1:31 Stavros Halkias? What did you guys have over there? What kind of mix?
1:33 Speaker 03 In Michigan, we got, I mean, it's a lot of German whites. And then we got Chaldeans, you know, we got a Chaldean group.
1:39 Stavros Halkias? What the hell's Chaldea?
1:41 Speaker 03 It's Christian Iraqis.
1:43 Stavros Halkias? Oh, wow.
1:44 Speaker 03 Came over, uh-huh, came over from, uh, from the first Iraq war.
1:49 Stavros Halkias? Oh, we let the Christians in.
1:51 Speaker 03 And then they came over to a spot in Michigan. So all Michigan people are like, oh, yeah, we know Chaldeans. Nobody else knows what they are. It's like a little Michigan secret. We have a little bunch of Christian Iraqis.
2:00 Stavros Halkias? Christian Iraqis.
2:01 Speaker 03 Yeah.
2:02 Stavros Halkias? What's the Christian Iraq food like? They got kebabs and shit?
2:05 Speaker 03 Oh, I don't know. We never try either.
2:10 Stavros Halkias? Just meatloaf every meal?
2:11 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know they're there, that's enough.
2:17 Stavros Halkias? You do have a stofers ass face, Jeff.
2:20 Speaker 03 That's right.
2:22 Stavros Halkias? You have a right down the middle, American cuisine face.
2:25 Speaker 03 Oh, you better believe we had milk with every meal.
2:27 Stavros Halkias? Oh, no. That shit is so fucking gross. That's interesting that that type of trash travels across the country, because foley is like that. Just pure, you know, Philadelphia.
2:39 Speaker 04 Dude, I went over to his place and he's making a turkey and cheese sandwich on white bread. Just mayo and a glass of milk.
2:48 Stavros Halkias? A glass of milk with a turkey mayo cheese sandwich?
2:52 Speaker 04 I was like, you're thirty six.
2:53 Stavros Halkias? That's every shade of white possible. That's every shade of like, from paper white to like cream. All your foods are in that spectrum.
3:05 Stavros Halkias? That's so fucking disgusting.
3:07 Speaker 03 Chips in there, there's potato chips.
3:10 Stavros Halkias? Yeah, the only pop of colors if you went nacho Doritos.
3:15 Stavros Halkias? If it's Cinco de Mayo and you have nacho, nacho Doritos.
3:20 Speaker 03 When it was sour cream on it, you better believe it was sour cream.
3:25 Stavros Halkias? Oh, fuck, that's so fucking gross.
3:28 Speaker 03 Yeah, it's good.
3:29 Stavros Halkias? That's not good.
3:30 Speaker 03 That's not how you're supposed to eat.
3:32 Stavros Halkias? That's literally what dessert should be like. What you're describing is like savory dessert, like texture, you know what I mean? Like, I'm thinking about that sliding down my throat and it's pissing me off.
3:43 Speaker 03 No, no, enjoy the slide. Enjoy it.
3:48 Speaker 04 He has a white bread that like sticks to the roof of your mouth.
3:51 Stavros Halkias? Yeah, no toasted, not toasted.
3:52 Speaker 04 Yeah, no, not at all.
3:53 Speaker 03 You gotta scoop that out with your tongue. That's how you do it.
3:57 Stavros Halkias? That fucking sucks, dude.
3:59 Speaker 03 My dad would order at a restaurant, he'd order spaghetti and then he'd go, when it comes out, a cold glass of milk with the spaghetti.
4:07 Stavros Halkias? That sucks.
4:09 Speaker 03 He didn't want it to warm up on the table. He needed it.
4:14 Stavros Halkias? I respect that at least. I do weirdly respect that he is strict with his temperatures. But that is, what is he chasing there? What's the thing you want?
4:25 Speaker 03 That's how you kids gotta be. Hot spaghetti.
4:29 Stavros Halkias? Cold milk? Hot spaghetti and cold milk?
4:34 Stavros Halkias? Because to me, milk is so, it's dessert coated, you know what I mean?
4:38 Speaker 03 Yeah, I know.
4:38 Stavros Halkias? It's like a treat, it's not to be eaten with your main course.
4:43 Speaker 04 Yes, it shouldn't be with savory food.
4:44 Stavros Halkias? So fucked up to be with savory food.
4:46 Speaker 03 I mean, it's in the breakfast category.
4:48 Stavros Halkias? Breakfast is.
4:49 Speaker 03 I think it can slide.
4:50 Stavros Halkias? No.
4:51 Speaker 03 Lunch.
4:52 Stavros Halkias? No, no, no, no, it cannot. First of all, it can't even slide to lunch. You got really greedy, Jeff. I was gonna, I was going to listen to you if you made a brunch based argument. If you made a brunch based argument, my ears were open, but you tried to move it all the way to dinner.
5:09 Speaker 03 You got your cereal and milk. Sandwich and milk.
