Welcome to mythical kitchen well welcome to the dimly lit booth in the corner of mythical kitchen where last meals takes place we have had some incredible guests over the years we have had some incredible conversations over the years and since we are about to go on a much much deserved holiday break for
Literally everybody in this room uh megie you especially uh we wanted to take a look back at some of our favorite episodes and we love all of the things that we shoot in the mythical kitchen but last meals has truly become something special for us for me for I
Hope you and everybody who’s been on the show uh We’ve laughed we’ve cried steo took off his pants once and so sit back enjoy several hours of incredibly cathartic funny and absolutely delicious entertainment we will be back in the new year with bigger episodes better episodes more crying hopefully so
Without further delay here are some of our favorite last meals episodes I am Tom Hanks and my last meal would be collar bread frch toast with carry sugar-free syrup and In-N-Out double double with a Diet Coke Greek salad with avocado calamari and a side of pita with
Tama Sala the taste of History platter from alcholo with a diet Dr Pepper and a white chocolate coconut bunt [Applause] Cake everybody has exactly two things in common we all got to eat and we’re all going to die Tom Hanks welcome to the show man oh man and you told me not to go dark but you know it’s true we we will do both those things yeah so have
You thought about your last meal before I have uh prior to uh being coached in order to uh to appearer on on this you know there’s Pro you probably have the same thing there’s a number of restaurants I don’t know what I would order at them but there’s a couple of
Places in the world where I think if I only had one day left where would I where would I eat dinner the the the night before so you would rather go to a restaurant you’d like put your own life your last experience into the chef’s
Hands and just say like kill me bring it home uh have you contemplated your own death a lot and and this is a weird question because I’ve contemplated your death oh great a lot I had a dream terribly actually because you had Co in March of 2020 I’m not sure if you know
That uh but but I mean I think there was a resounding experience between millions of people that was if this can get Tom Hanks it can get us what was it like getting I’m sure you got thousands of messages saying Tom Hanks please don’t die should have told the kids first that
Was a big thing we kind of like went public up without letting our four children know a simple text from Australia would have they let us know that hey you idiot parents you could have done that a little bit better most of the time it it’s the parent that
Wants the kid to text them but you weren’t texting your well no we weren’t we weren’t number one we felt horrible and number two we were met by like a team in hazmat suits that carted us put us in a in a a plastic sealed automobile
And got us to a to a hospital and while we were there it felt felt pretty rotten and I kept saying um what are you looking for mhm and they well we’re looking for signs of covid-19 I said well and what would what would those be
Your patient zero in my mind well okay you know uh and they were saying we’re looking to see if um your lungs fill so we got a lot of X-rays and our temperatures if they were going to spike or not you know it’s Centigrade down there and so I said well what’s my
Temperature and they said well I said well you know you’re you’re at 37 and I said I have no idea what that means I’m at 37 what what is that in gallons I have no idea and they said it’s all right it’s all right and 3 Days Later
Said okay you can go home but you can’t go anywhere so we left there and we were locked down for like another two weeks and felt lousy did you ever think that was it that like this is the moment this is how I go out was that ever on the
Table no once they let us out of the uh hospital I think I think I think we’ll be okay all right Tom for the first course in your final meal we have Hala bread french toast now this is a kosher kala from a kosher bakery in Los Angeles we
Put a dash of vanilla extract in there some cinnamon eggs and milk cinnamon interesting a little bit of cinnamon and then we have uh uh toasted it in butter griddled it and then topped it with carries sugar-free syrup tell me about your last meal nothing affects you after
This nothing affects you I didn’t think of that you know you’re going sugar-free you don’t want one last ride uh I have developed a taste for this stuff you know if there’s this really great book I think it’s called the the Sweet and Low anyway it’s about the history of sweet
And L but because I had type 2 diabetes um I need to I don’t but I should avoid sugar but I have developed a taste for sugarfree uh Maple H how much what is this this I don’t think they can leave this is low calorie syrup okay but see
You got right here uh um it literally has only two gam of a sugar in it you know which is that’s can super low yeah yes this says oh also please please eat do you want me do you want me to to no I’m not going to eat this whole
Plate please come on P me to do here if you would serar mine to to please well you do a little bit like that and put some on the side so you can so you can dip it in you can have the I’ll save the
Last one I won’t tou I have been known to come downstairs at night when I need a sweet tooth and get a spoon and get some of the carry syrup and just put a little bit in there and oh Tom you dirty dog tastes like candy to me so ask for
The sweetener I should ask you about your life but I want to nerd out about artificial sweeteners really quickly because asame was originally developed to be you know the adhesive that’s on two plate car glass so your head doesn’t go through and it shatters okay all
Right I do now the reason that car windows don’t shatter uh they were trying to make the adhesive to make that and then somehow aspartame ended up being the byproduct and they tasted it and they’re like wow this is sweet we can make Diet Coke out of it well I have
I have asked occasional doctors it says is there any long-term not bad right right is there any long-term thing about artificial sweeteners you shouldn’t eat tons of any one individual food and that would include this stuff so Tom you’ve said that all great stories are about
Loneliness I got to get the show on the road I got to get the show on the road I’m going to keep that’s good that’s good um I want to talk about the theme of loneliness though because uh your new film a man called Oto that is a huge
Theme that’s running throughout that you’ve said that all great stories are ultimately about loneliness and you’ve also said that loneliness was a huge driver of your decision- making when you’re young I think we have this worldwide epidemic of loneliness right now it’s on the rise Japan appointed a
Minister of loneliness what do you think is behind that and and what do we do to stop it let’s figure this out you and I while okay first of all everybody should sit down and you know what your world should be like cats uh the Carnegie Deli
In New York City in which essentially you sit down with strangers there’s no it’s like no individual Booth no individual tables you just kind of like sat down chances are if you were alone or there were two of you a third person will be in there that had nothing to do
With you and so you get you get together um one of the sayings that came out of when we were making a man called Otto that came from the Swedish team that made a a man called U which was the the novel in the and the original movies and
No one is a stranger once you know their story something happens to us you know somewhere between the ages of zero and seven let’s assume all right look everybody has their personality right but everybody has exposure to something beyond our personality you know greater than ourselves and there is some aspect
Of of uh being able to feel comfortable when one is just listening that might not be in the uh in the comfort zone for an awful lot of people but I you are there is I think there’s an epidemic of loneliness particularly now within the
Last 20 years or so in which it would seem as though all these technological tools are at our disposal to be a part of something bigger than ourselves yeah that that’s a huge debate especially you know we make a lot of videos on YouTube and social media and on the one hand it
Is connecting people who have similar interests from around the world and we’ve eliminated that sense of physical place the the need for proximity but do you think that people are like over overestimating the amount that a digital connection is a quote unquote real connection I think for some people they
Are yeah without a doubt because it’s so great I mean it’s kind of it’s kind of a blast um there’s there’s nothing more life-altering than some form of a knock on the door all right Tom for the second course we have a classic Greek salad with avocado calamari uh paa and taramas Sala
T that’s how you remember T Sal a lot of Greeks just call it t t what is it t are you want some Tama have some tar it’s Greek caviar this is the Greek caviar you know that’s what they call it and then also we have the In-N-Out double
Double some marinated feta and then a diet coke uh absolutely uh the uh you know as we call it Better Living Through American chemicals um I’m just going to have a little bit because uh I periodically I I go on like you know 3
Or 4 day all water fast just to get away from some of the stuff that come do you feel any different yeah you do actually yeah in a good way or a bad way no no in a look in a good way I again I’m not I’m
I’m not against it but uh every now and again just you know do a little flush out just like haven’t eaten vegan twice a week it’s smart at the most at the most uh please dig into the very non-vegan spread uh okay I’m going here let’s get right to the we’ll put this
Off to the side Now understand any Greek restaurant and actually any Greek Homemaker anybody who says I like to cook Greek is going to be judged by the quality of their tasala o there and I can’t tell you what what is good tasala other than just tasting it and telling
You maybe the T masalas was the friends we made along the way uhoh I’m just I’m just going to first of all good good olive oil nothing wrong with it it’s Greek you know it is this is very Greek and sometimes they come up and it’s just kind of like
Tastes like salty mayonnaise but this is good tatat all right all right now you can get in a jar mhm you can get it incredibly fres this is very this is good T right that means a lot that means a lot okay this is this is kind of like
Uh calamari is served every possible way in a in a in a Greek restaurant you know what you will do is you’ll take a little bit of the tatama and put it and you do the same thing with h tziki just dip it in and what a world of flavor man oh man
That’s good and the great thing about the Greek salad is just about the only way I truly love to eat vegetables I agree this is incredibly delicious and I I’m really curious about your relationship to Greece because you you’re an honorary Greek citizen and your wife Rita is Greek and you
Converted to Greek Orthodoxy um in when you got married I didn’t have to actually you didn’t have to no because I was baptized in the in a Catholic Church Christ the King um because so I was baptized there and there is enough of a connection to the original Orthodoxy
It’s a very easy trapes over from Catholicism to Orthodoxy yeah more or less yeah they they’ll they’ll take anybody you know as long as long as you’re sincere so if I’m just going for the Tama they probably oh they love you oh great I’m in oh no they love
You I’m I’m more beloved by particularly Greek moms because I’m married a Greek you know this is that’s I’m even better than their no their lazy sons No Lie the Mediterranean diet which you can eat anywhere from you know from Lisbon and Portugal to Morocco straight across you
Know that diet based on incredibly fresh vegetables fish a lot of protein you might just live for I’m going to actually try to take uh test this my theory is all the diet COC based on that I’ll have another sip of my American Chemical all the preservatives I think
Are going to preserve your insides and I think they’re just never going to fail because of that now where do you stand on caffeine oh I consume way too much of it in my doctor told me I have to stop I try and keep it doctors cuz not you’re
My doctor not I am not it understand there’s a reason it’s a legal addictive stimulant cuz it’s fantastic and we need it I would rather give up you know like cling peaches then you know I’ll give up anything but if some doctor says to me
You you can’t have a cup of coffee in the morning I say thank you very much I’m getting it I’m getting a different doctor cuz I hate you I want to talk about God you mentioned I’m really great we’re trying this new thing where it’s
Just he or she coming to to join us now at that’s a hell of a question no I I’m really curious about your relationship to Greek Orthodoxy because you have said that you do believe in God yeah this is looping all the way back around Bring It
Around bring it around you said that you do believe in God but also that you love to ponder the mystery the why in church whereas a lot of people I think look to religion and God for certainty you seem to be looking at the mystery I I seek no
Certainty I don’t I I don’t seek for answers I must say I do I’m more interested in the questions than any of any answers would be there was there a a a really a guy who was a reverend um believe it or not um said something that
When he said it I said oh that’s my thing H he said Les are a dime a dozen they happen every day they happen every time somebody gets off a plane that flew across the country he says Ah but the Mysteries are the things that we can
Ponder for eternity and I I believe that why do good things happen to bad people why do bad things happen to good people so somewhere between how you want to spell how do you want to spell God g o d you know what what what words can you
Come up with that that fill that out Grace order Direction how about that Grace you know try to love each other give everybody a fair shot order meaning like there’s a sense of right and wrong here folks we all sort of what know it and direction is like when you wake up
In the morning said all right what am I going to what what wrong decision am I am I going to make today and what right decision can I force myself into somewhere in there you will have uh uh you know the great uh the great mystery
Of life and that’s enough for me so if life is long hopefully you’re going to make 51 good decisions against the 49 bad ones so you’ll you’ll stay ahead of the game uh that’s good enough for me and that’s that’s like the meaning of life that’s the Tom Hanks official meaning of
Life is just a 50 well I’m not going to copyright it uh canopy I’m not asking for money in order to build cab we own that phrase now okay all right I’m fascinated about that idea of generational trauma being passed down and it’s something that I mean I know
Your dad witness some traumas yeah my dad saw his dad get killed in a fight in the night in the depression by a Hired Hand and Justice was not wrought in his life and that’s a type of trauma that one way or the another get it gets past
And I have no idea what his grandfather went through because that was a whole other whole other period of history and generational Strife but now yourself I mean having children and grandchildren how do you stop that cycle I apologize to them every single day I’m sorry for
The scars that I have that you have borne because of me uh but you don’t have kids no not yet all right how old are you uh 30 my son was born when I was 21 and I I by the time I got to when I
Was 35 or in my late 30s I realized oh I know what the scoop is with my parents I know they were just doing the best they could they didn’t have a clue everybody they had so many problems going on you know they had so much stuff that they
Had to deal with including not really liking each other that much that’s a hard thing to get over well I did do one thing okay this was this was I’m going to give myself credit because my my youngest um pointed it out to me uh when
He was graduating Truman who went to who was in the movie not to take anything away but and one day he came home with his grandmother my mother-in-law and uh she said uh oo Trum Truman is afraid of you he says you yell all the time and I
Thought about it and I said oh man you know I have been on a on a patient free tear here for a while so I sat him down and I said okay I have to apologize this I I’m going to sound like a great guy
Now I’m not uh this I didn’t notice it myself piece of crap what it told I had no self-awareness I did not know what I was doing I only know knew that this little kid had done absolutely nothing wrong so what I did was I I drew first
First off we I came up with a contract two cop of a contract that we both signed I dad hereby declare that I am not going to yell at Truman and if I do he can say Dad you’re yelling at me and I will have to stop and that holds up
Yeah it does and when he was said dad you’re yelling is said up sorry sorry sorry hold on so that’s it that’s the only hint I have of how to be a decent parent come up with that uh with that contract actors only understand contracts that’s exactly right we will
Take a we will we will take Direction so oh my God we didn’t eat the burger we e we didn’t even eat the burger now you know I I read this thing that it might not be true but I’m going to say it’s true please the busiest restaurant in
The world I’ve read is The Lax In-N-Out Burger because people all over the world get off their plane in LA and go right to the In-N-Out and I will tell you 24 hours a day that drive-thru line is a quarter mile it’s ridiculous and there’s a reason for this because AR maybe maybe
Inarguably this is the best mass-produced H cheese double double with everything no doubt in my mind about that and you can have it wrapped in lettuce that’s uh protein style no bun evidently I’ve heard from your crack staff that you can also have it tomato style is that what it’s called tomato
Wrapped tomato wrapped two big slices of tomato on either side instead of a bun I just want two cans of Diet Coke holding the burger that’s the Natural Evolution of this but I heard about that no come on it’s incredible we did not have these where I grew up in Northern California
When I first moved to LA in the 80s they had in and out the radio commer in that’s what a hamburger is all about and I’m never had one and then I did and Los Angeles made all the sense in the world check this out check this out all
Right I don’t know if you could see on these plates kudos to the staff you not only went to elcholo to get a taste of History you’ve got the platter that says a taste of History right here this is the Holy Grail right here you can
Present the dish and all of its I am so thrilled the taste of okay the elcholo experience is second to none it is a 100-year-old family probably started just in a you know a taco stand somewhere downtown the the original elcholo for me was on Western I believe
It seats 6,000 people it’s just room after room after room after room of families eating those those hot frying pans the sizzling fajitas sizzling fajitas to the menu in 1984 there you go I love it that every time they sit down literally a spitting sizzling hot frying
Pan in front of you they always say be careful that’s hot you know I think I I think I understand seeing that I’m getting my skin is being char broil right here so this is the the chili Rano right here we have the rolled Taco officially on the menu someone would
Call it a fla we have the Tamal and then we have a classic cheese enchilada on the side with the guac served in the little tosta cup which a little extras this is when they call it a taste of History this is historically a sample of everything that uh elcholo made famous
What do you start with first I’m I’m looking to you for the que well I’m going to I’ll I’ll go with the the tamali if you go to the Wilshire of Santa Monica U elcholo and uh search the walls because you’ll see a photograph of essentially our entire
Office crew uh cuz we be before uh before Co years ago we we would just someone would announce it’s Wednesday can we go to elcholo today boom walking distance we’d walk to elcholo take up a big table so they started taking pictures of us when we were there I
Literally I was at elcholo 2 days ago two nights ago and I was searching the walls because I was like knowing how Tom feels about this he’s got to be there and I didn’t see the picture because I got hung up reading a bone appetite restaurant review from 1994 and what did
It say oh it’s just it’s call A Taste of history no absolutely right you cannot go wrong now also if you’re going for solely the uh you know the white Los Angelino version of Mexican food big big basket of chips of course margarit still the cows come
Home there was a time where this this whole thing would go in my stomach you can’t stop and then you’re eating an entire you’re eating 15 tortillas worth of chips different also yeah yeah nothing wrong with that 1 pm Mar pitcher Margarita either I’ll tell you I ordered
A single Margarita just off the menu and I swear there was at least four shots of tequila they a to please I think if you just said hey can I have a Light Margarita that they it would still just come out it little be like you know PTA
Barbecu uh Power it will just absolutely KN it out we are not you you guarantee me we are not paid content for our products here we are not paid content but I will say uh a Dr Pepper diet has exactly zero calories but all the Great
Taste of Dr Pepper and in the greater kig Dr Pepper company we swear that kig did not actually start a National Environmental crisis that’s propaganda anybody remember that the C thing landfills yeah I’m just here to ponder why things happen to good people and bad things happen to Tom what happens when you
Die where do you go the lights go out and it’s just nothing you know I’m going to I’m going to let you know uh all the all the I’ll try to come back I happen to know people that have given up everything as far as you know commercial
American Beverage snack food that when you say sometimes I have a diet do oh oh diet Dr Pepper’s good it almost it almost tastes like the real thing it does it does why not being paid but it is by the way you pointed out it’s the third beverage right mm Coca Cola Pepsi
Cola Dr Pepper and did you say that the government says it cannot be bought by one of the cola companies yeah it would violate antitrust monopo acts to purchase Dr Pepper so it’s always been just held up as a third pillar I have a conspiracy about this though that Dr
Pepper is just a mix of cola and root beer cuz they say 23 flavors that’s too many flavors for a single soda that’s why it tastes like the real thing cuz your body is so confounded I don’t care I don’t I say was bad tastes so good sometimes sometimes I’ll also mix it
Like when you go to uh you’re on the Road and you stop off to get sunflower seeds some beef jerky some apple slices and then you now go and you don’t have to buy a bottle of anything you can go to one of those machines where you have
All the buttons that you can press and what how many times oh I’m going let me get some C oh no let me add some Diet Dr Pepper to that let me go let what else I’ll go back to the put some Pepsi Max on here see what that and you just end
Up having this volatile concoction of every delicious soda thing and no no uh no calories because because it’s all sugarfree I love it I always put a dash of the orchata in there and that gets you a little creaminess mhm hot damn thank you I’m a
Visionary I I I’m I’m sounding like I’m 13 years old aren’t I that’s the beauty of food man that’s the beauty of food you know uh when my the great love of my Dad’s life was uh Francis Wong uh they were married for a thousand years and um
Uh uh she was Chinese from San Francisco and as a very young man I would would be next thing I know I’m in a car we’re driving over to a place you know a Chinese restaurant that literally has no Caucasian people and only the Chinese people know it’s fantastic food I have
No idea what it is there was that Lazy Susan you know of so many things and all I had to do was just be a tiny bit Brave what do you think stops people from going out of their comfort zone like that that’s a good question like what
Are they Afra what are they afraid of if they put something in their mouth that they don’t like I is would it might be something that you learn as a kid I don’t you’re the one that has kids I don’t have kids what do your kids eat
Like did you like expose them to to a lot of foods there’s a no there’s a period of time where they just will not eat anything other than what is in their comfort zone and you you know you you trick them after a while yeah you do you
You like fake them out trying to get them to try calamari when When We Were Young we and it would be the breaded kind of like deep fried Camari and we said it’s essentially chicken you know like chicken nuggets cuz they ate chicken nuggets by the fraking full you
Know it’s like it’s like chicken nuggets is it really yeah then we lied and said well it’s not like chicken nuggets but it’s not bad either so haha we got him got him Tom we have reached the dessert portion the Terminus of your last meal please tell me about this cake look at
It look at it so beautiful man I want to cry man isn’t it gorgeous it really is all right this this cake is so great you can really only have it once a year which works out perfectly because I don’t order it it arrives as a as a gift
At Christmas now I’m going to drop a name now and I don’t want you to go berserk but uh this is a big name um not everybody gets uh this white chocolate coconut bunt cake this is a Christmas gift that we get every year from Tom
Cruz get the heck out oh my God I’m so sorry that was incredbly dangerous I thought it was going to go that way get I get it now what’s interesting is the down at the office the plon world headquarters around starting about Thanksgiving they start eyeing the you
Know what mail is come in today you know is the big box coming in are we getting what has essentially been called the Tom Cruz cake because this is this is just off the scale fantastic now what happens at the office is the first two you know
First couple of days people take you know that size of of of slice But as time time goes by we realize these the days are numbered on the survival of this cake so everybody starts slicing thinner and thinner slices you know and it’s a mathematical proof that you would
Just keep cutting everything in half you will never run out of Tom Cruz cake cuz if you eat the last piece of Tom Cruz cake it Play Tone uh you’re going to you’re going to pay the piper you’re going to some you’re going to get a horrible work assignment or pink notice
Who knows what’s going on cuz then the other thing that goes on is at the house the whole family is say Hey where’s the where’s it where’s the cake where’s it this is this this is what we actually called it the house are you ready for
This please we we’ll have it we’re go like oh man oh God I love T cake T cake T cake it this the best d c cake I ever had so it’s become that people come down for breakfast and said with a full mouth and say hey who wa the
Less of cook and I’m going to say Tom if you’re watching Mr Cruz you’re a legend he does watch the show and thank you for your but man man Tom what better to go along with cake than some lovely truly caffeine this is a savior right now this
