1:02 Speaker 00 Let's talk about chicken.
1:03 Speaker 02 Yes.
1:03 Speaker 00 So what is a chicken? What would you say is chicken?
1:06 Speaker 02 Okay, to me...
1:07 Speaker 00 Pretend I'm an alien and I'm like, what do you do? You say, "I'm a chicken dater."
1:11 Speaker 02 Would you know what a bird is?
1:13 Speaker 00 Oh, yeah, bird. Yeah, I know bird. I know bird, yeah. I know, I know bird.
1:17 Speaker 02 It's a bird.
1:18 Speaker 00 Does it fly, it flies around?
1:20 Speaker 02 No, it actually can't fly.
1:22 Speaker 00 Really?
1:23 Speaker 02 I know.
1:23 Speaker 00 Really?
1:24 Speaker 02 I know, it's really tragic.
1:25 Speaker 00 That's pathetic of them.

The very popular Adam Friedland Show hats are more, are available now.
3:01 Adam Friedland? Thomas, Phil, you want one? I never gave you one. You don't wear hats, though. You've never been a hat guy. So cute, he's here. I love it. It's...
3:13 Adam Friedland? I love the... Freshman year, I met this guy. The very popular Adam Friedland Show hats are back in stock now, and guess what? We got fucking hoodies. We have this one, the squiggle.
3:28 Adam Friedland? And... Now the, the lab is fucked up. And guess what? Modeled after United States Army hoodie.
3:40 Adam Friedland? We got this one. This is gonna be the fucking hoodie of the winter and fall. My guest this week is British presenter and YouTube star Amelia Dimoldenberg, known for hosting the very popular Chicken Shop Date. The program has been host of countless stars over the years. Of course, Paul Mescal and the rapper Big Zoo Zoo Zoo.
4:00 Adam Friedland? What the fuck is that? Everyone knows, of course, that Amelia and I are both natural competitors. We share a tremendous amount of respect for the other's work. Mine, intellectual. Hers more of a poultry-based promotional tool for celebrity culture. We're equals. Our conversation reminded me a lot of the famous LeBron James tweet. "There's nothing like two heavyweights doing what they do best for the love off of the sport." Round after round, we traded blows. And in the end, any reasonable viewer would call it a stalemate, a draw. But shortly after we wrapped and she left the studio, and it was a mess, by the way, it dawned on me that my kill shot, my silver bullet, was still in the chamber.
4:43 Adam Friedland? It's embarrassing to admit this, but I want to take accountability for our audience. So this morning, I called her up and delivered my final blow. Hi, um, how are you?
4:55 Speaker 02 Hi, Adam.
4:56 Adam Friedland? Where are you? Sorry.
4:58 Speaker 02 I'm in L.A. Fancy hearing from you again.
5:01 Adam Friedland? Hi, okay, so I forgot, there was one question I forgot to ask. So you're obviously like a trailblazer in your space?
5:09 Speaker 02 Yeah.
5:10 Adam Friedland? So like, have you ever noticed any like imitators of like what you do?
5:15 Speaker 02 Um, I would probably just, I'd probably say I'm one of one.
5:21 Adam Friedland? Well, I saw a show, there's like another British lady that does like a dating, kind of a dating show as well. Did you see that?
5:28 Speaker 02 Um, no, wait, tell me, who is this?
5:32 Adam Friedland? Would you ever consider like breaking her record of 100 dates in one day?
5:36 Speaker 02 Oh, I know, okay, I know, yes, I know who you're talking about now.
5:40 Speaker 02 Good one, Adam.
5:41 Adam Friedland? All right, that's, that's all I had, yeah.
5:43 Speaker 02 Is that it?
5:44 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
5:45 Speaker 02 Well, great, I hope you feel good about that.
5:48 Adam Friedland? Okay.
5:48 Speaker 02 I'm going now, I'm hanging up.
5:50 Adam Friedland? Okay, all right, take care, bye.
5:52 Speaker 02 I'll hang up.
5:53 Adam Friedland? I don't know, okay.
5:54 Speaker 04 Dude, that sucked.
5:59 Adam Friedland? I don't think it sucked. What do you think, Zach? And with that, the interview is officially complete. Job done, game blouses, another win for me. I've been having a good run recently, some say generational. So please, without further ado, enjoy my conversation with Amelia de Moldenberg.
6:20 Adam Friedland? Our next guest is one of the most popular creators on the internet. Everyone, please welcome Amelia Dimoldenberg. Let's give it up. Make some noise! Hi.
