Ralph Andracchio  
Welcome back, everybody. Season two. I'm holding a knife, so you better be happy. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh yeah, he'll come and get you. 

Ralph Andracchio  
I'm just cutting up scallions for the top of our dish today. 

Aubrie Williams  
I love it. So fancy in your new, beautiful kitchen that looks like a like a Food Network, like staged kitchen, my friend. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Hey Food Network, if you're watching, 

Aubrie Williams  
yeah

Ralph Andracchio  
I already have everything I need. I just need your camera 

Aubrie Williams  
Go shoot three seasons of something in Ralph and Dan's house. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Ralph and Dan heat up leftovers this month on the Food Network. 

Shannon DeVido  
I'd watch that. 

Aubrie Williams  
I'd watch it honestly. Cheers, cheers to that show 

Ralph Andracchio  
Cheers to that show. And cheers to - can we plug things that we're using? Like, I always feel weird about mentioning actual like, names of things like wine and stuff. Can we say it or should we not? 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah, yeah. We're not gonna get in trouble. It's like, common stuff

Ralph Andracchio  
All right. Well, thank you, Josh, thank you Josh, for your Cabernet Sauvignon today. That we cooked the chicken in

Shannon DeVido  
Like, what? Like, just some dude named Josh.

Ralph Andracchio  
It's Josh wine, yep, 

Aubrie Williams  
Joshua

Shannon DeVido  
Great. Did you say from like, down the street? You were just, like, some guy named Josh, like, at the back of his, like, trunk open. It was like, Hey, want some wine? You we're like, yep. Thanks Josh 

Ralph Andracchio  
Made with love in somebody's bathtub. That's what, that's what I like about it. No, actually, Josh. Josh is a very good wine. So if you want to sponsor our show, it's, it's delicious.

Shannon DeVido  
Oh, great. I'm sorry for making fun of you, Josh. 

Ralph Andracchio  
No, it actually is very good wine. I used it to cook the chicken today, and I'm having a little bit of it. Little bit of it as a as a snack. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, nice. My old bosses love Josh wine. And I always joke that, like his last name's Wine. Josh Wine. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Oh, that would be Yeah. That would be funny if he just ended up being like a pilot or something. 

Aubrie Williams  
Just yeah, 

Shannon DeVido  
I hope he's not a pilot. I mean me might be for Delta. he and he flys a Boeing. I feel like there's just really bad juju around Josh and his piloting

Aubrie Williams  
I'm gonna plug for my mom. Um, I don't drink white wine, so I got Cabot Pinot Grigio a four pack, because they're the perfect for cooking, because you don't have to, like, you can just keep a bottle and cook with it, like three months from now. It's not like opening a bottle of wine and it goes bad. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Or it's terrible because there's no leftover wine to drink while you're cooking. 

Aubrie Williams  
Exactly, well, I just cracked another tiny bottle. But should I have needed it for a recipe in this cookbook four months from now? 

Ralph Andracchio  
Right? 

Aubrie Williams  
Still have it honestly. 

Ralph Andracchio  
So if every if anybody listening was on the journey with us, last season, we did the amazing cookbook of what was it? Nancy Drew Cookbook. Were were the were the recipes successful? Lord only knows. Go back. Give it a listen. But this time around, season two, we're we're stepping up our game. We're getting fancier. This season's all about 50 Shades of - 50 Shades of Chicken. If you, if you watch the movie, I'm sorry, but there is now a parody cookbook full of sexy chicken recipes. It's actually a New York Times bestseller.

Ralph Andracchio  
We've done two recipes so far. They're actually pretty good. So if you like what you're hearing and you like the recipe and it sounds delicious, please patronize the book. Go buy it. It's pretty good. 

Shannon DeVido  
I love that it's a New York Times bestseller. I really think that that's my favorite part of this entire thing. 

Ralph Andracchio  
You know, we're moving on up in the world, right? The Nancy Drew Cookbook, not a not a best seller, but a good book nonetheless. But now we're, you know, in the big leagues. If we're following Scream rules... this is the second part. So do I have to die? Does somebody like one of the main characters has to die right in the second one? 

Aubrie Williams  
Well, we're cooking chicken, so it's a possibility.

Shannon DeVido  
I'm not making it so... not it. 

Aubrie Williams  
5050, 50/50, between Ralph and I we'll see. I mean, a lot of garbage stuff, and done a lot of questionable things, and I'm still kicking so hopefully this carries me through. Hopefully my body is a... 

Ralph Andracchio  
Tank. It's built like a tank. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah, I think so. Should we welcome our guest guys? 

Ralph Andracchio  
I think so. I think it's time

Aubrie Williams  
Today we are joined by the wonderful Kait Thompson. She used to do Philly - comedy in Philly, and now she's a writer and comedian in LA so please join us in welcoming Kait Thompson. 

Aubrie Williams  
On an improv team with us. King Friday, right?

Ralph Andracchio  
Reunion

Kait Thompson  
King Friday chat 

Aubrie Williams  
In my orientation I'm right above Kait, so we're the Mani-Pedi side, and I'm drinking a - I'm drinking wine out of a glass that Shannon Brown  Shannon Brown made me so 

Kait Thompson  
It's beautiful. That's right

Aubrie Williams  
Aub-dog 

Kait Thompson  
I must know where mine is. That's bad. I'm a bad friend. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Oh, did everybody get a wine, a dedicated wine, personalized wine thing? Y

Kait Thompson  
Yeah 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah, Shannon was so, yeah. 

Kait Thompson  
Shannon always has really thoughtful presents, you know

Ralph Andracchio  
Thank you. It's not me but I'm gonna take credit.

Ralph Andracchio  
Are they all dog at the end, like Aub-dog and no, everybody got their own 

Aubrie Williams  
No nicknames, I think. And I just liked  my Aub-dog. 

Ralph Andracchio  
It's a big, it's a big glass. 

Kait Thompson  
Comically large

Aubrie Williams  
Like one of those, like giant, like, martini glasses they used to sell at Michael that you could put, like, plants in, or do like crafts in. 

Kait Thompson  
That's pretty much a fish bowl, yeah

Shannon DeVido  
Like the ones that you can sit in in that creepy hotel in the Poconos. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh yeah, yeah. What's it called? Oh God, 

Kait Thompson  
Jess was supposed to go there at some point. I forget what it was called. 

