doesn't dilute your drink as quickly. I remember at one point people were buying I remember as a child those
Starting point is 00:39:47 Reusable ice cubes. Yeah, that is disturbing That was thrown in a drink as a child some my there's no way my parents cleaned it They tried to make it cool to do that again with whiskey stones Which are like rocks you put in the freezer and then you put in your drink. They're not very effective I agree there's something gross about that to me. They, I don't know. I don't trust any place. They're not cleaning it. Not well enough. If someone at home wanted to impress their guest, what's a simple drink they could make?
Starting point is 00:40:17 To impress. To impress. I think a boulevardier is always a nice one. It's three ingredients. Okay. And all you're doing is switching out the base spirit. And it's a sophisticated, lovely drink. You can make it ahead of time. It doesn't go bad.
Starting point is 00:40:30 So you can keep it in your freezer and it looks pretty. It's got like, you know, a cool name. I think that's a really good, easy one. I like equal parts. You start saying a splash of this and I get scared. You just fold the cheese. Boulevardiers are strong though. Boulevardiers are three spirits together
Starting point is 00:40:46 Yes, they are strong, but I think you know you still seem impressive. You know, but they're very strong very strong Dylan wants a lot of bangers, but Dylan wants a lot of bang for his buck. Get a little loose-lipped over here. Okay, Han, are you gonna make me a drink? I am gonna make you a drink. I brought two. Okay, I'm excited for both. Okay. You didn't bring the vinegar one though, did you?
Starting point is 00:41:14 You did, okay, great. You're gonna hate it, but I was expecting that. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Start with the good one. Okay, good. Okay. You do whatever you gotta do. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Yeah, whatever you gotta do. True or false, mixology is a term that was coined by every asshole behind a bar who sports a vest and has an over the top mustache. It's pretty widely made fun of at this point. Yeah, I don't think anyone wants to go by that anymore. What, did you bring an ice scooper just for that? I have a lot of paraphernalia. It just seemed like you could have just thrown some ice
Starting point is 00:41:43 in there, I'm not gonna, I'm not a germaphobe. Oh, are you putting milk in something? Hey, you said you like chocolate milk. I did not say I like chocolate milk. Maybe when I was six. Do you have any, I have IBS. This is, she's gonna light me up. No.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Can most cocktails be turned into mocktails that are even more delicious while costing the exact same astronomical price? I think that we're doing a lot with mocktails right now. I'm still rarely find a mocktail I like as much as a cocktail. I went to this place in Tahoe City and they have all these like non-alcoholic whiskeys and gin. I'm just like, it's just. I prefer mocktails that just don't even really try. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Yeah. I want something that my kid can sip. Yeah, there's one that I make around the holidays that I really like because. What holidays? Like Christmas and Thanksgiving. You love Christmas? I do, I love Christmas.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Oh, I love Christmas too. All right, so what we're gonna do here is we have some cognac, some creme de cacao, and some Grand Marnier. So that's chocolate and orange and cognac with some heavy cream. Sorry. No, you don't have to apologize.
Starting point is 00:42:59 It might be delicious. All right, so we do that. And then you wanna close the shaker really well so it doesn't explode. Now I'm going to have to stand up. OK. I'm nervous. OK, look at this.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Now is this going to be, is this going to get prettier? Or is this it? It's going to get a little prettier. OK, good, because that's what I wanted. I want to drink. Oh, what kind of chocolate is this? This is an orange chocolate. Oh!
Starting point is 00:43:27 You don't like orange chocolate? No, I don't like orange chocolate. Why? Oh man, the orange chocolate is a Christmas treat. You know, those chocolate oranges. Why wouldn't you go with just a regular dark chocolate? Is it milk chocolate or dark? No, it's dark.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Okay, how much cacao are we talking? I don't have the wrapper. Honey, do you want to see how much? Don't worry about my desk All right. How much cacao is in the chocolate? Yeah, yeah, it's like over 70. Is it over 70? That's all I know. I don't think it is I don't think it's that chocolate. You could have gotten a smaller file Is that a foot file? If you brought a foot file here. All right. Okay, here you are. Is this finished? This is a chocolate orange Brandy Alexander.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Chocolate orange Brandy Alexander. Yes. And I'm just supposed to sip it and enjoy it? Or am I supposed to chug it? Cheers? Cheers. Thank you for making this. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:20 You don't have to like it. I don't, no, I don't like it. I don't like it, but it's not like I'm not struggling to choke it down. Okay, that's good, that's good. It's just, part of me was like, well I'd rather just eat that chocolate bar. Does anybody, does this drink sound delicious to one of you? It sounds good. Dylan, Dylan, get over here, I got a drink for you.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Dylan, let's see your review. Dylan's coming in. He said free alcohol. Let's have a real drinker taste it and tell me if you think, oh, that's a fun drink. So this is the one that I tend to make for people who don't like the taste of alcohol. Oh yeah, all I taste is alcohol. That's so funny. Yeah, it's really good. Good? Well, drink it all. All I taste is alcohol. That's so funny. Yeah, it's really good. Good.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Well, drink it all. It's a lot of heavy cream and it's very early. Why are you not gonna drink it? I'm not gonna check it. Just drink it. Oh my God. You have a problem. Don't act like you don't want alcohol all the time.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Oh my God. Yeah, take it over there. I love it. Take it over there and fix our fucking audio. Oh my God. Well, thank you for being good sport. No, that was nice. Let's get this next one out here.
