1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000 Stay with me. 2 00:00:01,820 --> 00:00:04,000 Talk to me. Keep talking to me. 3 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,600 Hey, what's going on, everybody? For First We Feast, I'm Sean Evans, and 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,560 watching Hot Ones. It's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings. 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,260 And today we're joined by Colin Jost. 6 00:00:19,660 --> 00:00:22,800 He's an Emmy Award winning writer and the longest tenured anchor in the 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,240 of Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update. And starting May 11th, he's hosting new 8 00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:29,480 episodes of Pop Culture Jeopardy, which you can watch every weekday on Netflix 9 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,360 through June 5th. Colin Jost, welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you. It's 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,980 great to hear all that information about what I'm doing because I didn't really 11 00:00:35,980 --> 00:00:36,980 know the dates. 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,000 Thank you for knowing. We got you covered over here. 13 00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:44,180 And I should mention that you probably have more overlap with former Hot Ones 14 00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:47,660 guests than anyone we've ever had on the show. Did you receive any advice or 15 00:00:47,660 --> 00:00:51,000 watch any tape in preparation for today? No one wanted to help me. 16 00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:54,240 Scarlett just said maybe take an antacid. 17 00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:55,619 Good advice. 18 00:00:55,620 --> 00:00:59,020 It's probably good advice. I didn't, but I probably could still do it. But I 19 00:00:59,020 --> 00:01:01,320 just wanted to have a pure experience. 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,500 And you really mean it because you requested no milk on the table. No. 21 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,340 you want a glass of hot sauce. 22 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:09,600 Is this tactical? 23 00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:13,500 I wanted to, I think the phrase is fight fire with fire. 24 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,700 Now, I have a lot of family members who are firefighters. 25 00:01:16,980 --> 00:01:18,320 Dave never said that phrase. 26 00:01:19,820 --> 00:01:23,920 But I think I was like, you know what? I'm not going to just go with milk. I'm 27 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,740 going to have a Bremen glass of actual hot sauce, even though it looks like 28 00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:28,740 tomato soup. 29 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,520 And you know what? I'm joining you at the party. Thank you. Cheers. Cheers. 30 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:41,880 everyone here audibly is so grossed out. What a way to start. That's hot wing 31 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:42,880 thought. 32 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,740 I'm probably going to regret that in like two minutes. 33 00:02:06,820 --> 00:02:09,860 I really, by the way, wanted to do, I was going to pitch that you should do an 34 00:02:09,860 --> 00:02:14,460 after show called Talkin' Toilets. Well, we could maybe do a pilot with you 35 00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:17,700 after this. Maybe we do that. I have access to a couple bathrooms nearby. 36 00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:30,320 It's like a little hot pepper that's winking at you, and he's wearing a robe. 37 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,420 It's weird. No one's like, oh, I had a bunch of hot sauce, maybe sex. 38 00:02:34,940 --> 00:02:38,500 Well, there is even to like a little bit of an innuendo in the title, you know, 39 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,100 like they're very on theme over here. 40 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,400 As someone who grew up on Jeopardy, what did you see as the magic of Trebek as a 41 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,680 host? He seemed omniscient. And I think, you know, when you start, when you mess 42 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,420 something up, like if you misread something, you feel like you're shaming. 