Shannon DeVido  
So there's no way they wash those well enough. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, that's so, yeah, I don't know 

Ralph Andracchio  
No!

Shannon DeVido  
What happened? 

Ralph Andracchio  
No, I'm saying they don't wash them. I'm responding... 

Shannon DeVido  
Oh, I thought something happened to your chicken. 

Ralph Andracchio  
No, no, no. It looks good so far. 

Aubrie Williams  
Well, this is sexy chicken, so I'm glad it went to the sexy hotel in the Pocono. Yeah. Why can't I remember what it's called? Um, Inn of the Dove is one of them, for sure. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Oh, yeah, 

Shannon DeVido  
Amazing. That isn't that the one around, like in Bucks County, though. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, that might be, there's... 

Shannon DeVido  
or New Jersey?  There's one in like Cherry Hill. 

Aubrie Williams  
That's in Harrisburg, I think 

Shannon DeVido  
Oh. There is multiple then...,

Kait Thompson  
What's up with Pennsylvania? They want to put you in there, like a big olive and... multiple towns to choose from where you could just float around. That's a dirty martini all right. 

Aubrie Williams  
Hey o.

Ralph Andracchio  
They are right in in the in that conglomerate of Intercourse, Bluelue Balls, and Bird in Hand, Pennsylvania. They're all around each other.

Kait Thompson  
Hell of a bumper sticker. Yeah. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah, destined to be. I definitely have an Intercourse shot glass. I'll break it out for one episode. 

Kait Thompson  
You owe us.

Shannon DeVido  
So what did, what did we make today? Do I?I don't even know. 

Ralph Andracchio  
I got this one. So - sorry, I snuck alittle piece of chicken, alright. So today's recipe is white wine steamed chicken breast with sesame oil and scallions. Serves four and it is really quickly the ingredients, you can find them on all of our socials, but I'll just run through them quick. There's just kosher salt, about two and a half pounds of chicken, white wine, black peppercorns, ginger root, garlic, soy sauce, scallions, rice vinegar, peanut oil or canola oil, sesame oil, and a little chili sauce, if you're feeling dangerous. Steam the chicken for 20 minutes and then make the sauce with all the other stuff. Drizzle a little on top, and we got some sexy white wine, steamed chicken breast. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah. Should we? Should we dig in? Ralph, are you plated? Are you like, ready to 

Ralph Andracchio  
I'm plated. I'm about to drizzle.

Aubrie Williams  
Ooh, okay. Well, we'll hold off for a second. 

Ralph Andracchio  
No, do you - all show yours while we do it? 

Shannon DeVido  
Yeah, you guys did so good, nice. 

Kait Thompson  
I didn't slice mine yet because I finished moments before we started recording, so I didn't want all the juices to, like, run away. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah? Fair, fair, good. 

Kait Thompson  
I'm taking my life in my hands right now. 

Shannon DeVido  
I appreciate that. 

Kait Thompson  
I watched, yeah, I watched a video of somebody steaming chicken like I, you know, I feel like I cooks. I cook meat pretty infrequently, because Jess is pescetarian. So if I'm, if I'm cooking, then I want to have it be something that we can both eat. So I was like, I haven't cooked. Wow. Ralph that looks like a..., 

Shannon DeVido  
oh, my god. Stanley Tucci, 

Ralph Andracchio  
I wish 

Aubrie Williams  
People that's great. 

Kait Thompson  
You have a nice, sharp knife, I can tell. Yeah, I'm pretty much punching my chicken apart because my knife is so blunt, 

Aubrie Williams  
like on my lap. like a, Neanderthal, um, 

Ralph Andracchio  
let's, let's try this out. See what happens. 

Kait Thompson  
Shredded, 

Aubrie Williams  
Shredded. Yeah, 

Kait Thompson  
The sauce smells awesome. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Oh, my God, 

Aubrie Williams  
whoo. That's very good... salty. 

Kait Thompson  
I'm so happy that I'm not an episode that's like, you know, like fucking potato chips crushed up into coffee or whatever, kind of like, when I listened to like Jana Savini, I was like, Oh, you guys are eating a hot smoothie. And I was like, Oh, no. 

Shannon DeVido  
Recipes last year were intense, 

Ralph Andracchio  
yeah, 

Aubrie Williams  
yeah. This is like, comedic in a different way. It's all the recipes seem like they'll all be good, but it is a cookbook based on 50 Shades of Gray, so, you know, 

Ralph Andracchio  
oh, hey, how sexy did you feel making this today? On a scale of one to chicken.

Kait Thompson  
Zero i I'm unsexy when I cook. I realized, I, you know, it's like, you, we watch a lot of cooking shows and stuff, and Jess does a lot of cooking in our house, 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, nice. 

Kait Thompson  
Um, I like cooking, and I find it interesting. I don't have that thing that makes people, chefs or whatever, like, you, like, watch these cooking shows, and they become very romantic about it, and, like, what, of what a calling it is, and everything that is just not in me at all. Um, you know, cursing, I making this I'm, I'm cursing a lot. I don't have very good like, my dexterity with my fingers is not great. So I'm I'm dropping stuff. I'm stuff falling, you know, it's going everywhere. That being said, I'm so happy to talk to you guys, and I'm happy that the chicken's cooked, and it's actually like, not bad, 

Aubrie Williams  
good, yeah, 

Ralph Andracchio  
This is super tasty. I really like this, 

Kait Thompson  
yeah

Aubrie Williams  
I think it really, like, sopped in the soy sauce, like the longer you 

Kait Thompson  
I did cheat, I should say, so I didn't change any of the ingredients, but on a so I watched a bunch of, like, YouTube videos about steaming chicken, and pretty much all of them, marinate the chicken for at least, like 20 minutes before, oh, I think that's probably why this threw off my timing or whatever. But I just like, put the wine, some of the ginger, some of the likes other, you know, salt and stuff, and just like, let it hang out for a minute and before I steamed it. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, nice. That's good, yeah.

Kait Thompson  
Stealing from YouTube. Tip for you 

Aubrie Williams  
that's awesome. Yeah, I wonder if we'll ever steam chicken again. I wonder if it's in the cookbook again, or that's the only one. 

Shannon DeVido  
It feels like a very 50 shades thing to do. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah 

Shannon DeVido  
So I'm gonna say yeah. 

Kait Thompson  
Is that the sexy thing about it is that it's like, steamy, 

Shannon DeVido  
yeah, 

Aubrie Williams  
maybe that's it. 