6:32 Speaker 02 Hi.
6:34 Adam Friedland? You brought...
6:35 Speaker 02 Hi.
6:36 Adam Friedland? Welcome.
6:36 Speaker 02 Hi.
6:37 Adam Friedland? You're like collecting infinity stones.
6:39 Speaker 02 Go on, what do you mean?
6:40 Adam Friedland? You did Caleb, you did Hot Ones.
6:42 Speaker 02 Oh my god, yeah.
6:43 Adam Friedland? And now you're like scraping the bottom of the barrel.
6:45 Speaker 02 I'm scraping the barrel, yeah. Nice to see you.
6:48 Adam Friedland? Amelia, you're very famous.
6:49 Speaker 02 You're famous.
6:50 Adam Friedland? No, she... that's... come on.
6:52 Speaker 02 What, you're famous?
6:52 Adam Friedland? Don't condescend me.
6:53 Speaker 02 You're famous!
6:54 Adam Friedland? What do you mean? You know like...
6:55 Speaker 02 You're famous to me.
6:57 Adam Friedland? Thank you. She's very nice, guys. Wait, you brought like an army of...
7:03 Speaker 02 I know, I did bring quite a lot of people.
7:05 Adam Friedland? We've had rappers here that have brought less people.
7:07 Speaker 02 I know.
7:08 Adam Friedland? And they were... and they're better behaved.
7:09 Speaker 02 And bigger bags.
7:11 Adam Friedland? You... I feel... you brought hair and makeup. Can I... I feel like...
7:16 Speaker 02 Do you want hair and makeup? Do you want to use my hair and makeup?
7:19 Adam Friedland? I kind of asked them and they ignored me, but yeah, yeah. You guys would... would it be cool? Absolutely. Thanks, guys. Wait, really?
7:25 Speaker 02 How much time do we have? I don't know how much time.
7:27 Adam Friedland? I don't know how much time we have.
7:28 Speaker 02 Because I think it's...
7:29 Adam Friedland? So you grew up in Marlebone. It's one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in London?
7:34 Speaker 02 Uh, it's... well, I actually grew up in... I would actually say I did grow up in the dodgy end of Marlebone.
7:39 Adam Friedland? What's dodgy about it?
7:40 Speaker 02 Just like, there's one part that's just more... less dodgy than the other.
7:44 Adam Friedland? Really? Thank you, guys.
7:46 Speaker 02 Thanks.
7:47 Adam Friedland? Wow.
7:48 Speaker 02 I think you look...
7:49 Adam Friedland? They're so gentle, too, that brush. Very soft. It's very soft. Very comforting. I want that to be an aspect of my life. Yeah, it's a nice thing to have. Just like... Thank you so much. Thank you. Wow, I feel... I felt like comforted.
8:04 Speaker 02 I think you look...
8:05 Adam Friedland? Do I tamper?
8:06 Speaker 02 I think you look worse now.
8:07 Adam Friedland? Do I look worse? I asked for the natural look. All right. I feel like it's very benevolent of you to do all the other shows.
8:16 Speaker 02 I get so excited when I get to meet other hosts, as you would say.
8:20 Adam Friedland? Yeah, for me, it's like, um, what am I doing making something that's one hour long in an era where people can only pay attention for 10 seconds?
8:28 Speaker 02 I agree.
8:28 Adam Friedland? I've been researching and one thing that like impressed me is like you were kind of after college or like during college, it was a column, the date.
8:36 Speaker 02 Before, yeah.
8:38 Adam Friedland? Is it true that you hadn't been on a date prior to do the column?
8:42 Speaker 02 Yeah, but I started it when I was 17, so I feel like maybe it's not too crazy.
8:46 Adam Friedland? Yeah, 17.
8:47 Speaker 02 When was your first date? Like, how old were you?
8:49 Adam Friedland? Hmm, I think 32.
8:50 Speaker 02 Yeah.
8:51 Adam Friedland? Yeah. Was it, did she know it was a date?
8:55 Speaker 02 Did she know?
8:56 Adam Friedland? If it, is it, does the, does the other one have to know it's a date? Because that would be 36.
9:01 Speaker 02 How old are you?
9:02 Adam Friedland? I'm 38.
9:03 Speaker 02 You're 38?
9:04 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah, I was born during the Reagan administration.
9:06 Speaker 02 Oh, my god.
9:07 Adam Friedland? I'm 38 years old, yeah. I've done really nothing with my life.
