It's Cookbook Obscura. This show is all about finding an odd recipe, grabbing an odd friend, and eating odd food together. This week, our guest is Noah Levine. Noah is a theater artist, improviser, and podcast host based in Philly. His shows include Noah's No Show Show, The N Crowd, The Talkin' 2024 Podcast, and Dying Message, the Detective Anime Mystery Podcast. So, um... Aubrie, you will be very proud of me because over the weekend, I went to a drag Taylor Swift brunch.

Aubrie 1:19

Oh my God, that's amazing. Where was it?

Ralph 1:22

At City Winery.

Aubrie 1:24

Oh, nice.

Ralph 1:27

Yeah, it was impressive. Four, count them, four drag queens, all different versions of Taylor Swift. It was an hour and a half of music. I don't know the lyrics too, but everybody else was having a lot of fun. People were dressed as different tailors. The only one I recognized was the one where she was wearing like a tie-dye t-shirt and like glasses. Oh,

Aubrie 1:53

Maybe lover, like you need to calm down? I don't know.

Ralph 1:57

I don't know. I don't know. I'm... woefully unprepared for Taylor. But it was fun. It was a lot. Everybody was into it. I gave a lot of ones to the Queens and they really enjoyed it. So.

Aubrie 2:10

That's amazing.

Shannon 2:12

Did you get 13 ones? Oh yeah. 13 ones. That's

Ralph 2:16

I didn't. I only had 10. Why? Should I have given three more?

Aubrie 2:19

That's her lucky number and her birthday. Also. What? Sisters are huge Taylor fans. So I know. Oh, wait. Sorry, we're having some sound issues here. Hold, please. So what I was saying, so Taylor's, I don't know what just happened, but. Oh no, one of the cats escaped. This is the most chaotic opening. Oh no. They're all in, right? Cool. Which cat? Hootie, Maya. Who do you think? We just saw Dorito, so I don't think it's him. Yeah. She often is right by the door, but she's never made a move. So, but yes, Taylor's lucky number is 13. When you go to a concert, you like paint a 13 on your hand. That's the, that's.

Ralph 3:12

That sounds like a cult to me.

Aubrie 3:14

It's a cult, but like a fun one. It is a cult. It's like a fun, cool cult.

Ralph 3:18

That's what they all say.

Aubrie 3:20

Very easy listening cult.

Ralph 3:22

Sure. Music's better than most cults, I will say.

Aubrie 3:25

Very plaid, very chill.

Ralph 3:29

And one of the queens, the host made up the lyrics to, look what you made me do. Look what you made me do. It was about how she eats cheese, but it doesn't work well for her. So it was like, I think I have to poop. I think I have, and it was a whole song about her eating cheese and not making it to the bathroom in time. It was great.

Aubrie 3:52

Oh my God.

Ralph 3:53

Swifties were into it. Super relatable. Yeah. Super relatable.

Aubrie 3:58

That's amazing. I think I saw that advertised. I wish I would have known you were going. I want to...

Ralph 4:03

It was a last minute thing. We, on Thanksgiving, my brother and sister-in-law and their neighbors were like, oh, we're going to this thing. You guys should go. And we're like, okay, great. And like literally bought the tickets at that second. So it was two days later that we went.

Aubrie 4:16

Nice.

Ralph 4:17

It was great.

Aubrie 4:18

I loved it. Shan, have you seen any shows of late? Have you seen any like... I haven't seen any drag shows of late. I miss them. What was my last? I went to a Harry Potter themed one once. That was really fun. Yeah. It was very fun.

Shannon 4:34

I don't think I've ever been to one.

Aubrie 4:37

No?

Shannon 4:38

They look very fun.

Aubrie 4:39

Yeah, we gotta go.

Shannon 4:40

We don't have any in Bucks County. Yeah, that's not

Ralph 4:45

Drag center of the world, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Aubrie 4:49

You heard it here first.

Shannon 4:51

You heard it here first.

Ralph 4:52

Breaking news on the Cookbook Obscura podcast.

Aubrie 4:55

They have a drag brunch at the Panera in the shopping center.

Shannon 4:58

In Feasterville.

Ralph 5:02

Feasterville, the epicenter.

Shannon 5:03

The epicenter of drag brunches and Paneras.

Ralph 5:07

Speaking of LGBTQ plus.

Aubrie 5:08

That's what all the good words say.

Ralph 5:10

Speaking of LGBTQ plus... Our guest today, not a drag queen, I don't think, but he's patiently waiting in the wings. Oh, let me introduce him for realsies, because I have his bio up and running. Another big get for the holidays, folks. Just so you know, we're batting 1,000 on the show. He's a theater artist, an improviser, podcast host. He has a couple podcasts. One of them, I was on the Talkin' 2024 podcast, which we're going to get into. Also, Dying Message, the detective anime mystery podcast I was also on. It was a lot of fun. And now he is on our show. Please give a warm... Internet, welcome to Noah Levine. Noah!

Aubrie 6:03

Hello, Noah! Thank you!

Noah 6:05

Thanks for having me. Yeah, it is. I got your name wrong when you were on my podcast. It's the ethnic names. Yeah. Oh my gosh. How are you doing? I'm doing well. Oh my goodness. We're in the December season. The holidays are so close that why not be already here? Right. Thanksgiving happened just five days ago. Yes, it was. Oh, my God. Feels like yesterday. Yeah, yeah. And I cooked chicken for maybe the first time in my life.

Aubrie 6:44

Whoa.

Noah 6:45

I don't know if I've ever cooked it before.

Ralph 6:47

You just eat it raw, usually.

Noah 6:51

No, no, no. I've just, you know, been around other people that have done the cooking of the chicken. I've cooked many other things. Are you averse to chicken or you just haven't cooked it? So we don't eat a lot of meat. I grew up keeping kosher and I still keep some degree of kosher. So I sought out kosher chicken for this dish. And most of the time we just do vegetarian fish cooking. So I've cooked fish. I've cooked vegetables. I've cooked soy proteins, seitan

Aubrie 7:19

Ooh, nice.

Ralph 7:20

But never chicken.

Aubrie 7:21

Thank you for doing it for us.

Noah 7:25

Yeah.

Aubrie 7:25

Sorry.

Noah 7:27

Well, when you have a cookbook where every recipe is chicken, the alternative is what? To not be sexy?

Aubrie 7:35

Yeah, yeah.

Shannon 7:37

That's not an alternative.

Ralph 7:39

That's not the alternative.

Speaker 01 7:40

You can use any alternative you want, though.

