So we're holding it down with the stories.
00:31
So hopefully we'll let you down,
00:34

00:41
I'm just saying,,
00:43
but yeah, we have a bunch of fun,
00:44
well, not all fun stories,
00:45
but the first one's kind of sad.
00:46
The first one, yeah,
00:48
it's not, it's not.
00:49
Alright, well, we,
00:50
we were texting each other,
00:51
bro. We were up at 3 in the morning.
00:53
This is crazy. This new,
00:55
this news broke at 3 a.m. and I answered right away in
00:57
the chat. I was like,
00:58
Yo, what,,
01:00
yeah, go ahead.
01:01
I don't wanna take it away,
01:02
so,, yeah man,
01:03
Pope Francis died. On Monday at age 88 at around 7:35
01:08
that was what,
01:08
like 5 a.m. for us.
01:11
No, it was 3,
01:11
it was 3 a.m. when it happened when they announced and we
01:14
were when I was out public,
01:15
yep, the Vatican announced his death.
01:18
he, he was recently dealing with,
01:20
double Pomonia and his last appearance was on wait,
01:24
wait, wait, wait,
01:25
did you say Pomonia.
01:30
Pneumonia, bro. Oh my God,
01:35
Jenny, where are you?
01:39
Oh, she got pneumonia.
01:40
Careful, bro, be silent.
01:44
Oh, Popeumonia. Oh my,
01:45
but anyways, no laughing matter.
01:46
Go ahead. Oh man,
01:48
but all right, so you got pneumonia and yeah,
01:51
he was in the hospital for a minute,
01:52
bro. I remember like,
01:53
you remember they kept like it was like one week he was
01:56
up and he was getting better and then back so.
01:59
And they'd be like pictures kind of like,
02:00
oh he was spotted and then like,
02:01
oh he kinda like went in the shadows again and yeah but
02:07
yeah dude. You're watching it live while we're watching live.
02:10
I had to tap it,
02:11
but,, yo,
02:13
the other thing going around right now is,
02:16
you saw JD Vance was like the last person he
02:19
spoke to, right?
02:20
Yeah, I saw that.
02:21
I don't know. I don't know about that,
02:23
man. Well, he called him out,
02:24
right? Like he,
02:25
like, yeah, he called out.
02:26
I think he, he,
02:26
he called out on the last match.
02:28
He had some words and,
02:29
and everything, but,
02:31
he, that was the last handshake kinda.
02:34
Damn, damn JD's that's crazy.
02:37
That's a crazy like thing to be known for,
02:39
you know, like,
02:40
yeah, I was the last person to shake the pope's hand
02:42
and he just, you know,
02:44
kind of said goodbye after it.
02:46
I'm not shaking his hand.
02:48
No, yeah, dude,
02:50
I don't know, but that's,
02:51
so that's why all the the memes and stuff are going around
02:54
because JD was the last guy in there.
02:57
That's crazy. But like,
02:59
what happens next, because I know they do like the,
03:00
the fire, the little,
03:01
the chimney thing, right?
03:03
Yeah, they get the,
03:03
what is it, the little smoke?
03:04
Is it black if they don't choose and white if they have
03:07
one picked? I don't know.
03:08
Let me see, actually I,
03:10
I did a Google search here,
03:12
little, little hookah smoke in the air,
03:14
you know. Yeah,
03:16
so I guess it's 90 in the morning before the next election
03:18
and then the voting begins and there's about like 100+ candidates
03:23
And yeah, so the paper ballots are burned and when
03:24
it's,, black smoke,
03:26
that means they still haven't made a decision.
03:27
Why means a new pope has been selected.
03:30
How many popes have we been through already?
03:32
This is like a 3rd 1,
03:32
right? John Paul,
03:34
John Paul, obviously John Paul the 2nd,
03:36
is that Papa Juan Pablo?
03:37
I, I think so.
03:39
That was like my grandma's favorite.
03:40
I told you she had the calendar.