43 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,200 alex trebek but then the production team was like he would he would occasionally 44 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,360 mess up clues and then he would just he wouldn't even re -record them he'd be 45 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,120 like nah it's fine just keep it so i think you just have the confidence he 46 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,460 the confidence of having done it and it is the alex trebek stage for a reason 47 00:03:08,460 --> 00:03:13,040 like he really he earned it so at first it's kind of like starting at snl like 48 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,640 when i was starting especially week and update your first instinct is oh my god 49 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:21,500 i don't want to destroy this institution and then you get a little past the 50 00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:22,500 existential 51 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,440 angst of it and you try to figure out how you can make it your own a little 52 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:33,360 do you have in your mind like have you been 53 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,940 assembling kind of like your top five to ten sauces of all time and do you have 54 00:03:38,940 --> 00:03:42,860 those in like a row At your house that you're always, like, putting new ones in 55 00:03:42,860 --> 00:03:45,740 that you particularly love? I think about that every once in a while. Like, 56 00:03:45,740 --> 00:03:49,780 the years, there have been definitely sauces that hit in kind of like a 57 00:03:49,780 --> 00:03:54,060 in a Mount Rushmore of hot one sauces. And maybe someday we'll do, like, an all 58 00:03:54,060 --> 00:03:56,300 -star hot sauce lineup on this show. 59 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,040 The wheels are turning through every wing over here with you, Colin. I mean, 60 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,520 come on. I'm already giving you talking toilets. 61 00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:05,560 For a small, small, large fee. 62 00:04:06,620 --> 00:04:10,520 So I've interviewed Pete Davidson twice on this show, despite his severe stomach 63 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,140 issues. And my view of Staten Island has largely been colored by what he's told 64 00:04:15,140 --> 00:04:19,160 me about it. Are there any foundational differences between your Staten Island 65 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,160 and Pete's? 66 00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:21,399 Yes. 67 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:30,640 I mean, he is more like South Shore and I'm more North Shore, which is 68 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,500 like kind of a little bit of a historic difference. 69 00:04:34,270 --> 00:04:37,850 In a way, I feel like no one believes that I'm from Staten Island or they 70 00:04:37,850 --> 00:04:38,850 see it in me. 71 00:04:38,910 --> 00:04:42,630 Like they believe Pete is from Staten Island. Story checks out. And they love 72 00:04:42,630 --> 00:04:46,150 Pete on Staten Island. And I feel like I'm always kind of like, I'm from there 73 00:04:46,150 --> 00:04:47,250 too. I swear. 74 00:04:48,210 --> 00:04:51,910 Do you have a proudest journalistic achievement from your time working at 75 00:04:51,910 --> 00:04:54,050 regional newspaper, the Staten Island Advance? 76 00:04:55,090 --> 00:04:58,090 I have a lot of great memories. And I got to say that people who work there, 77 00:04:58,310 --> 00:05:01,610 like even compared to journalists at... 78 00:05:02,410 --> 00:05:06,730 their most prestigious newspapers now, I feel like they were really good 79 00:05:06,730 --> 00:05:12,010 journalists. And the editors there, the news editors really trained me to be 80 00:05:12,010 --> 00:05:15,090 really on top of facts, double check everything. 81 00:05:15,850 --> 00:05:19,430 And they were really, they were, and they also challenged you. I remember 82 00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:23,530 putting a thing in like an article where I said, you know, there was a welcome 83 00:05:23,530 --> 00:05:24,610 mat on the door. 84 00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:27,060 I was trying to get someone to interview for something. 85 00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:31,740 There had been a shooting, and they weren't responding. And I was like, 86 00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:35,940 was a welcome mat on the door, but I didn't feel very welcome at the house. 87 00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:38,160 And my editor was like, the hell? 88 00:05:39,260 --> 00:05:42,020 My editor was like, you know what else has a welcome mat? Every other door. 89 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,180 He's like, this is not interesting information. I thought I'd come up with 90 00:05:46,180 --> 00:05:47,180 great line. 91 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,180 So they challenge you in good ways. But my favorite article... 