Shannon DeVido  
And the wine. You gotta get the you gotta get the chicken drunk first 

Kait Thompson  
I used this wine. 

Shannon DeVido  
That's fancy. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, it looks really fancy. I like the bottle

Kait Thompson  
It's the cheapest wine at the - cheapest white wine at the grocery store near me. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, nice. 

Kait Thompson  
Usually we have that chili crisp with like the lady on it. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh yeah, 

Kait Thompson  
they didn't have that. I have this Mr. B, oh, nice, mild because I'm a little baby.

Aubrie Williams  
I didn't have chili sauce or whatever it's called, oil, goin straight soy sauce and scallions. And canola...

Kait Thompson  
I've been using chili oil a lot like to put on the pan and then you, like, fry an egg in it. And that's really, 

Ralph Andracchio  
Oh, that sounds good. 

Kait Thompson  
It's so good. And it's not like, if I can eat it. It's not like, so boilingly spicy, or whatever. You know what I mean? 

Ralph Andracchio  
Dan's trying the chicken for the first time. And I don't know if it's a good face or a bad, good, thumbs up. Okay. 

Kait Thompson  
He's thinking about it? 

Ralph Andracchio  
He's thinking it. Oh, he did the he did one of these. Okay, great. 

Kait Thompson  
I think that's the highest compliment. 

Ralph Andracchio  
It is, yeah. As a chef that's, yeah. I want to jerk off to this chicken. 

Aubrie Williams  
So it's, you know, that's, yeah, how many? How many? How many orgasms does it? Does Dan give it? You know?

Ralph Andracchio  
One out of five orgasms. Five out of five. What is it? Alright. He has a refractory period. 

Kait Thompson  
He has to think about it. 

Shannon DeVido  
Wow, sure. 

Kait Thompson  
Yeah. What's your guys favorite thing that you've made for the podcast so far?

Aubrie Williams  
So this is our first, technically, for this season, right? 

Kait Thompson  
Well, yeah, I mean, like overall, though,

Shannon DeVido  
Definitely not last year's. 

Kait Thompson  
Oh, nothing on last year. Nothing.

Aubrie Williams  
French toast was safe.

Ralph Andracchio  
Uh, French toast is actually good. 

Aubrie Williams  
It's very good. 

Ralph Andracchio  
The Jerk Chicken. We made a We tried the jerk chicken one of the other recipes from this book, and it was pretty good too, but we didn't do it officially yet. So 

Kait Thompson  
I'm so happy you've stopped punishing yourselves and are making edible food. I think that's gonna make for some good, some nice, fun time. 

Aubrie Williams  
So I feel like I have like, eight least favorite things from last season. 

Kait Thompson  
Yeah

Aubrie Williams  
The winner is mystery corn pudding with Darryl Charles. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Oh yeah. That was terrible. 

Aubrie Williams  
I did the variation and put tuna fish in it because, like, I I didn't want anyone else to have to do it, and I'm responsible for the season. So I felt like I had to 

Kait Thompson  
You're a trailblazer. 

Aubrie Williams  
Well, I realized I'm just an idiot

Kait Thompson  
You're taking the bullet for everybody. 

Aubrie Williams  
I don't want anyone else to have to do that it was made with, like, Cheez-Its, creamed corn, tuna. 

Kait Thompson  
I love a weird casserole, though, like, sometimes I watch in Instagram or whatever, and I'll get, like, you know, whatever dump cake slop that their talent, that somebody's making, and I'm like, I would have a bite of that. I would try it. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, nice. 

Shannon DeVido  
Yeah. But aren't you the person who decided that they should eat everything bagel ice cream? 

Kait Thompson  
I did, yeah, with Aubrie.

Shannon DeVido  
Yeah can you talk to that experience? 

Ralph Andracchio  
Yeah. Tell us about that. 

Shannon DeVido  
It, it's something that lives in my brain, and I wasn't even there. 

Kait Thompson  
I know I'm sorry that, that it even had to enter your head

Shannon DeVido  
No, I, I, I feel like I'm I can I feel like I know more about you because of it. 

Kait Thompson  
I try to be adventurous with food, you know? I try not to be a picky eater. I try to like, you know, I I, and I try not to be like, ew, like, I get that instinct for a lot of food. But I think just like being in LA, there's a lot more options. So there's a lot of things that I maybe wouldn't try that i Turns out, you know, turns out I, I love, um, everything is bagel ice cream, man, it's just like a savory ice cream. It's just like, I it's not, I'm not used to it. It's not my like palette, right? But I get it in theory. It's like, if you're putting cream cheese on a bagel, you're like, it's in that world. Like, I was like, I get the leap, 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah

Kait Thompson  
But yeah, it just, I'm gonna stick to sweet ice cream. 

Ralph Andracchio  
What's it? What's something that you've tried since you've been in LA that surprised you the most of like, hey, I really like this. And I didn't think I would. 

Kait Thompson  
I think I the stuff that comes to mind the most would be like, tongue tacos. Like tongue meat in a taco. There's, like, a lot of, I mean, I you could probably just get that in Philly just as easily. But I think it's I didn't try it until I was here. I did try - not in LA, but in I did San Francisco Sketchfest a few years ago, and this really nice guy on the team, Mike Lane, is from the Bay Area, and was like, this is a restaurant that my family goes to, and so it's like, this Chinese restaurant that had, like, dim sum and like, like, like, chicken feet, kind of, like, a lot of and when I was looking at this recipe, a lot of the, like, boiled chicken was, like, different, like Asian recipes where the texture that they're going for is, like, gelatinous. And I was like, oh, okay, I, you know, I never, I never had, like, gelatinous food really like that before. 

Kait Thompson  
Shannon's not feeling it, but I was like, let me try it. I don't know it's something that it's like, he's like, Yeah, my family would eat this. And it was totally great. And so I gave it a shot. I'll tell you, I'm not cooking chicken feet for myself on a regular basis, but I'm glad I tried it and like, yeah, I guess just a lot of like, various Asian foods like that, a lot of, like, Thai food that I probably wouldn't have tried just because it wasn't available. You know, in Bucks County, you're not getting. Like, maybe now, I don't know, maybe now there's more. There's like, boba tea in my old in my hometown. So, 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, wow, 

Kait Thompson  
I maybe there someday 

Shannon DeVido  
I do have that now we, I don't think that we have really expanded beyond - we keep adding more Italian restaurants. Because, 

Kait Thompson  
sure, yeah

Shannon DeVido  
I don't know why 

Kait Thompson  
You can never have, yeah, 

Shannon DeVido  
you never have too many 

Kait Thompson  
Italian restaurants. Or CVS's is like one of the most... 

