Hello and welcome to Watch Your Crappings! The podcast about all that crap we just love to talk about on Yale Braves.

I'm Ronnie Carram, I'm from the Rose for Expatsular podcast as well. And I'm talking to Mr. Ben Mandelker, my bestie and partner and life and love, well not love, but life, love of TV shows. Who's also the creator of a show that just came out with a new episode today. Steve, partner, and life, and love, one more life, but life, love of TV shows, who's also the creator of a show that just came out with a new episode today. It's called The Real Housewares of Kitchen Island. Hi, B.M.

Hey, what's going on? Yeah, a new episode up on YouTube. So go check it out. You can search for Real Housewares of Kitchen Island for episodes now. Wow, it's really racking up those numbers. Yeah, and we are doing our, we're going all over the place this year.

Next week we're gonna be in Texas. We saw tickets for the Friday show. So get tickets, we're gonna be recapping the Real Housewives of New Jersey with Seth Spent, up at Cook, okay? And Saturday is sold out. And somebody on Twitter got mad at me because I'm only like pushing, we're only really pushing the Friday show.

And they're like, I, the special guest better be at the other show too. That one sold out. Don't you forget. And I was like, listen, who was like a threat? Ron, he was like, like, what the hell? I don't know. We don't, we actually truly honestly don't know. Of course, we invited people from the Dallas show, the real house, the Dallas,

Dallas, but who knows if they're going to come? You don't know these flaky people are going to come or what they're going to who knows if they're gonna come. You don't know these flaky people are gonna come or what they're gonna do, what they're gonna say, and we don't have plan on having any guests as interview guests anyway, like on stage. So don't worry about that. You're not missing out. Okay, it's gonna be an amazing show. Get there. Yeah, we honestly haven't even thought that far ahead about like like what if if people do come, what will happen? But we're hoping that they'll be special against both nights, ideally, we just don't, honestly, we don't know.

These people are famous, okay, and they have famous schedules. So, we just say, and the reason why we're talking about Friday night so much is we're just trying to sell tickets to it. We already sell tickets this Saturday night, so what we're supposed to do, hey, come to Saturday night, you can't, you know? So. Yeah, we don't wanna be like, it's gonna be amazing Saturday, and then we sell tickets to it. We already sold the tickets to Saturday night. So what we're supposed to do Hey come to Saturday night you can't you know, so yeah, we don't want to be like it's gonna be amazing Saturday

And then we can't let it in Saturday will inherently be amazing because it's sold out and it's gonna be and as if that is going to be our Largest show we've ever done so that will the energy in the in the theater just just We'll have almost seven hundred people. It's going to be amazing on Saturday and then Friday Friday will be amazing because we'll be talking about Real House as New Jersey, which is on like a tear. And if you've ever wanted to be at a room with hundreds of people, because by the way, there's gonna be tons of people on the roof. Why am I rambling? What, Ryan, are you saying?

And then we have a lot of other cities coming up and something really cool to announce, hopefully next week when we find out we're sure for sure.

But we're going to a lot of places. Ben can't, Ben can't remember them better than I, Ben. Let's see, I've got to make a song about it soon. We are going to Cincinnati, Boston, Portland, Phoenix, Irvine, and Cincinnati, and Milwaukee, and Minnesota, and that's where we're going now. I mean, yes, I know it's a Cincinnati twice. You'll work on it, but we are going to be in Cincinnati twice. So there you go. So everybody come to those.

Thanks for everybody who's coming. New teachers will be up next week. Frankly, I just didn't have the energy to finish him this week. What do you think of that? I supported. So here we are today with Top Chef. Frankly, I just didn't have the energy to finish him this week. What do you think of that? I support it. So here we are today with Top Chef. Top Chef. So we didn't get to talk about Top Chef last week

because we were in Charleston, like honestly just getting drunk and being crazy and being irresponsible of podcasters. But we're not going to talk about it next week either. So let's get it all in together today. Oh shit. So well, the thing is this. Last week, of course, the week that this. Um, last week, of course,

the week that we took off is the week that Captain Lee and Captain Sandy make a special guest appearance on a super sized big episode. So of course, that would happen. So really sorry about that, but they didn't really do much in the episode. Basically, the whole the whole. Yeah. Basically, the whole just if it was that the chefs were all sent off to a lake and they had to put on like Parties on houseboats and so captain Sandy was the captain of one boat and captain Lee was the captain of another boat And basically the boats just like motored out to the middle lake and then they like docked on a pontoon and Like the extent of their their contribution to it was that like captain is like all right

So here's your galley. This is where you'll be doing your cooking. It's close quarters. So you have to use your space while like, why, why is like goddamn it? I can't get that word out. Good dammit. Yeah, Captain Lee was pretty much doing what he does on the show, which is walk around the boat in his, um, sockless sneakers, which, you know, you got to admire man's commitment to his cheese. I still wear my crocs. not ten years later is something and captain sandy was like whoa i'm a DJ anybody wants some tunes i mean if they wanted some partying on that but they really should let sandy whip out her new DJ skills i know and they were like they were

sort of like attempting to be like top chef mentors for a second there i'm like i'm a so we're cooking you gotta make sure you take care of your time. You got to use your space carefully, and you got to consider all the people coming on this goddamn boat. I got a question who's making me cereal, right? That's my question, God damn it. Yeah, this is a real quick fire.

And by quick fire, I mean, quick cold milk in my cereal, please. Yeah, it was a pretty fun episode just because one team is like parting, and then that girl Sarah's like, yeah, I like the parody. I have no money throws all the parodies where I live. Usually it just means to get really wasted and take off my shirt and run around the boat and like, ugh.

Yeah, and then like cut to her where I like a giant inflatable raft and like knocking things over. So she made, so I was like, so basically when we were watching this, we were coming, I was watching the episode on the way back from Charleston. So I was in the airport watching it and I was just like cracking up because like Padma was really on fire. Like every single thing Padma was saying, I was like, oh my god, like I'm like actually like sad that we're not podcasting about this because like she was just giving that look to everyone and everything Sarah maids like they made jello shots and Sarah called them jiggle juice and I was like, oh is this the jiggle juice? Wow, that's on my how one of these were at gales and she was dancing the rum bond her living room

We said look at that jiggle juice. This is tastes taste like that. Jiggle juice, huh? Gale calls that a shower. Yes, she was horrified by the jiggle juice, which I really loved. She was like, yeah, sex. There's too much match in there, like whatever was in there. And then Sarah's just like, makers, marketing money, yeah, basically Sarah's captain, Lee industry, gap, okay. I can't have Captain Lee and Sarah in the same room at the same time. It gives everything away. And also by the blue, we should mention

that Sarah continued her tradition and boys being the best at everything. Like, oh yeah, yeah, I always have parties up on that lake. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I have the best parties. I have the best yellow shots. Yeah, you got a yellow shot recipe. Okay, because mine's the best. Yeah. You got a jelly shy recipe? Okay, because mine's the best. Yeah. And then Napoleon Dynamite Brian, the week before he had messed up meat, and he was very upset because he's a butcher. Now listen, butchers don't necessarily cook meat well.

Okay, I'm sorry to break it to you. I'm sure I believe in he, Brian, because I like your face. I like your Napoleon Dynamite attitude. How did God's be look? Yeah, but he came. Yeah, it's a new trend in comedy, but he came back and tried me again. And this time he was on the boring team

and the boring team had no personality. And so they were just like, you know it's gonna make this fine. Us, that girl Michelle. Yeah Michelle though. She's like trivia. Yeah, trivia. So he stood in the hot tub, that was his contribution.

He's like, I'm gonna stand in the hot tub because what's not fun about chopping up some pork in a hot tub? Yeah, exactly. Let me sweat over this pork. Let's like have some like a mixture of like bodily fluids and copper tone, just like drip onto this. And so he made this Portetta.