92 00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:55,740 that I got to do when I was a reporter at the advance was I worked at late 93 00:05:55,740 --> 00:05:59,940 shifts. I worked 11 p .m. to 8 a .m., and I was there overnight, and there was 94 00:05:59,940 --> 00:06:05,360 car crash that I was sent to report on in Staten Island. And I got there, and 95 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:11,060 everyone was okay in the crash, luckily, but one of the cars had hit a raccoon. 96 00:06:11,540 --> 00:06:17,240 And so the paramedics were already there, so they performed CPR on the 97 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,660 and saved the raccoon's life. Wow. 98 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,120 which was pretty exciting. So I'm writing this article, and then the EMTs 99 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,260 rescued him called me at the newspaper and were like, you can't believe how 100 00:06:28,260 --> 00:06:29,260 messed up it is. 101 00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:33,060 Animal control. We gave him over to animal control, and they euthanized him. 102 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,140 So they had just saved this raccoon's life, and then he was put down. So then 103 00:06:38,140 --> 00:06:40,820 ultimately became front page news. 104 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,060 It's a developing, breaking news. 105 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,520 Yeah, and I had like a byline. 106 00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:52,340 on the front page for my raccoon story, and then it got into, like, what are the 107 00:06:52,340 --> 00:06:55,780 rules? Can you, you know, should you be reporting these raccoons, or are they 108 00:06:55,780 --> 00:06:56,759 going to be all euthanized? 109 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,460 And I really broke open the whole euthanizing community. 110 00:07:00,780 --> 00:07:07,020 And a hot ones brand, so respect. 111 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,440 And delicious, too. And delicious, as well. Which camera do I look into? 112 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,080 So you've been punched in at least four SNL skits to date. What stands out as 113 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,940 your most memorable physical battery on live television? 114 00:07:21,220 --> 00:07:27,740 My favorite getting punched on camera was when Leslie Jones 115 00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:34,740 was punching me and then Lorne in the pre -tape says, get out 116 00:07:34,740 --> 00:07:36,120 of my way, I'll finish him off. 117 00:07:36,730 --> 00:07:40,190 And then Lauren starts punching me. Like, I don't know if Lauren's ever 118 00:07:40,190 --> 00:07:46,250 another cast member on TV. I can't imagine he has. And he's, like, going 119 00:07:46,530 --> 00:07:48,930 And everyone's laughing. 120 00:07:49,590 --> 00:07:50,730 Everyone's having a great time. 121 00:07:50,990 --> 00:07:55,690 And it obviously plays as a joke. And I'm like, it's pretty nuts that my boss 122 00:07:55,690 --> 00:07:58,670 punching me and everyone's just cheering him on. 123 00:07:58,890 --> 00:08:02,430 And I guess that's just where I'm at in my life. That's my place on the show. 124 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,720 What's a 10 to 1 sketch? 125 00:08:04,940 --> 00:08:08,520 And can you give me an example of one that typifies that Jack Handy slot? 126 00:08:08,860 --> 00:08:13,040 I feel like the quintessential kind of 10 to 1. And I remember there was a Jack 127 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,580 Handy one. I forget if it aired or not, where someone is in a wheelchair and 128 00:08:18,580 --> 00:08:21,240 there's wires hooked up to the wheelchair. 129 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,320 And they're in the sketch and they're like, man, if only someday I could fly. 130 00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:30,680 And they keep saying it throughout the sketch, but then they never do. 131 00:08:32,340 --> 00:08:35,900 And the audience can see the wires and you're kind of waiting for something to 132 00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:36,900 happen the whole time. 133 00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:40,960 And it just never does. I think it was a jack candy. And to me, that's like the 134 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,840 perfect thing at the end, because it's not so early that the audience is going 135 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:45,840 to be furious. 136 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,100 Like Lorne often preserved that spot. 137 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,000 Sometimes it can be all or nothing. You sometimes lose one of the funny 138 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000 sketches. 139 00:08:54,020 --> 00:08:55,020 Grabbing. 140 00:08:55,180 --> 00:08:56,180 Just prepping. 