5:14 Stavros Halkias? No, no, no, no. Absolutely not. Absolutely fucking lootly not.
5:19 Speaker 04 For years, for years, I've been craving pizza and cold milk.
5:23 Stavros Halkias? Yeah.
5:23 Speaker 04 And I think about myself eating that when I was a kid, and I'm like, damn, that sounds like it would fucking hit.
5:28 Stavros Halkias? But that's.
5:28 Speaker 03 Come on over.
5:29 Stavros Halkias? What that is, is, what that is, is summer camp palate. You know what I mean? That's like you get a box, you get a fu, that's like school lunch. We would get milk. I, that, you know, that started early for me because they would give us milk and as a child, I was disgusted. And I would always try and get chocolate milk and see it as a separate entity to my lunch, see it as my dessert.
5:52 Speaker 03 Oh, that's why it's dessert for you.
5:53 Stavros Halkias? Yeah, but that's, it's for, I think it's for everyone, it should be that way.
5:57 Speaker 03 I was over there being like, give me that extra milk.
5:58 Stavros Halkias? Can I, like, can I get that two per, can I get two two percents?
6:03 Speaker 04 You get two twos and a skim.
6:09 Speaker 03 The skim's for hydrating.
6:10 Stavros Halkias? Yeah, of course. Skim's basically water. You fucking have a, you have a squeeze bottle full of skim when you're running track.
6:19 Speaker 03 I'll give you the skim.
6:22 Stavros Halkias? But that's what you mix Gatorade with. You're at soccer practice with powdered Gatorade and skim. That actually doesn't, now I'm actually on board. That sounds like a creamsicle situation. Orange Gatorade and skim powder? I'm listening to that.
6:37 Speaker 04 That's protein fortified Gatorade right there.
6:41 Speaker 03 Finally.
6:42 Stavros Halkias? This is, yeah, we just invented something by accident. Out of the ashes of your, of a disgusting riff comes something, comes something possible and interesting.
6:52 Speaker 03 Beautiful Midwest riff.
6:55 Stavros Halkias? Yeah, the, the amount of dairy and, cause you, you, I'm guessing you're in a no dairy. Filipinos don't fuck with dairy. Asians in general, I feel like Koreans will put like fucking cheese on shit weirdly.
7:06 Speaker 04 Well, so do Asians, so do Filipinos.
7:07 Stavros Halkias? They do?
7:08 Speaker 04 Yeah, well, uh, there's like cheese ice cream.
7:10 Stavros Halkias? Interesting.
7:11 Speaker 04 Yeah.
7:11 Stavros Halkias? I guess I'm thinking of that like hot dog on a stick that Koreans will do. But I feel like a lot of that is them misunderstanding American culture. And trying to get in on it like late in the game.
7:22 Speaker 03 Oh, yeah, all those Korean hot dog spots.
7:24 Speaker 04 We, we go to that Korean hot dog spot around the corner from me and it's like, it's so much better than like corn dogs here.
7:31 Stavros Halkias? Mmm, interesting, interesting.
7:32 Speaker 03 It's like a fancy corn dog. It takes them like 15 minutes to make the thing.
7:36 Speaker 04 Yeah, they put a lot of work into it.
7:38 Stavros Halkias? I think actually a hot dog should not be elevated. I think it deserves to stay in the basement. It's a disgusting food and we should have it at barbecues and it should, we should take, no, I'm with Jeff here. I'm not trying to wait 15 minutes for a hot dog in almost any circumstance.
7:52 Speaker 04 When we did go, it took an, like an hour.
7:55 Stavros Halkias? An hour? For a bespoke cheese covered hot dog on a stick?
8:00 Speaker 03 He needed his Korean corn dog.
8:03 Speaker 03 Ronald Lee.
8:09 Stavros Halkias? Two very interesting palates over here.
8:11 Speaker 04 Jeff's coming in for revenge right now.
8:17 Stavros Halkias? That's fucking hilarious. Yeah, cuz it's it's all it's all I respect that about the the Asian palate. There's no there's no dairy really anywhere.
8:26 Speaker 04 No dairy, no, uh, lots of.
8:28 Stavros Halkias? Lots of spices and shit.
8:30 Speaker 04 Spices, umamis, whatever the hell that is.
8:33 Stavros Halkias? Give me some umami, brother.
8:34 Speaker 03 Oh, yeah, umami. Throws me off every time.
8:37 Stavros Halkias? Yeah, you're not in on umami.
8:39 Speaker 03 It's like purple, but it's got a milk vibe.
8:42 Stavros Halkias? No, no, you're thinking of.
8:43 Speaker 04 No, you're thinking of ube.
8:44 Speaker 03 ube, the purple stuff.
8:45 Stavros Halkias? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Umami.
8:48 Speaker 04 Umami.
8:49 Speaker 03 Wait, which one's that?
8:49 Stavros Halkias? Umami is not really a thing. It's more of a description of a type of like savory flavor.