You know, one of the dramas that they had, by the way, was that the Quiet teams boat also lost power for several hours, so that was like dramatic for them. So basically, and on top of that, Adrian, who's on their team, got sick. So I felt so bad for her, like, to be sick on a show and on a boat all at once. You know, it's not involved with the foot infection. That's like for sorry for

when they're sick me and that's like it. Yeah. When other people are sick, I'm like, get over, get a life, like get to work. Like who cares? People get sick every day and the economy keeps just humming along. Get up, get up Adrian. You worse, get up. Like I'm so mad. But then girl, if I even get a, you know, paper cut or anything, I'm like, yeah, cry. You know how I am when I get a cold. Oh yeah. Set. I'm very sad about it. I feel like I'm doing something to God. I genuinely felt bad for her because her sickness really, I felt like it really came through across the TV. Like I started to feel like I was getting sick. It was one of those sicknesses.

I was like, oh, I, what she's going like she is portraying her sickness right now. So well that like I understand it too well. Like I was like, I felt like I was coming down with a fluid just watching her. No, when people are sick, I need them to say, I'm sick and then leave. Go for me. She did. She did. But then when she wasn't, she's like, I'm sad. And I was like, no, that's not how. She was doing what I would do. Beat dramatic. Beat a chair. Beat a chair.

Me too. I'm from the hip-a-crap party. That's what I'm saying. I'm a total whist. But I don't like seeing it on TV. Like, be weak somewhere else, okay? Yeah. So it's a Brian.

He made this poor Chetta, which of course he messed up. Because on top of everything else, he like, he like a Brian did with Thai seasoning. So it didn't taste like this poor chetta, which of course he messed up because on top of everything else, he like, he like a, uh, Brian did with Thai seasonings, so it didn't taste like a poor chetta or whatever. And then there's something, I think maybe because the Brian and something happened with the chemical compositions that when he made it, the pork belly separated. And Pat no, just kept on shading him a batch. It's like, I've never seen a poor chetta with a belly separated from it. How does it feel to be a failure or the bellies separate from it. How does it feel to be a failure on the portrait of Ron?

Have you ever done anything terrible like that before? It's like hanging out with Gal and her stomach in two different chairs. I mean to me it just looked like crap, but I'm sure Gal would have loved it. Bless her heart. She had very low standards. Didn't she do a literal like,

did you do this on purpose? Have the belly separated from the pork? Did you mean to have the belly separated from the pork? Did you mean to buck centuries of tradition on how to make this classic cut of meat? Yeah. The day that babe cried. Am I right? Oh, yes. Was this supposed to be an ode to Gail Simmons, not being on the season being separated from us. She is the bellied our tasty pig. Wow.

A pork belly separated from its master. It's like when a fedra was legal. Am I right, Gail? God, I miss a fedra, by the way. Okay. She shouldn't have gone to a fight with Candy. Get it. Go.

I was thinking. Mmm. Can't it. Go. Um, I was thinking, yeah, made you think I was like, I love diet pills. That was the last time I was thin when a fedra was legal. God, I miss you. A fedra, exhale or whatever. Um, okay. So what else happened? So Brian ended up really fucking up. Now he must have fucked up because you guys the food on this episode was not very

exciting food. Eddie made a piece of shrimp on a toothpick with some with some ham. Okay. I'm prosciutto. Like no. Yeah, and Jeff. The Luga mad him. She's like, I mean, I could have done that. Like I could have just like stuck a toothpick into a shrimp and just pass around, I could have done that. Like, I could have just like stuck a toothpick into a shrimp and just passed around. Like, I could have done that. I know, she's not selling her parties at all. She's like, if I had a party, that's something I would do. And I was like, your party's set. Like, she's like, who wants to go to the studio?

You know what I do at my parties? I find some cardboard, I put in some oil, deep fried, and served up and tell people to crack her. That's what I do. I was like, ooh, me Lou. Let me guess. Gail's the only guest. Ooh, guessy. Do you call that the Gale special?

I've seen her do that with her shoes before. Because that's a news. Gales. So who was in the, I don't even remember who is the bottom of the top. Because that was Eddie. Eddie. Yeah, let's see. Because of the sad team. Didn't Eddie win. No, Eddie couldn't have won with his. No, Eddie was not the sad team. Was Michelle, I forgot what Michelle made.

Michelle was on the sad team too. Oh, she made like a soup. Oh, well, there was also a thing about a dumpling. Who made the dumpling? Someone made a dumpling and the jersey. Jersey, Yulu was in a snit about that. She was like, I mean, it should just be the pot's ticker. Why did it have to be in a soup?

It should just be the pot's ticker, like every two seconds. She's like, and can, it should just been a pot sticker. Why did it have to be in a suit? It should have just been a pot sticker, like every two seconds. And she's like, and can I say something else, Tom? That suit, it should have been a pot sticker. It's like, okay, Nilo, you get your pot sticker agenda. And by the way, I totally agree. I mean, I know, look, you show me a fucking shrimp on a stick. I'm gonna pick anything else over that. And I think at least it definitely took work.

I mean, the guy actually had to work on it. I mean, shrimp on a stick. Eddie, I'm rooting for anything else over that. And I think at least the dumpling took work. I mean, the guy actually had to work on it. I mean, shrimp on a stick. Eddie, I'm rooting for you, Eddie. Cut that shit out. I don't know. I just think that like a dumpling in soup on a boat party, that's like a little too fancy. They were like, they were definitely like a little precious

on that team. And I agree with you. It should be a lot of stuff. I mean, in general, in life. Someone doesn't have Netflix, okay? I'm sticking up for dumpling. No, it was a dumpling, just a dumpling in soup. And she was saying, just put it on a stick

and just make it a more portable dumpling. Okay, side with Nilo. I will side with K. Because she's a ghost. Yeah, I think she was right. You know, she's not that far from Gail. She looks like her. She has terrible patterns like her.

Like everything's like her. She carries boxes to her. Yeah, she takes, she takes fresh and easy boxes all the way. So basically Napoleon, I'm like, got sent how many's like, finally. And then who else did we have? Anything else good? Happened in that? I mean, I'm sure there were.

I can't remember. There was actually a really big episode. I remember cracking up the entire time, but I think why don't we move on today's episode? Because today's episode, I mean, I'm fine that that top chef has become like my favorite comedy on TV and it's not even supposed to be. I just like at this point, anytime Padma says something or Tom says something, I start laughing and even when they don't, when someone else says something, I just imagine Padma interjecting and saying something. So I'm just laughing the entire time. I'm really enjoying Tom leaning into his like Instagram spiritual meme thing in the end of his speeches now, like when he gives his end speech, because it used to just be like,

well, chefs, you know, sometimes you have time and sometimes you don't have time and you know, what are you going to do? Like you're running out of time and that's going in badly for one of you. So, uh, PODMA, PODMA, PODMA, PODMA. Yeah. But this, you know, now he's like, well chefs, you know, sometimes you're walking on a beach and then you see footsteps next to you and you wonder to yourself, is it is it Buddha is it Allah where is it just scale you know the memory of the like no one else what do you gonna do yeah yeah it's like look there's scales footsteps turned out it was just the path of a beach well who knew also the difference between the dumpling and a pot sticker I believe is that they're fried someone just asked

right they're like panther I think I think so I mean I think it's A dumpling is generally steamed you can have a dumpling that's kicked but generally when they're when they're cooked like fried Cook they're called Pots tickets because they actually yeah, yes, I think that is correct I think also technically dumpling is more the umbrella term of like I always grew up thinking that dumplings were like Chinese dumplings or like Asian dumplings where it's like Meet in like a rapper and apparently you know dumplings are. There's a lot of dumplings darling. So anyway, oh, we should probably do our disclaimer because I feel like we have to do it on a weekly basis now.