Is a long big meal coffee cake right cake and coffee matches along now a fine cup of coffee if you like you know that kind of think I’ve added some hot milk to it um if you’ve been paying attention to the internet I’ve worked with some folks in the coffee business and there’s
A product now called Hanks hnx for our troops you can uh direct a consumer um on the web and every U every every scent of profit goes to help uh veterans organizations it’s damn good coffee we I believe you we have three different you don’t have to yell at me I believe you
We have three different flavors one’s like for a holiday brand one is just straight mour and Joe you know literally a fist full of caffeine right in the face right after bed and another in the face one another one’s a little bit of a Morning Blend that has a little bit of
Malt in it that’s what that’s what I happen to drink so check it out and you can you get you’ll you’ll get your legal addictive stimulant that we both love need it and uh your money will go to a cause to help our the those who served
Everybody tells you that you’re like the best guy right I’ll tell you that you’re a piece of crap no um I was going to say that I mean it seems like every single thing you do even going back to the co thing you were the first person that I
Heard give the message of like do your part you live your life like somebody who needs to get into heaven like this is my read I mean honestly for real for real it’s like every single thing you do if you are not sure about heaven if you’re not sure about what happens when
You die like what actually drives you not to not to get uh you know too philosophical about but here’s the thing do it man this is a place when I was growing up and I was moving we moved around a lot by the time I was in fifth
Grade I lived in like 10 houses 10 different places and went to four or five different schools and I I always kind of was excited by being in a new place and going to a new school my my siblings not so much so they were a little shy not quite so outgoing but
Seemed to me there was always some sort of like you know interesting circus that was somewhere nearby where we were living I was born in 56 so I was you know I was in I was a socially conscious human being by 1961 19 19 62 and if you
Think about it that was only 20 years after World War II and they talked about not just about you know everybody T everybody made references to the war but they talked about the common purpose of what went on there that there was a common sacrifice there was there were
Sayings like hey buddy don’t you know there’s a war on uh and I think that infiltrated me because all of my teachers all of my dad’s friends any adult had had this thing happen happened to them essentially when they were teenagers and they left Willows California were in somewhere in the
South Seas like my dad was you know and I don’t know I think that just got this got around uh to you know the the social um and what is it you know the social studies aspects of going to school is is that um It’s relatively easy to follow
The rules and if you follow the rules you know Life’s a little bit better now you’re also talking to a white kid in a white neighborhood you know even in a even a city like Oakland I was going to a school where there’s an awful lot of things about American
History that were not taught you know that we did not know about I grew up in an incredibly incredibly very very very very vibrant time and I was so young that I didn’t have to I could not get drafted to go to the war in Vietnam do
You think any of that is like survivors guilt for people who didn’t have the level of success that you did or maybe didn’t come out because you don’t seem to be giving yourself a ton of credit on that you know when you’re young it’s like are you you’re growing up in some
Combination of a William soyan novel and catcher in the Ry you’re you’re in in a mix of stuff and what really what’s your main uh place of Solace it’s going to be some form of your family and I got to tell you my my siblings were hilarious
My dad was distant but uh oblivious to all the things he needed to be oblivious to yeah talk to me that about that importance of family cuz a man called Otto the movie which this is the last stop on his press store and I’m and everyone come on no give it up that’s
Those things are long let’s talk about a man called Otto in the them excuse me I’m going to beam here just for a little bit longer knowing that this is my stop this is this is the end of it I I want to talk about the theme of family because you
Obviously you talked about how this is the family business it’s storytelling if you own a plumbing supply company what’s the difference and in this movie you I mean Truman played your younger self um Rita did the song she was a producer she was a producer on set and she recorded
The closing time and even one of my favorite moments Mike Berbiglia drives up in the car and out for his white boy Summer by ched byed an incredible I shot up in my seat when I heard that you know when I uh when I was in the high school
Play my dad who was in the restaurant business and also taught hotel and restaurant food preparation he had no concept how any child of his could get up and do something like that cuz he was a really you know super closed off guy not super closed off he was just shy and
Retiring and oblivious to an awful lot of it uh and he he was the type of guy who would sit there and laugh at us all um he would just laugh at what we’re doing and saying and carrying on uh my four kids are all creative one way or
Another U my daughter’s a writer Colin is an actor uh Chad is a renaissance man he does a little bit of everything and sitting around my family at a dinner table is the best conversation I could possibly have anywhere cuz everybody is opinionated everybody is funny everybody
Fights just just you know just the right amount of time uh almost every um meal ends up with just a right amount of T I have I have one last question Tom you’ve created your own slice of paradise on Earth I mean to me it seems like I mean
It’s easy to say from the outside looking in but you can have your takuk K you got this beautiful family incredible career won all the awards including a Shakespearean award from Cleveland back in oh my Lord 19 1978 I think uh but point is I mean you have you shouldn’t
Want for anything I’m sure you do does that give you any Solace about death like when you when it’s actually time to kick the bucket pay the piper whatever is there any difference between somebody who has lived a fulfilled life and a non-fulfillment to ponder what this is
We’ll find out you know we’ll we’ll we’ll get to the bottom of it the one thing that has absolutely no ecumenical is no empirical you know science to back it up is what happens when we uh when we Shuffle off to the next one and I I
Don’t waste a minute thinking about what that is or or fearing what it’s going to be I won’t waste any more of your minutes um but I will tell you I mean a man called Otto it it deals with a lot of themes of death that meant a lot to
Me it was this close to crying Tom the tears weld up this everybody around me was crying I wasn’t crying it’s okay for people to cry but I wasn’t doing it but I got really close one one of the things we’ve said about the movie is that you
Know because Otto does not want to he wants to join his wife he does not want to continue on but one of the things somebody said yeah but God said no they said that’s what you’ve got that’s right so God says no you know God says no
Sometimes what are you going to do uh so a man called Otto is part of The Passion of the Christ Cinematic Universe this is the this is the third installment it’s like the Hobs and Shaw to fasten the Furious it’s it’s what it is it’s about a good heart-to-heart talk at the
Cemetery with somebody that you love Tom are you’re ready for the lightning R BR it home after long last all right other than me I’ll say other than Rita to cuz that’s the easy answer who’s the one person you’d want to share your actual last meal with John Lennon who John
Lennon never heard of the oh the the the Soviet Soviet leader yeah no no no of The Beatles the uh who’s your dream eulogizer at the funeral oh oh man uh what’s wrong with the Oprah how about that what’s wrong with Oprah nothing you can’t you cannot go wrong o uh who plays
You in the biopic uh not a one cuz I don’t think anybody can hold a candle of the man himself that’s what’s up that’s what’s up that’s called confidence what is the one role you least want to be remembered for I loved Cloud atas I love Cloud at
You have to understand I’m going I’m I’m going to school you every one of these movies are made in the greatest Faith am imagable they’re all a blast to do everybody is working really hard so to slag on any of them is to insult the the
Communal effort that we all we all put in I didn’t even write these I didn’t even write I’ll say I’ll give you this one I’ll give you this one I’ll give you this one uh throw up throw up the circular from me on the loveboat my my
Head in the I did a loveboat in June of 1980 you can have that one all right I’ll give you that one I already remember the guy’s name uh do you have any regrets in life not a one hell yeah are you happy oh I’m content how about that I think
That’s as good as you can hope for that’s that’s happiness man that comes and goes this two Shall Pass happiness contentment can actually linger for a while that’s beautiful Tom I cannot thank you that’s the lightning that’s the lightning round do you expect I was like what is what is the square mileage
Of Madagascar what’s the square mileage of Madagascar how far is it from Winnipeg to Montreal Tom if you will please deliver your last words right to that camera we’ll be right back so anyway what’s interesting yeah I’m brinie Broski and my last meal would be an ice cold Pepsi with spicy tuna Krispy rice and ponzu brussels sprouts chicken and dumplings with some Chick-fil-A sweet tea crawfish etou with sweet cornbread and salty greens damn and raw cookie dough for dessert cuz I’m an American [Applause] Citizen every person has exactly two things in common we all got to eat and we all got to die Britney Bros welcome to the show Facts thank you for having me hey problem this is uh uh My Last Wish is it actually it is that’s incredible so like this is something
You’ve thought about before you’re like as I die I would like to have my last meal prepared by myself and the rest of the mythical kitchen well yeah like as I’m about to die I’d like to just go to the mythical Studios one last time that’s incredible I is it like through
The make Wish Foundation or this is just like your own it’s just the Broski Nation funeral fund that’s what it is so your last meal is something that you thought about before like this is something that’s ever present on your mind yeah but you know what it’s only
Only like I was shocked when y’all sent through let me give some some uh background behind the scenes fo break the fourth wall we got the email and I was like oh my dream like of course I’ll do it and then they were like we want a
Bulky description of like it’s not just one item it’s like a bunch and I was like okay so I had to think about it for a second cuz I’ve always said for some reason I’m going to die in Louisiana I just feel that in my soul interesting I
Don’t know why I’ve only been to Louisiana like twice um and I my uh death row meal would be crawfish at du so that’s always been number one but everything else I was like you you had to put some thought into it see what was actually important for your life exactly
And then I started to realize damn this is just Southern like lard I yeah I mean I if you don’t actually die today or in the near future hopefully we can at least inue towards that with all the lard and or the salmonella from the rock
That and just like my heart is just struggling to like keep pumping blood after this meal it’s going to be a lot is is death something you think about a lot is that are you people oh thank God my people my people yeah do you have
Like a hyper fixation on it big time oh I used to get panic attacks about death all the time you still do let’s get one together today right now all right Bry for your first course we have spicy tuna on crispy rice we hand minced the tuna ourselves mix it
With a little bit of sesame oil Sriracha topped it with a scallion curl some fresh jalapeno this is an LA Sushi classic then we got the fried Brussels sprouts dressed in ponzu with some chili threads of course side of eel sauce and spicy mayo and then the ice cold Pepsi
Listen not Co you’re a southern gon you’re drinking Pepsi you know what worst too is I have a Coke tattoo what’s wrong with you you should you need some don’t kill nobody okay keep at te yourself you got laser that out dude that’s blur that please dig in
I’m damn this is a a very Southern meal right here you have from the the the Gulf Coast the blue F tuna famously no tell me about this tell me about this this I always think and I’m sorry if you are a spicy tuna fan like I am it always
Feels like the chef was in the backat like yeah that’s actually how they make it that’s how we made it yeah yeah it was right out of Nicole she actually went and kind of squished it through her front teeth oh that actually makes it worse actually now actually what spicy
Tuna really is is maybe worse it’s like all the meat that’s stuck to the spine you don’t have to tell me that you actually didn’t have to say any of that so that’s awesome oh you’re right I’m going hands if you don’t mind me being just absolutely did I wash my hands no
No absolutely not I here’s the thing no for legal purposes I do wash my hands whatever you spicy T oh yeah that great look that’ll do it every time M okay it’s hard to mess this up do you have an intimate connection with this or is it just something you
Enjoy eating you’re like screw I’m about to die no this is like if I’m at any Asian fusion restaurant I’m like where is the spicy Duna I know you got it and it has to be done so well because okay this is such a first world problem when
You postm crispy rice and it shows up and it’s not crispy yeah what’s worse oh literally nothing in the world is worse than postmating Sushi look I can’t one worse than that not even a little bit no and you know my the Jewish grandma was born in 1902 she probably she’s never
Had soggy chisp never had soggy Krispy rice dig into the Brussels sprouts I’m curious what what the you’re about to die you’re eating greens that’s weird yeah well listen it’s dowed in sauce this is to lubricate the arteries yeah no literally the greens are just a
Sponge for the sauce and the fry oil yes and not great damn that’s good that’s so good now how do you shred a chili like that that’s not real it’s all for Nicole’s mouth most of the cooking just comes from Nicole chewing things up spinning out and then dehydrating it
Yeah razor short she’s got it speaking of Brussels sprouts what’s the worst panic attack because of death you ever had Oh I thought you were going to ask how bad do you fart bad no do you the answer is bad the other day was the
First time in my car that I was actually afraid of a fixating because I farted it was a really it was a really cold morning and I farted so much that I was literally like this is just Co CO2 poisoning that was pure methane yeah yeah yeah you can actually die it’s
Happened before no really you talked about having death anxiety yeah cuz I feel like most people do and they should because my God that is a frightening concept there’s nothing scarier etal nothingness you know well it’s this thing of um were you raised religious no I was raised like Jewish but more
Culturally so and so I didn’t grow up with a lot of theology but you were raised religious I was raised very religious Southern Baptist that’s the most it’s actually like top tier s tier as the kids say hey by the way when I um
Like got to a cient cient age and I was like damn what was Foot Loose about they like couldn’t dance cuz God said so hey what’s that about by the way my whole understanding of the afterlife was framed in this like will you or won’t you be accepted into heaven and like I
Guess that’s kind of the purpose is like it’s a moral guidepost right and like you need to be you need to have the fear of God in you to be accepted into the kingdom of heaven and I just like I think that is so dangerous because you’re not doing it for the right
Reasons that’s so selfish and I think that that is where Christians get it wrong a lot of the time is like you’re not living to you know create a peaceful world with your fellow man like the Bible teaches you’re living very selfishly so you make it to heaven when
I kind of let go of that and I let go of what if there is no afterlife oh spiral Spiral you know you can’t catch your breath it’s that cuz but that’s the point of religion right if you look at religion as like oh this is actually
Something to spread morality um to you know Heal the World Etc they use that phrase in Judaism a lot it doesn’t really make a lot of sense when you dive deep like you said it’s a selfish thing but if you look at religion as just making people fear death so they like
Kind of stay alive so keep them in check so you can keep them in check you’ve said that you know uh you miss the ignorance of being in religion very much which I miss that I never had that ignorance I would love that ignorance yeah you’ve like never had a a path
Where you felt secure on it’s always kind of been floating I have friends who were raised agnostic or raised with no religious influence at all and they are the most lost people I’ve ever met you know like it’s one thing to have religious trauma but to just be out
There by yourself that’s scary right out you moved to LA with the heathens you stopped speaking in Tong did I did the gay people I started I became friends with them just went downhill from there listen they seem like they have a great time look they have a great time but
Hell is hot Hell is Hot yeah my family my grandparents specifically they always come at me with you know like you moved to LA and you just try I don’t know who you are and I’m like MiMi you didn’t know who I was ever you know cuz I’ve
Been presenting as that little Southern the southern woman you know she doesn’t leave the house without makeup on she’s married and has a college degree by 21 she has kids by 24 you know it’s like it’s this perfect life that’s been kind of planned out for you especially as a
White woman from the south yeah and I just rejected it always but I played to it with my family because you don’t want to be the black sheep you know I want to come out like yelling all of these incredibly leftist slogans just to you know my family is just not they’re not
In the mindset to even be receptive to any of it so I moved to LA and I was like I have never been more myself and that’s what they don’t understand you know so it’s like all that to bring it back to religion it’s like I found this new sense of self and
Freedom but all that security I had for post life gone so what is it a worthy trade uh no but I mean would you trade that amount of Safety and Security for you know actually coming to the realization of who you are today talking about it definitely helps cuz it’s when
You’re alone in your room thinking you know like is this it this can’t be it we’re on this Earth to suffer and giggle sometimes but that’s it and then we die I just spit on you and I’m sorry about that no that’s cool you know that’s part
Of it that’s part of the suffering and giggling do you think like is it just creating a higher ratio of giggling to suffering oh always that’s it that’s my life mission that’s like like Christianity the Bible the Old Testament Kanan all that it’s all just summarizing giggle more than you suffer and that
Actually is going to be on a t-shirt that we’re going to sell boom that literally is it buy the merch and then we’re going to link it right here put it’s just a link to my YouTube Channel please right here thank you so much all right Britney course number two
We got Southern Style Chicken and Dumplings we actually use doll Parton’s recipe to make this uh this is we did we did um we used a dairyfree base uh so yeah simple shredded chicken dumplings boiled in there a little bit of parsley on top and then to complete the southern
Meal we got the gigantic sweet tea Chick Filet like kicking my feet under the table like a little girl like laying on her bed like writing in her diary I’ve never had I’ve never had this you’ve never had a CH I don’t know what to tell you you’ve had haggish and you’ve never
Had I’ve had had tons of haggish oh man I’ve had organ meats that you couldn’t imagine should we cheers it damn God that is it’s just sugar I know but how do they how do they dissolve so much in there it’s the love of Christ is what I God bless you that
Is really what it is and it’s been my plure it is the that’s the Christian chicken oh my God it really is they get into the dumplings all right here we go now I am The Dumpling fiend so wow we’ll have to rate this is this the dish you
Grew up eating mhm oh that’s good you got it it’s salty oh that it’s so salt yeah yep but then you got the sugars to take out the salts you see what I’m working with now I understand this and if you even try to have a a drop of
Water forget about it did you grow up with like drinking water being a thing cuz I didn’t no we drink no water growing up we drank milk with every milk 100% you did too yes yes that was the thing that’s like parents of Our Generation we like you got to drink milk
And build strong bones what that and then I just had hormonal acne by the way so thanks Mom I was just a horse I mean I think all the hormones in it just made me deadlift 300 lb and I was 14 mus truly yeah Josh is 12 the densest
Bones you’ve ever seen my God uh the weight limit on an elevator always they’re like Josh get off crushing my couch damn wow I would go as far as to say that’s better than Cracker Barrel that’s huge but it’s not better than my mom so I
Have to Humble you guys speak of your mom she hunts ghosts she does that’s crazy yeah talking about religious yeah yeah how do you square it you know what I like roast her about all the time is I was raised Christian obviously like First Baptist Church when she goes out
On these ghost Hunting Expeditions she’s saying Catholic prayers mom make it make sense mhm and I’m like how do you reconcile that between what you believe and then what you know the ghost hunting Community MH practices and you know like you say the prayer of Archangel Gabriel
And you do this and you will not follow me home bless this home whatever she’s like you just believe it you know it’s like out of exorcisms and all that is just always Catholic and I’m like damn it’s just the Catholics that are haunted that’s crazy
Okay so I I have this general theory right that people all they want is community and that’s why religion is such a big thing they want community and they want to feel something acceptance acceptance and you have found your own Community within I don’t know if Stan
Culture is a slur the term Stan culture say The Outsider it doesn’t feel right I’ll say that okay but no but I mean You’ you’ve been on like both sides of Stan culture right in the sense that you were you were writing 1D fanfic uh you broke down crying well sorry okay so
Sorry I didn’t mean to bring I have never done that she has never done that to be clear never written Robert dowy Jr fanfiction either what what era of RDJ what’s up like we’re talking like Iron Man he was in these awful movies in the
80s and like yeah then he had the there was the you know the whole like the drug thing and then yeah this is pre that pre that he was like early to mid 20s and there’s this movie called only you and it has I forget the lead girls name in
It but it like made me a woman like seeing Robert Dy Jr in that movie hey don’t ask me any followup questions okay no not about that I mean I mean I got other followup questions but I I’m F to let that one lie yeah that was let
That one rest I was going to like spin off on this whole theory that celebrities are our new gods and that we worship them as you know people did in religious ceremonies like like watching you break down and cry meeting Harry Styles all right I mean no but for real
That’s a religious experience you know what I mean and that’s a very real thing no it very much is and it’s also um the celebrity culture of like the 50s and 60s I would it is so worse today like we really saw the Fatal effects of you know stardom with people like Janice Joplin Amy win housee where it’s like the attention and the spiral into drug use and just hopelessness is a direct effect of the press and you know fans and
Whatever the level we see today with like the way people worship the Kardashians they worship internet figures they worship these people who like are just normal people they wipe their butt the same way you and I do but I get it because like you said I’ve been
On both sides so it’s like it means so much because you form a personal connection with those people I mean I literally had a Paras social relationship with r link yeah for the longest time that I met them and I was like oh they’re just men like did that
Really like break that broke the bond it didn’t break the bond because I will always have a nostalgic like appre like gratefulness for you know they got me through a specific time the same way that Cody and no got me through a specific time and general way Jesus gets
A lot of people the same way that Jesus has carried me by my shoulders through it all and that’s really the truth do you think as content creators we are ultimately doing a bad because we’re the ones that are like supplying the Demand right sure it’s the common argument of
Like well is a drug dealer a bad person if the demand already exists they’re just full damn well abstract their this is how I think all the time and of course I love my job and I love what I do but you know depression rates in
Teens seems to be very linked to social media 100% And then they’re out here consuming it do you think there’s any culpability there it’s a multifaceted issue because there always will be those creators that make you feel inferior M you’re not doing this enough someone’s better at your craft than you they’re
Prettier than you they’re stronger than you they’re whatever and then there’s the flip side where it’s like kind of the the area that me and like Sarah basa fall into of like we’re just the bestie so I’m not inherently here to make you feel bad or like make you feel like you
Need to change something I’m here to make you giggle and you know Bond over things that we all like and like I said you know I’m a victim of it and I’m also I guess in the position where I’m doing it now but it’s it’s like would I rather
Go back to the bank no no Absolut that’s the one thing we can all agree on I’ll die before I go back to a cubicle no and period yeah 100% Britney for the third course we have crawfish a some rice in the middle this is fresh crawfish from Louisiana
Cajun Trinity we actually made it dairyfree as well you’re welcome lot of margarine in there speaking of margarine we got cornbread right here in the skillet plenty of butter salt honey very sweet and then we got extra salty greens for you with the smoked ham Hawk listen the
Amount of sodium on this table could kill a Victorian child yeah definitely three Victorian children depending how anemic they are and they were all anemic I’ll tell you what all of them every every last one right dig in dig in dig in I’m going I’m going right for the A2
I could cry I’m going in here okay fine I’ll go I can’t you’re the guest you’re not cutting you’re just eating with a spoon I love that oh I didn’t even realize you know I’m just look you’re lucky I didn’t use my hand can I go for