Ralph 7:43

So forgive my lack of knowledge, but this is what the show is here for, for learning. So when you keep kosher, I thought that just meant for red meat. That means any meat and dairy. Y

Noah 7:56

Yea h, so meat includes red meat and chicken, quail meat. Duck, goose, other poultries.

Ralph 8:06

All right, that's way too fancy for the show.

Noah 8:11

Yeah, so it is strange because you can't have a chicken parmesan, and yet the literal verse in the Bible that all of this is derived from is about boiling a kid in its mother's milk, and eggs do not produce milk nor cheese, or chickens don't produce milk or cheese, but... Yeah. Meat came to be, chicken came to be regarded as meat and now, yeah, no chicken parms.

Ralph 8:35

Now we're all paying for it. What about fish? Does that count?

Noah 8:40

Oh boy. No, but sort of, sometimes.

Ralph 8:43

I didn't mean to open up a can of worms, sorry.

Shannon 8:45

Sometimes?

Noah 8:46

No, traditionally you're supposed to keep the meat separate from the fish. Like people follow more or less of these rules depending on how observant they are. Yeah. but no fish you can have with dairy and meat you can't. So fish is not meat.

Ralph 9:06

Okay.

Shannon 9:06

So can you have fish parmesan?

Noah 9:11

Sure.

Shannon 9:13

I'm just saying, try it. Yeah.

Noah 9:18

I have put cheese on a salmon burger and that worked.

Shannon 9:20

Same thing.

Aubrie 9:22

Nice. So yeah, basically salmon parmesan.

Shannon 9:25

It's exactly the same. There's a reason I'm not allowed to cook,

Noah 9:29

I think people go to eggplant parmesan before they start parmesan-ing up the salmon or the tuna.

Aubrie 9:36

Fair.

Noah 9:38

One thing I do enjoy when I was having them was McDonald's makes a really great filet of fish and that has cheese on it. So yeah, I'm a sucker for a good filet of fish. Yeah, we would go to McDonald's and like a family of five getting five Filet-O-Fish sandwiches.

Aubrie 9:55

That's amazing.

Ralph 9:57

No shame in any of that.

Aubrie 10:00

I've never had one, weirdly.

Shannon 10:01

Not even on Lent?

Aubrie 10:06

No, we just had pizza in my family. That's our go to.

Ralph 10:11

That's nice. Yeah. So going back to your bio, Talkin' 2024 is your ongoing, as of this recording, your ongoing year-long podcast, which I thought you were insane for trying, but it was a lot of fun to be a part of. Can you tell our listeners a little bit about the concept and the execution of said podcast?

Noah 10:40

Yeah, so I am... motivated to do lots of strange things, and I like marathons, and I like calendars? So the idea that I developed and was really excited about was to record a whole year's worth of podcasts in a row. and figuring out and having them released like one week at a time throughout the whole year. And as I figured out, wanted to figure out what to do with that, it's like, well, for releasing them one week of the year, why don't we just talk about what's happening that week? And then what happens is you're recording all of them over three days in November for an entire year, but you have no way of knowing what's going to be happening that year. Our political commentary was very vague. which I think was helpful because it was better than listening to actual political commentary on things that were actually occurring. And we talked about some movies that got released and we talked about some movies that may never get made that were supposed to be released this year. Um, and yeah, it was three days in a row, like morning till night, 53 different guests. Ralph was number three. So his episode came out in January and we have four episodes left to release. So I, you can tell that like my brain is working differently than it was 49 episodes ago. Um, so it's a really, it's really fun time to kind of tune in hear what's happening that week we think, meet a new person and hang out and chat and, uh, Yeah, a lot of people that came by that helped. Each season, there was a different co-host that came for 13 episodes. So they all brought their own segment and their own personality and kind of filled in for me when I was like, what it... What page are we on? What day is it?

Ralph 12:29

What page of the calendar? Yeah, I was third. So I was there when you were all fresh faced and excited about what would come. So I'm glad I was there for that and not the tail end where everybody was dragging themselves to the microphone. My episode was like the week of January 14th, I think. So it was like, we talked about the Emmys a lot and all that other stuff because they happen around that.

Noah 12:55

Your anniversary.

Ralph 12:57

My anniversary. That's right. That happened that week. That was nice. What else? Oh, yeah. what the week of the election that just passed. Oh my God. We're not going to, we're not going to go too deep into that, but was there, was there any, did you have any predictions that came true from that week?

Noah 13:18

I always forgot to like nail people down on predictions. Sometimes we try to predict the weather. So, I mean, we, we were like Biden and Trump, who's going to win, who's going to win between Biden and Trump. Oh, that's right. It was, this was, you know, November 26th when we recorded the episode and, you know mostly just how do you cope with politics and you know that sort of thing did we predict anything no I think the biggest thing I predicted was that occasionally I would refuse to be certain about anything and so I was like well we don't know who's going to win the primary we don't know what's going to be happening because a year ago we were so certain already about what was going to happen but that's not fun.

Ralph 14:05

No, it is not. Speaking of predictions, there was a prediction online, mainly on TikTok, because that's where I live right now. But there was a prediction that today, December 3rd, when we were recording this, there was supposed to be this giant alien sky battle. I don't know if anybody else heard of this. This guy made a prediction that there was supposed to be this giant alien, not invasion, but some big pitched battle was supposed to happen over the skies of the United States. And I mean, there's still time, it's only 7.30, but you know, I don't know. How do you feel about aliens and wanting them to have a battle over the United States?

Noah 14:53

I think it would be interesting to know about aliens, but we have everything to fear and nothing to gain. I don't know if that's true. That sounds like a phrase someone has said.

Ralph 15:04

I think, wasn't it nothing to fear and everything to gain? Well, I mean, either way it works for aliens.

Noah 15:13

But yeah, you just hope that they're like the tiny kind or really nice, that they have a cookbook of 50 chicken recipes and not a cookbook of human recipes.

Aubrie 15:28

Yeah. I hope they're the pizza planet aliens personally, but that's just me. They're tiny and nice. That's why I kind of wanted to, you know.

Ralph 15:39

Absolutely. Yeah,

Aubrie 15:41

They could be cool.

Ralph 15:43

And also, well, these aliens are coming from the ocean. So they're not technically aliens. They're earthlings. I don't know. We could do a whole podcast about it.

Shannon 15:53

Ralph, what are you watching?

Aubrie 15:55

We changed our podcast. You heard it here first. Ocean aliens. The ocean alien saga.

Shannon 16:04

Are you sure you just weren't watching Aquaman?

Ralph Andracchio 16:08

Maybe.

Aubrie 16:09

Might just be Aquaman.