I feel like we should give up our disclaimer soon. I feel like at some point people just got to, if they listen to this and they're offended for Gail, at some point you got to say if they listen to this and they're offended for Gail at some point You got to say there's called it's called a back catalog No, because I don't want gail Simmons. I don't want gail. We said this every week This will be the week that we don't do the disclaimer is the week that Gail decides to tune into the podcast and it's like oh cool some top chef coverage And then here's that's just like railing on her and I was like, these guys are assholes. So I just

want to say we love Gail Simmons. We think she's beautiful. We do not think that she's fat or overweight. We think that she is just gorgeous. And even if she were fat or overweight, we wouldn't even care. We just like to pretend that Padma hates Gail and spends all her time shading Gail. That's it. It's all a fiction and we like to go with it. Yeah. It's big. It's all a fiction and we like to go with it. Yeah, it's fiction. Okay, so now today, we're starting with the show called Top Chef. And everyone's super depressed because it was after this is, you know, right after the

last episode, and everyone's on the dock, it's hot. Nobody slept except Adrian. The baker, just kidding. So no one slept and everyone super upset and even Kelsey who one and Kelsey says a lot today how tired she is and she talks about her baby a lot and I was like, hmm have fun on your plane trip home. Yeah. So that's what I was expecting to happen. And Michelle. This was the hardest thing I've ever done. I'll speak up, Michelle. Wow, that party was just off the hook. I've never been to such a crazy party as that.

Wow. So the, the chefs all, like they get off the boat, and they of course pile into their BMWs, which made it time for our little BMW commercial of the episode. We're like, wow, all our bags fit in. Oh my god, is there navigation? Hey, BMW BMW take me to Nashville wow it listens they say things like because you know they have to do it obviously for work and they can't come up with things to say so they're like whoa nice truck wow this handlebar

really really holds my weight when I'm when I'm grappling with it. Yeah, are these glass windows? Are you telling me that this car runs on gasoline and electricity? Kelsey's the most into it, but I think she's southern and we'll talk to anything you know Kelsey's like hey BMW you know Kelsey's like hey BMW take me to suit. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody.

Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody.

Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Soody. Mephex. Hey, Mephex. Yeah, I can totally imagine Kelsey just talking to her car all day long.

And finally, her car is like, listen, I'm an introvert, okay? Yeah, I do, can I just drive? I want to be a W to be bitchy. Like, listen, I'm richer than all of you combined. And I just have a silent drive about listening to like the yokals in the back seat talk about the puffed rice You know, it's bad enough that I'm a BMW and that they painted me this garish red, okay? But now I have to actually respond to you. No, I don't think so Yeah, so let's see here. They're driving and they're like oh my god

We're going to op riland who in the world are we going to meet? And Michelle's like, I really want to meet Garth Brut. I thought that was so funny that that was her special request. I'm like, maybe if you were on network TV. So yeah, good luck with that. So then Adrian, meanwhile, is still sick and still puking. They have to like pull over while she barfs everywhere. I would have driven away. I would have been like, you know what? Go in in the shoulder there and throw up and they just left just left your sick ass.

But then they'd be stuck with just Eddie and like, I think age was conversations better. That's true. Eddie's in the backseat like passed out like bubbles coming out of his mouth like occasionally murmuring things about red snapper, I don't know. So, yeah. So now, so anyway, so they're all excited because they're going to the Grand Old Opera. Not to be confused with a gal old Opera, which is just gals singing country music to can't ham. I mean, there are a lot of seats. Am I right, gal? The best part about a gal concert is that there's always a seat available.

Okay, oh, by the way note, this is very important to any top chef fan. Kelsey loves chicken fingers. Every year there's some chef who's like, wow, I'm a chef, but I also like easy fast food. I'm like, yeah, it's called being an American, okay. It's called having tastes, it's called having taste buds, okay? There's a reason why those are enduring classics. You wanna fucking battle. They're like, wow, look at me eating a chicken finger. Normally I make a garden salad to remind me

of meeting my husband. It does me a van to whoever. So they go to the Grand Aloppery, is, I was like laughing because it's just funny to me. It's still Ronnie that we were in Nashville basically two months ago. Like it's like, it's surreal. Like it feels like, I can't put those actually there. So Padma's on the stage ready to greet them and Kelsey, she's like, hello, chefs.

Welcome to the Grand Ole Opry and Kelsey's like, oh my god, I've watched like 50, 500,000 Opry videos. I just love country music. And Pam goes, oh great. Great. That's excellent. Wow. How wonderful for you. Whoa. Kelsey, what a fascinating detail about your life that I never asked for. You're like a Val pack. They just keep coming but no one's asking for them. Oh, you know who'd love that story? Gail, she

listened to anything. She said desperate. She has no one to talk to. I know that Padma went backstage and was like, get rid of that one. She spoke ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Or did you actually want to see what happened? This does matter. Well, chefs, countless artists have performed here at the Granola party, including my good friend Carrie Underwood, my good friend Reba McIntyre, my good friend Dolly Parton, and not my best friend Lena Ways. and not my best friend, Lena Wade. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha the Skiddles. The first time I saw it, I thought, is this a potion to kill horses or a meal? Gales rider. I remember the first time I went backstage with Gales. I was like, I can't believe I accidentally walked into those daggestinos. Turns out she ordered the whole store. So I was thinking in this one, I'm like, you know, I need some people to hate because Top Chef has given us such great villains over the year. We've had, you know, the original Red Headed Tiffany, and then we had Marcel.

And then we had, I mean, we've had such great people. That's a good guy from last year, yeah. Yeah, Luigi from last, I mean, we've had such, Josea. Oh, I can't believe that. Oh. Oh. Oh. I'm still mad about that.

Bacon tattoo. Shut up. So, yeah, we need a good villain, and we really don't have one. I mean, Ben, you have Eddie, but I like Eddie, because- Eddie's not like a villain. He just sort of, I'm like, uh, Eddie. Yeah, I just like that he has like wooden teeth. I think that's so nice.

Like, I like crafts and nature. I don't like Jersey, because I think he's like fake nice, and we said since the beginning, he's like the kind of guy who's gonna immediately start crying, you know, and he's probably gonna be this naughty. But he never really turned into that much of a villain until right now. And I thought, finally, he's gonna come out of the closet

as a huge villain and make this season great. Because everybody has to go pick your ingredient chat. So they all go pick their ingredients. And three of them have to make breakfast. And he takes all the eggs all the eggs And he's like, sorry, I've got to make omelets. I'm like you how many omelets does he have to make? Yes, they make three of them right so that's gonna be like nine it with only nine eggs Do you have to make three doesn't he just have to do it? Well, I think it's like one for each one for each judge

Then one for cameras. I think well it looks like he took 24 eggs I mean it looked like huge huge Basket of eggs that he took that is not cool and then they're like please give me some eggs He's like can't break make omelets with that break and some eggs and I broke them I'm like this is the hill you're gonna die on you're gonna become a villain over eggs I know I know shit now okay, and I don't feel for you Yeah, and I don't feel for your omelets. I know. It's a shit now, OK? And I don't feel for you. Yeah. And I don't feel for your omelets. I don't.

Yeah. Although I did make me think back to that one season, where they all had to make omelets in the very first episode, and they all fucked up like none of them knew how to make omelets. Yeah. And I'm all getting fucked with like, what is he's going on here? No, no, not to make pop omelets. Shout out to C-charm, oh, get up!

Oh. This guy, I think learned how to make omelets from food witches on YouTube. My personal favorite texture. That's the ultimate, that is the ultimate omelet, like tutorial. Yes. I even bought the little rubber spatula thing that he's using to make those omelets. And I can make those for my taste.

Honestly, they're a little bit soft. I don't like a soggy egg in the middle. And they're For my taste, honestly, they're a little bit soft. I don't like a soggy egg in the middle and they're a little bit soft firm. They're a little soft. It's tricky, because I like a soft scrambled egg and I think with an omelet, I don't necessarily want that omelet to be firm. It's a little soft, but the timing is really tricky,

but I've actually been recently been doing a lot of omelets over the past week. And I just thought that guy's method and it works so well. It's like shocking how easy he makes it. Yeah, really good. Also, do you know what else I learned how to make? I don't know if I told you when I was writing our song for the crappy Southern, how to make ex-Zelafranse. Well, that's basically isn't that just like a slow scrambled like a little bit of water, right? No, it's well, yeah, basically it was scrambled eggs with milk and salt and pepper, but you just keep stirring them, that's all.