That’s to you’re doing the lch work wait have you did you tasted the atou not yet I need to know if it’s proper cuz we Tred our best I assumed you were from Louisiana with the AI in there but you just identifi Louisiana culture
Mhm oh it’s got a kit to it a lot of cayenne in there you didn’t cook this did you nope proud of you guys you guys this is Nicole Nicole is on the mic on this one we all spit in the food though that’s what we all do well that I you
Know it’s the secret ingredient is co correct mhm can you tell me why a fan wants DM me to say Chef daddy run me over with a cement truck then pour Rice Krispies in my spilled entrails yes you you were the only person in the
World that I could trust to just say yes to that question why why do they do it cuz you’re hot and sexy thank you wel I think we’re both hot and sexy to be clear and you know we deserve like the language of death is so prevalent to me
In Stan culture and I see that a lot and I know this is the most like Boomer ass question I could ask um but still I need to understand like why that’s a thing that’s about um how do I get their attention by saying the most revolting
Thing possible they have to respond to me this is a strange meta question because we are on the show being watched by fans that is running the ads that are paying the bills that can buy the fresh grish for the A2 and so a large part of
Both of our careers are just fueled by the fans and of course the vast vast majority of them are freaking awesome and love them to death but there’s always this push and pull like you’re simultaneously loved and hated constantly you get hate on online are you kidding me all Reddit threads I
Would ask the same about you but you get hate online I mean you’re a woman online especially that’ll do it that’ll do it that’ll do it and that’s the thing I think about a lot is just this Sim simultaneity of love and hate uh but how do you deal with
That what do you get hate for I am having a hard time understanding I am uh I’m a know-it-all I’m annoying um someone said I get that one too but that’s it like literally to you have to be annoying you have to be a little bit annoying to put yourself on
YouTube to have if you’re just boring if you’re not taking any risks nobody’s going to watch yeah if you’re too cool for what we’re doing what we do online is like the most Goofy Goober cuckoo crazy silly the god honest truth is I don’t deal with it well yeah it’s just
Things that I didn’t even know I needed to be self-conscious about those things mhm same like cuz I knew I had a big forehead but it was like God damn y’all really are it’s hidden we got the curtains over yeah smart but it’s you know it’s things like that especially as
A woman like my body gets picked apart and it’s like you wouldn’t do that to Cody Co no one’s commenting on Cody’s videos Cody thank you for representing my body type but they do it to me it’s like what are we talking about yeah so I don’t know it’s it’s you can be
Incredibly grateful because I I am you know but all that after a while kind of adds up 100% And there have been moments where I’m like I would rather work it out back steakhous like I would rather just say at all delete everything there are moments where it
Just you know people dog pile and it’s just awful but I haven’t and I won’t you know cuz that’s that’s like it those moments are fleeting if you open yourself up for the positive interactions and let people in that way then you by default have to open yourself up to the thousands upon
Thousands of NE negative interactions right so to me it’s like you’re either this is either all holding water or none of it holding water either all of this means something or none of it means anything like I have a personal relationship with each and every one of
My followers and it’s so fun but it can get dangerous do you have an escape do you have an Escape Plan like you have a timetable like yo 5 years out out back steakhous you’re going to be a franchisee yeah you know uh
No but I do in like 3 to 5 years want to kind of relax a bit dream big I can’t yeah I’d like to just like kick my feet up have a sweet tea but no I don’t want to stop yeah like I don’t that sounds boring agreed I
Don’t know what else I’d do no that’s literally it we could work at the bank you and me like rob it so when I said work at the bank what part of that said rob the bank because that’s way more plausible than me just being able to
Like stand on my feet for 8 hours and interact with for $100 bill no I can’t count are you kidding me all right Bry for the final course uh we got a bunch of balls of raw cookie though ain’t much to it it’s store-bought the safe stuff to eat um is
The proper way to eat with your hands now listen the way that y’all pled this is incredibly tempting I wanted like slime and throw it on the table and like well this table’s been sanitized I mean you’ll get a couple you know some bleach in you but other than that you’re good
Nothing that’s not already in there that’s what I’m saying I got to be so honest I don’t want it to end I’m having a blast I’m having a blast too we can get more courses if you want just make stuff up on the spot they the next course is a Rice Krispy
Treat just a singular rice krispy I’m going hands I’m going hands that’s bold I’ll go in with a spoon what else would you rather be listen when Jimmy Buffett wrote Cheeseburger in Paradise that’s a real song that we this yep it was actually about mythical kitchen and about this