Starting point is 00:45:28 I'm drunk. Me too. I am hammered. I'm gonna, if you actually poisoned me and killed me, I just want you to know, I kind of think it like, I would appreciate it. Like it's pretty cool. That's pretty funny.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Yeah, that's absolutely like. And we would air this and guys we'd air this and I'd want you to cut it Normal and like let people at home go. Well, what a dipshit. He saw that weird bag She pulled out full of liquids. Why did he just start fucking drinking it? Do you like blue cheese? No, I hate blue cheese Hate blue cheese. Well, yeah, yeah leave the blue cheese out. Hate blue cheese. Well, yeah, yeah, I mean, you've made everything else that I don't like. Why don't you put blue cheese in it? All right.
Starting point is 00:46:11 So first, would you like to pick your cocktail peg? Mm-hmm, what are my choices here? I think there's more of an astrology theme to this set. So, some of them are- I'll take the crab. Okay. I love a little crab. Are you an astrology person? No, are you kidding me? That's nonsense. I don a little crab. Are you an astrology person? No, are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:46:26 That's nonsense. I don't get astrology, but I always think it's fun listening to people talk about it. I mean, it might as well speak a foreign language to me. Which would be awful. No. A foreign language that I can't make out any words in. All right, so this has been, this is a gin that infused with sea salt and vinegar potato chips and then has been fat washed.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Did you infuse it? Yes. What kind of potato chips? Kettle chips. Kettle does some good work. Yes. They really know how to make their chips crunchy. That's a long spoon.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Yeah. I like that. This is my travel spoon. You'd think your travel spoon would be shorter, but your travel spoon is longer than all of our spoons. It's a telescoping. I understand what it is. That's fun, that's fun. You could, if you and your husband had a seats
Starting point is 00:47:14 across the aisle on Alaska Airlines, you could be like, you gotta try this honey. And you just give him a big long spoonful from across the way. Hell, that spoon, you could could if he was window and you were aisle. So much tin in your life. So what happened? Normally I like to freeze these in a freezer but we had to do it with just ice here. Oh ice wasn't even part of this I got you. No no you need to have the temperature. Three olives.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Apparently it's bad luck to do olives in even numbers. That sounds Asian. They hate the number four. The Asians hate the number four. Is it all Asians or is it just Chinese or is it Japanese? I think it's all Asians. All Asians hate the number four. Every single one of them.
Starting point is 00:48:06 They hate it. I always learned that from when I used to watch home shopping shows and the Asian couple, we can't have a foreigner address. And I was like, all right, that's it. It's just potato chips and- There's a little olive brine in there as well. Oh man.
Starting point is 00:48:22 And then this is, it's tough here, but the most important part of a martini is the temperature and dilution. So I almost think of those as their own ingredient, which is why this one won't be ideal, because I couldn't freeze all this material ahead of time. Okay. This is mine?
Starting point is 00:48:37 This is yours. Oh man, look at this. That's my crab. And if you have any other takers, here it is. We already know who's gonna take that. All right, cheers. Wait, we already know who's gonna take that. All right. Cheers. Wait, we have the John's coming in Am I supposed to drink now? Yeah, okay Do I need to hold my crab you don't need to oh you're gonna hate that. Mm-hmm, but if you like dirty martinis, I
Starting point is 00:49:00 Mean I'm not gonna say that I hate it No, it's not good. No, it's not good. I don't hate it. No, it's not good. No, it's not good. I don't hate it. It's very funky. It's very dirty. But one of the things that I really like about this is so many drinks are sweet. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:49:15 And this is not sweet. This is very, very, very savory. You can smell the potato chip, right? I can smell a potato chip, guys. Maybe I am a super taster. So did you prefer the sweet, creamy one or the dank, salty, savory, dirty one? I don't have the answer to that.