Ralph 16:10

Maybe. Not to step on any DC toes, DC comics, but Aquaman, especially the second one, no, I don't recommend it. Thumbs down. Not great.

Shannon 16:23

No, it's not.

Ralph 16:25

Jason Momoa, always wonderful.

Shannon 16:27

Absolutely.

Ralph 16:29

But, you know, no.

Shannon 16:32

There's been better... movies.

Noah 16:37

Better movies about um people swimming in the sea probably.

Aubrie 16:40

Yeah what was the way there was one with like Jodie Foster where she's a coach it's called like ne...

Ralph 16:49

Oh uh uh Nyad.

Aubrie 16:52

Oh yeah I know that yes it's not like it's not like a comic book movie but that's the only movie I could think of that had a person swimming.

Ralph 17:01

Right.

Shannon 17:02

I mean not Splash Or the Little Mermaid.

Aubrie 17:05

Oh, Splash, yeah. Well, there was some, yeah, he falls overboard.

Shannon 17:08

Well, yeah, she becomes human. It's a whole thing. You know, it doesn't matter. The point is, there are better movies about people swimming in the ocean.

Noah 17:16

Yeah, Ralph, was TikTok predicting the final climactic battle scene from The Little Mermaid?

Ralph 17:20

Oh, possibly. With Ursula? Yeah. Oh, that would be great.

Noah 17:25

Ursula and Triton coming out of the Ocean.

Aubrie 17:27

They were aliens this whole time. That's wild.

Ralph 17:33

Were Ursula and Triton like a thing? Did they ever date?

Aubrie 17:36

Th ere was some tension, I feel.

Shannon 17:39

There's definitely tension. I mean, maybe.

Ralph 17:41

Yeah.

Noah 17:43

Does every Disney villain date the father of the protagonist? Like secretly in the backstory?

Ralph 17:50

Well, Scar and Mufasa were brothers.

Aubrie 17:55

Yeah.

Shannon 17:56

So he definitely could have slept with...

Noah 17:59

I think adopted. Oh, well then. Okay. Then they probably slept together. Because the, the prequel movie is coming out this week. The live action Mufasa film.

Ralph 18:09

Can we stop it?

Shannon 18:09

We're about to find out.

Aubrie 18:11

It's wild. It's wild.

Ralph 18:15

All remakes are

Aubrie 18:16

Yeah.

Shannon 18:17

I have questions. Who's doing, who's signing the adoption papers? Like, they live in the Sahara. I just have questions.

Aubrie 18:25

Yeah, rightfully so.

Shannon 18:26

Like, who said they were, like, who adopted it? Like, did Rafiki, like, is Rafiki, like, the adoption coordinator? Like, I just have...

Ralph 18:38

He's a notary.

Shannon 18:39

He's a notary, right? Yeah.

Noah 18:42

He does stamp things.

Shannon 18:44

All right, exactly. Well, yeah.

Aubrie 18:45

Timon and Pumbaa could have an agency.

Ralph 18:46

.Oh, shit, that is true.

Aubrie 18:49

Oh, yeah.

Noah 18:51

Not enough notaries live in trees.

Shannon 18:54

That's just life. That's the life truth.

Aubrie 18:59

All right, friends, should we get to the recipe?

Ralph 19:02

Yes.

Aubrie 19:03

Should we eat and chat some more? Tonight we cooked chicken breast strips with balsamic and rosemary. Serves two to four, unless you severely minimize the recipe like I did. So yeah, we got some garlic cloves, we got some balsamic vinegar, some fresh rosemary, some kosher salt, some red pepper flakes, some olive oil, and some chicken, as always.

Ralph 19:29

This is the simplest recipe I think we've done. Yeah,

Aubrie 19:32

Yeah, so thank you for choosing it, because it can get tricky.

Noah 19:36

Yeah, it definitely had half as many Ingredients as some of the other options. And I was like, I don't have a ton of leftover ingredients.

Aubrie 19:45

Fair. Yeah, I only had to get rosemary because we've cooked so many now that I have like a bunch of cinnamon sticks. I have like the dumbest things in the history of everything.

Ralph 19:56

But it's good to have a stocked kitchen like that.

Aubrie 19:58

Yeah. No, and it comes in handy when you're cooking like for 10 episodes. So usually there'll be some double up.

Ralph 20:06

That's true.

Noah 20:08

Mine is over here.

Ralph 20:09

Alright, I'm going

Aubrie 20:10

You're going in? Yeah, mine's severely cold.

Noah 20:20

I arranged mine silly on a plate.

Aubrie 20:27

That's so good!

Noah 20:29

Well...

Aubrie 20:29

That's so good! Oh my god, I love it.

Noah 20:33

I did a terrible job of showing it on the webcam, but...

Aubrie 20:36

Mine looks like jerky. It's like, cause I got the, I got the bagged like chick'n. I

Ralph 20:45

I usually do it pretty, but mine today, I was just.

Aubrie 20:48

It looks great.

Ralph 20:50

Tastes good.

Aubrie 20:52

Mine looks like seitan, so.

Noah 20:56

But it's tiny.

Aubrie 20:57

What it is.

Noah 21:00

Do you think this recipe is exactly as advertised? At least how it turned out?

Ralph 21:04

No.

Aubrie 21:05

Um, well, I didn't do the right thing. So not for me.

Ralph 21:11

Oh yeah. You want to share your chicken saga?

Aubrie 21:15

Oh yeah. So I bought chicken this morning, um, at the Aldi. Sorry, Aldi. I'm going to put you on blast. Um, but my mom, so I bought chicken at the Aldi came home. It looked fine. It looked exact. Cause I do, I like look underneath, make sure there's no like weird blood spots. There can be, I guess, but I'm just like, Let's get something that looks safe because it's already risky cooking it right before this. And so I just put it in the fridge. I did not open the package until I had to marinate it and thank God we had to marinate this one because it gave me a few hours to run out to a store again in the freezing cold and find a replacement. And you know what? I was going to get chicken, but I was scathed by it. So I just got this chicken substitute from the Sprouts and it's actually pretty good. I like the flavoring of it. Yeah, it's nice. But my mom was like, Maybe someone put it in their cart and like had, I was like, it felt cold though. So like if some, if the employees are putting the chicken back that they're like finding on the shelves, like we got a real problem. Like, I don't think that's a real thing, but I don't know. I had bad chicken and it was good till December 10th. I checked those dates first off.

Noah 22:38

2023.

Aubrie 22:38

Yeah. 2019.

Ralph 22:46

I just feel like there wasn't enough of the marinade. Yeah. For a whole pound of chicken, it was like a razor-thin coating, a whisper of a coating on all the chicken.