9:10 Speaker 02 You actually look younger than 38.
9:12 Adam Friedland? I don't know.
9:13 Speaker 02 What did you say, I know?
9:14 Adam Friedland? I know.
9:14 Speaker 02 Or did you say, I don't know?
9:16 Adam Friedland? I know, yeah. Um, yeah, so like, wait, like, you've, obviously, what's impressive is you had a vision early on that you wanted to like adopt a video format for, you studied journalism, of course, right?
9:28 Speaker 02 Yeah. So, is this a, you're serious, this is a serious, is a serious interview?
9:33 Adam Friedland? No, it's like, I'm sure, I don't know, it's, there's substance. You want it to be jokes?
9:38 Speaker 02 No, no, I don't, actually.
9:39 Adam Friedland? So you are doing a joke?
9:40 Speaker 02 No, I actually don't want it to be jokes.
9:41 Adam Friedland? Your early episodes of your show were, who's Gets? Who's that?
9:44 Speaker 02 Say, can you tell me the question again? Oh, Gets is the first episode of Chicken Shop Date.
9:49 Adam Friedland? Who is that?
9:49 Speaker 02 He is a UK rapper.
9:51 Adam Friedland? Rapper. And then you also had Fuse, O D G.
9:55 Speaker 02 Yep, he's an Afrobeat artist.
9:57 Adam Friedland? Okay, and Jammer? Who's that?
9:58 Speaker 02 Jammer, he's in Boy Better Know, which is Skepta's crew.
10:02 Adam Friedland? Also a rapper?
10:03 Speaker 02 Yep, with J M E.
10:04 Adam Friedland? And A J Tracy.
10:06 Speaker 02 A J Tracy, he's another rapper.
10:08 Adam Friedland? My sister's calling me right now.
10:09 Speaker 02 Oh, can I see her?
10:10 Adam Friedland? Yeah, you want to say hi, Zoe?
10:11 Speaker 02 Yeah.
10:11 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah.
10:13 Speaker 02 Hi, Zoe, it's Amelia.
10:17 Speaker 05 Hello.
10:19 Speaker 02 Hello. You know, yeah, we're recording. But you know what's really funny?
10:24 Adam Friedland? She has a sister Zoe.
10:25 Speaker 02 I have a sister called Zoe.
10:27 Adam Friedland? A to Z.
10:28 Speaker 02 So it's, we're both A to Z. Because I'm Amelia and she's Zoe and you're Zoe and this Adam.
10:33 Adam Friedland? How crazy is that? We got excited on the pre-interview. And we said, I said that that's not the interest.
10:40 Speaker 02 I know, she's saying that Zoe is superior as a sibling.
10:43 Adam Friedland? Zoe is superior? Shut up, Zoe.
10:48 Speaker 05 I'm sorry to interrupt your recording.
10:50 Adam Friedland? Why are you cheating on me in the middle of the show, Zoe?
10:53 Speaker 02 It's okay. Oh my god, and you have the umlaut on your E as well.
10:56 Adam Friedland? Yeah, dot dot.
10:56 Speaker 05 I do.
10:57 Speaker 02 Oh god, it's all making sense.
10:58 Adam Friedland? Is your sister a dot dot?
10:59 Speaker 02 Yes, she is.
11:00 Adam Friedland? She's Z O E dot dot?
11:01 Speaker 02 Yeah, and she gets upset when there's no dot dot.
11:03 Adam Friedland? You're literally tween.
11:05 Speaker 02 We're tween.
11:05 Adam Friedland? We're tween.
11:06 Speaker 02 Alright, I'm gonna pass you back to Adam now.
11:07 Adam Friedland? Alright, I gotta go back to Zoe. We're on the show right now, okay? Can you, you knew that, okay?
11:13 Speaker 05 No, I did not.
11:14 Adam Friedland? What are you calling about, some fucking Taylor Swift kind of thing or something?
11:17 Speaker 05 No, fuck off.
11:18 Adam Friedland? Fuck you, Abiza, okay. So annoying, dude.
11:21 Speaker 02 That was cute.
11:22 Adam Friedland? So, so, yeah, what was it that like kind of made you wanna like transition from dating in a column to like doing a video series?
11:33 Speaker 02 Well, because when it was, when I was doing the column in the magazine, because it started off in a youth club.
11:37 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
11:38 Speaker 02 And...
11:38 Adam Friedland? What is a youth club?