141 00:09:01,770 --> 00:09:06,290 I accidentally took like a big step right there because I had kind of a milk 142 00:09:06,290 --> 00:09:10,470 muscle memory and really just gulped that Franks right there. That's where 143 00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:11,470 experience hurts you. 144 00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:12,910 You know what I'm saying? 145 00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:18,930 10 ,000 hours back right there. 146 00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:24,650 Do you think then there's like another 10 ,000 hours where you're really good 147 00:09:24,650 --> 00:09:28,110 it and then like then there's a 10 ,000 hours where you've fallen off? 148 00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:31,910 You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Is it like after the second 10 ,000 where you 149 00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:32,930 start losing it? 150 00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:36,830 Well, you know, you've been doing... Someone answer me! 151 00:09:37,370 --> 00:09:40,730 You've been doing Saturday Night Live for 20 years. You know, I've had this 152 00:09:40,730 --> 00:09:45,170 thing going for 11. Like, we're probably approaching that third act of like 20 153 00:09:45,170 --> 00:09:48,550 ,000, 30 ,000 hours. Yeah, I could get really bad really fast. 154 00:09:49,690 --> 00:09:50,690 Well, keep an eye out. 155 00:09:51,070 --> 00:09:53,450 Thanks. And everyone write in if you see I'm getting bad. 156 00:09:54,910 --> 00:09:55,910 Please. 157 00:09:56,140 --> 00:09:57,440 Smash that subscribe button. 158 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,740 What's the most harrowing experience you had covering the Olympics? 159 00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:07,760 Well, definitely bobsledding. I thought the surfing was harrowing. Surfing, by 160 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:13,200 the way, I was, so I got, I got like my foot scraped up on coral reef in Tahiti. 161 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,240 And I just didn't really do what you would call treating the wound. 162 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,520 And instead I was still continuing to report barefoot in sand and dirt. 163 00:10:21,740 --> 00:10:25,560 Raw dogging it. Raw dogging it. Which is technically not a great medical thing. 164 00:10:27,539 --> 00:10:33,220 And so I was in the tent more than any other Olympic athlete, like the medical 165 00:10:33,220 --> 00:10:39,540 tent. And while I was in the medical tent, a woman who was surfing from 166 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:45,360 Joanne Duret, I think is her name, she hit her head on the reef, got cut, 167 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:51,440 her head, got taken in on a jet ski, sewn up, taken back out on a jet ski, 168 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,040 won the heat while I was there. Just in my toes. 169 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,520 Like, how awesome is that? And then she won the bronze medal. Like, she won the 170 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,680 bronze medal, overcome it, and I was just like, and I barely, I had to go 171 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,820 I see five peppers on here. 172 00:11:14,860 --> 00:11:19,460 I feel like I also, as I get older, I kind of like getting into the joints a 173 00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:20,460 little bit more. 174 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,400 Getting into the gristle. I feel like it captures a little more of the sauce in 175 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,960 it, and I like that it crisps the sauce a little bit. 176 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,620 Connecting to the food a little bit more. It's more of an immersive dining 177 00:11:32,620 --> 00:11:33,620 experience, yeah. 178 00:11:33,740 --> 00:11:35,920 It sounds like kind of the sign of a serial killer. 179 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,380 I like to get into the gristle. I like to get into the joint. 180 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,120 Which was more fun, co -hosting the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards with Michael Che 181 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,040 or tag -teaming WrestleMania together? Do you have a more profound memory of 182 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,040 versus the other? 183 00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:53,170 WrestleMania was one of the best experiences of my life. That was so fun. 184 00:11:53,170 --> 00:11:55,230 the fact that we got to do it together. 185 00:11:57,030 --> 00:11:58,150 It's hitting me a little bit now. 186 00:11:58,770 --> 00:12:01,730 I didn't need to get into that joint as much. Get into the joint. That's what 187 00:12:01,730 --> 00:12:03,690 happens. Well, joint meet in 19. 