Applesauce slapping it on my tray that’s what we’re all doing on YouTube we’re just babies with applesauce you ever see mukbangers just a baby with a giant tray of applesauce slapping around for people’s entertainment and this is how I feel talking to you CU you scare the
out of me what what are you kidding me you scared no you said something said something scared me I got to bring cut it out I cut it out no no no hold on my cards all messed up here we go here we go here we go you said before that Tik
Tok has defined a generation and it’s probably the best thing that’s ever happened that scared the hell out do you stand by that yeah that can’t be uh you talking about Community earlier sense of community that Tik Tok has brought a lot of people together mhm the information sharing we are aware of
So many world crises Tik Tok forces you to know and it forces you to care and I think that uh that peer pressure you know of like your favorite influencer or your friends on social media showing support and doing something about it whether it’s performative or not it’s
Still raising you know awareness in a certain sense I think that the globalization of Tik Tok is truly a Marvel this is the thing I think about a lot if social media can spread information it can spread disinformation and we’ve seen that right so that’s the thing that freaks me out 2012 Arab
Spring was a huge turning point in Twitter and WhatsApp being able to you know literally have people start Grassroots revolutions the West cheered watching dictators get overturned everything is a lot more complicated than that but it was this Universal like oh social media it’s good it brings people together and then 2016 happened
Trump gets elected and we start seeing social media being used to just elect autocratic brutal leaders in so many countries around the world because now they have a mass propaganda platform that everybody is consuming and to me that seems like a net negative right having constantly available information
Even if it’s about these crises around the world that people hadn’t heard of now you’re getting like bad information about that as opposed to previously no information but it’s a weird trade-off it is a weird trade-off and you know what it has to do with is um generation
I think my parents are very smart people but some sometimes like they wouldn’t be able to tell a deep fake of Tom Cruz yeah that’s something I know how to yeah listen I see it and I’m like I know Tom Cruz would never do that tooth it in the
Middle right it’s like my parents don’t have that insid or knowledge of growing up with a device in your hand my siblings who are 6 years younger than me they know probably more than I ever will and it’s purely because of the starting off point of information that
They’re you know exposed to but there’s also doctoring tweets and doctoring videos and you know it’s like what is real it really gives me um anxiety yeah speaking of anxiety what happens when you die no I’m really glad you asked that no no but okay where are you at in
Terms of like an afterlife now like if you were just a bet and woman what happens after you die just is it Eternal nothingness and it’s just live for the now no ghosts maybe I have settled on um to take the place of God the universe
Look at that just changed the name and suddenly it’s the same thing I Chang the name suddenly um I feel okay I think that humanity is the universe experiencing itself wow in all rotten and fruitful forms I think that to be human is the gift and that is to be
Lived while we’re alive to experience the Heartbreak and the joy and the crying and the giggling M and the birth and the death and all of that is The Human Experience and then it’s done and then it happens again and it keeps experiencing itself over and over I
Think that that is the point of life and I also think that in that sense the afterlife doesn’t matter all of it is just contained in the universe itself like you are experiencing the entire universe the entire universe is experiencing you the universe loves crawfish atou and cookie dough
Apparently that’s it B you ready to get in the lightning round what the is the lightning the lightning round all my CS are all jumbled up we got lighting around over here other than me who’s the one person Dead or Alive you want to share your actual last meal with share