Shannon DeVido  
Yeah, you just really described Bucks County 

Kait Thompson  
Yeah, I do miss East Coast Italian food. Like, every time I go home, I'm like, can I just get pretty much a lot of just a lot of food, and even, like, the Mexican food there, there's a lot of really good Mexican food in Philadelphia. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh yeah, 

Kait Thompson  
obviously LA has, like, a ton, and it's all really good. But I like, I kind of like, all different versions of Mexican food, whether, you know, regardless of authenticity. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Are they - are the Gardens of Taxco still there in LA? 

Kait Thompson  
I don't know where's that? 

Ralph Andracchio  
It's like West Hollywood ish, we I, when me and Dan lived out there, we used to go there all the time. 

Kait Thompson  
Let me see...

Ralph Andracchio  
And there's this little hole in the wall Mexican place. They had a fixed menu, and it was like different courses, and there was no menu. The guy would just come and tell you, what was it on the menu. 

Kait Thompson  
Sounds great. 

Ralph Andracchio  
The chicken was born in the sauce. It was so good. And then they had, like, they, they had, like, a little band that would come around and play guitar and sing for all the tables, and it 

Kait Thompson  
That sounds beautiful. 

Ralph Andracchio  
It was wonderful experience. And I'm, I'm scared that they closed, but it was just, 

Kait Thompson  
They're open, 

Ralph Andracchio  
they're open, 

Kait Thompson  
they're opening. There are they, they are open. And, yeah, they're like, 430 to 11. I'm gonna go there. That sounds so great

Ralph Andracchio  
please go and tell me how it, how you like it, because it's, it's one it's something that I think a lot of restaurants are missing. It's like an experience, like, you don't just down and eat and leave. It's like, very interactive. And it's, it's a smallish place, but, it's very like family and like, Hey, you're at our house. Here's what we're gonna - you know, I like food 

Kait Thompson  
That sounds so good, 

Ralph Andracchio  
yeah, and the food was really amazing. And they had this really great dessert of, like, banana pudding in a little glass. It was, I mean, it was so good. I can't even, I can't even describe how good everything was. So, yeah, treat yourself. 

Kait Thompson  
I am excited. I can't wait to go right? I feel like LA has that a lot like you, like you mentioned, like, food as an experience. I feel like a lot of restaurants are experiences out here, or like, even like little speakeasies or whatever. Like, there's like, whole kind of like setups around eating in LA, 

Ralph Andracchio  
yeah, 

Kait Thompson  
I'm sure it exists in in Philly. But I was just like, too broke and not like I was going there just to do like, uh, sketch. So it's like, only eating there, like, as an afterthought. 

Ralph Andracchio  
I think, mark my words. I think there's gonna the pendulum is gonna be swinging back, where people want to get out and hang out together, like malls are gonna come back. Like restaurants as an experience is gonna come back. And I'm not like talking about Cheesecake Factory, like, Oh, it's this big experience, but like the intimate, like you were talking about the speakeasy, places where people go and you can relax and like, the servers will talk to you about what's on the menu. What do you want try this? Like, I like those kind of places where it's not just, like, eat and get out. It's like, Yeah, I'm not on a conveyor belt, like, I'm here. 

Kait Thompson  
Philly does have that at the Rim Cafe. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh yeah, 

Kait Thompson  
That makes me think of, 

Ralph Andracchio  
right? 

Kait Thompson  
Yeah, Rim Cafe for, I guess it's like, not like your whole meal, but if you want to eat like a Snickers bar shaved onto a like cannoli, like dessert, it's like the best. It's so great. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah, the volcano, 

Kait Thompson  
But I think you're right Ralph

Ralph Andracchio  
I hope I'm right

Aubrie Williams  
I went to Marrakech - or it's Casablanca and Marrakech are owned by the same people, but it's like, really good Moroccan food, and there's like belly dancing and stuff. It's like family style. So they bring it's like $25 for like a seven course meal. It's wild, yeah, 

Kait Thompson  
For your - when we went to Dollywood together, we went to that "experience" I guess you would call it the - Dolly's... 

Aubrie Williams  
Stampede, yeah, 

Kait Thompson  
Stampede, yeah, yeah, 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah. You get, like,

Kait Thompson  
you watch like, people, like, like, trick riding horses around, and there's like, all kinds of cool, 

Aubrie Williams  
weird, 

Kait Thompson  
I dont know. it's a whole show, 

Aubrie Williams  
yeah, there's, yeah, there's like, a competition between audience members. It's the North versus the South, which is very problematic, 

Kait Thompson  
Super weird, yeah. South won, when we went. The south straight up won, I was like, didn't think they would maybe do that. I don't know. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah, I have questions, because there are, like, I know Dolly, yeah, we're not gonna get into that now. 

Kait Thompson  
Yeah, yeah, sorry. I don't want to. You know, don't mean to disparage. 

Aubrie Williams  
they have, like, you have to choose your meal. And it's like, you can do vegetarian, but it's like chicken and like biscuits and like a creamy cheddar soup with vegetables. 

Kait Thompson  
Yeah, I wouldn't say culinarily. It was the height of the trip. It was, you know that you're going there to watch people stand on a horse and ride it in a circle and be like, holy shit. 

Aubrie Williams  
It's akin to medieval times. 

Kait Thompson  
It's medieval times. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah, it's very much like, like, Pigeon Forge, medieval times,

Kait Thompson  
Western medieval times. Good shit. 

Aubrie Williams  
I know. I'm glad we all experienced it together. It's, it's wild. It's truly wild. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Hey Shannon, do you want to read the story that goes along with this one, because every, every recipe this season has a sexy story that goes along with it. 

Kait Thompson  
We might get too horny. Uh oh. Go ahead, let's hear, 

Ralph Andracchio  
Glad I'm wearing an apron. 

Shannon DeVido  
Yeah, you definitely might. So this season - last season, in our segment, Shannon's the Worst Cook in America. I told you stories of how terrible of cook I am, which is true. Um, but this season, we thought, well, I am a terrible, terrible cook, but I'm a mediocre actor, so I decided to, I'm going to dramatically read the story before that is presented before the recipe. So this story is called "Steamy White Meat", which I have thoughts, but we'll save those okay. Are we ready? 