11:39 Speaker 02 Like, oh yeah, because I feel like in America they don't really have them. It's like, somewhere you would go after school and meet people that you didn't actually go to school with. In like a space. And you would do like extracurricular activities. But the one that I went to, we specifically made a magazine.
11:55 Adam Friedland? You know that photo series of like kids at a club? Like, English kids at a club? And there's like DJ and stuff?
12:02 Speaker 02 No.
12:03 Adam Friedland? I'll show you, there's a really funny picture, but keep going.
12:06 Speaker 02 Yeah, I went to this youth club and we made a magazine and... Yeah, it started off as the column, but when I was doing it, it felt like funny and awkward and I was already playing this like persona. And I thought that it would be cool if it was actually filmed so people could see it.
12:21 Adam Friedland? So like, um, so since you hadn't been on a date at seventeen and you've been doing this since then, is this, is there some notion of like a sexual awakening that you've had in the process? Because the, the cool thing about the show is that there is a blurring of a line between like the format of a date and then it does feel real.
12:39 Speaker 02 Yes, it is real.
12:40 Adam Friedland? It, it, you conceive of it as real?
12:42 Speaker 02 No, like, I feel like the chemistry is real, can be real.
12:45 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
12:46 Speaker 02 I feel like I kind of have to-
12:47 Adam Friedland? And the most successful episodes have been the ones where it's like palpable sexual-
12:51 Speaker 02 Sexual chemistry. I actually feel like it's actually not quite, I feel like it's not sexual chemistry. Do you think it's sexual chemistry? I feel like it's more just like cute, cute chemistry.
13:00 Adam Friedland? No, it's innuendo for sure.
13:02 Speaker 02 I always thought that I would meet the love of my life on the show.
13:06 Adam Friedland? On YouTube.
13:08 Speaker 02 I'm realizing now, I don't think that's gonna happen.
13:10 Adam Friedland? Yeah. Has it, has it complicated your actual life? Because it does feel like it's not purely performance. I mean, it is a type of performance, but it does, there is a, a aspect of reality in it.
13:22 Speaker 02 Yeah, I actually feel like sometimes I get in my head about it and I, I feel like the reason I've been single for, what now, like nearly six years is because I have a dating show.
13:33 Adam Friedland? Really?
13:33 Speaker 02 What do you think?
13:34 Adam Friedland? That stresses me out so much.
13:35 Speaker 02 What do you, what do you think?
13:36 Adam Friedland? That really stresses me out. What do I think?
13:38 Speaker 02 Yeah.
13:38 Adam Friedland? I think-
13:39 Speaker 02 Do you think that could be true?
13:40 Adam Friedland? I mean, I wouldn't, I don't know. I mean, like, if that's true, it stresses me out.
13:45 Speaker 02 It stresses me out. It keeps me up at night.
13:47 Adam Friedland? Well, it kind of like makes your, yourself as a person kind of available to an audience, right? Like, there's like a, like, love is like a, you know, like, I kind of, uh, have learned since I've been online, because you're never prepared to be known, right?
14:05 Speaker 02 Yeah.
14:06 Adam Friedland? Right? Like, suddenly you're, you're anonymous and then suddenly you realize people know who you are, right? And it's weird to transition into that. Like, and I found that it was weird. And then I realized, you know, a couple of years into it, that I have to like draw a distinction.
14:21 Speaker 02 Distin- distinct line.
14:22 Adam Friedland? Yeah, a lot, demarcate, like, kind of- My personal life and then racist podcasting or whatever the fuck I do.
14:30 Speaker 02 But that is what I do as well. Like, I feel like my private life is very private.
14:34 Adam Friedland? But have you had like a boyfriend watching and be like, what if?
14:37 Speaker 02 No, no, they've never been annoyed.
14:39 Adam Friedland? Really?
14:39 Speaker 02 About it. Well, not to me, anyway. But maybe they are secretly like insecure about it.
14:45 Adam Friedland? Elba's gonna fuck my girlfriend.
14:45 Speaker 02 Like, do you think maybe, I feel like maybe they could be insecure about it and never tell me. But it's also not real.
14:51 Adam Friedland? I mean, you just said it's real, though.
14:53 Speaker 02 No, but it's real and it's not real. Do you know what I mean?
14:57 Adam Friedland? I stressed you out just now.
14:58 Speaker 02 Like, this is real and not like, it's real in a sense that like, why couldn't I meet someone via the show?
15:04 Adam Friedland? Well, you dated someone from the show, right?