Noah 22:58

We had 1.33 pounds of chicken, so I was increasing liquids anyway. And then, yeah, I added a little more vinegar to kind of wetten it.

Aubrie 23:09

Nice.

Noah 23:10

To sit.

Aubrie 23:12

Yeah, your pieces look, like, nice and hearty.

Ralph 23:14

It is delicious, though. It's not, like, overpowering.

Aubrie 23:23

Yeah, I'm not getting much rosemary on mine. I wonder if it's because it's like fake chicken. It didn't sop it up. But it tastes like I can taste a lot of salt because it called for a lot of salt and not a lot of liquid. So it kind of tastes soy saucy to me.

Noah 23:40

Yeah.

Aubrie 23:40

Which is crazy.

Noah 23:42

Yeah, I marinated mine overnight. So it's got that next day flavor. Y But I did add some salt and pepper in the pan because I wasn't getting as much from the salt. O

Aubrie 23:57

Okay.

Ralph 23:59

Are you a seasoner? Do you like a lot of flavor on your food?

Noah 24:03

That's also true. I could have put hot sauce on this, but we gotta... We got to let the authors of this cookbook take us on the sensual journey as they intended.

Ralph 24:20

As the editors intended.

Aubrie 24:22

Yeah, yeah.

Noah 24:23

Is there a name on the cookbook? Like, is it attributed to a person?

Aubrie 24:27

F.L. Fowler. F.L. Wait, wait. I was going to say J.K. Fowling. That's actually pretty good.

Noah 24:35

Now that sounds like a pseudonym.

Aubrie 24:39

Yes, it is. I don't think anyone actually attached their name to this.

Ralph 24:42

Speaking of sensual journey, there's usually in this cookbook, there's always a erotic story. Erotic is in quotes and scare quotes, a story that goes along with one, each one. And our resident thespian, Shannon DeVito, usually reads them while we're eating. Do you have one for us tonight, Shannon?

Shannon 25:03

I do. Yeah, you sent it to me and I opened it up as you started to eat. And I want to say, I skimmed ahead and I'm sorry in advance for what's about to happen. So anyway, yeah, there's a story that is always written about the recipe. And since I am world's worst cook, world's most mediocre actor, I am reading this, the story. So I, here we go. The name of this story today is called Chicken Striptease.

Aubrie 25:56

There it is.

Shannon 25:58

So get ready. All right. Okay. I've been prevailed upon in ways I've never imagined. I've agreed to everything so far, but now it's my turn. I want more. I want to be dinner. I want it to taste like me. I want to be craved. He's obsessed with his kinky implements, his techniques, his condiments. I prefer to think, this is messed up. But I can see it's the right thing for him. My mind wanders to the 15 previous ingredients. Your whole control freak foodie thing, it was because of her, that woman, Mrs. Child. My mood has darkened. Julia opened my eyes to many important things, he explained. In fact, I'd still be eating frozen dinners if it weren't for her. Frozen dinners? The thought of my poor, fucked up foodie eating cold tater tots as a boy breaks my heart. Not taters, baby, never again. All right. I'll bet she never taught you this.

Aubrie 27:13

Oh no.

Shannon 27:14

Strip my breasts, Blades, I command softly, now. His eyes widen, craving, thickens in the air around us like wine reduction. I can tell he's thinking what he might do to my ample white flesh. Well, he's just gonna have to think a little longer because I have to marinate. So what will it be? Cupped in warm tortilla, slicked with vinaigrette, rubbed with hot spice. We won't need a recipe for what we're about to do. Yep. That was the story they wrote for this recipe.

Noah 27:54

So in the lore of this cookbook, they've turned the woman into the chicken.

Aubrie 27:58

Yes. Yes.

Shannon 28:00

It is from the chicken's POV.

Aubrie 28:02

Yes. And a human person is supposedly fucking this chicken. We just gotta, you know?

Shannon 28:13

You're not wrong. You're not wrong.

Noah 28:15

So when I was thinking about this cookbook, the most prominent questions in my mind were, did they expect anybody to actually make these recipes? And do people actually eat from this cookbook? Who aren't recording a podcast.

Ralph 28:33

Yes, because Aubrie got me this cookbook secondhand and there are notes in this cookbook.

Aubrie 28:41

Yes.

Ralph 28:42

Somebody wrote excellent or tasty or delicious on some of these recipes. So there was somebody who did own this cookbook, loved this cookbook, cooked from this cookbook and thought it was delicious.

Noah 28:54

Then why'd they get rid of it?

Aubrie 28:57

They might have saved, maybe they took pictures of their favorites. Maybe they were like, we wrote it down in our old timey recipe book. And it's just, they're like mom's famous chicken recipe. And it's really like some smutty chicken from Fifty Shades of Chicken.

Shannon 29:14

They cooked it so many times that it's all committed to memory.

Ralph 29:19

We, we, uh, we, uh, hope everybody will go out and actually buy the cookbook because we're doing it this whole season and it's actually, the food has been super tasty. So everyone do not steal the recipes, go get the cookbook support, support the people that we are, um, rummaging through their book for entertainment. But also, uh, As Shannon was reading that story, I just heard a reference to Julia Child. Is Julia Child like now the canon villain in this cookbook story? I

Shannon 29:53

I think so. Because we have not heard her mentioned yet. And I feel like that is now currently the case.

Aubrie 30:02

Yeah.

Ralph 30:03

Yeah.

Aubrie 30:03

Or is she the other woman? Because it's like a sex, I don't know. He was like my beloved! Like, right?

Ralph 30:12

Yeah.

Aubrie 30:12

I don't know. Feels like an, it's Fifty Shades of Gray.

Shannon 30:15

Like an ex.

Aubrie 30:15

So I'm like, like the villains are really just like weird exes or...

Shannon 30:21

Maybe.

Noah 30:24

Yeah. Your whole control freak foodie thing, it was because of her, that woman, Mrs. Child.

Aubrie 30:31

That's, that's wild.

Shannon 30:32

Like is the, is he trying to say that like he had an affair with Julia Child? Like, I just, I have so many questions for the author of this book. I really need to find them.

Aubrie 30:46

FL Fowler, show yourself.

Noah 30:50

This is where the metaphor falls apart. Because having seen the first two Fifty Shades of Grey movies, but not read the books, in a like, oh, let's watch them as a group kind of party idea. Should I explain that more? Y

Ralph 31:06

Yes, please. Please.

Noah 31:08

In a like, we're going to watch like a bad movie night kind of situation. Although we did have a friend come in the first time who does BDSM and like debunk slash explain some things from the first film.

Aubrie 31:20

Oh, that's fun.