Kait Thompson  
I don't know if I'll ever be ready, but 

Shannon DeVido  
I don't think anyone will be but here, here we go, 

Shannon DeVido  
Steamy enough? he asked in a low voice. I'm unable to answer tendrils of vapor wise from my naked, wet breasts. He's cooked me gently but quickly. Kinky as it might be, I find myself wanting more and more from this kitchen Adonis. He holds a tiny silver spoon above me, letting it fall, dropping tantalizing drop a dark, mysterious, dripping sauce. It's the slowest, most sensuous thing imaginable. 

Shannon DeVido  
In her crushed velvet coop, my inner goddess fans herself with both wings. "I'm going to take a very, very long time to season you, baby. I promise you, the sesame is much better this time." This time? I'm confused. He's never used sesame sauce me before. "Better than what?" I managed to say as I catch my breath. He flushes. "Better than the last time I tested it." It's obvious he's leaving something out. Why would he have tested this sauce without me? I feel anger rising my breast. 

Shannon DeVido  
He made it for her. "You used the same sauce before. With who?" I'm trying not to yell, but my inner goddess takes a cold shower and mopes back to her perched to sleep. "Do you want an honest answer?" Was it her? Was it the radish? He inhaled sharply and then dropped his shoulder with a sigh. "We had experiments with a lot of different permutations, radish granita, radish tartar, gin radishtini. Finally, during radish Omakase, I tried her in dipping sauce. I added too much wasabi. It's something, it's something I regret very much. 

Shannon DeVido  
"And you're trying the same thing on me?" I asked coldly. "No chicken. With her it was yuzu, not rice vinegar, and there was wasabi. What I've prepared for you is is quite different." But I can see that he's digging himself deeper. He puts down the tiny spoon. It wasn't if I wasn't steamed enough before, I sure as hell am now." And scene.

Aubrie Williams  
Scandalous. Scandalous scandalous. I love that. It's like chicken porn.

Kait Thompson  
Chicken POV

Shannon DeVido  
It really is. It makes me very uncomfortable

Aubrie Williams  
Inner goddess 

Kait Thompson  
Uncomfortable with how much you like it, with what it's awoken in you?

Shannon DeVido  
Yeah, it's a combo of things 

Aubrie Williams  
Let's turn our cameras and mic's off for five minutes, and then come back

Ralph Andracchio  
I enjoy that you're her... the inner goddess was a chicken who, like was, had a had a crushed velvet coop. 

Shannon DeVido  
Yeah 

Aubrie Williams  
She's a sexy chicken. 

Ralph Andracchio  
I enjoyed that part. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah, inner goddess had to have been in the book 50 Shades of Gray, right? Like they had to say that every three seconds. 

Kait Thompson  
Have you guys read them? 

Aubrie Williams  
Hey, wait, So Kait, were you in the car when we listened? 

Kait Thompson  
No, I okay. So Aubrie, and like the rest of Mani Pedi, went to Chicago and listened to 50 Shades of Gray audiobook while they were driving. I wasn't there. But when, when Jess and I moved across the country, Aaron Eunice made a really nice present. He, like, recorded a lot of different people, like, oh, like, as though it was like a radio show or something like that. Like, had songs, like a mixtape, playlist kind of thing. And Aubrie and Brianna read 50 Shades of Gray on there, including, like, the email times like, it included like, I guess that's what like audiobook has. 

Aubrie Williams  
They say, like, the subject line in the audiobook they say like, such, it's so crazy. And like the girl reading it sounded like a 12 year old girl. She was of age, but like, it made it even creepier. And we started it - Madonna pitched it as a bit, and we thought it would be funny, and then it, like, turned real, really fast. But we also were not like, we we weren't ready to let the bit down. So we all, like, just, like, buckled down and kept with it, and we were like, making fun of it. But like, also, like, it was a lot. It was... 

Kait Thompson  
How long did you listen to it? Like, how much of the book did you listen 

Aubrie Williams  
Almost the end. So we listened to it the full way there, almost full way back, I think, like, around, like, we were, like, an hour and a half out. 

Kait Thompson  
Instead of talking?

Aubrie Williams  
We talked over it. We weren't like, listening listening to it. but 

Kait Thompson  
You were jerking off. 

Aubrie Williams  
It was, I don't we, I think we turned on music at like points, but like, we were all just like, so committed to this bit that we were almost like, too proud to, like, not

Shannon DeVido  
Just one book or all three?

Aubrie Williams  
Just there was only one at the time. I think Madonna had got it on audiobook and then, like, so that's basically on the way back. We were, like, an hour and a half out, and I think it was Madonna who was like, I'm gonna be sick. Like, can we please show that? I don't want to... 

Kait Thompson  
I'm surprised she let it go that long. 

Aubrie Williams  
Honestly, I'm surprised any of us did not stop it, and Brianna was driving most of the time. But, you know, Brianna Kelly, and I do know, if she will, like, she'll...

Kait Thompson  
Brianna will commit to the bit to a degree where, like, that's what, that's what I'm saying. Like, Madonna would be like, she knows when to edit, right? Like, that's also a strength in comedy, 

Aubrie Williams  
yeah

Kait Thompson  
being able to stop to, you know, committing to the bit isn't always admirable, 

Aubrie Williams  
And it was just us in a car, like, no one, you know...

Kait Thompson  
Yorturing each other, 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah. So we felt like That was, like, the way, like we're like, this is the thing we're doing. And like, maybe it was like a show in and of itself. 

Kait Thompson  
Maybe I liked how much I got. I liked the snippet before a song played on the DVD. I still have those CDs, and I did listen to it the other like, You gave it to us in a speak, I guess this is food related in just like, he handed us a box of, like, peas, like, like, microwavable peas. But it was like the cardboard box that it came in. He was like, don't open this until you pass the Mississippi River. Had no idea what it was, you know,

Aubrie Williams  
oh, my God, 

Kait Thompson  
he's very cute, and we did honor that. You know, we committed to that. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, I love that. No, it was so good to be a part of your journey out. And I'm sorry, Brianna and I exposed you to that. 

Kait Thompson  
No it was really funny, 

Ralph Andracchio  
Has - has any other romance novel, I guess I can say that has any other romance novel like captured the the public's attention, like 50 Shades of Gray. Do you remember anything else? 