8:55 Speaker 03 Yeah, that's what I meant.
8:56 Stavros Halkias? It's a rich.
8:57 Speaker 03 Yes.
8:57 Stavros Halkias? MSG has a lot of umami.
8:59 Speaker 04 Yeah, there's mushrooms involved in it.
9:02 Stavros Halkias? Sometimes tomato.
9:03 Speaker 03 Oh, it's a it's like a vibe.
9:05 Stavros Halkias? It's a vibe, yeah, it's closer to a vibe. It's a vibey. It's salty. It's it's the it's savory salty with like a a better like PR.
9:14 Speaker 03 Oh, okay.
9:15 Stavros Halkias? That's what umami is. It's good shit, though. You know what I mean?
9:18 Speaker 04 Yeah, I can't tell the difference, though.
9:20 Stavros Halkias? Between what?
9:22 Speaker 04 Umami and non-umami.
9:23 Stavros Halkias? Yeah.
9:24 Speaker 04 I don't know.
9:24 Stavros Halkias? I don't know, I just.
9:25 Speaker 04 My girlfriend made chili last night, and then she was like, oh, I put some uh, some umami in it. And I was like, I couldn't tell.
9:32 Stavros Halkias? But she might just be getting got by PR cuz now it's the it's the kind of thing like they'll be like wagyu steak at Walmart, and it's like, that's not wagyu. You know what I mean?
9:41 Speaker 04 Yeah.
9:41 Stavros Halkias? Whereas like umami, it's like, you know, I saw like at Costco, there's like umami flavoring. It's like, that's not. I think you gotta put MSG. I think MSG was, uh, it's been it's been, um, exonerated. As people used to think it would make you sick.
9:57 Speaker 04 Yeah.
9:57 Stavros Halkias? Um, and they were like, no MSG, but it's actually good for you.
10:01 Speaker 04 It is back.
10:01 Stavros Halkias? It's that's umami.
10:02 Speaker 03 MSG is back.
10:03 Stavros Halkias? MSG's back, brother.
10:05 Speaker 03 And that's umami.
10:06 Stavros Halkias? Yes, it is.
10:07 Speaker 03 All right, look at me. Let's go somewhere.
10:09 Stavros Halkias? It's part, yeah.
10:09 Speaker 03 I'm ready to tackle the day.
10:11 Stavros Halkias? Lots of different things can get you some umami.
10:12 Speaker 03 Oh, okay.
10:13 Stavros Halkias? You know, it's a deep richness. I feel like fish sometime, fish stock can give you a little umami. Some tomato, a lot of different flavors.
10:21 Speaker 03 How do you know when you're getting it?
10:23 Stavros Halkias? It's just, I mean, this is, you're pretty, you're really, you're barely hanging on to this concept. The questions you're asking really betray that you you're pretending to understand it a lot more than you actually do. So it's okay, we can drop it. We don't have to keep talking about umami.
10:45 Speaker 03 So someone at the table can disagree, though, if it's umami or not.
10:48 Stavros Halkias? I suppose the way you could disagree if something's too salty or too sweet. You could have, you could have opinions on what level.
10:55 Speaker 03 I could be like, this is an umami.
10:57 Stavros Halkias? Well.
10:57 Speaker 04 But how much umami is in it?
10:59 Stavros Halkias? Yeah, I think so.
11:00 Speaker 04 I don't even, I couldn't tell you the difference.
11:02 Stavros Halkias? I think it's just a, yeah, I mean, it's just a flavor. I don't know.
11:07 Speaker 04 Yeah.
11:10 Stavros Halkias? It's more of a richness, like a multiplier of flavors. It's not. We really don't have to spend that much time on this.
11:17 Speaker 03 But I could be at the table and be like, I disagree.
11:19 Stavros Halkias? You, I guess, the way you could with almost anything. Somebody could bring a plate of, let me put it in terms you understand. Somebody could bring a plate of new, of well-done noodles. And you could say, I could, they have some shape to them. These are not, these are not boiled enough. You know what I mean? So the way you could say that, you'd be like, I'd like these a little more boiled, please.
11:41 Speaker 03 So it's obvious, but it can be opinion-based.
11:44 Stavros Halkias? Yes, it could, I guess. To each his own, to each his own.
11:48 Speaker 03 I'm eating ice cream.
11:49 Stavros Halkias? This is like teaching a baby, this is like teaching a baby like what opinions are.
11:55 Stavros Halkias? Yes, some people like, even though you like cookies, doesn't mean she likes cookies. You can ask her, is this too much chocolate for you? You know, that kind of thing.
12:06 Speaker 03 I can't wait to disagree.
12:09 Stavros Halkias? When you go have some, some of Wilfred's girlfriend's chili. You could say, there's no umami in your bitch.
12:15 Speaker 03 I disagree.
12:18 Speaker 03 Get you with a fork and a knife.
12:19 Stavros Halkias? Yeah.