188 00:12:05,230 --> 00:12:08,610 The Giants had just traded Odell Beckham. Yeah, you were in the Browns 189 00:12:08,850 --> 00:12:13,430 Yeah, to the Browns. And so I came out with a fresh Odell Beckham Browns 190 00:12:13,530 --> 00:12:17,230 And everyone, all the Giants fans were like literally throwing things at me. It 191 00:12:17,230 --> 00:12:18,230 was awesome. 192 00:12:18,650 --> 00:12:19,629 And there were. 193 00:12:19,630 --> 00:12:24,130 There were WWE villains backstage waiting to go on after me, and they saw 194 00:12:24,130 --> 00:12:26,250 that shirt, and they were like, are you really going out in that? 195 00:12:26,690 --> 00:12:31,710 Which is kind of cool. And then I came in second place. You know what I mean? 196 00:12:31,890 --> 00:12:38,050 Not everyone looks back on all the results, but in the full 26 -man 197 00:12:38,370 --> 00:12:41,310 I came in silver medal, which they don't give out. 198 00:12:42,210 --> 00:12:45,570 But Braun Strowman was the only one who could defeat me in battle. 199 00:12:46,110 --> 00:12:49,050 It was also the most, like, after that where I was walking down the street and 200 00:12:49,050 --> 00:12:51,910 just, like, any hot dog vendor was like, hey, Colin! 201 00:12:52,210 --> 00:12:55,010 Like, that was the first time they'd ever seen me do anything. 202 00:12:59,930 --> 00:13:01,970 So now we're going to the bad ones. 203 00:13:06,830 --> 00:13:12,030 Do you still remember your actual hottest one? 204 00:13:12,850 --> 00:13:16,450 The hottest that ever hit you? Yeah, and you know what? It actually has remained 205 00:13:16,450 --> 00:13:19,550 on the show. We're so lucky. Here we go. It's remained on the show. 206 00:13:19,830 --> 00:13:23,190 Oh, I didn't know if you would just change it out, new one. We always do. So 207 00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:26,990 do that like three times a year, except for this one sauce that always hits 208 00:13:26,990 --> 00:13:32,030 here, Da Bomb. That is, I've never had a sauce like that in my life. Yeah. And I 209 00:13:32,030 --> 00:13:33,030 practice. 210 00:13:33,170 --> 00:13:37,970 I mean, Scarlett brought it home after she did hot ones with you, and just 211 00:13:37,970 --> 00:13:40,630 smelling it clears out your whole nervous system. It's enough to make you 212 00:13:40,630 --> 00:13:41,630 of evil. Yeah. 213 00:13:42,090 --> 00:13:45,990 I don't know what it is, like the vinegar or something in it also. It's 214 00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:46,990 like, oh. 215 00:13:47,370 --> 00:13:51,630 Which TV or film idea from before you worked at Saturday Night Live do you 216 00:13:51,630 --> 00:13:54,070 had the most potential if someone gave it a shot? 217 00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:56,890 Like, do you think Admissions Impossible has legs? 218 00:13:57,150 --> 00:14:01,390 I think that could be good. Yeah, good research. 219 00:14:02,370 --> 00:14:07,310 Simon Rich and I, when we were in college, we had the idea of Admissions 220 00:14:07,310 --> 00:14:08,310 Impossible. 221 00:14:08,540 --> 00:14:13,440 where we pretended to be from a university like Harvard or whatever and 222 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,000 aspiring students to do their interviews. 223 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,060 Kind of messing with them, knowing they would probably say anything to get to 224 00:14:21,060 --> 00:14:22,120 try to get into the school. 225 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,060 It's a really rough time to exploit a kid. 226 00:14:27,060 --> 00:14:31,180 But I bet you get some really good. I mean, it would destroy their life. 227 00:14:32,620 --> 00:14:35,800 You'd have them say some horrible thing and then you'd be like, oh, no. But at 228 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,960 the time we were almost that age. So we were like, oh, we don't care. We'll 229 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:39,960 destroy everyone. 230 00:14:44,959 --> 00:14:46,920 Oh, look, a dragon with breathing fire. 231 00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:53,860 When you're doing a mix of wings, it's always nice to have one that has a 232 00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:56,620 bit of that candied texture to it, just for variety. 233 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,980 We think about everything over here. 234 00:14:59,260 --> 00:15:03,180 Whenever you're eating ten wings of different kind. 235 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,260 How would you describe the Harvard Lampoon for someone who's never heard of 236 00:15:11,069 --> 00:15:13,010 Crying a little. Oh, yeah, it touched my eye. Yeah, be careful. 237 00:15:13,230 --> 00:15:14,630 That's a good idea. Yeah, yeah, no, no, I know. I'm a pro. 238 00:15:16,610 --> 00:15:17,610 I'm a pro. 239 00:15:21,150 --> 00:15:24,810 Still getting an audible groan from everyone watching this. 240 00:15:25,950 --> 00:15:27,410 Ooh, that didn't help. It doesn't help. 241 00:15:28,130 --> 00:15:31,310 Not a fire. I don't know if fighting fire with fire works. Maybe never. 