Noah 31:23

But so it is like he had this older woman who kind of had this relationship with him when he was too young. And don't ask questions about that. And now he's doing it to her. So this doesn't make sense in the cookbook because she did not cut him into pieces, soak him in rosemary overnight and simmer and saute him in the pan.

Ralph 31:46

Right.

Noah 31:47

Not literally.

Shannon 31:47

Right. Metaphorically.

Aubrie 31:51

Ye ah. Well, he's a human, right? Yeah. So it is hard to follow the human to the chicken love triangle.

Shannon 31:59

My favorite part of that is that you just, you were like, look, he's a human, right? Like, that was, that, I, honest to God, that's my new ringtone.

Noah 32:09

I mean, it's kind of more on theme if it's a chicken eating other chickens.

Aubrie 32:14

Yeah, because chickens do like to eat chicken.

Noah 32:16

What?

Aubrie 32:17

My friends have a chicken farm and they do love chicken. Yeah, they're cannibals. They're little cannibals.

Shannon 32:22

Oh, no.

Aubrie 32:25

They eat it. Yeah, they're pretty. Yeah, no, it was pretty intense to watch. But yeah, they love it. It felt weird.

Shannon 32:30

Do they just not know? Maybe they don't know.

Aubrie 32:32

No, they don't know.

Noah 32:38

Yeah, I feel like calling someone chicken brained is a specific name we have for something. Bird brained.

Aubrie 32:46

Bird brained, yeah. They're very smart, though.

Ralph 32:49

There is a Guinness World Record of a chicken living, a longest living chicken with its head cut off. I don't know if you've ever heard about this.

Noah 32:57

Right.

Ralph 32:58

I believe the chicken's name was Mike. And it lived for 18 days after the farmer that raised it cut its head off. So he was going to eat it, but it just kept walking around and doing stuff.

Aubrie 33:10

Oh, my God. That's like a Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice thing. I

Ralph 33:16

I, if that happened to me, I would have burned my house down and moved somewhere. Cause that's the devil right there.

Shannon 33:25

One thousand percent. That is Satan.

Aubrie 33:28

Yeah, no, that's, that's, disguised as.... give up the farm at that point. And what a weird name for a chicken, Mike.

Ralph 33:36

It was some, I might be wrong about the name, but it was a very common, like generic name.

Aubrie 33:41

I hope you're right, Donald.

Ralph Andracchio 33:45

Right.

Aubrie 33:46

I really hope you're right.

Shannon 33:48

Wow. That's... Huh.

Aubrie 33:51

So I have questions about your party too, Noah. Did any of them... Like, did you... Was there a point when you were like, this is a bad idea? Or like... Because it is like... There's a... So I watched the movies.

Noah 34:04

Yeah.

Aubrie 34:05

All... Because I like... was like, does one of us have to watch the movies? And we kind of agreed that we didn't have to. But one day I was like, I feel like someone here, and since it's like, I feel like I'll take the, I'll take, I'll bite the bullet. And so I did it and I regretted it immediately. But then I had to like text them and be like, what the fuck am I watching?

Noah 34:29

Yeah.

Aubrie 34:31

Wild choices all around.

Noah 34:33

Yeah, you really could do a podcast just talking about the movies because they're fascinating and bizarre. But no, I so originally they had watched the Twilight movies and then for some reason as they were like, they finished them, they're like, okay, now we'll watch these and we'll invite like twice as many friends for this one. I think because otherwise, like you suffered through it alone, like...

Aubrie 35:03

Yeah, no, it was, it was a bad, I was like, I regret this so hard, but it was totally my choice. Like I didn't even tell them till like after I watched the first one.

Noah 35:12

But now when you taste the recipes, you can understand the emotional depth.

Ralph 35:18

Like you're eating Jamie Dornan.

Aubrie 35:20

Eating Jamie Dornan. Yes. Let's, let's just put that on the record.

Ralph 35:24

I grew up... I'm an old head. So I grew up when the kind of the psychosexual movies were just starting like the early nineties when Basic Instinct came out. Like that was for me, like the best kind of version of that movie ever. So I'm always comparing things to the original Basic Instinct. Cause that was like, when that came out, everybody's like, this is me, this is great. Everybody's talking about it. And now like, I couldn't watch the 50 Shades of Grey movie because I just thought like, I'm just gonna be comparing them to Basic Instinct and being like, eh, this is nothing.

Noah 36:04

When was Fatal Attraction?

Ralph 36:08

Oh yeah, Fatal Attraction was before that. Doing a little quick Googling while we're on the air.

Aubrie 36:19

Another one that came on my radar, Fear, came out. That was so fucking weird. I tried to rewatch some of it, and I was like, this is so gross. And I just turned it off.

Noah 36:31

I saw a clip of that on social media. I'd never seen it before. It was weird.

Ralph 36:35

Fatal attraction was 87, and Basic Instinct was 92.

Aubrie 36:40

Oh nice. Yeah.

Ralph 36:43

And Fear, the movie...

Aubrie 36:45

Yeah.

Ralph 36:47

Was 96.

Aubrie 36:48

Okay. Yeah. I remember a friend, like literally we had like a party or something and she like rented it and we watched it together as like teenage girls. It was a real choice.

Ralph 37:02

Marky Mark, right? I

Aubrie 37:03

None of us knew like what was coming, but yeah, it's never left my brain.

Ralph 37:08

Marky Mark and Reese Witherspoon, right?

Aubrie 37:12

Yeah.

Ralph 37:13

Yeah.

Aubrie 37:13

And he was like so much older than her. It was really ...yeah it's not great.

Noah 37:18

In some ways 50 shades of gray is less weird than those movies because those movies are trying to make you sexually attracted to like a literal killer and here he he he maybe cares about her?

Aubrie 37:33

Yeah.

Noah 37:35

He hasn't killed anyone, at least.

Aubrie 37:37

Well, I think he does. I think it's, you haven't seen the third one, right? i

Noah 37:41

I haven't seen the third one. Oh, no, you can tell me.

Aubrie 37:44

I won't spoil anything. But wait, no, the one thing I will say about, there's like a, it ends, oh, should I spoil this? I think you'll still enjoy it. Shan, can you be my litmus? There's a cat chasing a toy, too. Don't mind that.

Shannon 38:00

Wait, what? Do I know? I don't know if I know.

Aubrie 38:02

Yeah, because I sent you a video of my TV. I think I sent you both it. There was a montage of her just, like, memories of them, but then they would choose, like, really weird sexual moments, and it went on for way too long. Like, it was such an insane move. But I was like, this is... bat shit and i've like kind of been like obsessed with whoever made this choice because it was just a very specific choice. Like she had like an umbrella she was like walking through a grave... like it wasn't any of them that died. I will never re-watch that movie so i'm just gonna part it together in my brain.