Kait Thompson  
Being that, sexy, I guess, like FaFabio is the only other, like, famous romance novel thing, 

Ralph Andracchio  
Right? 

Kait Thompson  
I could really think that before I think, like, I think books like that are getting, like, pretty popular, like, my sister's reading it A Court of Thorns and Roses. It's like fantasy, sexy fantasies, or whatever, with, like, dragons and shit. I just started, I don't know if that's true. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah. Is that, like, Fourth Wing is the second one? Is that the is that... 

Shannon DeVido  
No that's a totally different series

Kait Thompson  
Yeah. Have you read it? Shannon,

Shannon DeVido  
I have not. No, I I have it sitting on my desk. I have not read the court the throne one, the Court of Thrones. But there's like, five of those, right? I think that, like, What's so weird to me, about 50 Shades of Gray, though, is that it was basically fanfic, about for Twilight, right? Yeah, which is so insane to me, yeah

Ralph Andracchio  
Stop it. Say more.

Shannon DeVido  
Absolutely. That's exactly. And I said absolutely what it was. And this is, like, I guess, I'm assuming that she had like, a blog or something, and then she turned it into these books, and they became like, you know, 45 year old women's, like, and so, like, it's super strange to think that this is based on like, because there's no vampires and like, like werewolves in it. So I don't even know how. I don't know the correlation. I don't really understand it.

Shannon DeVido  
So the the movies 50 Shades of Gray are technically happening within the Twilight universe, like on the other side of the country? 

Aubrie Williams  
Not at all

Ralph Andracchio  
because I would like that. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, maybe,

Shannon DeVido  
but maybe because it's like, I don't, I don't. I have to look more into it, and we'll, we'll get back to you by the end of season. Um, no, no, because I actually am wondering how it's related, because I've always heard that that is the case that it was, is fanfic from Twilight, but like, there's no mention of any of the other characters, which I guess makes sense, because you can't copyright... 

Aubrie Williams  
Nothing supernatural just the sex stuff. The characters are very one dimensional. 

Shannon DeVido  
And they're nothing like the Twilight characters from what I know? It's so strange, like, I don't know what, what the fan fiction really was like. I don't like, I don't know. I'll look - we'll get back to you guys. Stay tuned. 

Aubrie Williams  
It could be just that, like, they're very brooding in a way that, like, Isn't warranted by anything. And I know Twilight was like, similar. So maybe it's more, like, a the mood of it, yeah, mood or, like, 

Kait Thompson  
There probably were, like, popular romance novels and stuff before that. But I just wasn't, not in my not that I saw, you know, like, as a little Catholic school kid or whatever, I probably wouldn't have been exposed to that. 

Aubrie Williams  
Danielle - was, Danielle Steel like a romantic, 

Ralph Andracchio  
Oh yeah, 

Shannon DeVido  
yeah

Aubrie Williams  
yeah. 

Shannon DeVido  
Well, they were - weren't they like mystery romances, I don't even know 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah butwasn't that middle aged woman? Like that was like, the big thing, 

Shannon DeVido  
Sure yeah, all the beach reads, 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah the beach reads Yeah, probably less sex. I mean, I've never read anything by Danielle Steel. 

Shannon DeVido  
I don't know but they were never made into movies. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah, 

Ralph Andracchio  
I'm curious, because there was a like through the late 80s and into like, the 90s. There was that, that glut of, like, Basic Instinctie movies that were that much like, 

Kait Thompson  
like a sexual thriller

Ralph Andracchio  
sexual thriller, that have kinda fallen out of favor. And I'm curious when that that pendulum is going to swing back, because I feel like 

Shannon DeVido  
Like the malls

Kait Thompson  
I think like Love, Love Lies Bleeding, I think, is like, right in that wheelhouse. I think you can talk about that 

Ralph Andracchio  
I think the the generations that came after the Gen X and Millennials have kind of like shied away from all that kind of psychosexual thriller stuff and like. So I'm not sure what I know that the pendulum always swings back, but I think, 

Kait Thompson  
I think young people now have like better sexual like, they have like, more mature areas to like, deal with sexual relationships. You know, there's not like, these weird dynamics where it's like, she's gonna ruin my life. I don't know. Maybe you have to talk to a young person. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah

Ralph Andracchio  
Well I don't like that

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, we'll find a young person 

Ralph Andracchio  
They scare me. I don't want to talk to them. 

Shannon DeVido  
I don't know how to talk to them 

Aubrie Williams  
We'll poll them on Instagram. I'm sure we have one young follower. 

Shannon DeVido  
See, that's the problem. You said Instagram, and that's not that's not right? 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, yeah, sorry, 

Shannon DeVido  
It's the TikTokok. 

Kait Thompson  
What about when TikTok is banned?anned? Like for real. 

Shannon DeVido  
That's a good question. I wonder what's going to happen to all the...

Ralph Andracchio  
I don't think it's gonna happen 

Shannon DeVido  
How are they going to learn things? 

Aubrie Williams  
From us old heads.

Shannon DeVido  
They gonna have to come to Instagram. They're going to go back to Facebook. MySpace is coming back. Everything is coming back. 

Kait Thompson  
I believe MySpace before Facebook. 

Shannon DeVido  
Dude, Myspace would be great. I missed the top - in the the the top eight. So you could be so incredibly like 

Ralph Andracchio  
so much drama

Shannon DeVido  
so much drama, so passive aggressive. The passive aggression that went into your top eight was truly palpable. 

Aubrie Williams  
God, I It wasn't very recent, but you could log back into MySpace for a while. So I did it within the past, like three years, and I was, like 

Kait Thompson  
There was like a push for them to try to re - like and like restart, yeah.

Ralph Andracchio  
Well didn't it restart as, like a music space, like MySpace music or something? 

Kait Thompson  
Sounds right. I dunno I didn't do it 

Aubrie Williams  
Because you could play, because I had 

Kait Thompson  
Let's get our Zanga's out, 

Aubrie Williams  
yeah, I had a Zanga. 

Kait Thompson  
Yeah, me too, yeah. So good. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Wait, what is a Z Zanganga? 

Kait Thompson  
It's like a blog? Kind of like you have a live, Live Journal, yeah? Like, 

Ralph Andracchio  
oh, yeah, 

Kait Thompson  
pretty much that, 

Ralph Andracchio  
okay,

Aubrie Williams  
But the name was cooler I guess?