15:06 Speaker 02 Who?
15:06 Adam Friedland? A rapper.
15:07 Speaker 02 Who?
15:08 Adam Friedland? A H.
15:09 Speaker 02 H.
15:10 Adam Friedland? H.
15:11 Speaker 02 We didn't, where was like, we didn't really know.
15:13 Adam Friedland? It's crazy to hear so many names of rappers and I'm like, what the fuck is that?
15:17 Speaker 02 I know.
15:18 Adam Friedland? Do you know that we also have hip hop in America?
15:20 Speaker 02 Really?
15:21 Adam Friedland? And it sounds good, actually.
15:23 Speaker 02 Really?
15:23 Adam Friedland? Yeah, it's all like.
15:24 Speaker 02 You're kidding me.
15:25 Adam Friedland? And I went to the road and I sold the food.
15:28 Speaker 02 That sounds really good.
15:29 Adam Friedland? And I get made the peas.
15:31 Speaker 02 You made the peas?
15:32 Adam Friedland? I made, I made peas and I sold the food. That's how it's, it's like.
15:39 Adam Friedland? Can you, do you go bar for bar ever with any of them?
15:42 Speaker 02 I go band for band.
15:44 Adam Friedland? You go band for band?
15:45 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm.
15:45 Adam Friedland? You're probably, you're probably richer than a lot of.
15:48 Speaker 02 Than you?
15:49 Adam Friedland? For sure richer than me.
15:50 Speaker 02 For sure.
15:51 Adam Friedland? For sure.
15:52 Speaker 02 For sure.
15:52 Adam Friedland? For sure.
15:53 Speaker 02 For sure.
15:53 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah, for sure.
15:55 Speaker 02 For sure.
15:55 Adam Friedland? Have you ever considered going on a chicken date with a poor person?
16:00 Speaker 02 No.
16:01 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
16:03 Speaker 02 It's not worth it. Don't you think? Yeah.
16:07 Adam Friedland? I guess so. So, do you think that people might conceive of you as a gold digger then?
16:12 Speaker 02 A gold digger?
16:13 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah. Cause you're only going with these fancy pantses on your chicken date.
16:17 Speaker 02 Well. I don't think so. I feel like if you get the tone right, you don't really come across as a gold digger.
16:24 Adam Friedland? Well, I read the comments. She's like, everyone's, she's after Andrew Garfield's
16:28 Speaker 02 Money.
16:29 Adam Friedland? bank account, yeah. You know, it's funny, because like, it's like, the first time I watched Mr. Beast, like, the first thirty seconds, I'm like, what the fuck is this? And then thirty seconds in, you're, I'm like, I'm trying to see what this is about. Right? There's like a hypnotizing aspect to it. And I'd seen clips of your show, but like, now I've obviously been watching full episodes, and I found myself being like, I hope they just fuck after this.
16:52 Speaker 02 Do you, is it similar to Mr. Beast, do you think?
16:54 Adam Friedland? Much like Mr. Beast. Yeah. I hope after he tortures these people for money, he has sex with them.
17:02 Speaker 02 Yeah, someone came up to me at a party the other day and was like convinced that I was dating someone from the show.
17:08 Adam Friedland? Who, H?
17:09 Speaker 02 No, like, I think they were convinced that I was dating, I can't remember who it was. It was either Andrew Garfield or Harris Dickinson. And I was like, no.
17:16 Adam Friedland? So embarrassing.
17:17 Speaker 02 I know, it's so embarrassing.
17:18 Adam Friedland? So embarrassing.
17:19 Speaker 02 And I was like, they're both in relationships with other people.
17:22 Adam Friedland? Okay, let's talk about chicken.
17:23 Speaker 02 Yes.
17:25 Adam Friedland? So what is a chicken? What would you say is chicken?
17:28 Speaker 02 A chicken to me-
17:29 Adam Friedland? What the hell even is it?
17:30 Speaker 02 What, to me?
17:31 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
17:31 Speaker 02 Okay, to me, it is
17:38 Adam Friedland? Pretend I'm an alien, or I come from a country that doesn't have chicken. And I'm like, what do you do? You say, I, I, I'm a chicken dater, okay? And then I'm like, what the hell even is chicken?
17:51 Speaker 02 And Matt, could, would you know what a bird is? At this point?
17:56 Adam Friedland? Oh, yeah, bird. Yeah, I know bird.
17:57 Speaker 02 You know what bird is?