03:43
With all the popes,
03:44
really, yeah, that,
03:45
that was her favorite one and like every month,
03:47
the like the ones they give in the Kny city,
03:48
yeah,, this,
03:51
this was John Paul was a Benedict wasn't Benedict kind of like
03:55
already a little older though?
03:56
Yeah felt like he,
03:56
he, he became Pope and then he passed away right away
04:01
Let's see what are the chat thing though?
04:03
Cardinal Robert Serra is the only correct choice.
04:06
Oh, so they already have like a roster out of people
04:08
that are popes, potential popes out there,
04:11
I guess. So yeah,
04:13
someone name dropped you think they do like interviews.
04:17
Well, like, like you come in and it's just like
04:19
ah, so like why should we pick you as Pope
04:22
It's like why do you need a job kind of yeah
04:24
like what have you done?
04:25
If you had, if you could describe yourself as one animal
04:27
what would it be?
04:28
I'm the Pope. Oh man,
04:30
how's that? How do you wait,
04:32
wait, wait. Some said he quit.
04:33
So who quit the,
04:34
the one before? Yeah,
04:37
it was, it was the,
04:38
what was his name?
04:39
Benedict, no. Wait,
04:41
could have been record.
04:42
I don't know. I guess the last one he stepped down
04:45
Drewski would go crazy as a Pope interviews equals conclave,
04:49
man, I haven't been to church in a minute,
04:50
so I'm kind of lost on what's going on,
04:52
bro. But,,
04:53
you know what, I wanna plug our editorial team.
04:55
We are Me Too.com.
04:56
You can find this article there cause they did a story
04:59
on like, you know,
05:00
the fascinating things you might not know about the Pope because apparently
05:03
I mean, we just know about the pope.
05:05
But homeboy, sorry,
05:06
papa, respectfully, you know,
05:08
like homeboy, sorry,
05:10
sorry, sorry,,
05:11
but he was like he had all this like dope stuff he
05:15
was doing like he was a trained chemist before becoming a priest
05:18
right? He like,
05:21
he had a girlfriend and loved to tango.
05:23
He was a bouncer at a nightclub.
05:25
He lived life. He was a literature teacher,
05:27
psychology teacher. He loved pizza.
05:31
I, I saw one too like he didn't watch TV
05:33
since like the 90s,
05:34
bro. 35 years went to therapy at 42,
05:38
so my man had a whole life before he got the call
05:42
and was like, you know what,
05:43
I'm doing this now.
05:44
He took strong positions on climate and capitalism.
05:47
He shifted the church stone on LGBTQ plus issues.
05:50
Again, Homer was progressive,
05:52
so hopefully the next papay is also,
05:53
you know, on that same wavelength.
05:55
You think the next papa will speak Spanish?
05:57
Oh, I think so,
05:59
right? They don't they all usually speak Spanish,
06:04
Italian they usually could speak a couple languages because he's,
06:06
it said here for him,
06:07
it was,
06:08
specifically fluent in Spanish and Italian,
06:11
and he, but he struggled with English,
06:12
but a little bit again.
06:13
oh, French, Latin,
06:14
German. Dang again,
06:17
so homeboy, I'm seeing some of the,
06:20
the options that are like.
06:23
There might be, I don't see no Spanish names,
06:24
bro. Oh wait,
06:26
nope. Oh man,
06:28
I'm sorry. Someone called me Leo,
06:30
but filled life only to be referred to as homeboy.
06:33
I'm sorry. I mean,
06:35
cause he was like if I saw him like yo papa.
06:38
Yeah, I did first communion and confirmation and all that
06:42
other stuff, so I think I'm good.
06:44
I get a pass,
06:46
wait, so how,
06:48
yeah, cause I,
06:50
I don't know, but I don't wanna talk about religion and
06:52
get into that whole thing cause I don't wanna.
06:56
I, I'm kind of done with it.
06:57
Like I, I did the whole thing.
06:59
I think my whole life and I was like yeah,
07:01
I remember when. Alright,
07:03
no offense, but I was,
07:04
I was in high school when the other pope passed.
07:07
We did get like 3 days off.