Kait Thompson  
You could put music on too. You could like program, you know, like MySpace, you could have like a song, 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah. It was very much like AngelFireFire sites like that MyMySpace 

Ralph Andracchio  
Geocities! yeah, 

Kait Thompson  
yeah, hell yeah, 

Ralph Andracchio  
oh, man, I'm old as shit. 

Kait Thompson  
I got you.

Shannon DeVido  
We are aging ourselves as this progresses, 

Ralph Andracchio  
Before we age ourselves anymore, should we get to our questions? 

Shannon DeVido  
Yes, please! 

Ralph Andracchio  
So wecame up with some questions just to get to know you a little bit more. Please answer as honestly or as fallaciously as you would like.

Kait Thompson  
Fallaciously. This is a horny episode.

Ralph Andracchio  
I know it's very - I probably use that word wrong. Don't send me emails. I don't care. I just delete them. Alright. Question one, what do you think is the sexiest food, besides chicken? 

Kait Thompson  
The sexiest food? I mean, I guess, like the classic sort of, like, whipped cream, strawberry kind of a thing? 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah. There you go. Good answer, yeah, 

Kait Thompson  
I guess. I guess, honestly, oysters are supposed to be aphrodisiac, right? 

Ralph Andracchio  
It's like eating snot. No, thank you.

Kait Thompson  
I guess that's a good way to gage you could be like, if you will eat an oyster. I don't know. Don't follow this. Don't follow this all the way. So, yeah, so, yeah, like, I feel like something accessible and fun, like whipped cream or strawberries. You can't really go wrong with those as sexy foods, right? 

Ralph Andracchio  
Yep

Aubrie Williams  
yeah. Yep, yeah, yeah, I love it. 

Shannon DeVido  
Plus the shape of the strawberries, just really

Kait Thompson  
Yeah, is Yeah? 

Shannon DeVido  
Really sexy Yeah,

Aubrie Williams  
yeah, not as sexiest chicken. But here we are 

Kait Thompson  
Almost. I won't be that turned on by it until I hear a story from the POV of the strawberry, about being consumed, or whatever 

Aubrie Williams  
That can be our side project, we're gonna write a book of erotica from the strawberry... 

Kait Thompson  
Isn't that that's that is a that is a real thing, like a kink, that vore. You know what I mean. Have you ever heard of that? The idea of being eaten whole entirely, and like being alive inside someone's body. It's like a pure,

Ralph Andracchio  
It's vore. I know this one yeah, you consume somebody, and they live inside you, and you can birth them out or throw them up. It's a whole 

Kait Thompson  
Just write your little strawberry vore.

Aubrie Williams  
Like very magic.

Kait Thompson  
I invented it in 1990 I don't know,

Ralph Andracchio  
On GeoCities,

Kait Thompson  
Yeah, yeah, it was on my Zanga. It started as a Zanga. It evolved. It was a Twilight fan fiction 

Aubrie Williams  
That sounds very Magic Schoolbussie, but like in a not Magic School Bus. 

Kait Thompson  
It's probably what started it, 

Shannon DeVido  
Yeah school bus, fanfic, 

Aubrie Williams  
Miss Frizzle 

Shannon DeVido  
She would be into that.

Aubrie Williams  
She would be into that.

Kait Thompson  
What do you guys think is the sexiest food? Or do you want just from me? 

Shannon DeVido  
We just want to know about yours. Ours is all chicken that's why we that's why we said this, yeah,

Kait Thompson  
okay, gotcha, yeah, yeah.

Aubrie Williams  
Mine's green olives. It's a throw back to Season One 

Kait Thompson  
Green olives, sure 

Shannon DeVido  
Because it was on every - Oh, God, 

Kait Thompson  
real sexy 

Shannon DeVido  
real sexy food 

Aubrie Williams  
I like green olives. I am a fan.

Kait Thompson  
Are you guys all olive fans too? 

Ralph Andracchio  
I'm a black olive fan,

Kait Thompson  
Okay, I like olives on stuff. I'm not going for the jar. Just can't eat a whole jar of just olives like 

Aubrie Williams  
They taste savory 

Kait Thompson  
little savory guys. That's not for me, 

Ralph Andracchio  
absolutely 

Kait Thompson  
I don't mind them on something, 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah. They're better that way. I think they're not meant to be eaten. But when I was a kid, I could eat, like, a whole can of black olives. And I would put the fingers like British guards and pretend they were, like, British 

Kait Thompson  
Of course. Try to make your fingers laugh,

Aubrie Williams  
yeah. Try to make Yeah. Try and do bits.

Kait Thompson  
Oh, I ate, like, a off the tree olive, like, before it's, like, pickled or whatever, that was terrible. It was completely bitter and, like, red inside, like, the flesh was really red, and it, yeah, it was inedible. Like, I did it as, like, I don't know, because someone's like, it's bad. And I was like, Well, sure, let's try it. So I don't know. It's my hurtful instinct for myself. Yeah, it was so, so bad. Oh, but I do, like, you know, once they're pickled I'll eat an olive. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah, yeah, very salty. Um, who is the sexiest food mascot to you Kait?

Kait Thompson  
Um, you know, I thought about this, uh, I immediately looked at Mr. Bing, but it's not Mr. Bing. Even though he's cute, he's so cute, 

Ralph Andracchio  
Adorable. Yeah,

Kait Thompson  
I guess Paul Newman, right? 

Ralph Andracchio  
Oh, yeah. 

Kait Thompson  
I was trying to think of like, who are all the human mascots for? Because I guess you could fuck Tony the Tiger or whatever. Then we get into 

Ralph Andracchio  
Very fuckable. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah. 

Kait Thompson  
I was like, let's keep it human. Jolly Green Giant is humanoid. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah, there's not too many humanoid 

Kait Thompson  
He's large. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Oh, ho, ho, 

Shannon DeVido  
Oh, that man works out.

Kait Thompson  
Yeah, I'll go with Paul Newman. We used to get Newman's Fig Newman's instead of Fig Newtons at my house, and I just remember, I think he's on there with his wife. 

Shannon DeVido  
That's amazing. What did they taste like Fig Newtons? 

Kait Thompson  
Oh, yeah, you know, whatever. It's like, yeah, they're like, close enough. It's like, Hydrox and Oreo, where it's like, this is doing the trick, and it's like, $2 cheaper or anything really. Yeah, it's the same. 

