So without further ado, let's get into our game. Hello listeners. We have officially survived Winter and spring is well by the calendar. It's here anyways. Yeah. Woo woo. Break out the Santa lotion. I'm not sure we need that quite yet. We still have to get through Mud season. Yeah. Yeah. But you know, we can dream. Yeah, it's around the corner. Dream big. Dream big. Well, we actually got out skiing this morning. Yes, we did. That was really fun. That was really fun. Did some nice turns. Yeah. Still has some, uh, plenty of snow and Yep, yep. It was fun. Yeah, I really enjoyed it. Well, we do have a couple more weeks of spring skiing, so that counts. But Nancy, we have to, we have to talk about your epic. Epic trip that you just, just came back from Literally, literally epic. Yeah, that's where I put it in there. That was so smart. Yeah. So to Japan. Yes. Unbelievable. How was it? Amazing. Amazing. They call it ow. It's um, it's that like, oh, the'cause of the powder in Japan. It's like this Siberian powder that like, it, it, it's like some wind that comes from Siberia and it's dry and then it hits the wet, the, the moisture of the sea of Japan and it like is the perfect conditions. Yeah. Oh. And they've had like, wow. I did not know about that same year this year, so, oh, that is so awesome. And it's epic because I brought my epic pass and skied with my same pass that I use here in little Oldow. This is awesome. So i, I do Well that is phenomenal. Yeah. But I have to ask, does this have anything to do with the fact that. The snow out west here in the US is pretty bleak this year. Not at all, Laura. It's because, you know, Jason and I have these strong feelings that our kids need to see the world and understand other cultures and well that is true. It is actually true. It's true. But yeah, it had to do with, I got some good, there is snow over there too. But yeah, mostly the snow that was, well I think for Jason and the boys, that was mostly the snow for me. It was, it was definitely the food. I mean, I have known other people besides you who have gone to Japan just to eat, to eat. Yeah. I mean everything. Everything from street food, vending food to Michelin Star restaurant. It's all amazing. And by the way, we did one special dinner and I was online before we left looking at um, you know, Michelin star, like a nice restaurant to go to. Mm-hmm. The one special meal we'd have. And um, and I had to be like careful'cause I didn't wanna pick something too. Confrontational, you know, to confronting food wise for the boys. Okay. Like, they might be like, what they pig eats so much. Right. But I mean, Japan, but they, they're so adventurous. But, you know, Japan can be very confronting. Yeah. So, yeah. I didn't, I, anyway, I was looking at this site that had like a list of just Tokyo, Michelin star restaurants. There were 11 pages of Michelin star restaurants in Tokyo alone. Are you kidding me? It's just the food. Why, why do they have so many? cause they're, they're so particular, like the chefs are so well lauded. Like, I mean, it's, yeah. It was incredible to, yeah. And they're not all expensive places. Like we didn't go to one of the crazy, you know. Hundreds dollar, hundreds of dollars for per person. We went to something that's just, I guess socra, the craftsmanship is so amazing kind of thing. Yeah. I feel like all the Michelin restaurants in this country are pretty expensive, right? I mm-hmm. You, yeah. There's that one in Mexico, Mexico City that is actually a street taco place. A Michelin star. Come on. It's like a um, cart. Oh, we have to go. Yeah. I know. We really have to go. That's unbelievable. Yeah. Pretty cool, right? But it's so bad out in Utah, this, this winter that I feel like I'm really scared what's gonna happen in the summer. Why? What do you mean? Well, because they need that snow pack for, to have water in the summer, because as you and I learned yes. On this berry show, it is the great basin desert. Yes, it is. Yeah. I lived it in Colorado. Yeah. So, I don't know. It's gonna be brutal. Yeah. I didn't even think about the, the lack of drinking water. It's, that's going to be, yeah. Or just like water. You know, rivers running and that kind of thing. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But yeah. Yeah. Oh, and by the way, um, I was watching something, some Instagram reel, Uhhuh, because now of course they have trivia ones. Yes. And I follow a couple and yeah, we get, we're on the algorithm now. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And so, um, one of the questions I got, because it was a great basin. Oh, desert. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Oh, I have to, you have to tell me what those are. I wanna follow that too. Okay. Um, yeah, there's, speaking of Instagram, there's actually this guy that, Hugo and I follow, it's, well, it's a, it's a service. Um, it's called powder buoy. And, there's these buoys out in the Pacific Ocean that have like, sense Noah, you know, Noah sensors on them. Mm-hmm. That, this guy uses it, to predict the snowfall in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and stuff. I cannot believe that. It's so wild. And, um. Yeah. This winter, at one point he just like, was, peace out. I'm gonna Japan, there's no snow in Utah. He's like checking his buoys. He's like, my boo is saying no. Bu says Boo says no. Okay. We just uh, unlocked a new saying right there. Says no, that's gonna catch, it is, it's gonna Kidding. Um, okay. It's, wait, just getting back to Japan for a minute. Yeah.'cause we have not discussed this nearly enough. Mm-hmm. Had you ever been there before? No, I had never been. Jason had been once, um, it was actually three weeks after the boys were born, which was oh, pretty awful. Oh, okay. So you had three week old twins, uhhuh and Jason's like, Hey, ski weekend? No, he didn't go. He went for work. Oh, he did? Okay. Yeah. I would've been like, oh my God. Can you imagine? No, no, no. It, it was, it was, I'm gonna put work in air quotes. Oh. But work was in air quotes. Was he working on his form? Yeah, it was well. Oh yeah. So it was summer in, yeah, it would've been winter. It would've been, yeah. But he did not go skiing. Okay, okay. As far as I know. And it would've been okay if he did well? Well, maybe not. I don't know. Okay. Yeah. Um, and so how did you do for, for how long? For a week you were alone with the babies? Uh oh. He was only, it was like five days. It was pretty, because it was from Australia, so it was like, not that that's close, but, um, yeah. But five days with newborns. I mean, I've lived that, well, my, my parents were visiting, so, okay, that's better. So I got to take care of my dad too. Oh my God. Isn't that so what I, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, sounds like a trip of a lifetime. Maybe someday I'll get there. Oh yeah. I think you should. I really recommend it. I would. It's worth it. I would love to. Um, but in the meantime we've got some, um, trivia to attend to. We do. Yeah. Yeah. I'm excited for tonight. Yeah. Um, so today you are in the hot seat or should I say the front burner? Ooh, it's very hot front burner. We're gonna cook burning. We're gonna cook here in a minute. Um, because we, hopefully I'll cook. Because we are going to grill you on one of your favorite topics. Celebrity chefs. Okay? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Who is your favorite celebrity chef, by the way? Uh, Anthony Bourdain. I mean. Okay. I'm so sad. Still. I'm still him. Oh, he's the one who is, who died maybe like three or four years ago. Oh, no, it was, well, is it longer now? Yeah, I think that was like 2018 or so. It was a while ago. All right. Um, did I, did I ever tell you the story of when I met him? N uh, you may have, but refresh me and, and tell our listeners. Um, I, I'm not sure if I talked about this, but Yeah. So I would, I had just moved to Australia, and I had read Kitchen Confidential, obviously when I was in New York. I'd been to his restaurant Le all and um, yeah. And so he was giving a, book signing tour. We was doing that in, mm-hmm. In Australia. And I went to it and he was just so funny and charismatic and his stories are so great. And then, um, he, he opened it up for questions and I, raised my hand'cause I was just about to start culinary school. Ooh. Okay. And, um, I said, do you have any advice for me starting out and out? He said, yeah, kick ass and take names as a woman in a kitchen. You're gonna have to, Ooh. I was like, oh, okay. And he couldn't have been. More. Right. Do you think you got different treatment because you're a woman? Oh, yes. Oh yeah. It was, there was early, early two thousands. Yeah. There was a lot of misogyny and, um, well, I know traditionally there has been, but I wasn't sure if that was still the case and if that was in culinary school. Yeah. I mean, if he had not written that book, me as a writer and having done that, had that experience in a high-end restaurant, I would've written that book because I mean, I've been a waitress in restaurants and experienced that. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. It's front of house and back of house. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's, yeah. It's kind of crazy. Um, so yeah, love him, loved him, loved his shows. I mean, he just, it's, you know, a travel show and food show mm-hmm. And just all wrapped in one, and he's so adventurous and, you know, and he kind of had an approach, a bowl. Way about him. The way he approached food wasn't that a little, I mean, he would try anything. He would eat everything and he was, you know, never had to be like a fancy place. It was mm-hmm. It was the real food of the, the, um, the country. Right. Um, I mean, he had, I would say he was down to earth in any way. He's definitely has a very refined taste. Mm-hmm. Um, but um, yeah. Oh, that's awesome. Too bad we lost him. Yeah. Well, in order to cleanse our palate between questions Yay. We are going to need a proper cocktail. Luckily we have a delicious one sitting right here. I know. This is so awesome. I've already tried it. Naughty. You're so naughty. I have too. It's so good. It's so good. Today in honor of all the great chefs out there, we are drinking the Yes Chef love it Cocktail created by Famous Chef and Memoirist. Marcus Samuelson. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, uh, I worked with a chef who worked at his restaurant Aquavit in New York. And Oh, he was, he worked in Australia. I think he did like a stage and, um, it's like where you work for free and get experience kind of thing. Okay. Um, he might have been paid, I don't know. But he worked at the restaurant rock pool that I worked at in, Sydney, and just said the most amazing things about him. Oh very. Oh, very, very cool. Yeah. And now he's got Red Rooster in Harlem, right? Yeah. It's like soul food. Have you been there? I have, yeah. It's good. Are you really? Is it good? Oh, oh yeah. It's great. It's a scene. It's really wonderful. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Can you tell us about the Yes. Chef mentality? Yeah. So that comes from like the grueling, journey with like starting out in the back, in the kitchen. Um, and how you are just, there's one person you answer, it's a dict, it's a dictatorship. You know, you are just, yeah. You very much, you do what you're told, period. Yes. And do it well. And you make it clear Yes, chef. So that they know that the, um, things are moving so quickly. So they wanna know that you heard that you heard and understand. Exactly, yeah. So that's what, um, a chef's underlings would say. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay. And, um, yeah, it's very, um. I, I, I found it hard. It's amazing'cause it makes it very disciplined. But I went home and cried every night. Oh my gosh. At, are we talking about at school or when you were cooking? When I was cooking in a restaurant. I loved school. School was so fun. Yeah. Um, but when I worked in, I worked in like pubs and other places. Mm-hmm. But when I worked in, like, I worked in the equivalent of a Michelin star restaurant in Australia. Oh wow. And um, and that was very hard. Yeah. Hard on your hands too. Well, I swear to God, they don't use oven mes ever. No, I know. Well, it was just, yeah, I don't know. It's just very, very hard. Tough. And how long did you do it? How long were you a cook? I worked there for, I worked at Rockpool for, uh, like a year and a half. Um. Maybe a little under that. Um, and then I started, that's, then I went, I went into publishing. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it, it opened all those doors.'cause to have that on your resume was kind of cool. Very cool. I think that's amazing. Well, um, let's talk about this drink a little bit. Yeah. It is a nod to the high pressure discipline kitchen culture that you just talked about. There we go. And camaraderie as highlighted in Samuelson's memoir. Yes, chef. It's fresh. Yeah. I hope I didn't make it sound to so terrible.'cause the camaraderie was there. Like, we would get off off and, you know, our shift and we'd go out till like four in the morning, even though we had to be back at 10 o'clock the next morning. Well, it's no secret. I mean, people know it's a high pressure situation to be a cook and succeed in the world. Yeah. In the world of cooking. Yeah. Restaurants, but go on. Okay. So this fresh and spicy drink is made from. One sprig of fresh mint, one and a half ounce of vodka, three quarters of an ounce pineapple juice, one half ounce fresh lime juice, three quarter ounce honey syrup, which is equal parts honey and warm water. So it's just like a simple syrup. Basically honey syrup, three quarters ounce ginger beer, and a dash of Berra spice. How do you say it? I don't know. Is it bear berry or I, I'm not really. I, it looks like Bear Beret to me. It's Ethiopian spice blend, right? Mm-hmm. Which you happen to have,'cause you love Ethiopian food. Literally, we've been laughing for about a week because I absolutely adore Ethiopian food, and we have a gallon bag worth of spice, and it is, it's outstanding. It's delicious. It's delicious. Yeah. So unfortunately we only needed a. Like a dash. Yeah. In our drink. But it's, it's awesome because it gives it a little kick. So, um, the instructions for creating this delicious cocktail are first make the honey syrup place one half cup of honey and a half a cup water in a sauce pan and heat over medium heat, dissolve the honey into the water. Let it cool completely. And the excess honey syrup can be kept in the fridge for up to a month. Yeah, I mean, you can do more than that, or you can do less than that. Just, I was gonna say honey lasts forever, so long as it's, there's no contamination of the water, I guess. Yeah. But Alright. Next massage. A sprig of fresh mint in your hand to release its aroma and place it into a shaker. Add the vodka, pineapple juice, lime juice, and honey syrup to the shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well until the mixture becomes frothy. And it really did. It did, yeah. And strain into an ice filled low ball glass and topped the cocktail off with the ginger beer garnish with fresh mint. All right, let's Cheers. Cheers. Cheers to that. This is one of the my favorites that we've had on here. It's so good. It's such a complex flavor. It's amazing. It's really it. Again, it, it reminds me of a margarita. Yeah. But the spice just gives it such a depth of, and you know, the recipes we found out said that the bear berry spice was optional for an authentic kick. But I'm like, oh, you, I think you gotta use it because we did try it first without it by mistake. Yeah. And it was good. And it was good. But this absolutely took it to another level. I guess you could use like just a chili powder. If you can't find Burberry, you know, it's gonna be not as complex of a spice blend. Right. But it'll give you that, you know, spice, we'll give you the kick, but if, if you Or cayenne. Yeah. Yeah. I think you're right. Anyways, I think it's fantastic. Yeah. Make this one. Yeah. Make this one. Exactly. All right. So, um, do you think now that we've, uh, you've gotten a little bit of a taste, you're ready to get in the hot seat? I am just about ready. Yeah, I'm ready now.

It's awesome. Um, well, I know she worked for the OAS right? When she was in France. Like that's what she It was just OSS, yeah. OSS. Okay. Yeah. Um, so she, but she's so fascinating. She's so fascinating. And she met her husband in Yeah. The military. Yeah. But she was, she like had no interest in food growing up. So amazing. And it was working on this shark repellent. That's got her into cooking. Well also it was moving to Paris and having, when she married, um, I'm sorry, all, what's his name? Paul. Paul. What's Paul? Paul, yeah.

Was that another one of his restaurants? Is it, is it Mario Vital?

He has catering on the way to Paris because he's, I didn't know lead chef for Delta Airlines. That's so interesting. I did not know that. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. Yeah. Well, so the restaurant I was talking about that I worked at in, in Australia, Rockpool, he was the chef for Qantas Airlines. Um, that's like the best gig to get. Oh. And then, like, I never even thought of like they would get. Real, real chefs. Oh, well it's for first class. It's, I was gonna say then why isn't the food any better? I don't think, I'm not flying first class. That why? I'm not sure if they're doing the coach food. The coach. Hey, they're making the sun chips that they throw at you. The bis coughs. The bis coughs.