07:10
Oh yeah, yeah,
07:11
that shit was like a 3 day weekend real quick,
07:13
and I was like,
07:13
oh my God, rest in peace,
07:15
but you know I was home.
07:16
Oh, he's like the chief.
07:17
Chief, that's what I'm saying.
07:18
I was like CEO of the captain of,
07:21
like, you know,
07:22
the church, he writes the whole freaking,
07:24
what's that shit,
07:24
the lesson plans and stuff.
07:25
They gave us like 3,
07:26
it was like 3 days off to pray and mourn
07:30
and then we had like a couple of assemblies,
07:32
you know,.
07:33
behalf, but you know it was,
07:36
so like you know we paid nice tribute to the
07:38
last boat. That's what's up.
07:40
That's what's up. All right,
07:41
well rest in peace,
07:42
papa, and I guess we'll see when the smoke changes
07:45
in a few days,
07:46
what's gonna happen with that,
07:47
and we'll report on it because I'm sure.
07:49
again, there's a lot of it happens at night
07:52
because it can happen at any time.
07:54
We gotta message each other.
07:55
We gotta message each other.
07:56
Yeah, we on Pope watch.
07:57
Oh man. I'm telling you,
07:58
the message came in at 3 a.m. and he put it.
08:01
What time did I text you?
08:02
He put it in the chat and I reacted to it right
08:04
away. I was like,
08:04
Yeah, I know,
08:05
bro, damn, RIP 3:36 a.m.,
08:08
3:36. I was active.
08:10
I locked in. It was like I felt something was gonna
08:13
happen. Yeah, you,
08:15
you follow the turbs in the forest.
08:17
Alright, but Papa Rafa says he goes to other people,
08:19
and now we're drafting a new pope.
08:21
Yeah, we'll see what happens again.
08:22
it's 9 days of mourning and then they start the
08:24
whole process of, you know,
08:26
their interviews and stuff.
08:27
But any shifting gears,
08:30
we're just,
08:30
just a lot of recaps today.
08:31
So we're gonna talk about sports because a lot of stuff went
08:33
down this weekend. We had WrestleMania,
08:36
let's start off WrestleMania.
08:37
So WrestleMania was this weekend,
08:38
right? Saturday, Sunday,
08:40
Saturday, Sunday it was 2 days.
08:42
I was fortunate enough to watch it yesterday,
08:44
which was the main.
08:46
Man, you feel me.
08:47
Wait, so Saturday doesn't count.
08:49
No, there's, there's other matches,
08:51
but Sunday for me,
08:52
I was, I cared more about Sunday.
08:55
You feel me. John Cena broke the record for the most
08:58
most championships, broke,
09:00
broke the record, boom.
09:03
I don't know how,
09:03
I don't know what Travis Scott's doing in the ring,
09:05
but yeah, he jumped in there,
09:06
he got a couple,
09:07
couple of slaps in there,
09:11
But yeah,
09:11
overall it was good.
09:13
I enjoyed it, you feel me.
09:14
Got the fellas together,
09:16
you know, I,
09:17
I, I always love to see wrest,
09:18
you know, some wrestling action,
09:20
you feel me. It might be a dumb question,
09:22
but is it still pay per view or is it free on
09:24
Peacock or we're not,
09:25
you still, you have to pay through the app like,
09:27
the WWE shit,
09:29
so yeah, Peacock in the US,
09:31
Netflix worldwide. Oh wow.
09:36
Yeah we have in the US.
09:37
We have to pay extra?
09:39
Oh, I have peacock,
09:41
but I feel like they scamming because they gave me the ads
09:43
one even though it's premium.
09:44
Anyways,, so there's that,
09:47
but I remember there was just one day.
09:49
Now it's 2 days and they're milking it,
09:51
but there's so many ads,
09:52
bro. You can't crunch it all into one day.
09:56
But well, it's cool.
09:57
I don't know if you heard it.
09:57
This is what I heard before even WrestleMania went down,
10:00
but WWE acquired AAA.
10:03
I was in the code switch a little bit.