Ralph 38:43

I have to watch these movies now just so I can satisfy my curiosity.

Aubrie 38:48

Yeah, what's the 50 shades... what's the last one called?

Shannon 38:52

53 shades.

Aubrie 38:53

Yeah. Just go to that one. Find it on a free streaming service. Just go straight to the end and then you'll get the montage of all the good moments. And then like, uh, what's her name?

Ralph 39:11

I was going to say Dolores. That's not right.

Aubrie 39:12

Daisy?

Noah 39:13

Dakota Johnson?

Aubrie 39:15

Dakota. Dakota Johnson. Yeah.

Ralph 39:16

Dakota Fanning. Dakota Johnson.

Aubrie 39:18

Dakota Fanning. Dakota Johnson? Is that her name?

Ralph 39:20

Dolores Claiborne. That's her name.

Aubrie 39:22

Dolores Claiborne. Julia Child.

Noah 39:26

Supermarket chicken. Generic supermarket chicken.

Aubrie 39:33

Yeah, I just remember her carrying an umbrella. It was such an insane choice.

Ralph 39:39

All right. Hey, I'm not trying to knock anybody's artistic vision.

Aubrie 39:44

No.

Ralph 39:46

This is where we're

Aubrie 39:49

They got so much money for those movies, so the fact that they were able to end them on a crazy... not actually put a, but a montage was why I was like, wow. Usually studios won't allow... you know, montages as the end thing, maybe. I don't know. It's just a hunch I have because I haven't seen many. But what do I know?

Noah 40:14

Every once in a while, you get a movie that just ends with like a where are they now kind of montage.

Aubrie 40:19

Oh, yeah. Yes. I mean,

Ralph 40:23

My favorite kind of montages are 80s montages. Usually in a mall, trying on clothes, you know, doing stuff. That's where the montage really peaked.

Aubrie 40:32

Yeah, yeah. No, I love those. This was just clips of the old movies put together.

Ralph 40:37

They were like, we need to fill 15 minutes at the end of this movie.

Aubrie 40:43

Like, it wasn't the credits. It was just part of the movie. Like, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, it was part of the movie because there were credits after it. It was wild.

Noah 40:53

What if this cookbook got adapted to the screen?

Ralph 40:57

I would watch that. That'd be the first one in line.

Aubrie 41:00

Well, I think we have writers here, so we should be the ones to adapt it. I'm going to go on the book.

Shannon 41:07

Yeah, let's add it to our list.

Ralph 41:13

Adaptations.

Aubrie 41:15

It's going to be a dramatic thriller, much like..

Ralph 41:21

Speaking of thrills and drama, I think it's time for our questions, yes?

Aubrie 41:25

Oh yes.

Ralph 41:26

Did you like that lead-in like that transition?

Aubrie 41:28

It was very good.

Ralph 41:29

Thank you.

Shannon 41:29

That was beautiful.

Noah 41:30

We also didn't explain your uh speaking of LGBTQ+ segue before you introduced me but that's okay.

Ralph 41:37

So yeah no you are yes you are part of the the family, rights and marriage . Yeah.

Noah 41:44

Yes. Engaged to a man.

Ralph 41:47

Okay. Congratulations, by the way.

Noah 41:49

Thank you.

Ralph 41:51

When is the... Do you have a date set?

Noah 41:55

We do not. Oh, leaving it open.

Ralph 41:58

Keeping your options open. I like it.

Noah 42:00

No, I mean, more like we've been busy and we just got to sit down and make plans and throw darts at a calendar.

Ralph 42:08

Yeah. Oh, you don't have any specific date that holds any kind of... memory or anything?

Noah 42:16

Our dating anniversary is like May. That would be convenient, but it seems like prime wedding time, so we'll see.

Ralph 42:26

Just now that you've brought it up, thank you for bringing it up. Something for any LGBTQ plus viewers or listeners to think about as the new administration is coming in. And if you are in a long-term relationship, even if you are married to somebody of the same sex, please be sure you safeguard your rights. Don't just rely on the marriage certificate because those can easily go away. Make sure you each have power of attorney for each other. Make sure you have visitation. I forget what that's called, but some kind of medical visitation thing. And you can keep a laminated little copy in your pocket at all times. So if the hospital asks for it, you have it. There's a ton of stuff we need to do to protect our rights, which is insane and dumb because it's 2024, but we have to do it. So if you're listening and you're LGBTQ, please talk to a lawyer and make sure you have all of your bases covered.

Shannon 43:24

Is that somewhere? That people can... Is there a website or something that people can go to to see all of the things that people can do?

Ralph 43:31

There are. I don't know it off the top of my head. I have it saved somewhere.

Aubrie 43:37

We'll put it in the show notes.

Ralph 43:37

Noah, do you know of any?

Noah 43:39

No, I was seeing stuff come across social media. And I know some of like the in Philly, some of the council people have talked about like kind of looking towards those resources.

Ralph 43:49

Yeah. We'll include it in the notes.

Aubrie 43:51

Yeah, we'll do show notes for sure.

Ralph 43:53

But yes, just be sure you safeguard your rights. It's so dumb that I even have to say that.

Aubrie 44:02

So dumb.

Ralph 44:03

Yeah. Marriage does not... It comes with over a thousand perks and benefits under the law and taxes and everything, but they can all be easily taken away if you are not Adam and Eve.

Aubrie 44:19

Yeah, ugh.

Noah 44:19

Yeah. Legally, you can't call someone hubby unless you're married to them.

Ralph 44:26

I hate that word anyway. I never use it.

Noah 44:32

Skip the paperwork.

Shannon 44:32

You hate it enough not to get married.

Ralph 44:35

That right you can take away from me. That's fine. Yeah. All right. So yes. Thank you for reminding us about that. We've covered all the maudelin stuff. Now we can get to the questions. Yes. Great. All right. Five questions. Answer however you would like. They're open-ended. First of all, we would like to know what do you think is the sexiest food besides chicken, obviously?

Noah 45:05

I did get the questions in advance and I did prepare and I'm glad because otherwise we would be sitting here for like 20 minutes while I think about this one because this is a tough question. I'm going with spaghetti or other forms of long pasta.

Ralph 45:21

Okay. That's the first time we've gotten pasta.

Aubrie 45:25

Well, I think Alison did pasta eaten Lady and the Tramp style.

Noah 45:31

Yeah. That's part of what I'm thinking. I think you have to kind of slurp it up, which makes your mouth make certain shapes.