Aubrie Williams  
They're usually manufactured by the same people. 

Kait Thompson  
Yeah, a lot of times, a lot of stuff that like, a lot of generic stuff. So, 

Ralph Andracchio  
All right, my turn again. Oh, if you wrote a sexy cookbook, what would your sexy cookbook be called, and why?

Kait Thompson  
Okay, it would. It would be, If You Can't Stand the Heat. Oh, wait no, it would be, I it probably like, Let's Get Takeout. Ways to, like, reheat takeout is that a real cookbook. I feel like that's so much sexier to me. I'm, I'm such an unsexy cook that it doesn't, 

Aubrie Williams  
Doesn't do it for ya

Kait Thompson  
Yeah, Jess cooks and it's great, and it tastes great. She's hot when she does it. That's, you know, it's just not for, oh, and then I eat her whole, and then she's, that's how we do it in there. Now she's in there now, so

Aubrie Williams  
She is, I was wondering, 

Kait Thompson  
yeah, yeah, I Yeah, okay, so Let's Heat Up Takeout Together, Baby. 

Ralph Andracchio  
Perfect.

Kait Thompson  
By Kait Thompson, 

Shannon DeVido  
That is a that is my kind of sexy. 

Kait Thompson  
Shannon, I thought you would like that. 

Shannon DeVido  
I do. I sign up for that one immediately. I'll write all the stories for your sexy cookbook, Arby's, okay, um, 

Kait Thompson  
They got the meats. 

Shannon DeVido  
They got the meats. 

Ralph Andracchio  
They do. 

Shannon DeVido  
It's already built in, yeah,

Ralph Andracchio  
And is Arby's Arby's because it's the letter R, and the letter B for roast beef? 

Aubrie Williams  
I heard that 

Kait Thompson  
That's incredible. 

Shannon DeVido  
Yeah, true. I believe 

Ralph Andracchio  
I heard that right. I'm not just dreaming that. 

Kait Thompson  
I thought it was like Arby McGillicuddy started it. That is what I... I thought it was just a guy named Arby opened a stand 

Shannon DeVido  
who wears that giant hat. 

Kait Thompson  
Yeah

Ralph Andracchio  
Eat my meat 

Kait Thompson  
And it couldn't fit through the door. So he threw it and it landed on the sign. And history was made. 

Shannon DeVido  
Take off the hat in a very sexy way. 

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, yeah. 

Shannon DeVido  
Came down, yeah. And then we ate his meat. Um, alright, number four, what would be in your sexy dungeon pantry? 

Kait Thompson  
My sexy dungeon pantry? 

Shannon DeVido  
That's what it says

Kait Thompson  
I guess, honey, honey seems like a classic sort of like 

Ralph Andracchio  
That never goes bad. 

Kait Thompson  
Never, it never goes bad. It's gotta be like antimicrobial or something

Shannon DeVido  
Why doesn't it go bad?

Kait Thompson  
Don't want to be giving people infections.

Ralph Andracchio  
I don't, I don't think there's anything 

Kait Thompson  
Sugar content is too high, 

Ralph Andracchio  
yeah, I don't think there's anything in it that goes rancid, like they found honey in like Egyptian tombs, that's still good. 

Aubrie Williams  
Yeah? I think it's self preserving in a way, like a sugar certain... 

Kait Thompson  
Isn't that cool? Food is cool. I just, I appreciate it. I just find no fun in eating it.

Shannon DeVido  
Well, you're not a bee.

Kait Thompson  
If I was a bee, I would love it. It would just be natural to me.

Ralph Andracchio  
All right. Last question this is, this is for all the marbles. Fuck, Marry kill or Yeah, Fuck, Marry kill... beets, cantaloupe or radishes? 

Kait Thompson  
I love all of these things. I'm pretty - I like all of them. I think I would marry beets, because I want them around more frequently than the other ones. Fuck cantaloupe,

Ralph Andracchio  
It is a fuckable fruit.

Kait Thompson  
Occasional. You know, it seems like more of an occasional thing that you like a lot. Put a little tahini on that melon. That's probably something I wouldn't try necessarily, entirely. Oh, I also ate a cricket 

Ralph Andracchio  
stop it 

Kait Thompson  
like a dried cricket that was, like, 

Ralph Andracchio  
just on the street, 

Kait Thompson  
teriyaki style, 

Shannon DeVido  
On purpose?

Kait Thompson  
yeah, when I worked at the I worked at this, like, at this vet for a while, and just a guy there was eating them. And I was like, what do they taste like? He was like, have some. They're basically, they tasted like Fritos. They were very crunchy and dry and didn't have any flavor except for what was added to them. They're supposed to be really good protein. And I don't, like, yeah, I was reading like, for the future. They're kind of like, the future of protein.

Aubrie Williams  
Oh, wow, so good, 

Kait Thompson  
because they require so little water to, like, you know, like beef. You need so much water to raise cows and stuff like that. I'm sorry Shannon, sorry. 

Shannon DeVido  
No, it's okay. I'm gonna be dead before that happens so I'm not that concerned. I think this source of protien is gonna be okay. 

Kait Thompson

Shannon DeVido  
No I'm happy for you and I I'm excited that you might live long enough for this to happen. I just will make sure I'm not, because if that is the future ofmy protein. Things are gonna go south real fast.

Kait Thompson  
I mean, like, you know, it's the same thing where it's like, I'm not running out of buying them, necessarily, but I was like, this tastes good, especially like, when the guy's eating it right in front of your face. I'm not gonna put it in my mouth and say like, ugh you fucking idiot.

Kait Thompson  
Or be like, you know, I didn't want to say, No. I guess that's really the thing is, like, I don't go into be like, I hate it. But I'm glad I did try it.

Aubrie Williams  
You got stock at it, you know? 

Kait Thompson  
Oh, that means I would kill radishes. 

Ralph Andracchio  
You wanna? Yeah?

Kait Thompson  
I like radishes. I like radishes. But they're not essential. They come in in LA, like, if you go to a taco place, they'll be out there, like, the sliced up radishes, like one of the things, like, along with, like, a little section of lime and, like, cilantro and chopped up white onions. And, you know, I like all of that. They're really peppery. They're not like, if they left my life, I wouldn't, yeah, they're like, kind of, they add a lot of nice flavor. I like them, but I have to kill them,