10:05
AAA. So,,
10:07
it's like the WWE like of Mexico.
10:11
Yeah, they need that.
10:12
Hopefully they don't switch it up too much.
10:13
Well, I think I,
10:14
I, I, I didn't do much research,
10:16
but I'm assuming, you know,
10:17
hey, WDS Lana and AAA might be struggling like yo,
10:22
someone buy us out.
10:23
And so now they got all that funding and it's cool because
10:26
obviously people are like,
10:27
oh, there's gonna be a crossover and actually supposedly there was
10:30
gonna be a June.
10:32
Like event with the crossover.
10:34
So apparently I mean well they're already both established.
10:39
It's not like anything brand new,
10:40
I guess, you know,
10:41
but it's cool because people like,
10:43
I mean when I told you about people you're like,
10:44
yo, what is that?
10:45
I'm like, you know,
10:45
so it's like again,
10:46
the imagine the NBA player comes from Europe,
10:49
right? Oh I put in.
10:50
I'm playing in the NBA now,
10:51
like the G League or like the Euroleague.
10:53
Oh yeah, yeah,
10:53
I mean it's not like less than,
10:55
but I feel like it's,
10:56
you know, pretty even and it's cool because like we got
10:59
some superstars out here that used to be into that like Ray
11:02
Mysterio, you know,
11:03
Eddie Guerrero, like they're going straight to the source now.
11:07
Yeah, it's like the farm system in a way,
11:09
right? Like now we,
11:10
we can't wait for you to be in your mid-20s.
11:12
We want you when you're 18,
11:13
you feel me, doing exactly that's dope,
11:17
man, like. If you could get,
11:19
if we could get the next Eddie or the next Ray,
11:21
you know, ahead of time to catch him young,
11:23
I'm all for it.
11:25
Hopefully I, I,
11:26
I saw some videos on the 3 la,
11:27
yo, those, those matches are crazy,
11:29
bro. Well, that's the thing.
11:30
What's the little guy though.
11:31
Well, yeah, the,
11:33
I don't know. I saw because I saw some memes I
11:35
see reactions and they're like,
11:36
Yo, imagine,,
11:37
it's like a little monkey guy like he's in a little monkey
11:40
suit. I saw the video.
11:41
It's true. You ever seen that?
11:42
And like imagine John Cena badly him.
11:44
Anybody is lit. You can't make it up.
11:47
You can get thrown around and be lit,
11:48
you know, Mexican and just like Latin American TV is just
11:51
entertainment is just, you know,
11:53
but,, so that's one thing and then I'll do
11:56
this one because it's a daughter's thing,
11:57
but Ohtani is a poppy,
11:59
bro. You're gonna have that poppy strength now.
12:03
Like, so he had a baby girl,
12:04
well, his, his wife did,
12:06
right? But she had a,
12:07
they had a baby girl.
12:07
He went on, but the funny thing is he went on
12:10
daddy leave on Friday.
12:14
Saturday daughters play they lost and he was back Sunday.
12:16
He spent the night.
12:17
She was like, I can't deal with the cry.
12:18
I gotta go back to work.
12:19
Maybe the cry or maybe he's like,
12:21
Yo, man, I can't leave you guys alone for one
12:22
day and y'all get a freaking out.
12:24
I'm, I'm back.
12:25

13:00
I'm pretty sure he was there,
13:01

13:03
I thought him and Trump don't get along like that.
13:05
But, yeah,
13:06

13:08

13:43
but like. He was on the Angels for so long
13:48
the first and the first year,
13:50
first year he left hardware.
13:53
It's like I can see that Luco was stuck in his franchise
13:57
that, yeah, they didn't really wanna compete like that,
13:59
so. But yeah,
14:01
you got the Lp yeah I need them I need them.
14:04
I need them to win,
14:05
bro. So what is a game,
14:07

14:10
They didn't drop it.
14:11
They got beat like red and wait what.
14:15
Red and Freddie. Oh,
14:16

14:17
Oh, sorry, movie.