Yeah, that's the key, by the way. When it comes to scrambled eggs, once I finally listened to all these chefs who say you gotta go low and slow, I was like, fine, I'll do it. And I was like, oh my God, when you cook a scrambled egg, low and slow, and if you make it even fancy within the eggs' elephants,

they taste so rich and creamy, they're delicious. It's shocking. Shocking. Sh they're delicious, it's shocking. Shocking. Shocking, absolutely. Shocking, that's why I was inexplicable that no one wants my ex-elephonse. Do you wanna know how to make some Ronnie scramble eggs? It's time for commercial.

It's time for a crap and it's commercial. Raising kids can be one of the greatest rewards of a parent's life. But come on, someday, parenting is unbearable. I love my kid, but is a new parenting podcast from Wondry that shares a refreshingly honest and insightful take on parenting. Hosted by myself, Megan Galey, Chris Garcia, and Kurt Brown-Oller, we will be your resident not-so- so expert experts.

Each week we'll share a parenting story that'll have you laughing, nodding, and thinking, oh yeah, I have absolutely been there. We'll talk about what went right and wrong. What would we do differently? And the next time you step on yet another stray Lego in the middle of the night, you'll feel less alone. So if you like to laugh with us as we talk about the hardest job in the world, listen to, I love my kid, but wherever you get your podcasts.

You can listen ad free on the Amazon Music or Wondery app. You crack eggs in, then get your fingers and pull out all the shell that you got in there because you're going to get some shell, okay? You don't put them against the bowl, you slam them down on the table. Which is supposed to make them not crack on the inside, but that doesn't work for me. Yeah, it makes them crack even more for me. Yeah, me too, but I learned that from a chef, so I'm still trying to get like 20 years later and make, trying to make it work.

And then you put it in the pan while it's already hot, it has butter in it. And then you wait for it to set on the bottom and then you just break it all up and stir it around until it's done, okay? Then you put some hot sauce on it, some left, some sour cream. Maybe if you have leftover french fries, which who doesn't, throw those in there. That's it.

That's the way I do it is I break like it's, it's gonna be three or four eggs, depending on how hungry I am. I crack them on the rim of the bowl. And I beat the eggs and then I take a pinch of salt and I whisk the eggs in, whisk the salt in. I try to do the salt a little bit ahead of time because I was reading in the food lab

that like the earlier you salt your eggs, the better they are, they won't like weep water, et cetera later. And then I put a little bit of olive oil in the pan. And I heat it over low heat. I usually let it go for like a minute. And then I pour the eggs in there. And then while the eggs are sort of like on a very low, I like wash the bowl and wash the counter and I come back. And usually I start to set up a little bit. And then I just stir until it's done. And sometimes I can take a while. Sometimes, sometimes if it's a little warmer, it'll have an effect like yours,

where it'll be just like, it'll be a little set on the bottom and then you just go and you chop it all up. So sometimes it's like big curves, sometimes it's little curves, and honestly, they all taste good to me. Well, who doesn't love a curt? Okay, guys, thank you for that.

But he has to pull the eggs off while they still look like a little shiny because they still cook a little bit more on the plate. So you don't want them to be wet, but like a little shiny, so that way they taste like creamy, but they're still cooked. Wow. I know. I know.

Every bed. Yeah. So anyway, so these chefs are cooking their breakfast and all their things. Kelsey decides to a shakshuka, which I thought was a pretty bold move. I mean, I don't want to stereotype all country stars, but I just feel like I Will and I just wouldn't imagine Jack Shook up being like Exactly what I'd cook for a country star. I feel like I'd cook something that's like a little harder, you know Well, it's a tricky challenge because they don't get to speak to the country star for so they don't know who it is I mean not that Riva would have something different than this twink whoever it is But still they don't know who it is

and they don't get to talk to them about what they want. So they don't know if they want interesting things or an egg. You know, because literally, yeah. Like who makes an omelet? Like I would never think to be like, I'm gonna just make an omelet. Yeah, I was like, why would you do that?

Again, it's top chef making effort, but you never know. And then he ended up liking one of the simplest things. Yeah, exactly. So disgusting, by the way, okay, we'll get there. We'll get there. We'll get there. So basically, yeah, Padmucho appears out of nowhere.

It's like five minutes. That's how long it takes Gail to eat a porterhouse anyway. So I'm love the opera. She just comes out. Five minutes or call. God. At which point I'll drop a chandelier on Adrian's head. Sorry, you're sick.

So Adrian's already like, she's like, fuck this. Like, I can't move fast. I'm sick. I'm not paying attention to anything. I'm just going to put a big piece of meat on some vegetables. It looks sloppy. And I was like, that kind of looks this, like I can't move fast, I'm sick, I'm not paying attention to anything, I'm just gonna put a big piece of meat on some vegetables and look sloppy and I was like, that kinda looks good though secretly. Oh, I can't with meat that's like, you're not.

I know, it looked like flesh, like it, I mean, it is, but you know what I mean, it was like, it's so rare, it didn't even look rare, it just looked raw, completely raw. Yeah, it was gross. The guest judge was Hunter Hayes, who's like a big country star, and he comes out, and I don't know if he knows this, Ronnie, but I felt like he had like this weird downward spiral over the course of the

quick fire about like eating in public. Like he's revealed some strange like eating disorder. He's like, don't look at me. I'm not used to people looking at me while I eat. This is strange. Yeah. we saw a side of him Imagine because they line up all three of the chefs who are competing for lunch dinner and breakfast and they have them lined up right in front It's like three people lined up in front of them and it's not just people looking at you eating It's like when you eat in West Hollywood and no one eats here So like if I'm eating fast food in the day, which people in West Hollywood only eat like that at night So when you were a bell and you eat like a pizza or something in the daytime, it's that

look of desperation, like people are like they just draw, and that's how they're looking at him because they have that desperation in their eyes because they want to win, you know? Yeah, exactly. So yeah. So David services Omelet, Eric serves oatmeal, and I don't know if you know his pan, I just picked up the oatmeal and just started shaking it. Like, huh, I wanna see if it gals. Nope. No wobble.

Yeah, oatmeal with maple syrup and brown sugar, I mean, whatever. And then Kelsey makes her shakshuka. It's a deconstructed pizza, it's like a pizza, but it's not pizza, it's a shakshuka instead of a pizza. Thank you, BMW. She's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like,

she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, I'm not chuk chuk coming in your mouth Here comes that you know listen you can't say shak chukka without chuk you am I right? Okay? Open wide

Chuk chukka that's what I made you okay? Padma's like did you know hunters music? Are you a fan? Oh did that embarrass you Kelsey? I'm so sorry Hunter Kelsey's obsessed with you. She won't stop talking about before. She's like, I've watched 500,000 Hunter Hayes videos. I was like, okay, Kelsey. Oh, you're right there, still. Sorry. She's like my good friend, Hunter.

Did you hear that my not-friend at all blonde hick over there is a huge fan of you? Hey, Hunter, my new best friend, Hunter, isn't it crazy how into you she is? I mean stage five, Klinger, am I right? And poor guys, like you can tell that he's one of those guys who's just a shitty challenge. We've been those guys. We are so excited to be there. And then you eat the food and it's like, and you have to think of something to say just in

case there's a camera around, you know, and he's just trying to come up with anything he can say. He's like, well, lunch is the only meal I get sometimes. Michelle, when you say to an omelette, you know, I know when he says that, Michelle goes, yeah, kind of like us. Save us, save us, Hunter. You guys, if we're going to keep doing these live stream, you video things, I've got to find a comfortable way to do this in my house. I'm on a stool I do not want to sit on a stool for this. I do not support stools

I think stools are like the most uncomfortable thing and I really resent them But my desk is in my kitchen and my kitchen is Terrifying and disgusting. So you just get a high chair or get a high chair from like I can oh Like some with the back so I could do this. Oh, look at that. Oh yeah. Well, I don't think you'll find many of the run rollers. Are there R-SUN, I think, but like you had the rollercoaster. I was leaning, look.