17:57 Adam Friedland? I know bird, yeah. I know, I know bird.
18:00 Speaker 02 Okay, it's, it's a bird.
18:01 Adam Friedland? Does it fly, it flies around?
18:03 Speaker 02 No. It's actually a crazy story. So, basically, it's a bird, and it looks like a bird and it has wings, but it actually can't fly.
18:13 Adam Friedland? Really?
18:14 Speaker 02 I know.
18:15 Adam Friedland? Really?
18:15 Speaker 02 I know, it's really tragic.
18:17 Adam Friedland? That's pathetic of them. It's kind of laughable.
18:20 Speaker 02 It's actually weird.
18:21 Adam Friedland? They should like, literally, what the hell, this fucking idiot.
18:24 Speaker 02 Yeah.
18:24 Adam Friedland? They have wings that they don't use?
18:26 Speaker 02 No, and that's why-
18:27 Adam Friedland? What do they use the wings for?
18:28 Speaker 02 And that's why they get killed.
18:30 Adam Friedland? Really? They get killed?
18:31 Speaker 02 They get killed.
18:31 Adam Friedland? Do you feel like you put chicken on the map with your show? Ten years, eleven years now.
18:37 Speaker 02 I think chicken was on the map before.
18:38 Adam Friedland? Hmm, I feel like I wasn't hearing much about chicken.
18:40 Speaker 02 Yeah, but you weren't hearing about it, okay.
18:41 Adam Friedland? Yeah, eleven years ago, it was kind of, it was more exotic.
18:45 Speaker 02 Really, it was like beef?
18:46 Adam Friedland? It was like venison.
18:47 Speaker 02 Venison, yeah, yeah.
18:48 Adam Friedland? Yeah, it was like you had, you know, you're like, I've heard of that.
18:52 Speaker 02 Yeah. Is that the one where they put the little cow in a box? And they don't let it?
18:58 Adam Friedland? No, that's veal.
18:59 Speaker 02 Oh.
19:00 Adam Friedland? Do you know how many chickens have been eaten since you started your show? I did, we did the math here, we crunched the numbers.
19:06 Speaker 02 Really?
19:06 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
19:08 Speaker 02 But then you'd have to know how many.
19:09 Adam Friedland? In the world.
19:10 Speaker 02 Chicken, since I've started, oh, in the world.
19:13 Adam Friedland? Uh huh.
19:15 Adam Friedland? Pop quiz.
19:16 Speaker 02 Honestly, I'm gonna say like a billion.
19:19 Adam Friedland? Not even close.
19:20 Speaker 02 Not even close? More than a billion?
19:22 Adam Friedland? Yes.
19:23 Speaker 02 More than a billion?
19:24 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
19:26 Speaker 02 Ten billion.
19:27 Adam Friedland? Not even close.
19:28 Speaker 02 Go on.
19:30 Adam Friedland? Ninety-three billion chickens.
19:31 Speaker 02 Ninety-three billion?
19:33 Adam Friedland? Do you feel like?
19:34 Speaker 02 Are you a vegetarian?
19:35 Adam Friedland? No.
19:36 Speaker 02 Okay.
19:36 Adam Friedland? No. We have a chart here, actually, well, sorry. We have a chart of, these are the chickens eaten per year, twenty fourteen to twenty twenty-five. So this is two years into your show. In twenty sixteen, there were zero chickens eaten in the world.
19:53 Speaker 02 What? Zero?
19:55 Adam Friedland? Yeah, and now, yeah. Now, at this, at this point, the last eleven years have been ninety, ninety-three billion.
20:03 Speaker 02 Wow, and it's all because of me?
20:05 Adam Friedland? I think maybe.
20:06 Speaker 02 I think so.
20:07 Adam Friedland? You are kind of a chicken influencer.
20:08 Speaker 02 I am.
20:09 Adam Friedland? I thought, I saw a really cool video, though.
20:11 Speaker 02 Okay.
20:12 Adam Friedland? I was thinking of a...
20:16 Adam Friedland? I think that maybe you could, for your show...
20:20 Adam Friedland? I think it kind of relates to like what you do, and I just wanna, you know, I'm new to like YouTube and stuff, so people do reaction.
20:28 Speaker 02 Oh, I'm reacting to this.
20:29 Adam Friedland? Yeah, so you could, I'd just like you to react to this video.
20:34 Speaker 02 Is it gonna, is it chickens being killed?
20:37 Adam Friedland? I don't know.