14:17
I'm like, wait,
14:19
oh man, Clipper,
14:20
it says Clipper Cross is a Clipper fan.
14:22
Are the Clippers even in the playoffs?
14:24
No. Does anybody know?
14:25
Clipper Carlos, let me know.
14:27
but like,
14:28
so with the Lakers,
14:29
yeah, bro, they got spanked and I felt bad because
14:32
my homeboy wanted us to go to his house.
14:33
Hey bro, let's watch the game,
14:34
and I'm like, it's my first weekend.
14:37
I was like, we have chores to do with stuff,
14:38
and I was like,
14:38
I'm good. And then they got a they lost like that
14:41
I like damn.
14:42
I feel like the NBA,
14:43
like the playoffs doesn't get interesting until like mid June.
14:47
Like these are like the whatever mid June,
14:49
bro, the season ends like no,
14:50
no, wait, wait,
14:51
wait, no, not mid June whenever it is,
14:53
whenever the, the semifinals come around,
14:56
it's, yeah, like,
14:57
like like May like,
14:58
yeah, like May,
14:59
April, like late April,
15:01
yeah,, oh,
15:02
Clippers are playing the Nuggets.
15:04
Oh, the Nuggets.
15:06
Oh, that's a,
15:07
that's the Joker. Oh yeah,
15:09
y'all losing. Yo,
15:11
Clip Ricardo's my bad.
15:12
Y'all gotta deal with that.
15:14
Y'all got like 2 games maybe I could take from them.
15:17
But,, you know what though,
15:18
there's still like hope for the Lakers because that Corgi that like
15:23
you know, I've seen the little like trash cans that
15:24
have like the logos on them,
15:26
yeah, so they,
15:27
they lost the first one like when he does a little like
15:29
beep beep beep, and he makes it in,
15:31
but the Lakers won in 6 games.
15:34
And Corgi, I trust,
15:35
brother. I trust.
15:38
I, yeah, lucky I can't gamble out here,
15:39
man. No DraftKings.
15:41
We can go to I would have been going crazy.
15:43
We can go to Vegas,
15:44
not that far, 34 hours from here.
15:47
Get them dressed, get them prize picks and guys.
15:50
Are you putting money on the Lakers or what?
15:52
For sure. Oh man,
15:54
but, yeah,
15:56
I mean if we can,
15:57
we can wrap it up,
15:58
bro, because someone said something about,
16:01
let's see, any comments?
16:04
No one say wait we love me too.
16:06
Jay, thank you too,
16:07
brother., let's see.
16:09
Lakers coming back. That was my own comment.
16:12
The crossover, so the crossover apparently for the rest of many
16:14
things is at the Kia Forum,
16:15
so that's pretty dope.
16:17
I built you guys a Me Too care package.
16:20
Oh wait, you bet at the,
16:22
we'll talk more, but Clipper Cars wants to put something on
16:25
the line for the,
16:26
I guess maybe the Clippers and the Nuggets.
16:29
Or Clippers, yeah,
16:31
all right, Clipper Carlos,
16:32
we'll,, we'll draft up some terms and conditions and
16:34
we'll get those over to you,
16:35

So there's a legend about a mysterious valley tucked off old mountain
18:23
roads way past where GPS cuts out.
18:28
Called Glore Valley. Have you heard of it?
18:31
No. Legend has it if you enter after dark you'll become
18:36
trapped in an endless loop,
18:39
forced to live the same nightmare over and over.
18:45
Unless you survive until dawn.
18:48
Over and over and just a few days ago 5 friends Clover

19:51

19:57

19:59

20:05
And. It We have to Up the road,
20:20
that's why people get into trouble.
20:29
Hello and welcome. I'm super excited today.
20:32
Today we have a really great friend of mine.
20:33
We've worked together in the past,
20:34
Alfredo Garcia.,
20:37
thank you so much first and foremost for all those that don't
20:40
already follow him. Tell us how you like your background my
20:43
background. So obviously I was always into food.
20:47
growing up,
20:47
I would watch Food Network,
20:49
Rachael Ray, 30 Minute Meals,
20:52
so I was always into food.