God, question two, what disgraced Delaware, deputy General Attorney General, that is, was convicted of the 1996 murder of his lover, Ann Marie Fahe, although her body was never found. That is Thomas Capano and I, I sort of remember that, but it's very hazy in my Yeah, I'm sure you know more facts, right? I, yeah. You know, I love my. Do tell. Yeah. So, um, this guy was obviously high ranking in the government of Delaware and had a lover even though he was married and she, I can't remember if she got pregnant or whether she was breaking up with him or whether she was seeing someone else. And he lost it and killed her and I think put her in like a cooler. And had her brother, had his brother help him dump her in the Delaware Bay. So how did they, um, convict him without finding the body? The, testimony of the brother? Oh, the brother. Mm-hmm. Even though he never witnessed the body. Yeah. He said he knew damn well that. What was in it was true what was in dang, the cooler. Ooh. Because you just don't just take a cooler out to the heavy cooler, out to the ocean. Shoot. How heavy was it? Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you're right. It just question five, according to the at and t commercials for phone service in the eighties, at what time do the rates go down? And that's 5:00 PM I do not remember these commercials. You do not remember that at all. I remember it five's when the rates go down. Oh my God. Zero. I cannot believe you don't remember that. So was that if you were calling like outside your area code, remember there was such thing as long distance calling? Yeah. Is that outside the area code? Was that what it was or? Um, yeah, so, well I think, yeah, because if you didn't have to dial one, dial the area code, dial one in the area code. Yeah. Then it was a local call. Crazy. So every people of who are younger than us who don't remember this, when you dialed out from a landline, you were e either dialing long distance calls or local calls with just the seven numbers, right? So if you were dialing outside your local area. Um, it cost money. Yeah. And the further you went, the more money it was went. Right. Money it costs. So if you were dialing a next town over, it would not be as expensive as calling California and being on the phone for like an hour. It would be like$50 or something. That's kind of crazy. Yeah. Times are so different. So different. Question six believed to have been the wealthiest man aboard who perished during the sinking of the Titanic. And that is John Jacob Astor iv.

There were romper room toys. Romper Stomper. Bomer Boo. That's what she would say. Okay. I don't remember that. But um, you know, I remember Romper Room. Um, but Wobble, I mean, we, wills were the best. Yeah. They didn't fall down. No. They just wobbled. I had a lot of weebles. Me too. I loved them. God, we were so simple. Um, I know. The toys were so good back then though. They were so good. They were so fun. Question nine, Anna Wintour recently named who as her replacement as Vogue editor, and that is Chloe Mal. And that's, um, her mother is actually Candace Bergen. That's crazy. And I think Louie Mal is her dad. I think he was a director. Famous director. Okay. Um, I'll take your word for it. Okay. Question 10. What is known, this is funny that this question is in here. I know, I I just, I just realized that what is known as the Holy Trinity and Cajun cuisine, that is Paul, Paul would know this. He would onion, celery, and green bell pepper. It's the flavor base or mirapoix that you start with as opposed to, um, onion, celery, and carrot in French cooking. Right. So, you use the, um, holy trinity for things like gumbo and jambalaya. And actually this term, the Holy Trinity was coined by Paul Pome, which is funny. That is so weird that we, I know I wrote the question and you wrote that. I never noticed you wrote that part in there. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Okay. So it all comes together. It all comes together. All right. That wraps up straight. No chaser. Those were some fun quest. Mm-hmm.

So in this mystery round, we're not gonna be doing the connections thing we usually do. This is the debut of something new and fun, which we love. We're calling this smash up. But if you've ever watched Jeopardy, and you may have seen it named before and after, basically, but instead of just a before and after, this is like before middle, after, right? Uh, so basically two or three separate trivia facts. Yeah. Three separate trivia facts that share a common famous name, word or phrase. For example, this is an example of what it's gonna sound like. Golden Girl plus the Crucible author. Plus famous advertising slogan for beer would be, be Arthur. Miller Time be Arthur Miller time. So be Arthur being the Golden Girl, Arthur Miller being the Crucible author. And Miller Time being the famous advertising slogan. See how that works. Love this. So I'll, I'll repeat the questions twice to give you a moment to like, think about it.'cause it's, it takes a little bit of like brain processing, I think. Um, I think everyone's gonna love this.