Aubrie 45:41

Oh yeah. I like it.

Noah 45:41

You can make it light or heavy. You can do all sorts of stuff with it.

Ralph 45:48

OK.

Noah 45:49

I don't know. I feel like the only other option is like, you know, certain things in the produce aisle.

Aubrie 46:00

I like it. I like it. All right. Speaking of sexy, what would a sexy cookbook be called and why? S

Noah 46:10

So the first thing that popped into my head was Nachos for One.

Aubrie 46:18

Yes.

Noah 46:18

And I did decide to say it because, you know, you have to love yourself. That's important. Another one I came up with is hot drinks for your hot date. Because I do think like, it's getting cold. I love sharing hot drinks. Very cozy, very cuddly. And you could use recipes. And then I have four bad ones.

Ralph 46:48

Great.

Shannon 46:49

No bad ones but continue.

Noah 46:52

The joy of eggs, jicama making love.

Ralph 47:01

That's a deep cut.

Noah 47:03

Sauces to wet your asspetite.

Ralph 47:05

Oh, that, come on that's a winner.

Shannon 47:08

That's incredible.

Aubrie 47:09

That's not the one you started with.

Noah 47:12

It's not it's not my sexy cookbook.

Aubrie 47:14

Fair fair. Yeah.

Noah 47:14

Um and the last one i'm just calling polenta.

Shannon 47:18

Very sexy.

Aubrie 47:21

Oh my god.

Shannon 47:22

You've got two Italians on this podcast, that is the sexiest one you could have said.

Aubrie 47:27

You should copyright those by the way and then you can sell the rights to whoever claims them because they will go. They will fly.

Noah 47:34

Can we get in touch with F.L. Fowler and see if she knows how to cook anything other than chicken?

Aubrie 47:40

I think in early 2025 that has to be our because we've joked about it, but like none of us have had time to actively pursue it Or like it was just a joke, but I've always been like, we should pursue it. We'll figure it out.

Noah 47:55

Doing a like documentary, like the search for F.L. Fowler to try to figure out who wrote these recipes. I could see that existing.

Aubrie 48:03

Oh, my God. Yeah, we...

Shannon 48:04

It's our side podcast. It's like Dead Eyes, but the search...

Ralph 48:10

And it would be ...the podcast would be called "a podcast to whet your asspetite."

Aubrie 48:15

Wet your asspetite. Yes. Search for FL Fowler.

Ralph 48:22

Brilliant.

Noah 48:23

And, and I didn't even realize that like the word wet is usually spelled W H E T when you whet your appetite, but I spelled it W E T.

Aubrie 48:32

I like it more sexual.

Noah 48:34

I don't know.

Shannon 48:34

I didn't know that.

Noah 48:37

I knew that weirdly.

Aubrie 48:37

I knew that weirdly.

Shannon 48:37

I'm also the worst speller ever, so that's not really a barometer for what people should and should not know.

Noah 48:43

Yeah, you need a British person to walk in and ask you if you want to whet your appetite.

Aubrie 48:47

Whet, yeah.

Shannon 48:49

If only.

Aubrie 48:49

I love it. All right, Ralph, I think that's you.

Ralph 48:56

Was that me? Oh, that is me. I

Aubrie 48:57

Yeah, I think we just did a....

Ralph 48:58

Um, yeah, sexiest food mascot. What do you got?

Noah 49:04

So I struggle to think of food mascots and I like just listen to a podcast where they discuss them, which was a strange coincidence. But stop me if you've heard this one before. Jolly Green Giant.

Ralph 49:19

Sure.

Shannon 49:19

Yeah.

Aubrie 49:19

Yeah. I don't think it was the main one, though. I think like Kait Thompson mentioned it in passing, but I think hers was someone else.

Shannon 49:28

I think when when they when when Patrick asked us all, I think that's who I agreed with. Because, I mean, come on.

Noah 49:39

You know, and I did listen to that episode, so maybe I stole it directly from you subconsciously. I

Shannon 49:45

I mean, it's the correct answer. I mean, that guy can, that green bean man can carry you around. And that is a win.

Aubrie 49:53

He can get it.

Shannon 49:55

He can get it.

Noah 49:56

And unlike the Hulk, he's happy.

Shannon 49:59

Thank you. And healthy.

Ralph 50:01

True.

Noah 50:04

You think the Hulk is just sitting around eating junk food?

Shannon 50:07

Yes. I've seen, I've seen End Game. Yes, he's eating giant pancakes and like a truck full of eggs. Like, yes. His cholesterol is very high.

Ralph 50:21

Yeah.

Noah 50:22

Yeah. But you can burn a lot of cholesterol just, you know, pounding your enemy into the dirt.

Aubrie 50:26

Hulk smash him.

Ralph 50:28

That's what she said.

Shannon 50:29

Heyo.

Aubrie 50:31

Heyo.

Ralph 50:31

Heyo.

Aubrie 50:33

All right. If you were stuck on a desert island and could only eat one thing, what would it be?

Noah 50:39

I'm assuming this doesn't have to be something that grows on a desert island.

Aubrie 50:42

No, no. It could just be like if you had limitless supply of anything. Doesn't have to...it can be a perishable. Like, rules don't matter.

Noah 50:53

I actually did not choose my favorite food here, which is probably nachos. Not necessarily for one. But I went with pizza. It isn't terrible for you in the grand scheme of things. And there's a lot of variety there.

Aubrie 51:08

Nice. Yeah, because you could like literally have a different toppings and like switch them up. Because like in this scenario, we have like a pizza chef there.

Ralph 51:21

Would you have the pizza delivered every day by boat?

Aubrie 51:26

Ooh.

Noah 51:29

I like the idea of being able to pull it hot off of trees.

Aubrie 51:33

Like a pizza tree?

Noah 51:35

Yeah. But delivered by boat is good. Airlifted.

Aubrie 51:45

Or it could be it could rain like cloudy in the chance of meatballs.

Shannon 51:50

Wait, say it again. I'm sorry.

Aubrie 51:51

I'm sorry. It could like rain like cloudy with a chance of meatballs. They could just fall from the sky just like willy nilly too. Sorry, Shan, didn't mean to...

Shannon 51:57

No, that's, that was much better than what I was going to say. But if you're, if it's being delivered, okay, just hear me out. If it's being delivered by boat, then you're not stranded on a desert Island anymore. You're just, you get on that boat and then you can go get your own pizza.

Ralph 52:16

I don't know how you ruin everything, Shannon.

Shannon 52:18

I'm just using logic.

Aubrie 52:21

Well, here, but I worded it very trickily because I said if you were stuck on a desert island, people could be coming in and out.