20:53
My mom was a stay at home mom,
20:55
so she always cooked for us after school.
20:57
In college, I got more into cooking with my first apartment
21:00
and everything. But I always wanted to do it full time
21:03
and with TikTok and everything,
21:05
I made it happen and I saw in your book and.
21:09
If you guys get a chance,
21:10
look at the intro.
21:11
It's amazing. It's a beautiful photo of you and your mom
21:14
right in the kitchen.
21:15
What's your, I would say like your song,
21:17
like what's your kind of vibe of what this book is about
21:20
and what you want people to get out of it?
21:21
I think the vibe of the cookbook,
21:23
it's like, obviously my parents are Mexican growing up my mom
21:27
would only make us Mexican food,
21:29
so I grew up knowing Mexican food,
21:31
but as I got older and watching Food Network and YouTube and
21:34
TikTok and all of this.
21:36
I learned more about like American food in general,
21:39
so it's like 50 traditional Mexican recipes,
21:42
50 not so traditional like Mexican American flavors,
21:47
and that's kind of what we're doing here with today's recipe.
21:50
So speaking of like what are we making today?
21:53
Yeah, so we're doing an Elote potato salad.
21:55
It's like the perfect recipe for carne asada.
21:58
To start, we need some potatoes.
22:00
We start with the small ones and then I'm gonna add some
22:03
salt to the water where we're gonna boil them.
22:13
Now we're gonna do the corn.
22:16
So that's on. We're gonna put a little bit of oil
22:17
in here. Today we're using canned corn,
22:22
but in the book I use the whole corn on the cob
22:24
and I give you instructions to grill the corn to like
22:29
get the charred marks on it.
22:31
We're gonna get into a little bit of like kind of the
22:34
blow up moment with you know Cardi B.
22:36
A can of jalapeno,
22:38
14 ounces. This one got 11 ounces,
22:40
so like a bunch of cilantro,
22:43
put that whole in there.
22:44
Oh shit. Look how beautiful that looks.
22:49
Mm mhm. Maybe you wanna slap your mama but not yours
22:55
I was at game night with my cousins and I was
22:57
my phone was blowing up.
22:58
It was like all these Cardi B fan accounts like tagging me
23:01
I had no idea what was happening until one of my
23:03
DSs texted me, they're like Cardi B tagged you in her
23:06
video like making your recipe.
23:07
Ever since then it's been known as the Cardi dip and like
23:11
everyone makes it all the time.
23:12
No, no, no,
23:13
no, if you hear it here first,
23:15
a key, like it's the Fred's,
23:18
it's the Fredster's dip.
23:20
So Cardi B, you don't claim it,
23:22
you know, but you can cook it together if you want
23:24
there you go,
23:25
like, right, like let's,
23:26
let's give this man a do.
23:27
We can start making the sauce,
23:29
so we can do the mayo and the sour cream,
23:31
all right, so here's mayo you give.
23:34
Measurements in the beginning of the book you said look,
23:38
I want this to be fun.
23:40
I want this to be engaging you like food to taste a
23:43
certain way so it's more so like I'm a guy.
23:46
Yeah, because we all have our preferences like I love mayo
23:49
like I'm obsessed with mayo,
23:50
so like there's more mayo in the sauce dressing than there is
23:55
sour cream, but like.
23:56
If you like sour cream more than mayo,
23:58
like, double up on the sour cream and like useless mayo
24:02
If you don't like mayo,
24:03
fully leave it out,
24:05
just use sour cream.
24:06
You could probably, I've never tried it.
24:08
I'm sure you could use Greek yogurt.
24:09
So what are we building now?
24:10
Is it spices? Yeah,
24:12
pretty much the spices,
24:13
jalapeno, the garlic powder,
24:16
onion powder, and some black pepper.
24:17
OK. I don't,
24:19
yeah, we got it.
24:20
Oh, I did.
24:22
We also have the queso cotija crumble it in there and we'll
24:25
mix it all up.
24:26
I love cotija cheese,
24:28
so like, but you're a salty guy.