I was like, oh. Yeah, leaning. Oh, yeah, I'm comfortable now. Yeah. I'm comfortable now, I'm not. Yeah. Stools are like made by the devil. Well, I used to have a couch desk,

but now my couch is like a sectional. It's not really good for that. So I got a moon pod thing. It's a big bean bag chair. And I think I call it sheenah, because it's just like a big lump of useless crap. But I think I'm going to make it, I actually love it. Now that I use it and so I'm going to make a floor desk that like,

you'll see everybody. I'm just that no one needs to know that. Sorry. You know what's the worst? Are those stools that like allude to the fact that they have a back, but they don't really have a back at all? I hate those. You know where it's like, it's a stool,

but it has like a little thing in the back that's like, look, we're suggesting that there's a back area there. So we're suggesting that this is more comfortable, but it's like, no, there's still no back support. So why do you even include your little like, it's like a spoiler, like a spike, you know? Yeah, it makes you miss, it makes you miss a back more. Yeah, got it. I love recapping top chef, because it doesn't feel so unnatural spoiler like I like you know yeah it makes you miss it makes you miss the back more yeah got

I loved recapping top chef because it doesn't feel so unnatural to just start talking about seating yeah yeah yeah something like totally mundane yeah like this top chef we're talking about cooking eggs for an hour so I guess we can talk about stools yeah so anyway yes and then there's like some dinner stuff they serve and hunter's talking about how he doesn't get to eat until midnight ever So you know he's just like again revealing more layers to his eating habits Yeah, and ultimately in the bottom of the challenge David which made I think both of us very happy after he stole everyone's eggs Yeah, what a fucker and then he put a goat cheese vinaigrette and it wasn't like vinaigrette with goat cheese.

It was like melted goat cheese. It was like a, called a fondue. But you know, that's actually something interesting. It wasn't just a shrimp on a stick. Like he, and it wasn't just an omelet. Like I thought it was gonna be like, he made an effort to do something really cool. But you know, you can't do that for everybody

and Hunter did not like that. He was like, ew. What was that? Sauce? And then he's like Eddie, I'm sorry like everything sat in the same flavor profile. So Okay, someone who's watched Top Chef before I know I was like padma told you to say that didn't she? Yeah, he's like, I don't know. They all tasted good. Say that Eddie is sat in the same flavor profile and then watch his face. It's hilarious. Watch. And then they were serving, they were serving him also salads, like a bunch of salads. And I think just because they're thinking like he's a celebrity and he's thin and little

and maybe he needs his greens. I don't know, but he did not like that because he was like, oh, yeah, there's always some fairy on the diet. So salads are good sometimes You know, and then there's like another salad and he's like a saved vegetable salad and then Michelle gave him at least She made an effort, but again, I think she's placating a short person who looks very young because she's like I made you a grilled cheese sandwich You want a grilled cheese sandwich? He's like, no, a grilled cheese salad, I'm sorry. So he gave me grilled cheeses and they cut them up and put it in. I was like, is there a prize at the bottom?

Like, this is a spandering, okay. Yeah. And so, yeah. So David Eddie and Kelsey were in the bottom, which is funny because they're in the bottom of the main challenge. And then on the top were Eric, Sarah, and Adrian, Adrian, and in fact, Adrian won. all that all that drama about her being sick and her steak

It was actually the thing that he loved the most actually was shocked because it's like a lame steak Yeah, it was lame. She's like what the fuck I just run with something so lame, but I'll take it Yeah, you know, Pat was like hey Kelsey. Did you see The guy that you love. His favorite thing was that shit stay. Can you believe that? Can you believe who you love? Oh my God. Oh, so Padma goes, I'm gonna need an encore. You know, Sheth's a song comes on the radio

and it can take you back to your first kiss, you're wedding. And when the case of Gayle, the first time you had a bag of marshmallows on the subway. The first time you saw a sunset, the first time you held your baby, the first time I caught Gail eating my bread crust out of the hotel trash bin, I mean, hilarious.

The first time Gail can try to convince me that you could eat the box that came along with the dominoes. Hot, no get digested. Bless her heart. She just tried to be ego friendly. So the guest judges are going to be Jonathan Waxman and some guys who created the Nashville music festival. And they have to do musical inspiration.

So they have to pick something to inspire you musically and We're also gonna be inviting our other judge is going to be Caleb Flauola from the Kings of Leon and his wife who's somewhat I've known for years Lily Aldrich And then Adrian for some reason was like, you know, when I went to college, I was really sad and homesick. So I'm going to buy caviar. I was like, what?

You come from a dairy farm. This makes no sense. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. David's, yeah, her inspiration was home by Edwin Sparks and the magnolite zeroes. And then David from New Jersey, his was incubus morning view and his whole thing, which all the way,

I mean, I like incubus, but I always feel like, if that's gonna be your inspiration on top chef, there may be an issue. So he, like he did, he's dodged in Portugal and he comes from a big Portuguese family. At which point we saw like a picture of his Portuguese family. So then I'm like, oh, Portuguese family alert. That's probably gonna be an elimination.

Oh, really? It's a CPI tone photo. And on top of that, he's like, I want to do octopus with pork. That's classic. And then like, sorry, the octopus is frozen. I was like, mm, the mention of a frozen ingredient and a CPI photo. They're tricking us though, because they're doing like the phone call of death and they're doing a lot of Cpf photos a week. And then they're doing things like when somebody brings up their sad story to use it in a

presentation, they're not kicking them off. If I love when they do that, when Padden was like, that story was sad. Please pack your knives and get the fuck out. Random person who tried to make me feel something. Sorry, your family member died, but your food is terrible. Unfortunately, your career just died as well. Bye. And then Eddie's inspiration was cake, which I'm like, I feel like, I'm now listening. I don't know many songs by cake,

but I feel like all the songs by cake are just like some like, I feel like I'm not listening. I don't know many songs by cake, but I feel like all the songs by cake are just like some like Like quick rhythm thing with someone talking over it, right? I don't know cake. I mean, I just know actual cake Yeah, like who's inspired by cake? Have you heard of brownies? Have you heard of superstars cake? It's like the wussiest dessert of all time Okay, but also who who's inspiration is cake and then you make red snapper? Like, make cake. Yeah, and what was the song is like, my inspiration is cake.

Oh yeah, he said, I made this dish for my wife 10 years ago. Like, I think I love you madly, my cake. And this guy's sweet stories with his wife are all terrifying. You know? I know, I feel dapper is wife. I feel like that he's experimenting with her constantly and she's like, I don't want to have C-slug. I know you saw that on TV, but I don't want it.

But then why did he make Red Snapper with puff rice cereal instead of risotto? I don't know, he didn't say he used to make it like that. He just said he used to make her red snapper with risotto, but now he's not gonna use risotto. He's gonna use snap rice. Is it puff rice? I love you, ma'am. I guess, but I'm trying to see where puff rice fits in. And you know what? It's probably something really obvious. And the listener's going to be like, hey, stupid. One of the lyrics just look at my pirate. One of the, one of the listeners or One of the lyrics of that song is puffed rice. Your muff is not

that I like puffed rice. Yeah. Okay. So David is also starting to, David's starting to go down. It's like one thing is going wrong after another. So his clams are too big and his like little his little electric burner is like not working and he's throwing a hissy fit. And I was like, you Ryan. Yeah, after all, after a season of like, oh my god, I love you. I worship. I'm a big gale stand. All that stuff. He's a little bit. He's a little cry bits. Okay. And he's like, no, and they're offering to help him. He's like, no, forget it. Forget it. I have some serious sauce work to do, which is what always cracks me up about chefs. They get all tatted up like, I'm all tough.