And bman calar they actually paid for this episode thank you guys yeah we love you we love you hey I’m Gabriel lsas that’s gabrielas if you have an accent and my last meal would be a grilled cheese on wheat with Spam and a six-pack of Diet Coke cuz why not
Uh pastrami uh chili cheese fries bacon wrapped chili cheese dogs and a keyme pie with Rocky Road ice cream for [Applause] Dessert every person has exactly two things in common we all got to eat and we’re all going to die today we’re joined by one of the funniest most prolific successful comedians of all time you can catch his soldout Dodger Stadium special Stadium fluffy on Netflix now he’s also the co-star of the
Magic mic series Gabriel glacius welcome to your last meal nice we all got to eat we all got to die that’s that’s pretty much it right there and and yes yes for the record I was in Magic mik I know it sounds uh like more
Like you was but no I was I was the only one that didn’t get naked I auditioned I think you took my spot actually that’s probably what happened right there that’s right they had affirmative action I want to ask you have you ever thought about your last meal before have I ever
Thought about my last meal every time I get drunk and I and I go to a hit a fast food restaurant at 2:00 in the morning somewhere on the road um you know I think everyone has had that conversation because at one point in time you wind up watching some documentary and they’re
Showing people on death row and it’s like oh you always hear those stories of like what did they eat you know what was their final meal and so then you guys hit me up and I’m like well I really had to think about it cuz everything that’s
On this menu are all things that I would normally have you know throughout the week but never all at the same time but it’s a great kind of self-reflection exercise like some of the cereal oh yeah after today I’m going to totally look at myself differently and and hopefully I
Make it home okay otherwise the irony we’ve yet to have an actual guest die but we were just talking like statistically it’s going to happen one day I don’t think it’s going to be on show number 14 or 7 or 25 or whatever this is uh but statistically it’s going
To happen that would suck right he died on his way home from his last meal it’d be great for views I’m just saying it’d be great for our views like it’d be bad but like if it’s already going to happen it’s like do you believe in predicting it man this would
Be like a Simpson episode how often do you think about death in general you know what I think it it uh it comes across my mind at least once a day you know it has to to remind you of how important life is and what what you know
What what’s important to you yeah so you don’t think of that as like a depressing thing but it’s actually a very life affirming thing uh a little bit of the two you ready to get in the meal I’m ready to get in the meal this is exciting let’s do this let’s
Eat all right Gabriel for your first course today you have the fried spam grilled cheese sandwich on wheat bread some American cheese some cheddar cheese Best of Both Worlds and then a six-pack of Diet Coke turns out they only make six packs in the mini cans now it’s BS
Shrink flation man it’s happening that’s that’s funny that I I have not seen the actual plastic that goes around the cans in so it’s been a long time we’re killing three sea turtles with each I I know I know right cuz that’s the main reason like you don’t see them a whole
Lot now because uh you know Plastics bad for the environment yeah no you know if it’s my last meal I don’t really care uh so well you care enough to have Diet Coke in your last meal this is your last meal you’re I mean you’re you’re going into the grave immediately after this
Like we have a plot for you in our Burbank parking lot it’s not you want but it’s where you’re going why Diet Coke even you know what even if it was uh the actual last last literally like that’s it for some reason I like the taste of it I actually enjoy the taste
Of it so if you were to give me a regular Coke it would taste like oh it’d be too much it would be overload on the sugar I would feel like I need to add water to it or something you get accustomed you get accustomed to the
Chemical taste of Diet Coke and the body craves it cuz it once to be like preserved from the inside out for some reason yeah I know that’s why people don’t realize it like you know I’m actually like uh 7 73 but I I look 37 cuz uh preservatives man GMOs it’s it’s
A beautiful thing my insides are very old but outside I’m so pretty shiny and new so pretty shine bright like a diamond tell me about the the grilled cheese uh well I’m going to tell you that I’m about to uh eat it cuz it’s here it’s in front of me it’s a grilled
Cheese sandwich and it’s made with Spam now some people don’t like spam because they’re like that’s like a baloney 2.0 but I grew up on it you know it’s one of those things where it just it’s not just a nice salty meaty flavor for me but
It’s memories of a childhood of a good time you know I had I had a great childhood and so yeah Mom see Good Times fam does what ham simply can’t or won’t or refuses to do and I don’t care oh my God it’s like a fun version of hot ones uh you know
What I’m saying it’s like you know no one’s on fire this is very comfortable it’s it’s fun it’s a better table I love your questions my I’m not I’m not bleeding this is way better all you got to do is answer questions about death that’s right like you don’t got got to
Eat spicy food you just got to indulge me in my weird morbid fantasies no no problem I can talk about death and eat Spam it’s all good oh yeah I was going to ask you what you think happens when you die but you already died cuz I read
On the internet and you can’t fake things on the internet I read on the internet and 30 million other people did too that you died from diabetes complications and then and then you came back from the grave cuz the manager wanted you to make more specials um I
Guess that first of all that’s a sign that you’ve uh you’ve achieved certain level uh of status yeah yeah because yeah they uh the internet killed me um I want to say what 10 years ago I think it’s about 10 years ago4 it was my first
Ever death hoax and um not the last well no I’ve actually had like three maybe four but after the first couple you ah whatever I’ll die again next year it’s cool I got to read a lot of comments and man some people like oh my God it was so
Touching like like he did this for my family and so much happiness and joy and then there was others like that were like oh it’s about time you it was only matter time that that dude was you know he was on borrowed time man you actually said something really
Touching on Facebook about the death Hox and I want to read it to you uh you said if this has taught me anything is that I need to enjoy more moments in my life and not get so stressed out about things I can’t change especially with myself I
Have people who care about me that I made happy in my life and in the end that’s all that’s really going to matter you stand by that yes wow I’m I’m I’m I’m a beautiful person you are a beautiful person I felt that I’m like wow that’s not yeah I wrote that that’s
Me that came from me you also said that uh when you do die you’re going to buy multiple plots next to each other so you can stretch your legs when you die and that to me is really smart you don’t want to die in like the Spirit Airlines
Of graves no you want to yeah right where you like and extra for the headstone and extra for the freaking cuz they’ll upsell you cuz that’s one thing my mom did she didn’t want anyone to mess up her funeral and so she went in on her own and did the plot selected a
Coffin selected everything the flower she did everything and I thought that was pretty hardcore like she did not want anyone to mess it up how how long before she passed did she do that I’d say about a year damn yeah um my dad did the same thing he literally was going in
For surgery but it wasn’t you know a thing where he thought he was going to die but just in case went to a funeral home got a quote for $1,500 and in the hospital thing that you have to sign it said do not pay more than $1,500 from
This place your dad was cut hustling he was cutting deals hustling he was cutting deals your mom knew exactly what she wanted and she got it man oh so then another part of me was like well shoot maybe I should just get cremated if I
Get cre made it then you know uh they’ll put me in a you know whatever an N right or a box or something cool and then I figured um leave me by where my cars are like I got a collection of cars and Volkswagens and stuff and I figure if
They leave my ashes there they can charge admission and it’ be like Mexican graceand you know like these are these are Fluffy’s cars this is where fluffy would blow it up in the bathroom this is the the gym fluffy Barely Used and here’s fluffy himself you want to hold
It people can take selfies with the earn and you know and you’re always out here hust but at least this way yeah even even a dep man you got to find a find an angle so Gabriel course number two we got the pastrami chili cheese fries this is like
A Southern California Diner classic we got fresh double fried fries uh we have a chili made with chiso homemade spice blend all that good stuff got some simple mild cheddar cheese on there and then of course some pami that’s been brazed in its own Jew right on top I
Wish you guys could smell how awesome this is this there’s yeah it’s yeah yeah it’s it’s really good and I I wasn’t sure if we we were going to be able to top that grilled cheese with Spam that grilled cheese with Spam was legit it was so delicious it was really really
Good I am woo this it’s most fun I’ve I’ve had doing a show say please man dig in we got the share plates yeah go to town go to town tell me tell me about why this is on your last meal like is this a special dish to you you grow up
Eating it well um this is actually you know I did I did not grow up eating CH chili cheese pastrami fries uh this is something I learned about later in life um one of my favorite restaurants to visit is a a restaurant called the hat
And here in LA and some of the best chili cheese fries I’ll take a drive over there to the Hat usually uh you know right around midnight which is probably not the best time to be eating food like this no that’s the best time to eating food like this but uh you know
Yeah that’s what Tums are for so I take my dogs with me and they’re all about this pami life so it’s it’s kind of a everybody gets a treat you’re feeding your dogs the sty you know what say what you want my dog I got one dog is 17 and
The other one is like 14 so yeah people say all the time you shouldn’t feed them human food I’m like well your organic dog is dead and my GMO dog is still alive so I if like one grain of food like falls on the ground she like the
Cat’s going to eat it I’m like the cat it’s the cat eats his own poop there’s nothing in the world that you can eat that is worse than feces and the cat’s doing that on the daily he’s going to be fine no I got to go Diet Coke for Diet
Coke with your Coke for Diet Coke this a sign of respect Salud salud I’m so sorry gab that was really rude as a host I got to be more professional I wasn’t it sounded like burp vomit I wasn’t sure what was about to happen right there I’m like oh he’s about to
The show I feel like a lot of people think of you as a very happy go-lucky guy and you certainly are you bring a lot of Joy on stage but do you think you’re deceptively darker than people give you credit for I got my moments
Yeah I think I’d like to think for the most part I’m a very you know easygoing happy go-lucky guy but things do stress me out sure and um you know we all have our ways of dealing clearly food has been one of those ways of dealing yeah
Um I like listening to music and I just get in my own thoughts and stuff like that um I know that in a room full of people I’m probably the quietest one interesting yeah and and you know I’m not that comic there’s a lot of comics that don’t stop talking they just want
To be the center of attention the whole time and they’re just loud and over the top and that’s annoying as sorry I’m if I’m not that’s annoy that’s annoying as ship we need ships they bring in our products into the ports support your local ship yeah cuz Ship
Happens um I I enjoy listening I think you you learn a lot more from from shutting up than by trying to be the the one running your mouth all the time you talked about being diagnosed with diabetes and you switch to a low carb diet you said you still eat fast food
You still get a double cheeseburger maybe three take off the bun take off the ketchup and people say isn’t cholesterol going to kill you you say yeah that’ll get me in 10 years diabetes is GNA get me in two I’m winning by eight years what do you think about
People who want to live a long life but not a happy life and how do you find that Medium every day I’m reminded because of medication that I take or for example like I wear this which measures my blood sugar uh I did not bring my
Sugar meter with me cuz I knew what I was about to do today sorry about that and and why why torture myself you know I know that as soon as I walk in the door when I get home that thing’s going to be screaming at me he’s like what
Were you I that you died think is that Kevin Hart did they give your blood sugar monitor Kevin Hart that’d be a good product man I’d buy that like when you got diagnosed with diabetes a doctor told you you had two years to live what were your like I think he was just
Trying to scare me cuz I’m like really dude how how can you guess like I saw the guys in the hallway waiting you know I’m like no no if I if I got two years they’re they’re they’re dead in 5 minutes but did it work like what were
The emotions that you felt when I think initially the scare tac yeah that’s when I off camera we’re talking about how I did yoga for a year yeah that was during that time where I’m like okay you know cuzz I did lose 100 lb yeah yeah you
Look oh thank you that’s right sitting up straight that’s you know but um I I I have had you know ups and downs and I think that out of everything in life the only goal I have not been able to meet has been losing weight MH and so people
Say well you know what’s next in life well you know sh maybe I’ll lose weight like really but if you if you lose weight you might not be funny I’m like eat I got to spend this money you know what I mean sorry you’re probably going
To edit that out eat eat a eat a dictionary eat a dictionary dictionaries are important because people need to literacy is key and the Gabriela ly foundation so eat a dictionary do you feel like uh pressured to change that to like set an example I know this is like
A really kind of like tricky subject and like you weren’t obligated to do anything but do you ever feel like that um I do feel like I’m not getting any younger and I feel like I am now before I could I could have that argument where
I’m like ah I’m in my 20s I’m good I’m in my 30s I’m all right and then I’m reading like you know when do people start having heart attacks and issues with this and that I’m like I’m there so uh I’m looking at it a little bit
Differently now and so for some reason now I find myself up late at night watching videos about intermittent fasting and and how the the benefits of a low sugar diet and this and that I’m like oh god really it is so much easier for me to get up in front of thousands
Of people and tell stories and be vulnerable than to freaking check my diet and I think that’s the craziest thing I’m like why does food have such control over me and every week I always meet personal trainers and and uh nutritionists that they want to get to
Me and they’re like I can help you I can teach you how to lose weight I’m like I don’t lack an education I know how to lose weight I know how to lose weight you know so I know what to do so I don’t lack the education I lack the motivation
That’s the part that I’m I’m missing so I’ve gotten so obsessed with working out that I’m standing up in between take stretching my back that I’m going to need a spinal fusion surgery to fix I’ve replaced one addiction with another are you more di Coke I feel
You Gabriel course number three sorry we got the wagu bacon wrapped hot dog covered in chili and cheese nice little soft Hot Dog bio bun it’s like a little bit fancy but but really keeps the spirit and integrity man and I see the smile on your face and it makes me
Excited oh man I just got to say this is my favorite show ever yes yes that’s what I’m talking about man this this has been the most awesome experience this like you know it it’s nice uh when you show up to a show and and you know in
The green room they have a couple snacks there for you that’s real nice maybe a Diet Coke or two uh it’s another one you know you got actually get to go on camera and enjoy something but usually the food is just it visually looks cool but it’s not really a good experience
Whereas here everything is is hot and it’s like delicious and this has been really really fun and I appreciate the um I don’t feel like I’ve been shamed at all I’ve been encouraged to live my best life I hope I don’t die but if I do uh
I’m going to Die full and and and big smile me pulling me out of the windshield like God this guy’s mangled look look his smile though guy this guy looks happy why does he smell like chili and SM delicious please man dig in all right so
Uh I’m going to approach this a certain way because I know this is going to be real messy so I’m going to I’m going to cut my hot dog in half because my goal is to uh be able to enjoy as much of it as possible and not look like I’m making
A porno so uh yeah there we go the hot do got stuck in the middle it’s what it’s really hot no no it’s stuck it’s oh it’s stuck stuck it’s stuck well I saw how you were eating it so yeah I’m not surprised I am not surprised I’m
Definitely going to need a lot of napkins after this but here we go Salo M mhm I don’t know how I got on my nose but I think I got it in my nose I want to talk about the beginning of your comedy career because you took a
Really huge leap of faith when you just quit your day job was it La cellular before his AT&T yeah yes um sorry I used to sell cell phones back in 1997 that’s early days I know I was working in sales I was making about five grand a month in
1997 I I was doing so good I even paid for my own cable I I could have I could have easy I knew a guy but I was like no you know what I’m a pay I’m a pay I could do but uh life was good man and I
I had just bought a car and uh so yeah to to give that up to pursue comedy and people say you know cuz in the beginning I was able to do both and I had the energy to do both but then you had to hang out and so sometimes I’d be hanging
Out until 3 4:00 in the morning and then I had to be at work at 700 and so rinse repeat you do that enough times and it catches up to you yeah so I quit my job thinking that I could make it and I found out very quickly that it’s not as
Easy as it looks but once I quit I refused to get my job back because I could have gotten my job back what do you think would have happened if you would have kept that job like I I know it’s kind of stupid to have that retrospective and look back and guess
But do you think you would have still wound up in the same position had you kept the cell phone job financially I think it’d be okay M I don’t know that I’d be this happy interesting mhm so for all those people out there uh cuz again this is a thing
That so many people you talk to especially in La they’re like this is what I do for work this is what I’m passionate about and they have these fantasies of leaving that day job to pursue their passion whether it’s crocheting on Etsy making earrings doing comedy screenwriting whatever do you
Think that you could like ethically Advocate just like screw it no soul God no safety net quit your job and pursue that passion so a question that I I get a lot is um what was your biggest break and um when I tell people my biggest
Break was the first time I decided to actually do it once I got up on that stage and I made the this is this is day one once I made up my mind that I was going to do it I was going to go all the
Way mhm and so I did bet on myself and of course everybody said no yeah you know and family was you know family is as supportive as they can be but when they don’t think that you’re going in the right direction and they see you giving up a job that’s paying you that
Much a month and they see how good you’re well off I had benefits I never had benefits I feel that you know so day one there’s different things that that you can invest in in life you can invest in stocks you can invest in real estate
You can invest in this or that but the most important thing you can investing is yourself and if you feel strongly enough that you that something’s a passion uh the only thing standing in your way is you yeah and so bet on yourself is what I say and you think
Even if that doesn’t work out cu obviously there’s only so many spots to be a famous comedian if it doesn’t work out even if even if you fail you still win because it’s a learning experience you are it’s it’s you know you’re you’re trial and erir mhm so that’s why
Whenever I see people make it right away I’m like oh that’s not going to that’s not going to go well that’s not going to go well cuz you have to establish that Foundation that struggle you need to have that internal struggle that I know
What it took to get here so I will act accordingly in order to try to maintain it do you think you take appropriate time to actually reflect on your happiness now that you have like reached what I’m sure is like a higher Mountaintop than you would have thought
When you started out in comedy do you take time to actually reflect or do you just keep moving forward to the next thing um I do a combination of the two um um it’s not more one than the other it’s just it’s always like all right cuz I’m
Always go go go yeah I mean you know I never know where I’m at but uh my favorite time to reflect is uh I I’ll go out late at night and I’ll take my little drives I like taking drives at night I’ll get the dogs in the car we’ll
Drive out to the Hat go get some pastrami fries and you know I will reflect I will just sit and listen to music and like wow okay you know and I think about things that either I’d like to do or things that I did in the past
That I enjoyed that maybe I want to find a way get into again M what’s one thing you did in the past that you want to get into again I’m I think part of me is afraid to just go out in public not only because of Co Reasons I’m I’m pretty
Much past that but my privacy is already it’s it’s gone whenever I go out somewhere I miss people actually not knowing who I am so that I could have a real conversation with someone who’s not like fangirling if the point of success is to be happy it sounds like you’ve
Gotten to the point where you are so successful that it’s almost negatively affecting your happiness if you can’t even go out in public is it like a golden prison it’s it is it is very much like a golden prison the Performing I I you know for for me I consider success
To be doing something that that you enjoy doing uh the comedy part me getting up on stage it’s my favorite thing in the world to do is to get up on stage and make people laugh other things that are cool that are part of that that fall into that that umbrella acting
Whether it’s on television or film or doing radio or doing interviews doing you know shows if it didn’t happen I’m okay if it does happen it’s cool but sometimes it’s annoying but I enjoy it I do love doing that um but I also miss having normal situations
I think people want to have a problem to solve I killed that whole chili dog man I’m man I’m on what you on am I ahe you and you talk the whole time no I think everybody wakes up a grenade everybody trying to say some profound
no I have nothing you just eat chili dogs you drink that coke one day you die some people make billions of people happy some people have a lovely Niche audience on YouTube and we love you very much I have not not enjoyed any of this this has been incredible from beginning
To right now the only complaint I have is I only have one soda left that more sodas that is the only complaint I have uh bring the diet coke fire hose uh gab for your final course right now we have a key lime pie we were going to make it
Ourselves but we got a better person to make it this is from Nicole Rucker’s fat and flour best keyme pie in the city in my humble opinion and then four scoops of rocky road ice cream uh dig in what’s the deal with keine pie just a fan so uh in
1999 I did a joke where I talked about how much I love chocolate cake and that joke I guess hit so hard that from then on people started bringing me chocolate cakes to the shows yeah even to this date I still get people bringing me chocolate cakes and if you had to figure
Out how many cakes I’ve received over the years it’s it’s in the thousands I’ve received thousands of chocolate cakes over the last 20 years you know it’s like I tell people imagine it’s been your birthday every single day since 1999 and every day two friends give you
A cake that’s how much cake it’s and people wonder why I’m diabetic yeah I’m trying to make you happy that’s that’s what happened I Tred to make you happy your life is so beautiful and filled with joy but it’s also this weird like fun house nightmare there’s an episode
Of The Simpsons where Homer Goes to Hell and the devil’s forced feeding him like donuts the whole day and he just keeps eating it that’s what this reminds that’s that’s that’s kind of in the right vein so the reason for the key lime pie is because after chocolate cake
I mean I no longer I mean I’ll eat it but it’s not like it’s my I love it anymore so I went in the complete opposite direction and I found out that I love key lime pie I love that tartness I love the sourness and and that’s a
Beautiful metaphor like one one thing sour for you you flip to the opposite you know it’s just a dance and God damn Kampai is great it’s so good oh God lying this is delicious this is delicious you’ve talked about being deliberately non-controversial and you said to younger comedians that
You should try and do that to try and like reach the biggest amount of audience but now that you’ve reached all these hyps do you ever want to say screw it like are we getting like a dark fluffy era cuz I would love to see it I’m a huge fan of professional wrestling
Mhm in wrestling you have the baby face mhm and you have the heel okay the baby face forever was Hulk Hogan okay growing up in the ‘ 80s he’s he’s the ultimate good guy say your prayers take your vitamins just you know real American brother and just everybody loved him I
Loved him and the craziest thing was he was the good guy for a very long time and um he reinvented himself by all of a sudden becoming the biggest bad guy ever he did a thing called a heel turn yeah everybody was like oh my God I can’t
Believe he did that that’s crazy and people loved him even more yeah for being the bad guy 100% so part of me feels like all right all these years of trying to keep a show that’s that’s friendly keep a show that everyone can enjoy and come out to staying away from
Politics staying away from religion staying away from things that are divisive part ofman feels like you know what one night maybe maybe fluffy doesn’t show up to the club maybe it’s just Gabe Gabe pissed you know and so I thought about it cuz people say oh well
Your show’s very fluffy no pun intended but yeah if you think of Comedy as like a very personal art form you know then like do you think that you’re repressing it all like this dark side of you yes yeah absolutely and I think that that
Would be an art form in itself to be able to find a way to creatively express myself and and get these thoughts out without them coming across like you know yeah yeah cuz there are every single day there’s something that bothers me I’m like do I talk about that and I’m like
You know if money is a main driver at what point is enough enough because I mean like listen I didn’t know your personal finances I barely know how money works I’m one of those like stupid people who just knows that I can pay my rent so I’m chill but I imagine like you
Got enough to take care of yourself your family your family’s family for a while does that keep you chasing I definitely um am addicted because I do feel like based on what I think I need I definitely have enough to stop sure the only reason why I buy dumb things it’s
Cuz I can’t sure I don’t need it I wish I I had more experience than than actual physical things and usually that requires me to get away from the thing that’s generating all the money generating the attention generating the opportunities and so that’s you know you you become part of the machine you’ve
Associated like monetary success or success in terms of of Fame achieving all these things and acquiring these things as like that is what selfworth is you know is that is that fair to say yes it’s very very that’s that sounds pretty accurate so if you’re not like achieving
Then what am I doing yeah of course I had no idea this was going to get so deep like wa let’s go to Modesto or something this got so deep I stopped eating ice cream I’m like yeah man bro yeah I’m good man you go on the road it’s been tough all these
Years I forgive you Gabriel I forgive you it’s okay it’s not your fault I got ice cream in your shirt something I don’t care I was going to nail myself anyway you ready to getting the lightning round we’re going right home let’s do it man I got a whole new bottle