20:40 Speaker 02 It is. It's baby chickens being murdered.
20:45 Speaker 02 That's not how they make chicken nuggets.
20:46 Adam Friedland? I thought it, reminded me of your show.
20:52 Adam Friedland? No, no. You know. The end is good.
20:57 Adam Friedland? Alright. Oh, that was the end? That was disgusting. Okay. Today's episode is sponsored by Surfshark, a modern VPN designed with the user in mind. Surfshark is the only VPN that has reached the coverage of 100 countries. Keep it up for Surfshark, guys.

25:59 Speaker 02 She's vegan.
26:00 Adam Friedland? She's vegan? What happens when someone's vegan on the show?
26:02 Speaker 02 They eat chips.
26:03 Adam Friedland? They eat chips?
26:04 Speaker 02 Yeah, they eat chips.
26:05 Adam Friedland? You don't say like, fucking, stop being a-
26:08 Speaker 02 Man up.
26:09 Adam Friedland? Stop being a freaking-
26:10 Speaker 02 Loser.
26:11 Adam Friedland? No, snob.
26:12 Speaker 02 Okay.
26:13 Adam Friedland? I would say snob.
26:14 Speaker 02 No, they can eat chips.
26:15 Adam Friedland? They can eat chips?
26:16 Speaker 02 Yeah.
26:17 Adam Friedland? Really? What if someone's kosher?
26:19 Speaker 02 They can eat chips.
26:20 Adam Friedland? Have you had a kosher person on the show?
26:21 Speaker 02 I think they can actually eat... Is kosher the same as halal?
26:29 Adam Friedland? I think, I would hope that one day...
26:35 Adam Friedland? Isn't that beautiful?
26:36 Speaker 02 That is actually so beautiful.
26:37 Adam Friedland? Isn't it so nice?
26:38 Speaker 02 That is actually beautiful.
26:39 Adam Friedland? I would just hope that-
26:40 Speaker 02 That's really nice.
26:41 Adam Friedland? One day they could just do, have it be the same.
26:43 Speaker 02 I agree.
26:47 Adam Friedland? Wait, so-
26:48 Speaker 02 So yes, I think yes is the answer.
26:49 Adam Friedland? What is it about, in your estimation, what makes the show so popular? What do people like about it?
26:55 Speaker 02 Me.
26:56 Adam Friedland? You?
26:57 Speaker 02 Me.
26:58 Adam Friedland? They want to see you get laid.
26:59 Speaker 02 Yeah.
27:00 Adam Friedland? I think it is.
27:01 Speaker 02 And they never do. I feel like people like watching the interaction. I don't even necessarily think it's like to do with the actual person themselves. They don't have to be like the most famous person in the world, or they don't, they can be a complete unknown or whatever. It's like you're watching the interaction between me and the guest, like the chemistry. I think people like that it's a date.
27:20 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
27:21 Speaker 02 And I feel like you often get a side to someone you haven't seen before. Through the format. Well, not a sexy side, like just.
27:28 Adam Friedland? Do you think that like you're like a people like an avatar like what what percent percentage of your audience is male versus female?
27:35 Speaker 02 So it used to be way more male and now, yeah, because I think because.
27:41 Adam Friedland? The internet.
27:42 Speaker 02 The internet, yes, and.
27:44 Adam Friedland? They can't even figure out computers.
27:47 Speaker 02 Who, the men?
27:48 Adam Friedland? Girls.
27:48 Speaker 02 Oh, girls, I'm sorry.
27:49 Adam Friedland? I'm just kidding, I'm kidding.
27:51 Speaker 02 Um, and now it's more kind of fifty fifty. Did you say I'm not in the camera?
27:55 Adam Friedland? They don't know buttons. Uh, yeah, cuz what I would imagine is that a girl is like you're like an avatar for them like they're on a date with like.
28:04 Speaker 02 Hmm.
28:05 Adam Friedland? A hunk.
28:06 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, I feel like.
28:06 Adam Friedland? And they're like, I hope she gets it and then it's like it's like they're getting it.
28:10 Speaker 02 But you even said you felt like that.
28:13 Adam Friedland? Yeah, I was like, it's just like, I wanna see what happens next.
28:17 Speaker 02 Same.

35:14 Speaker 02 This guy is hot.

35:17 Speaker 02 I knew it! I knew you would do something like this to me.
35:22 Adam Friedland? Would you go on a chicken day with this guy?
35:24 Speaker 02 Who's that now?