242 00:15:31,610 --> 00:15:32,950 To be honest. I don't know. 243 00:15:33,570 --> 00:15:34,910 Yeah, how did that become popular? 244 00:15:35,790 --> 00:15:37,250 I don't know. We've got to look that up. 245 00:15:38,380 --> 00:15:42,900 The funniest, nerdiest person in your school, right, like writer, if you got 246 00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:48,440 of those together when they all went to college. So they also gained confidence 247 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:55,220 from that, and they also enjoyed partying together as nerds. You know 248 00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:57,600 mean? Like where you feel like a nerd liberation. 249 00:15:57,940 --> 00:15:59,740 I would say nerd liberation. Nerd liberation. 250 00:16:00,380 --> 00:16:03,100 Do you have a favorite architectural feature of the castle? 251 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,440 Trying to sweat it out of me? 252 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,400 What I love about the general building is, that it was designed by this 253 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,200 incredible architect, Edmund March Wheelwright, who was in The Lampoon, and 254 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,240 became the city architect for all of Boston. He was a very accomplished 255 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,760 architect. And this was the last building he designed before he was 256 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,660 a mental hospital down the road. 257 00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:28,640 So it really was his last sort of through everything out there before they 258 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,480 wheeled him away. It kind of looks like that. It does kind of look like that, 259 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,880 yeah. An architect descending into madness a little bit. Yeah, I think so. 260 00:16:35,310 --> 00:16:38,470 I don't know, kind of an iconic thing about it that it's still cool is the 261 00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:39,870 pipes that heat the building. 262 00:16:40,090 --> 00:16:44,510 They release steam on the sides of sort of the face of the building. So it looks 263 00:16:44,510 --> 00:16:49,050 like it's blowing steam out of its ears, which is just, you know, that's kind of 264 00:16:49,050 --> 00:16:51,270 a cool feature to put in there. 265 00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:56,410 And I think he also designed it where it basically like steals steam from the 266 00:16:56,410 --> 00:17:00,810 university, which is just an added little nice. Crazy like a fox, you know. 267 00:17:00,810 --> 00:17:01,810 know what? 268 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,440 And also just regular crazy. 269 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,940 You didn't need to add beyond insanity. 270 00:17:19,740 --> 00:17:24,920 This is a little bit like a showdown. Not intentional, but it's a showdown 271 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,400 because you're both checking in on each other like, how are you doing? Yeah, I 272 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,940 agree with you. It looks like we're staring each other like... 273 00:17:31,420 --> 00:17:32,420 Take that. 274 00:17:32,740 --> 00:17:35,000 How do you like that? But in actuality, we're just like, are you okay? 275 00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:36,660 Are you okay? That's exactly, yeah. 276 00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:40,300 It's an empathetic energy that I'm trying to give off right now. 277 00:17:41,380 --> 00:17:42,380 It hits. 278 00:17:43,020 --> 00:17:47,420 Yeah, and this is the real first time in the show I went to go reach for the 279 00:17:47,420 --> 00:17:51,440 milk and realize there is no way. You're on an island. Oh, my God. 280 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:56,800 Now, do you think? Oh, God. 281 00:17:57,580 --> 00:17:59,820 I was going to say, do you think at this point? 282 00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:03,820 This is helpful, but no. No, turns out it's not. 283 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:10,600 That's where I thought maybe late in the game, late in the game, I'd be like, 284 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,080 oh, that's now mellow. 285 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,560 No, not at all. Adding to it. 286 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,880 Again, it's like playing a larger fire with a smaller fire. 287 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,860 It's just creating a bigger fire. 288 00:18:21,229 --> 00:18:25,750 If you were locked in a Margaritaville restaurant for a full day, what would 289 00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:28,310 order for breakfast, what would you order for lunch, and what would you 290 00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:31,470 for dinner? Can you give us a veteran's guide to conquering the ville? 