Meal with who I don’t want to share yeah who’s your least favorite person Dead or Alive man it’s like all the all the genocidal world leaders there’s so many to choose from there’s the one person you don’t want to spend your last meal with I would say the person’s name but I
Don’t want to give them any any credibility or any platform or mention just cuz I don’t think they deserve it but they know who they are take that JK rling they know they know who they are Jesus there going to be a lot of people just be like oh when I gave him
That chocolate cake show I didn’t know he now now now the fact that I said they know who they are now I’m going to be like like like 50 people it’s like oh my God he’s talking he’s clearly talking about me lot weird text what’s the one

That I wasted time that I just you know that it was all for nothing kind of a thing where it’s like I don’t know it’s it’s weird like I always feel like I’m dreaming I always feel like everything that’s happening to me right now is a
Dream I’m like there’s no way this is real mhm you know it’s like I have multiple Snoop Dog stories I got stories about being around the world all my sto you know all these different people all these different things that I’ve done it’s so surreal and my fear is that it’s
All a dream what if I told you Gabriel it all has been a dream nice right 3 2 1 I released it now I’m at a Kmart parking lot like I got the vest on I got the the the shopping cart finally are you happy I’m very

Cig well hey um fluffer is a different profession very respectable but uh yeah very different fair enough very different see youall next Time hi I’m Maria Bamford and my last meal would be Diet Coke deep fried brussel sprouts Caesar salad pot roast and a hot fudge sundae I tell you everybody has exactly one thing in common we all got to eat and we’re all slowly dying Maria welcome to the show
Oh my God I love it I totally agree I’m deteriorating as we speak my neural pathways are growing slack with disuse I’m I’m actually genuinely becoming a part of the earth yeah do you think we should try and stop it like do you think we should devote the next at least 20
Minutes of Our Lives to thwarting death no no I I wouldn’t mind have having a sharp Blow To The Head that I don’t see coming but uh if I can get food first that would be lovely that would be a hilarious twist though is at the end of
This we just do a capital murder that would be a yeah that that’ get the YouTube views up I mean it’s been a good run you ready to eat your last meal yes let’s do it all right Maria for the first course we have a can of Diet Coke now we have
Chilled this inside of a cooler and then we have uh pulled it out with my bare hands it is an artisanally hand selected Diet Coke I very much appreciate it let’s let’s let listen to the freshness oh God that’s good nice tell me about the decision to put a Diet Coke in your
Last meal you are going to die feasibly tomorrow and you still don’t want the 140 calories of delicious corn syrupy goodness I don’t want it’s a it’s a personal thing from childhood my mother was always on a diet um despite the fact she was my mom was on a diet up until
She died my God yeah she and and you’re and you’re repeating the the process you weren’t like hey let’s let’s learn from this let’s just fall into it well Marilyn lived a good life um my mom uh she was in Weight Watchers up until the
Very end and that was the she was had stage four lung cancer and that was the first time she was below goal weight I said mom did you know even if the coffin is tight around the hips eventually it fits it does but she got herself cremated now she’s just a pound
Oh what’s the point if you’re going to get cremated you should eat anything and every well you should eat anything and everything you want for sure especially if you’re going to be cremated yeah but it’s a childhood memory uh in honor of uh of of mother I know that it’s somehow
Probably destroying some part of my innards but the way I think about is there so many preservatives in Diet Coke that if anything you’re kind of mummifying yourself from the inside out and you can probably live forever yes my dad was a pH it was a physician and uh
He would always encourage us to eat anything you know stuff with mold on it stuff you know that you’re just creating uh you making yourself Stronger Faster uh more powerful do you think it’s worked like knowing all the data that’s gone inside your body like do you think
It’s working I’m still here that’s what’s up V one mle all right Maria for course number two we have a kale Caesar with a caper dressing parmesan cut into little triangles and croutons you said in an interview in 2015 that you were quote really into the kale with Caper Caesar
Thing and described the cut of the parmesan so we wanted to recreate whatever memory I’m sure you don’t do you remember that interview oh I remember the Caesar salad that I had that was one of the best Caesar salads I’ve ever had it was in South Australia
I cannot remember what city was it Adelaide yes perhaps Adelaide I lived uh I lived in Adelaide for 11 years cuz I dated a an Australian clown that’s real yeah it’s real oh my god um anyways lived there thought it was going to work out of course it’s a clown um it’s not
Going to work out um it was Roma lettuce and then they did a softboiled egg up top and then they mixed it for me at the table what I feel bad about not doing the soft oil leg now no now I the show’s but that’s also about I was also semi
Hypomanic at the time you know we don’t know what else was going into that salad this is a truly experienced salad I’m on all my psychiatric medications so I’m I’m really here for this salad this is the self-actualized salad yes exactly I’m so excited please dig in I just
Drank a bang energy so I think I’m approaching hypomanic oh yes yeah yeah I had a Nitro cold brew so everything’s Ride the Lightning looking great m oh it’s very tasty it it’s very nice like perfect Savory with a a little Tang you’ve been on Food Network before
So you have practiced like judging food I like I start laughing cuz it was different circumstances with which you were on Food Network can I tell you I was hired to do worst cook celebrity edition which is a real stretch to call me a celebrity but uh the point is they
Didn’t let us eat our own food I made like this meal of a eggs benedict and I said oh I bring it back to the hotel with me you know to enjoy cuz I slaved over this they one anyways just behind the production just let you
Know do you know what the reason that they wouldn’t let you eat your own food is I don’t know they said no it all has to go in the trash and I’m like I guess maybe they thought I was going to take a picture of it and put it on social media
Or something and I was like no it’s going to go right in my tum tum and then people could fudge the betting odds for celebrity worst cooks and then they could make billions of dollars in Vegas it all adds up it all makes sense this is delious uh and you’ve been married
Now for 7 years uh 7 years I believe maybe it maybe eight we’re not I I’m not clear I feel like it’s documented right there should be like a no there is well we got married twice got once married uh in our backyard and then once married my
Mom did a full show and we got uh married at a place called Castaways in Burbank where they do all the food for you yeah and Castaways rules I love that place so great plenty of child beautiful do you think being married though for seven or eight years whichever it is has
Made you a more optimistic person has it shifted the way that you think about death yes well I know that it can happen at any time now I I would like you to like to know uh what is you had death in your life just speaking off camera your
Parents died um does that make you think about the last thing that they ate or what they enjoyed I I think so I know the last thing that my dad ate my dad uh died during a routine heart surgery when I was 19 and the last thing we ate this
Isn’t sponsored this is from Black Angus Steakhouse he had a ribeye with the onion rings and then we got a sight of cheese sauce to dip the onion rings in and you know what I would go back there and eat the same meal in a heartbeat um
But yeah we were talking about how this show was just me in my way to process my own thoughts on death the only panic attack I’ve ever had was me thinking about death after my dad died and I started crying in bed and so I started reading books about it and then having
Other people to talk about it with me um yeah and so this is lovely and your mom I I’ve had friends and family di of suici did your mom pass away from suicide or uh she did yeah but it was uh we were EST stranged for about 10 years
And then I sort of heard I got a call from a sheriff’s office actually um and so that’s also a part of this don’t know what oh no I do know the last thing she consumed oh wow oh it was break fluid we can that was how she did it
Yeah that is that counts as the last meal I’m not sure well I’m so sorry obviously she had a mental health uh issue and uh it is is a a heartbreaking thing to happen and to have happened and uh let’s uh I’ve turned it into art you
See Maria I’ve turned it into beautiful art of a kale Caesar salad I believe she would have wanted us to enjoy this and if not in your face suck it Mom I’m Maria course number three we have deep fried Brussels sprouts it’s been added to some bacon and shallots de
Glazed with apple cider and red wine vinegar oh my C Christ yes we did it we got her to say the c word the other one the the C sorry the C well I could say the c word too that’s your word to say take it back uh reclaim yeah see you
Next Tuesday what are you doing next Tuesday uh having somebody look at like oh my God is that good thank you oh my God tell me about the connection to Brussels sprouts why this is the last meal that you’re going to eat I’m we’ve started with so many vegetables I love
Vegetables now here’s some more ins I I uh I was Bic as a child from about the age of 11 to 21 what a white one I didn’t want to I didn’t want to say but you said it for me you know I was like I could have told you that I
Lost interest in my own narrative um I’ve always been a fan of vegetabl cuz that was one of the things I would let myself eat and um but I it still it took and now I love vegetables and I love the whole deep frying of vegetables that has
Happened in the last 10 years just like reclaiming the sea you’re like reclaiming vegetables to be like outside of the eating disorder lens yeah oh God like this is garbage for it I mean this is just bacon the the shallots actually soak up all the Bacon Fat so all that’s
Still in there it’s great one it’s like it’s it’s like a full protein right it’s like a full um and it just so you know uh I have been cleaning off Bia for about 25 years so high fives all around um do you get a chip for that do they
Give you a chip for well if you go to 12 step programs they certain will give you a plastic disc that means so much um no and and it does I mean great job Maria you donate 11% of your earnings to charity you and your husband do as well
You offer uh tickets to people to your shows for free if they can’t afford to pay uh we actually when I told somebody at this company that you were coming on they’re like oh I attended one of her workshops where she like went over the details of contracts and how not to get
Screwed you seem like a really freaking good person do you think you’re a good person cuz like you should um well I’m from Minnesota uh so one of my dad’s favorite quotes is by Bella abzug which is don’t be humble you’re not that great and um uh yeah and
I I all the time you know especially you I’m older I’m just a bag of bones and a hank of hair and I you know say things on social media I’ve been definitely called out for saying things that were uh hurtful uh that I of course didn’t
Nobody means you know most people unless you’re uh the a devil you know don’t mean to be hurtful but um you know I’ve had to or need to learn you need to learn things in public sometimes and that’s okay anyways I I love I love talking about numbers just because uh
It’s emotional it’s very or at least for me it’s very emotional um you know comedy isn’t unionized and so nobody knows what anyone’s earning yeah and then you it can be very confusing when the the amount of money hasn’t caught up for 30 years for a middle act um so if
You see a middle act at a comedian at a comedy club that you’re uh in your area uh usually they’re making maybe uh 75 bucks 50 bucks a show the headliner may be making 10 to 20 grand uh What uh I not that they don’t I mean everybody deserves everything but it’s just
Interesting like it’s just like well I I would certainly like to to know that I mean I don’t think it’s just interesting though I think you have this moral imperative you know most people just be focused on just getting that bag but the fact that you’re focused on them to me
Signifies moral imperativ well and also my sister says that uh I’d like to have a give Cam going all the time that uh you have you ever seen those there’s some YouTube videos where people are like show themselves like saving a homeless person for and you’re just like
Why don’t you leave people alone like buy the guy a house and not talk about it but uh so I wonder if some part of it is yeah some weird sort of ego trip for myself but uh that’s nice of you to say yeah it is important to but I do
Want to try to be a good person but I I’m sure I’m failing in some way let me know on Twitter ber Maria in the comments of this video right now hi Maria here we have pot roast with sauerkraut this is a chuck roast little baby Dutch potatoes carrots sauerkraut a
Little bit of German Beer de glazed in there yeah this is wonderful thank you so much I course yeah please dig in okay you uh you you said that your mom’s pot roast in 1977 was the best meal you’ve ever had well my mom will make pot roast
On the RS she also make this wonderful casserole which had mayonnaise tuna green beans and then those little crunchy noodles on Top This is called the Minnesota special yeah that’s a casserole M and um it was so good it was so good um I just made hamburger helper
For myself and my husband the other night the genuine pride in your eyes on that made me so happy yeah I was just it’s it’s very good it and the directions are so clear and you know what’s going to happen and you know that it’s going to you’re going to feel kind
Of sick after you eat it and um you’ll probably put on 2 lbs of water weight uh with 24 hours but so good that’s honestly something that I I respect about you a lot is your almost love of what I’d call benign mediocrity I Ben benevolent benevolent mediocrity this is
Another word I I am not a snob at all I love 7-Eleven offerings anything from a truck stop if it’s old I’m still interested um you you grew up Christian and Minnesota Christian which seems like a very specific brand of Christian uh but you now I believe identify as
Atheist how has that changed your perspective of death or did you never buy into the Afterlife because I had such mental health problems as a kid when I was nine I you know started being to kind of uh compulsively pray to God for help and then there was no help forthcoming
Whoops um yeah I just I didn’t really buy any of it or it never seemed like a comfort to me so uh yeah I assume that what happens is that you just die and I don’t really understand the idea of like oh I I’ve got to be good now because
It’s going to be even more amazing later like why don’t you just be good now to be good now you know like why this whole yeah carot and stick sort of thing like I I don’t know but but that’s me being judgmental which is probably why I’m not a
Christian and now you’re going to hell of course of course of course no but I do you wish you had that afterlife cuz that’s a huge Comfort to me like when I’m laying in bed and I’m thinking about death I’m obsessing I was like if I could just truly believe I grew up
Around a lot of Evangelical Christians a lot of Mormons and seeing the True Believers was so awesome and I was like I want to be you did you ever have that oh yeah I love a cult I love oh my God my God it’s such a relief like oh let’s
All wear the same stuff and say the same things in unison and you know not commun yeah h no it is wonderful join a cult for 7 Days get into the Seventh Day Adventist just seven days full on like all in do the whole thing and then pull
Out but it’s pulling out a Cults is famously difficult though that’s the thing they don’t want you to do but this is if you know that it’s just temporary that you’re just trying to give your brain a little Charter membership or like a little jingle jangle where you
Just kind of go oh I just want to you know um just kind of get myself out of something I love I do love 12-step programs which are Cults yes and the reason um I like them and and the language kind of goes over me but but they they’re number one free number
Three number two not number three number two free number three they can’t kick you out that’s one of the main rules of the group whereas church can kind of kick you out yeah seen it happen yeah but I can go to a meeting and you know
With a bottle of Jack Daniels and I eat ice cream cake with a stolen porn DVD and people will just say keep coming back Maria oh my God is is good it is really freaking good so what happened with your mom she was estranged and then it was either schizophrenia or like
Bipolar to okay my grandma tried to do the like ultimatum like hey I’m going to cut you off financially unless you actually seek diagnosis um and then she just kind of fled yeah then for 10 years we actually found her um picture in a newspaper that was like uh feeding the
Homeless people of Alexandria Virginia and we saw my mom in the photo and someone sent into us which was a crazy experience yes yes and then I would get the occasional LinkedIn message from her don’t know why LinkedIn was the yeah I I don’t know I have no idea I have one
Friend with schizophrenia who uh that’s yeah that’s such a it’s it’s such a frightening one cuz it’s like you feel like you can’t communicate with someone when they’re ill you can’t communicate it and then they don’t or some of the symptoms are I’m fine yes yeah and of
Course the like everything else is they’re having the delusions and mine is yeah yeah mine is the real thing um and mental endless runs in in your family as well right was yeah my mom had some she never said that she did but she had some
Um U manic episodes and that’s a mom that’s a mom thing to do if I ever heard it oh I’m fine no I just want to go down to the Twin Cities and spend $10,000 on coats all right Maria the final food you will have before you die like not to
Jinx it is a hot fudge Sunday the ingredients are hot fudge ice cream peanuts hot fudge ice cream peanuts hot fudge ice cream peanuts whipped cream cherry topper yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I had to control myself to not imitate you do cuz I was walking around going hot
Fud ice cream p and there I am imitating you um but dig in okay yeah I’m going to try the cream up top oh yeah yeah yeah the hot the hot fudge is homemade too we we we did it we did the damn thing M my
Dad uh tried to go to Dairy Queen today they’re closed down it’s too much snow in duth um Minesota problems I blew his mine and I had Dairy Queen delivered I got to ask you about the significance of the peanut buster parfait from da que cuz that’s what this
Is modeled after of course um how how special is that to your life my dad we go get a peanut poster parfait it was celebratory of was usually after church you know where you done your time and you could go out to Dairy Queen and there’s no Dairy Queen here in Southern
California so you got to go to fa Foster Freeze which is dirty Dairy Queen uh it is just like Dairy Queen but she’s a little dirty yeah yeah well she’s old she’s been around the block a little bit and there’s nothing wrong with that we still love our Foster Freeze Queen yeah
No oh my God and she’s not corporate man so you can like get whatever the hell you want hey can you just stuff a piece of steak in the middle yep they really will they have no morals or boundaries there and I love them for that I got to
Ask you about you you have a series on Instagram called reasons to stay alive for 2022 and they have included such things as toddlers on rope that say hi to you which is very fun you seen that where kids you have to be kind of in a town District near school and
The kids they’re all like 2 3 years old they all are holding on to a rope because they haven’t don’t have all the social anxiety that you developed as your brain uh gets older they’ll all say hi beautiful I could stick around a little while longer just in case it
Happens the third time what if it happened again and did it with the fart machine it’s like well that’s still going to be there so you should probably not the fart machine I believe it’s called the fart machine 2000 you can get it off of the horrible Amazon but you
Know why don’t you support a local retailer and your local artisanal fart machine perve of course uh yeah it’s wonderful it just gives and gives and gives it’s funny every day you seem to endorse friends and family less than the fart machine in this series oh yeah my delivery at
Saying reasons to stay alive for friends family you know because if you have mental health issues your friends and family are sick of it like they are they are burnt they are done they do not want to hear about it anymore don’t kid yourself should we go
Into the lightning round yes oh my God okay yeah what’s one more reason to stay alive in 2022 candy and what I mean about that is that you can teach a young child about candy sometimes there are children in your area and of course you’re not left alone with them never be
Alone with a child learn that one but uh if a child is being raised by someone who says oh no we just don’t eat sugar you you teach that kid about candy yes I’m all about corrupting the youth uh what kind of food would you want to
Serve at your own Waker funeral uh well it’s going to be a comedy open mic I’ve decided that cuz I I attended the funeral of a comic who had died of suicide and it became an open mic where people went long everyone’s going to get three
Minutes you have a tight three for a death wrap it up there’s be someone with a light at my my funeral and then so I guess nachos nachos chicken you know chicken fingers well Comedy Club a deep fried pickle oh that’s good all right uh one person in the entire world alive or
Dead that you could share your final meal with oh I think my dad or yeah my dad or well and my husband my god oh that’s a hard one and the other one dies my dad would understand I think my husband would feel bad if I didn’t yeah
So I think I think my husband yeah do you have any regrets in life yes all of them right oh my God just life is all regrets people who say no you’re so stupid what’s the top three I had a friend who died of suicide who um I felt
Like I really let down uh yeah and they died being mad at me and so that J yeah number two uh let me see uh being uh sassily mean to people uh on stage like people who Heckle or or you know are just drunk or whatever I’ve definitely
Said some mean things um to people on stage that I now regret which were funny but also unnecessary and unkind you know why not have some curiosity say oh where how did you get here I know how I got here tonight what made you make out with your boyfriend in the front row
Uh it seems like an odd place to have sex but I love it um I offered you a third one you don’t have to those are two really third thing that I regret um I think just not being more um having more friends I just I was very afraid of
People and largely because of OCD but um also I had some weird ambition within me where I was like I’m going to make it in this world uh what I found out uh later is that Ambi you just you get the thing that you wanted and then oh you have
It it’s not that great it’s not that exciting great segue into the last one uh are you happy yes you seem so happy I I do feel happy did also have a Nitro cold brew before I came I’m on just keep drinking them you’ll keep being happy
Depote uh squel at psychotic Prozac uh but yeah I I and I’m also I I’m done I’m 51 uh you know uh I don’t really need to accomplish anything more in as far as I’m concerned I I know I my manager might have something to say about that
Which is why we’re incredibly grateful that you’ve come on this show despite not needing it at all you didn’t need to do this at all why I do need other people like I need oh my God yeah I need to commune and be a part of the world
And uh yeah for sure I mean this is enjoyable for me I’ve had a great time but in terms of oh do I need more success I I don’t probably not cuz you know once you’ve had it once you go oh I see I get it and you still got to like
Yourself cuz that’s where you go go home with so um anyways Maria if you could look into that camera right there tell the people what your last words are thanks for everything and I’m sorry I’m sorry too I’m sorry for all this but I’m not I’m not I I’ve had a really awesome
Time thank you truly so much for for giving your time and your Insight and your wisdom and your compassion honestly no no no thank you so much this has been life I I cannot I told my husband about what this was and he was just like what