I'm like, I'm gonna be on the sons of Anker and Arki. Yeah, I got some serious sauce work to do. Okay. Guys, we all have some sauce work to do. So yeah, he was being a little bit, and my favorite part of that was that he was mad about the clams that he bought because he picked like he got them. It's not like somebody just delivered clams to you. Yeah, I like to lose in the bin while you're waiting. But I do give him credit for not using frozen octopis.

Octopus gross running. Octopus. Octopus gross Ronnie. Octopus. Octopus. Octopus gross. That's what he was getting used. Okay. So then Kelsey makes chicken pop pie because her song is Sunday kind of love by Edda because you can hang with the guy Friday and Saturday. Who do you want to hang out with on Sunday? Papa John. Hunter Hayes. Yeah. Hunter Hayes. So she's making him a chicken pot by and let's see. Do we need to talk about all this? Oh, yeah. So Tom and Graham show up to tour the kitchen

and they start talking to Eric because his inspiration is Biggie Smalls. And I'm like, oh, yeah, well, funny story. I used to live on the same street as Biggie Smalls. Can you, can you believe that? I live on the same street, like, it's sort of an amazing facet in my history. I'll tell you one thing.

I can't imagine 20 years from now, someone's gonna be bragging about living on the same street as a mixologist. That's for sure. Ha ha ha ha. And yeah, so Eric is, I'm sorry, I got lost in my dose, but Eric is doing Biggie Smalls and then Justin's like,

you know what, I am doing purple Raid Miyuki because Prince, purple, Prince Minnesota, et cetera. Just in like you know what I am doing purple raid Miyuki cuz Prince purple prince Minnesota etc. Yeah, and proms like Wow, you know, you could also use the raspberries. Yeah, I mean Apparently my suggestions fall into fears, you know like saying you could use raspberries or maybe don't be a mixologist You could use law school, you know, no one looks into that either. So, yeah, you could use 25 years of experience that your father has carry on the family tradition and name, or you could not.

And then Michelle's like, I like the Beatles and I listen to the Beatles hence the name Michelle. and I listened to the Beatles, hence the name Michelle. I was almost gonna be named Yellow Submarine. For a long time people called me Blackbird, but there was already another girl named Blackbird in my class. There was an awkward phase where I was just called Help. awkward phase where I was just called help. So, um, then she's making red snapper again. I was like, you guys have all these like really pretty stories, but then you're going to make red snapper.

This show, that's why you don't need to, you don't need a story with every show. I disagree with these food competition shows that are like, but why does that mean something to you? Cause it fucking tastes good. How about that? Okay. I'm cooking this cause it tastes good. Yeah, exactly. And just Sarah's making a gumbo because her dad made them,

it was like, like my dad said, when I opened up a restaurant, you gotta have a gumbo on there. So I'm gonna make the most delicious gumbo you ever had, because I can make gumbo. I'm also gonna make the most delicious jambalaya. And I'll see all these red snappers. I'm gonna make the best red snapper also, so I hope you got a good recipe, because I'm the best.

And I'm gonna serve it drunk with my shirt off too. Have at that, right? The party episode is over, Sarah. Okay, put your clothes back on. So then, so now they're cooking and cooking and cooking. And then Eddie tells a little story about his like, so now they're cooking and cooking and cooking. And then Eddie tells a little story about he's like, so the first meal I ever made for my wife was a flaked red snapper and she doesn't like fish. So I made her fish and Eric just goes, Eric just starts

laughing. He's like, classic Eddie because of course, Eddie would make his wife something that she specifically does not like. She's like, I do not like Red Snapper. Great. So I made you Red Snapper. Of course, of course, Eddie tried to talk her into it. And you know, it's a thing because notice that Eric let it all laugh. Like, of course, that's exactly what Eddie would do. And she married him, you know, like that's a girl whose friend I don't want to be because

that's the girl who calls you every week. Like, can you believe he made me Red Snapper? And I'd be like, yes, because you married the guy with wooden teeth who never does anything you want him to do. Like, I've been telling you this for a year. Why did you marry him? She's like, it's only worth it for the cake tickets. That's the only thing I'm in for.

I mean, I've told him I like cake. And now I have to go see music every time they come in town. I meant cake. I want a fucking cake. Does he give me cake? No, never. How many times do I have to ask for cake before he realizes we're not going to a concert? Yeah, he did our whole wedding in like cake walk wine. We didn't even have a cake at our wedding.

You served ice cream, you know? He served a frosting version of the band cake. He didn't understand what I was asking for. So, I mean, there's stuff, David's making like a clam salad, which looks really gross, and I love clams, but that was gross to me. He like, he's like, yeah, now he's in a good mood. I was like, well, did badness steal your mids? Because I feel like Padm is like a producer on Unreal, where they're just like stealing their mids to make them look crazy or whatever. Because one minute he's crying and throwing things, and now he's like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh like, you know, more than anything, we're seeing who they are through their music selection. For instance, my son told me his greatest inspiration was because I got high by aferman. So you can learn a lot from someone through their music.

Uh, I'm just looking forward to someone singing my son's favorite song when he never graduated from anything. And it's called In the Closet. So that was great. I heard that Gail's musical inspiration is Baby Shark. Baby Shark? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I thought she was singing that all the time, but it turns out she was just making a menu request. Baby Sharkark and cake Gale there's no cake in the baby shark song And they were back my favorite to be on a walk Cooler that to that to that

So yeah, so let's see Eddie's like god, I really don't want to let my wife down I'm just back. He's back. He's back. He's back. He's back. He's back. He's back. He's back. He's back. He's back. He's back. He's back. He's back. He's back.

He's back. He's back. He's back. He's back. He's back. So yeah. So yeah. So let's see. Eddie's like, God, I really don't want to let my wife down. She's like crashing me up.

She's like crashing me up. She's like crashing me up. She's like crashing me up. She's like crashing me up. She's like, remember that red snapper from 10 years ago. Yeah. I'm really finding my voice here. I was like, could you ask it to be louder. I also have to say I have to I have to give a special shout out to one of the guest judges the creepy dude in the corner named Tandy Wilson. How cute is that name? I feel like Jessica Tandy lives on as so many little ways around me. Well, you know, at that show, the last man on Earth, they had like two characters named Tandy. And like that was like one of the jokes

is that there was like, a that there was even a guy named Tandy and that that there were actually two guys named Tandy. And then here comes this show. And a guy he's like, ball, but has a ponytail. And he's named his Tandy Wilson. I just was like, I can't. This guy is hilarious.

Just without even saying anything. Yeah, that guy was all the guest judges were really funny today. They were all snarky. And I was like, I want to move to Nashville. Yeah, that guy was all the guest judges were really funny today. They were all snarky. And I was like, I want to move to Nashville. I like that guy. I guess he's the Kings of Leon guy. He was making fun.

He's just like making guy jokes the whole time. But it's like, it's dad jokes, but it's like dad's being naughty while they're golfing. You know, like a strip steak. Yeah, we like some strips. Don't we guys? You know, like one of those guys. But they're all like, but everyone was like laughing so much more than the jokes deserve because they're like oh my god

He's the lead singer of kings of Leon and for the louder we laugh the more tickets we get You know there's a lot of that Charlie Brown laughing yeah, so um so the plating begins, or did I skip over anything before we get into plating? No, I feel like this is not need to be 19 hours, okay? Yeah, I'm going to go back. What are we going to talk about? Nothing happened. This happens. It's set. And then we get into it. It's like 19 hours later. It's like we're limping towards the finish line. I know. So, um, so basically Eric serves first, he serves like his, this like a take on a breakfast, like a steak egg and something another inspired by biggy smalls and Tom says the meat is overcooked, but everyone else generally likes it. Then Justin, the big, the big drama happens that Justin only plates nine of his ten plates and he's like all upset because he's like,

this could be the winning dish and I don't have it. So he has to like face the judges with, basically not everyone gets to have a dish, which Padmas like, oh good, I'm so excited to say this. Quiet everyone, quiet. Just in. This means you're not eligible for the win. But that's going to go ahead. Go ahead.