Starting point is 00:49:37 The thing about this one is it's really weird, but I also feel like it's one I find myself craving randomly. I'll be like just in the mood for something really salty and like gross. Should I be holding it like you're holding yours? You do wanna hold it by the stem because you don't wanna warm the drink with your hand.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Gotcha. I mean, I think I feel cooler drinking this one. Yeah, it matches your outfit. You look great. The other one, I felt like I was drinking a milkshake. This matches your shirt. Right, this is good. Well, John, you wanna come in look great. The other one I felt like I was drinking a milkshake. This matches your shirt, right? This this is good. Well, John you want to come in here try this other one Come on try this one and tell me if you I don't dislike it. I thought I was gonna hate it
Starting point is 00:50:14 I thought you were too especially because the vinegar element is and there's vinegars. I got a cheers again. I already cheers before It does I don't think I have to cheers every new person that comes to the fucking table But I hate when we're at a large table and people start cheers and now we're going around. Do you like it? So normally what I do with these olives too. I put bacon, blue cheese and a little fresh garlic in the olives. So you kind of take a sip and then you have a bite and it's kind of like a potato chip, loaded potato chip sort of situation. Well I admire your bravery. I mean it's not like
Starting point is 00:50:49 I served our country. I just had a drink of alcohol. I want to thank you for your service. By the way at the end of the day would you rather just have a nice glass of wine? No absolutely not. Huh. Do you like wine? No. I don't know. I didn't know if you were like, no, I appreciate this and you like this, but I didn't know if you were like, yeah, but if I can just... Neither of these is my go-to. I'll drink Black Manhattan's are sort of what I make most of the time at home.

There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's, Teddy escapes, blonde drowns.
Starting point is 00:52:52 And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you. The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president? Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse?

Starting point is 00:57:02 This free plug is a reminder that if you bought Quaker products like Chewy bars, Frito-Lay, chips or Captain Crunch between December 2023 and January 2024, that's a small window. She's talking about just that one month period. Any Quaker bar, you might be entitled to a piece of a 6.75 million dollar class action lawsuit. What's the claim? You guys know? Quaker allegedly used misleading labeling and failed to properly warn people that some products might have had a little salmonella surprise. Hold on now. They used misleading labeling? Oh, just about the salmonella surprise. Hold on now. They used misleading labeling. Oh, just about the salmonella.
Starting point is 00:57:49 I think it's a couple of things wrapped up into one class action. Yeah. But how was their labeling wrong for a one month period? I don't know. It must've been about the labeling must've been in reference to the salmonella. Yeah. Cause it's not like they're in change. They don't change the boxmonella. Yeah. Cause it's not like they're gonna change,
Starting point is 00:58:05 they don't change the box of Captain Crunch every month. They probably haven't changed the box in six years. I might take a shot at Captain Crunch on my own for tearing up the roof of my mouth as a child. There you go. I'll tell you what, Captain Crunch, I don't know if you're a sponsor of this show, hell, I don't care at this point.
Starting point is 00:58:22 You send me six boxes, okay? and two boxes better be a berry crunch Crunch berry, you know, whatever they fucking know they work there One of them's got berries, I'm not giving them I don't need to say it right if I'm suing them It's a threat. You're threatening. I'm threatening them, whatever. I want six free boxes. Six free boxes and I shut the fuck up. Of just Crunch Berry? What's that? Of just Crunch Berry?
Starting point is 00:58:52 No, bitch, you didn't listen. Four and two. I said four boxes are gonna be of Captain Crunch, the original, and then I want two boxes of Captain Berry Crunch. I don't know if they do a chocolate one, I don't want that at all. Well, you're not doing the peanut butter?
Starting point is 00:59:07 I don't fucking like the peanut butter one. Oh my God. It's a bit overwhelming. Geez, make it eight and send two to this one. Now, I don't want the peanut butter one. The peanut butter one grosses me out. In fairness, you know what, Captain Crunch? Knock it off, just send me some puffins.
Starting point is 00:59:20 I like puffins kind of. Remember Captain Crunch? Yes, they would rip the roof of your mouth But then it would get like slimy around the edge, right? Oh, I always yell at my children whenever I pour them a bowl of cereal Like go yeah, you got like go right?

Starting point is 00:59:48 Don't worry about a lengthy trial While Quaker denies any wrongdoing they're coughing up the settlement anyway to avoid the cost and PR nightmare of court That is not a PR nightmare go to battle if you if you're saying you didn't do anything wrong Fight it Quaker what other products do they have? Go to battle. If you're saying you didn't do anything wrong, fight it. Quaker, what other products do they have? They do all the chips and the bars and the chips? You do your oats. I mean the... Quaker oats. Yeah, those little packets with the flavored instant oatmeal. What are all the flavors that come in the variety pack of the instant oatmeal? You have cinnamon, you have maple, you have apple, and then you have regular.
Starting point is 01:00:28 Okay, so it's just apple that you try to avoid. Yes. I don't even really, I don't even really do those. I haven't done those in a lifetime. Oatmeal is not really my favorite, not cream of wheat. That's another story. I love cream of wheat. Haven't had it in probably 40 years, but I know that I used to love cream of wheat. Yeah, I'm not sure you still do love cream of wheat. You don't think I'd love it? No, no, no. I'm pretty sure you don't. You put a pat of butter in there and you give me a couple pieces of toast?