24:29
I, I'm a salty guy,
24:30
so it has a little bit more like that.
24:33
I love salty food.
24:34
We have cilantro. Do you want me to chop some up
24:35
for you? Yeah,
24:36
so we need some cilantro,
24:37
just like a rough rough chop.
24:40
The next is Lemon.
24:46
So now that we have all of this in here,
24:47
we can also add in the corn,
24:49
all right, and then we just mix it together.
24:53
I'm gonna do some quickfire real quick right while you're doing that
24:56
and you're mixing everything together,
24:58
right. You remember your book pretty well?
25:02
I hope so. Are you good with pop culture?
25:04
Yeah, OK, I'd like to.
25:05
OK, so who's your favorite artist?
25:07
Favorite art like music or oh,
25:11
Coldplay? OK, I'm gonna give you three artists,
25:13
OK, and you have to tell me what recipe in your
25:17
book they are. Right,
25:20
OK. Becky G.
25:24
I feel like I would do the the rib eye a chile
25:27
There you go,
25:28
yeah, that's the one for her.
25:29
Like, knock knock,
25:30
he's calling, yeah,
25:31
peso pluma luma. Probably one of the wing recipes.
25:36
I could see that,
25:36
yeah, I could see him like getting down on some wings
25:41
Let's see, that's a good one.
25:42
Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga.
25:45
What's like the most out there recipe in the book?
25:47
Maybe the Mexican chicken parm.
25:49
Oh. I saw that one,
25:52
yeah, that's a good one.
25:53
Yeah, that's a real good one.
25:55
All right. And finally,
25:56
not quickfire, but if like if you were to sit down
25:59
with anybody and have a meal,
26:01
pop culture, who would you sit down and make a dinner
26:04
for? Oh, that's a good one.
26:05
Make it juicy, like make it get it a good one
26:08
No, no pun intended.
26:09
I kind of wanna say Rachel Ray.
26:11
Cause I, I grew up with Rachel.
26:13
I grew up with 30 minute meals.
26:15
A lot of the recipes are like kind of like in her
26:17
style and like I cook like her,
26:19
like we're like she doesn't really measure.
26:21
OK, but like for the book I measured,
26:23
but you don't really need to measure all the time.
26:26
So like I feel like that would be like the perfect worlds
26:30
colliding. And then here we just mix this up.
26:34
We're gonna top it off with more cotija cheese.
26:37
You can top it off with more tajin.
26:39
So here the this looks delicious.
26:43
It's kind of like a corn in a cup but potato salad
26:45
Like I really like,
26:46
I feel like I feel bad about eating a corn in a
26:48
cup. No, and you know what,
26:50
like, look. I know I'm not a male guy,
26:53
but like this looks,
26:55
it's no, I know it's gonna be good here,
26:58
more cheese cheese.
27:00
So you just top it off with more tin.
27:03
OK I'll have that cilantro.
27:06
So I made this at home.
27:08
First of all, like my wife loved it,
27:11
but what I did,
27:13
And I hope you don't mind.
27:14
OK, I, I added a little bit of salsa matcha
27:18
to it. So this is because it's my sal this is
27:20
yours, yeah. You wanna know something funny?
27:22
I've never had the salsa matcha with the potato salad.
27:25
It's awesome. So I'm excited.
27:26
No, I mean like I,
27:28
this is like my jam you can't wait to try with the
27:32
salsa matcha so. OK.
27:36
And amigos, yeah.
27:41
Down. I got a big chunk of cotija cheese is perfect
27:45
The citrus in that awesome.
27:47
The enhances it. Yeah,
27:49
it really, really,
27:50
really does. And with the corn is like really nice and
27:53
sweet. The salsa is a good touch.
27:55
You're a genius for that.
27:56
Well, I mean,
27:57
you made it. This at a carne asada.
28:03
that's that's, well,
28:04
I mean, I,
28:05
you could put me in a corner with a bowl of this
28:07
uninchilas and then like I'm like good like I am like set
28:11
right like. It's delicious.
28:13