Day of my life our lives our our lives I’m excited this isn’t the typical run of the show by the way we typically have an intro but I think if we just keep rolling and I can deliver the intro let’s do it okay I’ll do it to
Yours do you want to do it okay so it’s uh uh well it’s weird that I’m telling it to another person I I’ll say it in the camera but then oh not about me you’re talking about me what no we’re talking it’s just it’s just uh everybody
Has two things in common we we all got to eat and we all got to die listen everybody’s got two things in common we all got to eat and we all got to die and then you would say Ben Schwarz welcome to the show Ben Schwarz welcome to the
Show this is Josh the chef and also he’s really bulking up right now he’s on an off week right now but he’s really trying to gain muscle mass I wouldn’t call it de lo and off week it’s trying it’s like sorry it’s de lo it’s a reset his nervous system needs to reset
Today’s a huge day for Josh a huge day for me and then I heard we’re going to try to and tell me if this wrong Josh put all this in my mouth at the same time yeah now you can opt for the Smoothie option and we’ve only had two
Guests do this before but it’s where you take all those dishes and you blend them into smoothie and then you get a bonus piece of lasagna at the end if you drink it all okay I’m not going to do that is your last meal is something you thought
About before never and it’s funny because I love going to like a nice restaurant or restaurant that makes me comfortable and happy or like because I tore my improv show I get to try restaurants in every city that I go to it’s a piece of the thing like I’ll take
My performers out to like a restaurant that someone told me was amazing blah BL so I have restaurants but I’ve never thought about what would happen if I was thrown in jail and only had one chance do eat my favorite meal but here you are I mean you had an incredible an
Incredibly curated list we’re going to do a lot of this so details cam should get on this I know this is my can we cut to this real quick if you don’t mind I used to play a lot of electric keyboard and so it’s just really is that true no
I’m sorry I lied to you you don’t have to lie do you think about death a lot um I do I’m very scared of death it’s the thing that I’m the most anxious about myish yes yes and you’re Jewish do you want to deliver that to the camera okay
Earlier yeah yeah I’m Jewish um because you’ve been hiding it this entire show no that’s why it was I I did something super weird earlier when you said what’s your last name and instead of just telling you my last name I said what are you trying to sus out right right right
Yeah and are you Jewish I am yeah full Jewish uh mom mom that means mineal mat do it to the lens my mom is Jewish uh and so uh no because one of my questions is just Why are we like this o and there’s also a lot of are you lactose
Intolerant uh no but I think it’s just because I I’ve princess brighted it a little bit where I’ve just been shoving so much garbage I mean Monster energies you know a little bit of poison each time back from college oh wow okay so I don’t have the digestive problems but I
Definitely have the Neurosis I have the digestive problems this today will be this is my like this is like Gladiator this is me going against all the biggest beasts coming at me I can handle one of these meals at a time the idea that we’re going to have a bunch of these is
Like just it’s like um I can’t even express to you how difficult this will be in the long it won’t be it’ll be fine for now and then an hour later it’ll be like Super Smash Brothers you know like 100 people are fighting each other but it’s my stomach that all the characters
Are fighting this is the American Gladiator judaic room the Jewish American Gladiator is just and you’re ice and I’m Gemini then we’re going to be great let’s get shot with some weird tennis ball cannons today all right Ben for our first course today we got breakfast we have the
Pancakes from John and vinni’s we got some Nutella and some berries on the side plenty of butter and real maple syrup slathered on there we have a cheeseburger oldfashioned Smash Burger from burgers Never Say Die an awesome spot with the fries as well and then a mango CO2 coconut water for the
Hydration for whatever is about to enter our bodies today yes this is incredible are we allowed to do this yeah crack it open oh uh the code word eat I asked Josh what the code word is when we’re allowed to eat eat you have to yell at
So this is a great question also by the way first of all one of the very few Jewish people in the world doesn’t like mustard also don’t like pickles s not likeing pickles is tough how do you get your silverware out can I show you how
Like a real oh sorry can I show you how like a boss gets their uh utensils out I yeah real fudge and boss ask me ask me tell me it’s time to eat I should get my fork and knife eat that was smooth man that’s body control we do this cuz we’re polite
We’re polite boys trying to be polite we are polite boys indeed okay uh please dig in I’m following your lead okay this is what I’m going to do I’m going to do breakfast first because we’re going through everything yeah okay John and Vinnie’s great place to get food great
Place to get breakfast almost I’ll say Sundays uh uh in our house Sundays it’s either Vin or Republic that we try to get um do you want me to do you want me to cut you some no if you don’t mind I’ll just like mirror your sort of moves
On the what can you slow down though yeah of course well how big of aite you can eat that whole okay it’s bulking season man we talking about and by the way you as a chef will know this better than I do but it’s so much about the beautiful syrup it’s
Insane how do they distill the essence of every dad has made one pancake that is better than every other pancake they’ve made in their life this is that pancake is every pancake cuz I was going to ask you like why do you think about death so much yeah death scares me I
Think I’m I’m scared of it I think one of the biggest things is parents dying that would be scary I’ve had there’s been a lot of I’ve uh encount like I I’ve encountered a lot of death in my life right you’ve had like peripheral deaths around the the parents yes in the
Past few years especially for some reason it’s been a very unlucky whatever but um yeah parents for some reason has always been like my biggest fear because I’m so close with my parents my friend Sam R had told me this thing that scared which was terrible where do your parents
Live I like my parents live in New York he goes okay so how many times a year do you really get to see them I was like oh I probably get to see them you know three or four times a year like if I have worked down there if he goes okay
And they’re how old and I told them how old they were like all right let’s say your parents have blank amount of years left and you see them three to four times a year or something like that that means you’re only going to have this many encounters up with your parents and
It like made me so sad and terrified but anyway these are pancakes from John they’re good right God really good I think it’s cuz there’s a lot of butter no but that that um that I I love humans so much I love my family so much the
Idea of that loss I’m not ready to deal with that yet have you dealt with a loss of someone that close or no I have wait can I can I add more buildup before we talk about that thank you for the empathetic question eat a hamburger oh
Eat thank you and what we have right here so I love cheeseburgers this is something I must tell you before you tell me something very sad which I assume something very close to pass so the question is do you want to give me this news before I talk about what’s in
This no I’d like you to talk about the cheeseburger and then as you’re eating it I’d like to it feels like this is something you’ve shared in the past so it won’t be as brutal to not to all them they all know you don’t know it though
It’s not like it’s not like crazy like I’m not like your son like I didn’t this isn’t right it’s going to revolve around death and it’s going to make me very sad hopefully yeah so this cheeseburger right here I am uh someone who loves I’m
Going to open it for you so you can see also I’m going to take off the pickles so nobody Mak put put them on me put them on me oh yeah oh you don’t have to but of course I want to I love burgers
And I have like a comfort food when I go to different hotels and I’m on a job or um I’m performing or something like that it’s a cheeseburger fries and a ginger ale that’s like that’s what I go that’s what I get at hotels and then um so I’ve
Tried like a billion types of cheeseburgers and then I love Burgers Never Say Die here and my friend Phil Lord from Lord Miller was the one who turned me on to him and I love him so which family member di both mommy and dad but this one’s about this that’s
Not true is that true oh it’s true it’s true this one about dad though mom’s story is sadder but Dad has more connection to a movie that you made that made me feel very comforted you did a short film called I’m a mitzah yes have you seen that I have seen that before
You knew I was coming on the show absolutely not are you kidding me no I’m just good to my job Christ I watched I’m Mitzvah recently because I I knew it roled around how old were you when she passed away um this is he it’s about dad
Keep up Dad sorry 19 dad 19 wow so it’s 19 um there’s a scene in IMA Mitzvah it is about a Jewish man who is recovering his friend’s dead body in Mexico and his Jewish the the friend’s Jewish mother is screaming at him it’s all about to me
Somebody who doesn’t know how to process death which when it happens to you somebody very close to you you don’t know how to process it there’s a scene where he Googles stages of grief while drinking alone I did the exact same thing that my dad died oh my God because
I was like I don’t know what I’m feeling I remember once just binge eating at a Tha restaurant I drank a gallon of Thai tea and then went to 24-Hour Fitness at 2: in the morning from 2:00 to 5:00 and just squatted how with the this is how
You dealt with your feelings with the death yeah and it was it wasn’t a conscious Choice it was just like you’re so tied to food you’re all these emotions death and food are like such a beautiful thing here yeah do you find a cathartic revisiting uh death in your
Life or revisiting how people passed away are you finding this to be something cathartic or are you finding this to be I’ve talked about enough watch the other episodes Don’t or you know what I mean what do you think what do you think it is for you the great
Thing about YouTube right is that you get so much direct response all the time it’s also the bad thing about YouTube anytime I share something about my life roling around grief or loss or whatever and how I dealt with it it’s only people going thank you so much for sharing that
Because we all deal with these things we’re you said you’re scared of death and I went wow who is not are any of you not scared of death you’d be insane to not be right six people just raised their hand this is insane and the Grim
Reaper is eating a burger right now I remember I had Gary shanon great comedian very very profound man incredible I was very close with him the best he passed away pretty recently but he had he told me this thing and he has talked about it publicly so I can say it
And it won’t be weird but he had this thing where he said he got in a car accident and he um felt his body float out and see he could see himself and then he said someone whispered to him when he was in this process do you want
To keep living Gary’s Life and then he said yes and he went back in his body so when he got into this accident he almost died and he said he had this moment and when he told me that I was like that’s terrifying that’s the closest thing I
Have to anybody who’s ever been close to and by the way maybe that’s brain synapsis hitting in a certain way maybe that’s not real maybe that’s your brain trying to deal with what’s happening and not knowing how to you know Cobble all the pieces right now but nobody knows
What happens and that’s terrifying of course it is it’s the one thing are you very religious or no no not at all I I grew up like very reformed Jewish um and Judaism in itself is pretty fous are k no it’s not come on no
I I was going to say it’s it’s pretty nebulous around the afterlife you have you know shol and vague concepts of like I thought you said you have shehulk you have sh She-Hulk I think you know God is a woman and and She-Hulk is her name and I think that’s beautiful
What are what are you going to say to shehulk when you see her in Hill I Love Tatiana we get her on the phone right now she’s the best it’s name dropping son of a my God you name dropped Tom Hanks before we started the thing I
Said hey what’s your name he goes Josh I met Tom Hanks oops do you want to start by telling me what the foods are sure of course you have to call me Ben though sure Ben you ready are we rolling everybody fantastic okay I’m going to be Josh right now Ben
This is what the foods are this is a pet pep pizza from Hail Mary I think it’s called pep pep right and the reason why this is exciting is it’s pepperoni but it also has honey on top M have you ever done that before I have done that before
Shut and I I really okay over here we have this is like a Grandma’s Bubby bread from all time all the most interesting thing about this if you don’t mind so all time the the reason why this is so exciting to me first of all the all time is great and
It’s like a feels like a mom and pop type place and like it’s just I love I love going there I love the people there also but the bread is so good and this is just so delicious and this and also it’s like this we’re varying levels
Price then this is at a place that’s too expensive this is from cppa right yeah this is like when you have an anniversary or like someone turned 100 this is like one of my favorite things in the universe this is truly cuz it’s a bit expensive I don’t get to go
There very often but or are you turning 100 uh not yet maybe one day may I ask you to eat this first yeah I would love to thank you can I ask you to close your eyes when you eat it uh can I ask you to shut your mouth

To sit in a Subway is like what a special what a special treat that is you know what’s so funny I was just talking to my therapist about the idea of nostalgia love love the I was a Psychology major I love therapy and mental health and all stuff like when I
Started doing improv it was me Adam P who’s a great comedian and gill oeri who I think is the funniest person in the world we were doing three person improv and nobody would have us on stage and I was an intern at Upright Citizens Brigade so I can get free classes cuz I
Couldn’t afford them and so we would wait till after I did all the garbage and recycling and everybody was gone and then we would ask if we can go on the stage when nobody’s there and just be on stage and do improv for nobody for like
20 minutes and the manager who is Alex cittis or chuck doble would be like come on guys we got to go home and we would beg and go fine 10 minutes and it would just be us in front of nobody in the audience and I like found myself so
Nostalgic for that when nobody cared about us and we were just making each other laugh and I was wondering what it was like what the connection of that is and um my therapist put out maybe it’s the idea of the Simplicity of it all how
Simple life was back when you were a kid no responsibilities didn’t have to worry about money didn’t have to worry about you know uh all those things and I was like I thought that was interesting do you go to therapy no do you think I should how many both of your parents
Pass away mhm do you think it’s something that would help you or no I I I did one session with a therapist that one session of I didn’t one session I they immediately recommended they like you should be doing ashwag gandha and you are autistic and have ADHD and you
Should be doing acupuncture this is within 15 minutes of meeting me that’s not possible you didn’t go to a real therapist you went to someone on the side of the street oh we haven’t even eaten this we got to eat this we’re run these are great things to talk about I
Mean what’s the demographic you said mostly 90y olds watch this mostly 90y olds yeah it’s actually my grandma in her nursing home I have a grandma that’s alive oh I don’t have any grandmas there we go all right I’ll share mine with you thank you so mean so mean what do you

Great people uh if I put this here does it ruin everything it does keep it right here we can well we put it back here we like to just stash stuff there okay cuz this is this is also something I I would i’ love to see you eat cuz this is one
Of the harder things to eat without getting it everywhere let’s see if you can let’s see if you but try to be as neat as you can pretend this is like your what do you what’s like your dream job I know you’re probably doing it but
Like what’s like a dream scenario if you could be eating with somebody and you want to impress that person who would I be for that uh uh the Mike Row the host of Dirty Jobs thank you so much for me dirty jobs is fantastic I love that you

And talk about Cash Cab to me they talk about Dirty Jobs can we talk about something else okay okay um what’s the capital of Malaysia it’s not come on man well I was imagine that you’d ask me that in Cash Cab what is the capital of Malaysia you don’t know you’re the host
Of Cash Cab yeah well Alex Beck wasn’t super smart either okay so look feel like he was this is the problem misogynistic but no he he uh was he smart did you ever meet Alex one of the few celebrity deaths that that really hit me hard um what’s great question too
Robin Williams crushed me Gary crushed me cuz I was friends with that was crazy to hear through a website that someone you care about passed away and then we had a chain where we you know we chat to each other and someone’s like this is a
Bit right what’s going on and so like we all Tred to like call it was so strange was that kind of a beautiful thing the fact that you didn’t know if it was a bit or not or just really it was terrifying it was terrifying cuz I was
Like okay and then I’m calling him nobody’s picking up I’m like oh and then we all went to his house the next day when he wasn’t there to like gather M there was a great moment when um after Gary died it was the day after and I had
Eaten dinner with two people who were very close to them I went back to my apartment and this is when I I was living in West Hollywood and there uh I I said okay this is silly I L I was by myself and I said okay this is silly
Just okay Gary if you can hear me and I go this is so embarrassing and I started making myself laugh I was like if you can hear me right now if you can hear me I don’t know why you would be in this room why with me you have so many more
People you care about more but if you can hear me show me a sign and then it was like and then nothing happened and I was like uh and then my guitar fell my guitar went ding yeah and I cracked up so hard because if it wasn’t him it’s the he
Would have found that so funny you know what I mean so in my head even though that wasn’t him that moment to me would have made him laugh so hard mhm to me it’s like man if you’re not laughing you know you’re going to start crying so
Might as well do the former right that’s true I likeed a lot tell me why you love this why I love this uh fasha right made with a ton of whole grains typically you get a really refined wheat flour on that but then the key is right you get all
The salt in the tomatoes and then when you marinate it in the olive oil with the balsamic we actually made this by the way this isn’t from the restur discontinued the the thing we got the bread but we did all the rest of it okay well it’s delicious it’s the juice from
The tomatoes that like marinates is there balsamic somewhere inside there as well delicious so the bread is them and everything else is you guys mhm but that just soaks into that bread amazing quality great job so you can sell this now and we can sell it now for $13.99 oh