Go ahead. Make an effort anyway. It'll be hilarious. This shows all about effort anyway. Sort of like gal eating her old rubber shoes. Lots of effort, not a great payoff, but entertaining nonetheless. So he tells them what it is and the wife, the King of Leon wife is hilarious because she's trying to be so nice to everyone. She's just like a nice person. Was she again? Oh, you mean my good friend, Lily Aldrich? Isn't that who it is?

Oh, yeah. My good friend, the wife of So-and-so, who's a friend of goodness, wife, wife. So yeah, she's just trying to be so nice to everybody, which is really cute, but He's like Justin comes out with his and she's like, oh my god. It looks just like purple rain. I was like, no, it doesn't it's like Yeah, it's sauteed cabbage. It looks like gloopy cabbage on the plate. I mean it didn't look bad But she'd be fair. She probably like doing a rain turn was like, Oh my God, cabbage is falling again. She took that it's raining meatballs or whatever. Yeah, seriously. Yeah, she thought that was an actual like farmer's almanac. It's quite a chance of meatballs. So Caleb is like, you know, well, I thought

it was great. I mean, I only got to have half of it. And Tom was, yeah, you're, you're a better half at the other half of it. And everyone's like, oh, yes. And Tom, one of these things like, yeah, nailed it, nailed it. Yeah, did it pretty good here? Richard?

I'm kind of out of order here. I'm trying to see. Judges set, big guys, just, oh, that's Jonathan Waxman I never remember Jonathan's wax I never remember his name so more like big guy big guy big guy isn't the end I start saying Jonathan Jonathan Jonathan Jonathan I love Jonathan Waxman he's just he's like he has that like slow rich person draw like like he just is easily dismissing anyone he's sort of like a male Padma I really appreciate it.

Yeah. So, okay, we did Justin, then Eddie comes out and he's like, I want to let my wife down and he tells him his story. And for what he's got Red Snapper with Edamame puree, which, you know, I mean, I don't know. And then there's some other kind of puree on there. And then, the fries.

The olive oil and puff fries, whatever. Yeah, there's sauces. And very, very lightly cooked fish. So the fish did look jelly and gross. Yeah, and then Jonathan's like felt like I was eating cereal. Ah, they were not having that. Yeah, Pam is like, have you made this dish for your wife often? And she hasn't left you right? Just wanted to check. Yeah, so they didn't like that one.

And then Michelle comes out and that's where she's like, I'm finding my voice. And she's like, I was inspired by the Beatles. And everyone's like, okay, basic. You know, look what a bass model I'm inspired by the Beatles. No offense to add. You know, but I think everyone was like, basic, because they were giving her a look.

And then she's like, it's red snapper with corn and father ragu. The smell of corn reminds me of my father. She starts kind of crying. And I was like, please don't do this during service. You know, which is terrible. And I know that that makes me a horrible human being.

But I'm like, do not do this during service. I just want to eat, you know, I was thinking selfishly, like, please let me just eat this bagel while I watch the show, you know? Yeah. And of course, Padma sees the tears and is like, like, she smells blood in the air. She's like, Oh, is your father still with us? You seem to be crying every time you mention his name. Is he alive? Is he alive right now she's like no no no he took his life when I was a kid and she's like oh delicious she's like hey wire she doesn't know what to say she's like she keeps poking her eye like this I think you've done a great tribute to your father and most importantly to the

memories of your idea like childhood I'm so glad Gale wasn't here to ruin it. Uh, uh, that was bad. Padma tried to pretend she's crying and wiping the warm fake tear at this coming out. Killed me. Okay. It's like a pointer. Matt, you know when you're trying to click on something and the pointer turns into a finger and it's like, yeah, it's right here. That's what Pat Moly. I think I found a tear. I'm not sure if I can squeeze it out. Wait, let me think about Kelsey listening

to all those hunter hay songs. Oh, yeah. It is a tear. I'm not masturbating and crying. What am I doing right now? Anyone? I can't tell if there's a tear of sadness or laughter. Maybe both. Or is this cake? She's like completely confused. So next up, oh yeah,

Tom's like, well, that was, you know what? That was the best thing we've had all season. Which is, you know, Tom can go either way. I feel like Tom's just trolling us at this point. Yeah. Because any other season, I feel like Tom would be like, this is that story. Fortunately, it was also a sad snapper. So, give it a go. You know what, I feel like all the salt in this dish were in her tears, not here on the plate.

So, it's then David Panic at the David disco because guess what, he turned around and he wasn't paying attention to the sauce because remember he had a lot of sauce work to do. And he would overreduce. He wouldn't accept help from anybody. Well, I didn't notice that. Yeah, he was like, no, no, this whole time they're like, can I help you? I'll help you play. And he's like, no, no, no, no, he's like horrible. And then sorry over reduced your sauce. Yeah. so he serves basically a salty sauce. So he, so David serves his dish, which was that light.

It was like the pork and the clam things would ever. And and I was like, I was just like too much mushroom here. It's just everything's mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, I don't, I don't get it. And Caleb is like, you know what man? The mushrooms look like prunes and some of you older guys at the table. You know what I'm talking about.

You old guys, you just keep matching pamphlets, being like, and gal, don't forget gal. Gal has a bath too, she gets it, am I right gal? Gal knows all about prunes. Hey, don't feel bad. Gales under reduced in my right Listen this sauce to salty just send it over to gal. She'll finish it off So then Kelsey is like my husband is gonna be proud of the fairy tale garden I created Okay it's gonna be proud of the fairy tale garden I created. Okay. And then now that didn't really work.

I did not like the way that looked. So it's grandma's gravy, you gotta stir it. And I was like, no, now granted, my memo isn't really a culinary pro or anything, but nope, it was unstoppable. It's like cement. That's great. Okay.

Well also, so Kelly, Kelsey Basley made a deconstructed chicken pot pie. And so it was like this, it was like a ring of things. And I did not think it looked pretty. To me, actually, anything it looked like it was from the 50s, it was like chicken then carrot then like parsley.

And I just was, to me it looked very unappetizing. And I love a chicken pot pie. I mean, who doesn't? Who's that for much jerks? I meanizing. And I love a chicken pop pie. I mean, who doesn't? Who's that for a mischirical? I mean, who doesn't love a chicken pop pie? I mean, I just find it despicable that someone would make a deconstructed chicken pop pie. The best part is the crust.

It's a bowl of crust with all that sauceiness that comes out of it that makes it all gooey on the inside. Yes, and there's something. Kelsey seems very nice on this show, and she's been nothing but really lovely to everybody, but I don't trust Kelsey and I don't think she's really nice. I think she's evil. And I've still matter her for saying I'm the only person who's had a baby on purpose.

I think that she seems evil, but in a way that I like. So I'm okay with it. But I want to like her. Like that's my thing. Like I see her and I'm like, I'm kind of want to be on her side because she's nice and funny, but there's just something evil in her eyes that I don't trust. So you know what, there, I'm sticking with it. I'd like her, but they've super-friendly over salted everything.

I guess she was too busy listening to those hunter-hade songs. Wow, obsessed much. Oh, so what else happened? So then Sarah makes some, brings out her jumbolyah, and everyone likes it. There's like no one, there's no like, there's no story with that. They just really, really like it a lot. It looks delicious. And Adrian, she serves her Futti Demare and Jonathan Waxman is like, I'm very conflicted

about this because it's supposed to be a butter broth, but it's more of a butter sauce. See. You know, they're like, okay, and then they're like, yeah, but it was tasty, delicious. And then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and. At this point, don't even listen to Lily. Lily just make him at this point. And Caleb is like, I mean, I have a question for the table. Okay, everyone. Okay. Okay. How can you have a dish with a nosh? And the musical component is not Nikki Mnosh. And everyone's like, ah! At that point, I was like, you're officially done with me. Okay. You need to walk away now, sir. Padma was doing her AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Ha ha, Derek Padma, you're pointing at your eye again. Sorry. So the judges table, Justin, Michelle and Sarah, the top three, but Justin can't win. And I told you before,

remember when I told you you were already disqualified. Has that sunk in yet? It's still true. Just wanted to bring you up here and rub your nose in it. Would you say this is one of your greatest disappointments Justin? We'll accept that. She's like, do you need to point your finger to your tear ducts? Please feel free. We'll wait.