291 00:18:31,950 --> 00:18:38,750 Yeah, there's sort of omelet ones that I would do. I feel like there's a eggs 292 00:18:38,750 --> 00:18:44,570 over Margaritaville vibe, where it truly is like an omelet, but they'll also 293 00:18:44,570 --> 00:18:46,450 pour a little margarita onto it. 294 00:18:47,250 --> 00:18:49,110 It'll come with a little... 295 00:18:49,670 --> 00:18:52,110 A Coronito, like a little one of those beers. 296 00:18:52,350 --> 00:18:55,970 A little kind of Andre Chaser, yeah. Yeah. They'll be like, it's breakfast, 297 00:18:55,970 --> 00:18:58,230 you got this little beer, so it's Margaritaville. 298 00:18:59,990 --> 00:19:04,370 How much does it look like it hurts? 299 00:19:04,950 --> 00:19:06,570 You know what? You're a stoic man. 300 00:19:06,790 --> 00:19:09,870 Okay. All right? And I think that that's being stress tested right now, but not 301 00:19:09,870 --> 00:19:11,890 broken. The seams are not busting. 302 00:19:12,540 --> 00:19:16,500 You still have that. I mean, I feel like it's eyes first for us. 303 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,860 There's an intensity in the stare. 304 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,980 And that's, I think, where the heat, the spice of this gauntlet is living right 305 00:19:22,980 --> 00:19:27,940 now. But we're keeping it right there. It's sort of the same stare that an EMT 306 00:19:27,940 --> 00:19:30,400 has with someone on a journey where they're like, stay with me. 307 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,980 Just stay with me. Talk to me. I don't see anything else in this room but you. 308 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,000 No, no. 309 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,940 And I barely see you. It's all blurry. 310 00:19:38,180 --> 00:19:42,640 What makes spicy seafood linguine the proper litmus test for an Italian 311 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,840 restaurant? Like, why is that a barometer for overall quality? 312 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,240 Great question. I feel like there was a question before this that I didn't 313 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,700 totally answer, but that's okay. 314 00:19:52,740 --> 00:19:58,200 It's my favorite dish, if it's done well, is a fra diablo, like seafood, 315 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:04,080 linguine, especially like a shrimp. But ideally, I think you get, I want to see 316 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,080 how they do spice. 317 00:20:05,530 --> 00:20:09,590 You know, I want to see how they do, like, you get a sense of how they'll 318 00:20:09,590 --> 00:20:14,590 their pasta. Is it a good al dente? You'll get a plethora of a harvest of 319 00:20:14,590 --> 00:20:15,590 seafood. 320 00:20:16,290 --> 00:20:18,890 And you just, you know, I feel like you get a vibe of everything. And I think 321 00:20:18,890 --> 00:20:23,230 the presentation tells you how invested in this dish they are. 322 00:20:23,650 --> 00:20:26,630 And you can get, you know, very disappointing versions of it. But when 323 00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:28,610 good version, you're like, I will come back here. 324 00:20:29,430 --> 00:20:31,630 You never have to blow your nose at all, huh? 325 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:34,800 It's not a competition. 326 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,040 I know. 327 00:20:36,180 --> 00:20:41,540 I think that is my spice reaction. Even like a milder spice, I do have. But not 328 00:20:41,540 --> 00:20:42,499 really for you, huh? 329 00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:46,060 No, I guess. I haven't really noticed that, but no, you're right. I don't 330 00:20:46,060 --> 00:20:47,640 I get that loose. 331 00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:49,980 I don't think I get that loose in the sinuses. 332 00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:51,640 You got a tight sinus, huh? 333 00:20:52,340 --> 00:20:53,860 Wow. That's what Shishito said. 334 00:20:59,870 --> 00:21:03,330 It's got to come out somewhere. Your feet? I don't know. Your shoes are 335 00:21:03,330 --> 00:21:04,330 wet right now. 336 00:21:10,210 --> 00:21:15,970 Now, not fun, this one, but I find that after Dabama kind of, like, scorches the 337 00:21:15,970 --> 00:21:20,010 earth in a way that makes... This also has got some, like, chunky flakes on it. 338 00:21:20,390 --> 00:21:21,510 We should also... 339 00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:26,270 Keep in mind that we've eaten now nine wings and done quite a few hot sauce 340 00:21:26,270 --> 00:21:29,910 chasers behind it, you know? Yeah, so just on a volume level. 341 00:21:30,410 --> 00:21:33,150 We've definitely confused our body.