Janonis when you coming home again we all miss you here that’s amazing how did you get that we called janonis and we asked for a Scott can I aird drop that to myself to send air drop anything from my phone to yourself and these are just
Pictures of you so just so you know I’m scrolling through this is pictures of you I actually don’t know what’s in there I’m kind of tops no bottoms this is the tops no bottoms like I’m working on my quads we asked him exactly how he makes it so he coached us through as
Well as possible did you talk to him uh Nicole talked to him and so you don’t cook I do cook not for this choke CU I’m busy we can get Nicole can we get Nicole Nicole did you get to talk to Scott Nicole had an appointment to make but he
Did talk to Scott and she told us that he was delightful and she fell in love with him actually Nicole’s she’s uh Shabbat she’s actually observant all right so this is going to be your version of that we tried okay it’s great by the way the barbecue
Sauce is almost perfect what is it what do you do with the barbecue sauce I think it’s equal parts sweet baby raisin water it’s a bottle we tried to do what they’d be using in you know it tastes like it tastes like a McDonald’s barbecue sauce a little bit which is
Like the best barbecue sauce in the world um are you more careful about more careful did I say that right are you more careful careful are you the Christmas careers they go around the careful about the song about were you saying sorry I literally thought I
Just passed out cu you just said the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my entire I don’t think it was that stupid it’s funny it’s like you opened your mouth and like jelly beans like a slinky came out that’s how stupid it was like a little clown no just came out now you’re

Given that like Buffalo chicken Vibes you like that better than this mhm this is going to be sloppy too oh yeah it taste just like it I’ll take that man that’s a huge complain oh my God I wanted to try to it’s a little salty tell Nicole it’s a little
Salty I should have got that I should have just I was trying to tell Scott gon that he should open up a sandwich shop here just get all the things but I think all his ingredients are New York e things that makes sense we we do love

Taiwanese restaurant huge fan George dearo was my math teacher I got really him and I felt like had like a nice little Bond he was great if you thought you B with your math teacher you probably didn’t oh that’s so we have this Curry from girl on the goat this is

A play on papum right here which is really incredible scoop up the curry you say po Papa papadum you know what’s funny in the third in the fourth quarter so after I got into Union College in math I had math was my you got into
Union yeah no bit where did you go you don’t know what union is right no no so um when I got into Union College a liberal art school in Upstate New York um I uh got in and I was good at math and I had A’s up until third quarter

Friend like we were friendly and uh he gave me a d he the lowest grade I ever got in high school because I did that and he goes I told you and I was like all right anyway George Cara uh we ate gonis I had a teacher who was basically like
I’m going to fail you and then this is really good this is the best so this is Pine and cream and this is from girl in the goat so this is when I did my first on Chicago someone said you got to go girl
In the goat and it was one of the best meals I ever had now there’s one in Los Angeles so it’s very very tasty love it this is a goat dish goat you got to get a goat dish at girl in the goat I feel like although there’s a lot of real good
Stuff not a lot of girl dishes I’ll tell you what uh what’s your favorite animal to eat that was like an anti-cannibalism joke but I don’t know if it came great question what’s your favorite animal to eat I don’t know I mean I like cheeseburgers that’s just ground be too
Hot for you you didn’t no I said I I mouth the f- word but we can keep that this is one of the best Asian things I’ve ever had it’s incredible girl the Goa is really good I wonder if they really turn it on when they know it’s
Going to be on camera good have been we I don’t know if we told them actually oh it’s so tender it’s so tender but you’re loving can you talk about your love making on camera real quick because your fiance said it’s very tender like the girl in the gohost stelf what did that
Mean well I think it’s more of an emotionally thing cuz I think when we’re we’re we’re physically communing it’s actually emot look at me talk about your experience with your experience making love to my you and I are very connected when we make love Yeah correct here are
The things that I actually tell myself I feel like I can eat for 30 more minutes tell me how comforted you are okay I’m going to do this for real literally everyone in history has died if they can do it so can you that tries to make you feel more
Comfortable yeah I realized I’ve never told anyone this before and now I’m getting this like oh God although by the way I guess there I by the way that brings it minimizes it like it just it it feels like everybody’s going to die you’re not special in this yeah okay I
Like that number two assuming you live to the median age by that point you’ll be ready to die you will if if anything want to die so but you’re not at that median age yet no so now you’re not ready to die no God no oh my God are you
No I hope not have you ever been have you ever had a scare where you thought oh my God I could die right now or a situation you and no uh I thought I had testicular cancer but it was an inguinal hernia I don’t know what that means but
I’m happying too hard that you’re intestines get you’re huge you don’t have to keep doing this your intestines end up in your scrotums there’s like a lump and so yeah I of course I thought it how do you get it back in they just they just go in there and they just poke
It back in and then they sew a little net three three the massive dimethyl tryptamine rush you experienced before death could create an inception-like world where your Consciousness exists forever oh is that a thing yeah you were talking about Gary Shandling yeah um that could have been dimethyl tryptamine
Uh I only know this cuz my raver roommate used to make it in our um um freshman what is it is there a street name for that DMT they call it so you go to hyperspace have you ever lucid dream before no never properly like never fully my fiance got the narcolepsy
Though so she does she is narcoleptic there’s no good way to explain to a bouncer when you’re picking up an unconscious woman out of a bar that like no I swear she has narcolepsy and I her fiance number four number four the alternative to dying is living forever which is even
Worse I don’t think it’s comforting but I I love that it’s on the top five right yeah this is it’s getting towards the bottom yeah yeah your top three were very like introspective and deep thinking then four is like immortality is even course number five this is huge
Everybody number five so this is the last one and this is actually um courtesy of our mutual friend Tom Hanks who you write letters too and from you get letters from him as well I got a letter from him but it was only six words and it was just Josh you should
Read I think you should read no he seems very sure seems very he said the only thing in the world that who said Tom Han said Tom Han said yeah yeah when you interviewed him here yeah yeah we talked a lot about death this is the thing that
People do now which Against All Odds right just on the page can you just can you just do it one more time for me this is huge the only thing in the world that has no empirical proof is what happens when we die so I don’t waste a minute
Thinking about what it’s going to be so basically the smartest people in the world have thought about this and tried and not a single person has ever gotten damn close so why spend time on it why spend any time on it interesting like are you going to figure out cold
Fusion before the smartest people in the world D proba so embarrassing and you could talk to my you could talk to Jil and uh I literally fig figured out cold fusion right before I got here Jillian you’ve been sitting on cold F really Jillian Jillian didn’t I figure out cold fusion that’s true
See Ben this is the final course how are you feeling I feel fantastic this is an incredible show and who do you want who do you want on who’s your dream guest it was you but now you’re weird it was Tom Hanks and then it was then it was Tom
All right so anybody who wants to come on Z I’ll tell you the address Zack Eon yeah got to be so good I would love to mash muscles do some muscle Mas Mas muscles that what they say m cuz he’s kind of like a smaller like little spoon
Type and I’m kind of are you calling out Zack Efron right now saying Z Efron little spoon Challen no but he’s like but he’s like you just called it the little spoon challenge yeah there’s nothing right you’re putting the judgment on little spoon then from Jenny’s we have this is factors right
Here we have a black and white cookie from factors this is one of my favorite things this is one of the best black and white cookies and I’m going to give this to this camera here this is one of the best black and white cookies I’ve ever
Had and then these are from repu I wanted to put republique on the list which part can I touch you can touch all of it you can touch all it which is real I know some of fake only the nipples are implants actually okay this is that’s
Real you like 100% not real uh these are this is from republique one of my I really like eating there too I like the idea of that we could talk about our favorite you don’t have to flex where we talk I was talk about just nobody you get a
Pic did you get a PP if I have like a nude scene I’ll do I’ll do like uh push-ups or sit-ups or something like that but also if I know I’ve seen them before the movie I work out just watched you in a sex scene but go well it was
Almost good no you’re describing the foods sure so this is okay so right here is from republi I think this is called the bumol bumbalo I think bmon and this is one of my favorite ice cream places we have two favorites McConnell’s and this is Jenny’s ice cream here is the
Gooey buttercake one I think right and it is a delicious dish and you said that people that gave you stuff for was nice for the most part right they’re all super nice yeah no uh the manky from republique uh fantastic been family friend they’re not family friends stop
Lying to them dude just stop lying to them take a breath take a breath just take a breae through your nose breae through nose breathe out through your mouth it’s stuffy yeah but stop flexing so loose arms loose arms loose arms you have too much tension in your muscles
Look at me of course I have too much try your hardest not to flex okay ready yeah breathe in through your nose okay your chest no can we eat the damn cookie B eat the cookie okay great this is what I do you got to cut it in half sorry for touching
It do you mind if I okay okay so you cut it in half and that way you can have this is a problem because I mean they’re almost like a cake like that’s what a black that’s exactly right but now you can have both at the same time
M I had this last night mhm how does it feel this morning after all this great it feels great Jenny’s is probably my number one but McConnell’s very very close to great and there I feel like other places their ice creams aren’t cold enough and and I feel like I could
Explain that scientifically but it’s weird was there a was there um something that your mom or dad had said that stuck with you like you said something that I know it’s incredible like you had said something like my dad like um you know people will say like good things happen
To good people or like um all those things is there something that your parents had said that stuck with you and meant more after they passed Away no great so just make something up yeah it just really help the edit your director tell I’m trying to think I’m trying there must be something do okay how about this okay so is there a moment in your head that you can really clearly see or replay a lot when you’re
Remembering that person yeah I don’t think there’s any greater meaning to it but it was the thing when I picture my dad he um he is is one of his final jobs he eventually became a public school teacher oh my mom’s a public school teacher hey that’s very cool but before
That he was clearing snakes off of a runway for a small airport is that true yeah yeah and I used to uh and I used to he got it like he was like homeless for a time and battled back it was really wow but it’s him in a Ford Bronco
Teaching me teaching me how to bash a snake with a shovel come on get it off I swear to God I was like 8 years old and he would like I’d have to hide under the uh like passenger seat of the Ford Bronco because like you’re not supposed
To have a kid at this job that’s weird also for Bronco the time the shadiest car you could drive truly truly truly this would have been late ’90s like it was in that in that era wow so you killed you killed animals together only because sorry I can’t hear you being
Disgusting right now no I told you I could almost hear you but you’re being I told you nobody’s more disgusting than me also this balone my God see now what’s your favorite we should have gone through the meals and ranked them 1 through 10 is that something you guys do
BuzzFeed quiz yeah and by the way I’ll tell you what Power Ranger you are once you tell me what how you rank all right you ready for the lightning round lightning round J other than me who’s the one person Dead or Alive you’d want to share your actual
Last meal with oh it’ be family it’ probably be my family one person sorry that was clear in the question one person oh Dad mom sister so I have to pick a family member one person one person Dead or Alive Dead or Alive oh
This is good so I feel like I’m so close with the people that I love that they kind of Voltron into one person and I would love to eat with that one person of family family Voltron is actually the most common answer we’ve gotten so sucks well who’s your dream eulog at your
Funeral what a great what a great oh that’s so sad eulogizer uh singular great eul but that person has to know who I am then I guess yeah depending on what you want from a eulogy I guess this is crazy I’d probably want it to be you no oh
Well um who would win in a fight Sonic the Hedgehog or Jewish superhero Sky Bloomberg oh Sky Bloomberg that was Larry King he passed away he’s dead yeah di do think he is can I tell you something and Jillian who’s here I think was there I remember the last time I did
Larry King’s show he felt something felt different something felt different something felt different right and the man has been through a bunch of strokes and stuff like that and it was my third or fourth time doing the show and he was always lovely and um and so we said
Goodbye and I was on my way out and my friend who’s also my publicist Jillian I said you know what I think I I have to go back in and say goodbye one more time cuz I have this weird feeling I’m not going to see him again no way and I gave
Him a hug and I thanked him for everything because I had this weird feeling that something was wrong and he just wasn’t telling people and then he died really soon after that’s so crazy I never would have thought that anyway Sonic the Hedgehog okay I was going to
Ask like so is that great uh what’s your greatest regret in life well my greatest regret is probably eating all this food because when I go home it is going to be a travesty well that leads me and I’m lactose intolerant so this is like a
Huge mess name point to all the things that my lactose intolerance will have hurt this this easier to do the ones that it wouldn’t fries no uh yeah french fries great that’s about it um all right Ben are you happy I think I am happy I
Think I am happy yeah I think I am happy I think there are moments of sadness and there are moments of doubt and there’s moments of stress and moments of panic but I think um I think my kindness and my happiness kind of goes above that
Just a ratio it’s like a ratio satis yeah yeah I try my best to make other people happy I see the thing that you’re talking about selflessness the type of Comedy I do is long form in my goal in a scene is to make you look good if I make
You look good I’m going to have a good scene and now you’re known as like maybe the preeminent improv artist in America God deliver it to this one and now you’re known bench Schartz as maybe hey can we talk about where I’m performing September 23rd we plugged stuff at the
End of the show and we I had another bit to do great keep going yeah Ben I’m so happy because you ordered the Smoothie option with the bonus lasagna can we get the smoothie and the bonus lasagna in here there is you said at the beginning I apprciate blended all the leftovers
Into a smoothie and a traditional this is not the leftovers into a no I think it’s various lasagna ingredients it was done as a bit though if you want to try it no it’s all right it’s all this is just really good lasagna if you want to take a bite it’d
Be mean a lot to me is there something weird about we made it for an episode earlier someone that’s not Josh look at me is there anything okay yeah yeah it’s a it’s a uh I can’t wait who made it uh me and Trevor uh no no not me like all
Of them I don’t make anything anymore just Trevor Trevor do you mind if I have it Trevor can you tell me can you come on camera and tell me what’s in it um yeah so it’s a so it’s a three me Ragu B and then it’s also got a bashal inside

I’m not going to throw up I’m holding it down and Ben if you have any last words deliver it right to Dylan’s camera right there oh you know what I say uh they wouldn’t be my last words but something that I say to people that are starting
Out in comedy because a lot of people ask me uh when they started a comedy I thought this was helpful was uh take a risk fail learn from that failure and then repeat get back up you got to take the risk you got to fail you got to
Learn and you got to get back out there and if you love it you’re going to keep doing it and you’re going to keep getting better I mean that’s a lot of words we’re thinking like a catchphrase like okay okie doie see you in the morning did you figure out the meaning

Stoked for this marathon 😁
No Jada? lol .😏😏
Probably a good choice not to mention Ms. Smith anymore…
Dr. Pepper used to be cola flavored with prune juice. So it was like Prune Coke.
just another excuse for josh to make it known he knows Tom Hanks….
The fact that Fluffy is 100% correct about him coming up first when you look up fluffy 😂
2:17:34 Tatiana as SheHulk was great but the show sucked… she’s Beyond GORGEOUS. I hope she gets another shot at playing SheHulk in a bigger team up movie
My mind is still absolutely blown that they were able to get TOM HANKS to come in and do a Last Meals
WHERE THE HELL IS POSTYYYYY WHAT????
2:32:51 I’d rather be Immortal than live an entire (yet limited) life in fear of things that COULD kill me, but probably won’t.
This show is so amazing and Josh does such a great job with the questions. Please get Gordon Ramsey on this! With the incredible food that you guys make, he will be so impressed!!
An insane stack of awesome guests .
Damnnnn what about my favorite? The Jada smith episode 😭🤣
Ben & Josh, Still to this day my favorite LM gathering of two charming gents.
58:45 Yeah I can see him try to rob a bank but it quickly be a joke. Like the cops wouldn't even arrest him because laughing too much.
Been watching since time immemorial. Happy holidays everyone!
This made me realize that Last Meals is the chill, existentialist cousin of Hot Ones 😂
Love Tom Hanks. Loved a man called Otto. The same day I watched it I made my husband sit down and watch it.
the woman lived there 11 years and can not remember the name of the town wtf??
I literally had a conversation last night with a buddy about how a long mash up of the best "Last Meals" would be amazing. Can you guess how I felt when I opened YouTube today?!?!?! LOVE it
i need more Brittany and Josh content😭🤍
Tom Hanks seemed like a super down to earth cool person, especially for an absolute legend actor!! Great interviews sir love the show.
My favorite guest was Jada Smith, ya'll remember that episode?
2:20:00 Mike Rowe tries and fails to embarrass veterans. Hes not a real laborer
Josh definitely gives quirky best friend vibes.
jada was my favorite one! that was soooooo much fun right guys?