Would you like a tissue? Guess what? I use them all. Sorry. So who ends up winning? Michelle and they're like, well, time goes well, you know, wouldn't it change the thing? It's like maybe you know better career choice, but other than that, you know, you know, still call your mother a Christmas and I still like you deeply. She's like, oh I'm see goes male dead. Her dish looked amazing. It looked so good. I was like, so I don't know what I expect them to do on top chef,

but I just get bored sometimes. I'm like, wow, red snapper. There we go. But what else are they supposed to make rocket ships? Like it's, like so many things. Is not a ship made of a ruler So uh, Pam is like all right everyone. Here's one Hey, there were a few dishes that hit a wrong note today Get it everyone get it. I I guess now I could sing for the kings of Leon to Some dishes didn't sing. They were a little flat. Come on. I mean, come on.

Come on, girl. Come on, bad. I keep going. Have you ever heard gal try to sing beautiful by Christina Aguilera? I've never disagreed with Christina Aguilera more. And she's a very good friend. Don't you hate when beautiful people sing beautiful by the way and karaoke with it's like some like gorgeous girl. She's like, I am beautiful. I'm like, what?

This is not made for you. Okay. The only thing worse is when people sing Alicia Keys on karaoke. I don't know what it is. There is something about a girl who loves getting up there and doing this. Oh, it's that song. They never hit it. They never sing it right. But there's in that moment when people sing that song, they think they're about to be discovered by, I don't know, the genre or something. I think that is so true. And to be fair, Alicia Keys never hits all the songs

that are going to have a song either. It is like, it's one of my least favorite songs. I think it's really been, the reason why it's my least favorite is because it went through years of being butchered on American Idol and now has like sunken down to the karaoke level. And I know, I think I've ranted about it before because I definitely got some messages being like,

oh my God, that's my karaoke song. I get it, I get it. But just know that that's what we're thinking. Like, yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't say you have a minute. But in your life, just know that that's what we're thinking when you sing it. Yeah, you suck. How about that?

So, yeah, the bottoms are Eddie Kelsey and David. Again, like you've been doing that before. So, I said, I say Jersey, that's what I wrote which I can't believe I actually even when I said that I guess it was gonna be Jersey, but then I couldn't believe they kicked him off because he's finally becoming a villain. I need my Villain. I know. She's like, David, how is the day for you? I'm assuming terrible because you served as mush on mush on mush. Otherwise known as gail's Tinder profile. I'm like, yeah, you know, yeah, that was terrible. Who's one? No, one texture. And John's been like, I was confused by the puff rice. What the fuck, dude?

Were they out of 3D pebbles in the back? Like, come on. And he's like, yeah, I overfocus the story. I just overfocus like yeah I over focus the story I just over focus dead which I don't remember puff rice in that story but whatever yeah yeah dad was like you guys watch watch Eddie cry it's almost like it's teeth are crying it's hilarious yes it's yeah so yeah and they're talking about David's clam south Tom's like you know I just I couldn't figure out what everything was. It's like, it was confusing me sort of like, like a privileged millennial who decides to become a mixologist instead of literally anything else in the world, especially a chef when his

father is a world famous chef who has his own TV show. Just, just, just bit falling here. Yeah, you know, and, uh, normally I like clams, but,, but I don't approve of what the clams are doing in this situation. And so, you know what, I'm not going to hold it against all clams. I'm going to just hold it up against the one clam that I let let his mother have too much saying his life. And that's pretty much it. So sorry to this had clam, but no. Here's here's two things I don't want on my clams. I don't want them to be sandy and I don't want them to become exologist. That's all. So then Padma then has like a classic Padma moment with Kelsey. She goes, Kelsey, did you taste your gravy? She's like, well, actually, you know, I did, I did taste it because

you never know how to answer these, right? And so Pat and I was like, and you didn't taste the salt. And so, well, I went back to taste it and I realized that the egg was a little too salty. And she's like, that wasn't the only thing. Because she has like a ton of components on her plate. And Graham's like, uh, yeah, I put my finger around it. That's he said this 20 times, by the way, we don't give Graham enough credit for like really sticky to his guns when he has a opinion.

He's yeah, I put my finger around it and I got salt like this, like this. I was like, why isn't anybody making a margaritaville joke? Okay. He said like a margarita. Oh, look, he has a gale snack on his finger. So Tom's like, yeah, the vegetables were salty, the salt was salty, the egg was salty, the dish was salty, dropped the mic, that's what we do, that's what we do. That's sort of, that's sort of reading that a chef can give that a mix of just can't, that's all thing. Oh good. Uh, so let's see.

John, they're trying to decide he's going home. And then Kelsey is just stunned that she's in the bottom. And it cracks me up because I'm not sure if I like her, but she is like completely just stunned that she's been in the bottom twice now. And she's like, this is the one time I've been in the bottom and in elimination challenge. Yeah. She didn't want anyone to be able to go like today. You mean today? Yeah. And Jonathan Waxman's like, well, you know, Kelsey's dish was like the Dead Sea, which is never a good comparison

with food. And he's like, what's the worst sin? Lack of passion or over saltiness? Gail is gail. Is that an option? Can we add that as an option? Number three, Gail, I choose three. Lack of Gail is the worst sin.

Take a note, top chef, and Gail forget to pregnant. No, I would have rather. I would have rather had a delayed season than a season without Gail. Yeah, I'm not approving. Yeah. So then Jonathan's like, well, we had two salty dogs, two salty dogs,

two salty dogs and one person who mailed it in. And Padma goes, he goes, but Eddie was boring and Padma goes, it really ate oily and greasy to me. It's like, okay. That was the most exciting. She got all season long. Like where'd that come from? She goes for being a total robot to being like, it ain't greasy to me.

Okay. I think it was when she got thrown off by that sad story. I think so. So ultimately, it comes down to those three and they send David home and Tom gives his like, let me kick you when you're down in speech. And he goes, you know, I honestly, David, I just, I really couldn't tell what I was eating. This sauce was way too overduced and way too salty. And for the more, I'm the number one guy from Elizabeth,

OK? I'm the number one guy. Get the fuck out of here. You know, music is supposed to signify great memories for us, chefs. And you know, the time you got married, or the time you fell in love, the time you had a baby, or the time you got married or the time you fell in love the time you had a baby or the time you got disgusted because nobody listens to your advice and comes

from your same town and then embarrasses your family name so thanks a lot. I'm glad there's not a sunstay so I don't have to avoid sending you a gift. Goodbye. Wait a minute. And just as a reminder to you, all the chefs here, every day is children's day, every day. And then Jersey's like, I'm so hard, bro. And I was like, you're a pussy, okay? You cried 19 times today, but God, I'm sad you're not going to be here to cry some more. And I have a feeling he's going to win.

Yeah. All the wins are going to come back because I think he's really good. And yeah, he's good and I I don't think that they would get rid of him. Yeah, I think he's coming back and then the episode ended with a in loving memory of Fatima and which and then I like promptly started to cry. So it's great. Oh, I know bless her heart bless her heart so anyway that's basically it

I think we both have a pretty this this recap went along and we have a pretty tight timeline of this afternoon. So we have to push the mailbag this week, unfortunately. Maybe we'll do it Monday. Also we have, we are going to do a set schedule now for these TV party live streams. We're going to be doing Monday and Tuesday at noon specific time until we announce differently. So just so everybody knows when those are. And if you want to catch the after plays, you can find those on Patreon and stream them to your TV or whatever, because we're also recording it for that.