Ralph 52:29

That is true.

Shannon 52:31

Sure.

Noah 52:31

Maybe you're emotionally stuck. You can't leave cause you know.

Aubrie 52:34

Yeah, you're mentally stuck.

Shannon 52:36

That's very relatable.

Noah 52:38

I also think if you've ever tried to like get in the car with the Papa John's delivery person, they probably are going to give you a hard time.

Ralph 52:45

That is absolutely true.

Aubrie 52:47

That's your, yeah the Papa John's boat is your only hope for escape.

Shannon 52:55

I don't know, I feel like I would try. I just uh well yeah I don't know the Papa John's Papa John's can go but if it was a Domino's guy... We've got a different thing. Anywho, I'm sorry to bring logic into this scenario because that makes no sense to do in this.

Aubrie 53:14

No, it's fine.

Noah 53:14

That's the best kind.

Aubrie 53:15

50 Shades of Chicken.

Shannon 53:18

Right. There's no logic involved in our current cookbook.

Noah 53:23

Yeah. A better book might have been 50 Breeds of Chicken where it's just pictures of different kinds of live chickens.

Aubrie 53:32

There should be a spinoff.

Noah 53:33

I guess that's now two steps removed because it doesn't have any of the words from the title of the book in it anymore.

Shannon 53:45

Well.

Noah 53:47

Yeah.

Shannon 53:49

It has 50 in it. Anyway. All right. Last question. Fuck, marry, kill. I have to do it in my head. Cranberry sauce, stuffing, and green bean casserole.

Noah 54:07

So you must pick different foods every time, and we're getting the special post-Thanksgiving recording session edition?

Aubrie 54:12

Yeah.

Ralph 54:13

Got it.

Noah 54:14

I found this relatively easy.

Aubrie 54:17

Okay.

Noah 54:21

And we'll see what people think, but I think you marry the stuffing... you fuck the green bean casserole and you kill the cranberry sauce.

Aubrie 54:34

Interesting. What do you have against cranberry sauce?

Noah 54:39

It's not satisfying by itself.

Aubrie 54:44

Fair, fair.

Ralph 54:45

That is fair.

Noah 54:46

Even for one night in each others arms. I don't know. Maybe you're in a tub full of cranberry sauce. I don't know what's going on.

Aubrie 54:59

Yeah, yeah. Choose your own adventure.

Noah 55:02

Green bean casserole is a guilty pleasure.

Aubrie 55:03

Yeah.

Noah 55:04

You don't need it your whole life. You just need it once.

Aubrie 55:08

I like it. I like this logic,

Ralph 55:10

Yeah. You thought about this. I give you credit, you thought about this logically. Every answer makes sense. I disagree, but I can't.

Noah 55:20

What are you marrying?

Shannon 55:21

Yeah, what is yours?

Ralph 55:22

I would also marry stuffing because... I would reverse green bean casserole and cranberry sauce.

Aubrie 55:31

See, I would go with Noah's because I do love cranberry sauce, but I can't eat much of it, and I would eat more of green bean casserole, and I can sustain that for longer. It's nice, cranberry sauce, but like.

Ralph 55:46

But if you're just, if it's just like a side thing, which cranberry sauce is, it's not meant to be the whole shebang.

Aubrie 55:53

You know.

Ralph 55:54

You know, go visit cranberry sauce every, like every couple of weeks, be like, hey baby, you home? Yeah.

Noah 55:59

I think maybe cranberry sauce is a truck stop hookup. You're not even going to a motel with it.

Ralph 56:06

So you're making it better.

Aubrie 56:09

We need to expand our categories.

Noah 56:10

If it's a room with a bed, you need green bean casserole.

Shannon 56:14

It's a classy joint.

Aubrie 56:18

Oh my god that's so good.

Ralph 56:22

It also depends on the kind of cranberry sauce- if it's the kind that comes in the can and still looks like a can when you take it out, that's a truck stop hookup. But if it's like the fancy kind with the twigs and the full the whole berries that that's like Four Seasons.

Noah 56:38

OK.

Aubrie 56:38

Yeah see, my family always has cans we like because we're from Delco. So that's why I chose to kill it because I'm like, you know, it's just like jelly canned food. One or two bites, I'm good.

Noah 56:56

That's all you need.

Ralph 56:57

All right, we're careening quickly towards the end. This has been fun.

Noah 57:05

Oh my.

Ralph 57:05

This went super quick. I hope you had fun, Noah.

Noah 57:11

Oh yeah. And I ate chicken.

Ralph 57:13

And you ate chicken. So we see, we feed our guests. We're, we're a full service podcast. This will, I'm not quite sure when this will be coming out, but is there anything generally you would like to plug for anybody, anybody to go, you know, see you, listen to you, connect with you online? What do you got?

Noah 57:33

Yes. So, uh, Talking 2024 is releasing weekly, but it all continues to exist. So if you had a favorite week this year that you want to pre-live based on what we thought might be happening, definitely check that out. If you recognize any of our guests, check it out. Or you could listen all the way through and chart the journey. Dying Message, the detective anime mystery podcast continues to exist. If anybody is into anime... Or Mysteries, you might enjoy that. It's a niche that I am firmly inside of. So you can find both of those wherever you get your podcasts. Also, Talking 2024 is on Instagram if you want to see like the pictures with the guests and kind of browse all that stuff. And then the other thing I'll shout out is I'll hopefully be doing again soon my solo improvised play, Noah's No Show Show. So people should follow that on Instagram. And you can find some clips from Philly Fringe. I would definitely like that and then share it and then like it some more. I'm hoping to share some more clips in the coming months and then perform again sometime next year.

Aubrie 58:51

Nice.

Ralph 58:51

Excellent. You're a busy, busy man.

Aubrie 58:54

Yes.

Noah 58:55

Yeah, maybe that's why I never cook chicken.

Ralph 58:57

It is.

Noah 58:58

Although this was super quick.

Ralph 59:00

Time intensive. It was super quick and kind of tasty. Yeah, still very good.

Aubrie 59:11

Yeah, I think I'm going to go with real chicken next time if it's not spoiled in the package. No, no shame to this. It just wasn't, it was like, it wasn't breasts. So like I couldn't cut it into strips. So it was just a little tiny chunks, so...

Ralph 59:27

Right on. Shannon?

Speaker 01 59:33

I'd kill all three.

Ralph Andracchio 59:40

Perfect. What a way to end the show. That's tracks. Thank you again, Noah, for being on the show. Thank you, Aubrie and Shannon. Thank you everybody for listening. And always remember to eat responsibly. Thank you all. Have a good night.

Aubrie 59:59

Good night.