35:25 Adam Friedland? It's, I, it's a picture.

35:32 Speaker 02 You're getting another call on your iPad.

35:37 Speaker 02 Take, take, take the call on your iPad, cuz I wanna see the visual of you on, on the iPad on the phone.
35:42 Adam Friedland? Would you go on a date with this guy?
35:44 Speaker 02 No.

35:48 Speaker 02 I think he's really ugly. Who is it?

35:54 Speaker 02 Oh. What, who's that?
35:56 Adam Friedland? Would you go on a date with this guy?
36:00 Speaker 02 Someone's calling you again.
36:02 Adam Friedland? Stop it.
36:02 Speaker 02 Like, who is calling you on the iPad?
36:04 Adam Friedland? Okay, sorry.
36:05 Speaker 02 I didn't even know iPads could take calls.
36:07 Adam Friedland? Would you, well, it's, I don't know. Would you go on a, okay.

36:16 Speaker 02 Jimmy Savile.
36:25 Adam Friedland? When life gets busy, meal prep falls off the list. And even when we do it, it's the same boring chicken and rice on repeat. That's why I reach for Tempo. Balanced, fresh meals that are actually good for you, taste great, and are ready in minutes. No skipping meals, no sad takeout, no endless prep, no poisoning by Thomas.
36:51 Adam Friedland? Tempo delivers fresh, chef-crafted, dietitian-approved meals right to your door. Each meal is perfectly portioned for lunch or dinner and ready in just two minutes. And that means real food, real fast, without the sad desk lunch or drive-through regret. With 20 new recipes every week made from nutrient-rich ingredients, Tempo keeps things exciting and helps you stay consistent with the healthy habits. And no matter what your goals are, there's a Tempo meal for you. Protein-packed meals with up to 30 grams of protein, calorie-conscious, carb-conscious, even fiber-rich. And sometimes I do be needing that. I had the enchilada beef bowl, and guys, I thought I'd had enchilada beef bowls before.
37:36 Adam Friedland? You know, if you walk up to anyone on the street, you say, "Have you had an enchilada beef bowl?" And they say, "Yeah, of course. What am I, a baby?" Everyone's had enchilada beef bowls, but when I had this, it was transcendent. It was like hearing the Avicii song "Levels" for the first time. And I realized I'd never actually had an enchilada beef bowl to begin with. I realized I'd been lied to. It's convenient but also flexible enough to fit the way you eat. Tempo was even given the official partner of the 2025 CrossFit Games. Who are you going for in that, Caleb?
38:09 Adam Friedland? The girls. Adele Dazin.

41:58 Speaker 02 Go on, do, what's their song that they do?
42:00 Adam Friedland? Uh, "Everyday's checking in the pouring rain. No more trouble, mate." Uh, when I was 18, I found out about a British boy band of seventeen children who did a cover of the Bone Thugs.
42:12 Speaker 02 Is it a cover?
42:14 Adam Friedland? Yeah, it's Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. I thought you have a hip-hop chicken show.
42:17 Speaker 02 Oh my gosh, I did not know this.
42:21 Adam Friedland? It's seventeen, like, teenage children that do a cover of, uh, "Crossroads" by Bone Thugs.
42:27 Speaker 02 Oh my god, that's a cover?
42:28 Adam Friedland? And then my friends were like, yeah, like-
42:30 Speaker 05 Real quick, Amelia, can you move your hair?
42:32 Speaker 02 Oh, sorry. Here?
42:34 Speaker 05 Yeah.
42:35 Adam Friedland? Can you move your hair?
42:36 Speaker 05 Thomas texted me about it.
42:38 Adam Friedland? She went into our all-male workplace and now you're talking that way?
42:42 Adam Friedland? Uh, I'm sorry, okay, well-
42:44 Speaker 02 Okay.
42:44 Adam Friedland? It's just family is, okay. All right, can I just, I wanna know, um-
42:49 Speaker 02 Go on.
42:50 Adam Friedland? Have you ever been hurt on a chicken date?
42:53 Speaker 02 Well, like, physically or emotionally?
42:56 Adam Friedland? Emotionally, I guess.
42:59 Speaker 02 Not really.
43:00 Adam Friedland? Really? I've been around the block, you know, myself.
43:03 Speaker 02 I know you have.
43:04 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
43:04 Speaker 02 I know you've been around the block.
43:05 Adam Friedland? I've been hurt. A lot of people I went on dates with, I found out they were later trying to promote some sort of British rap thing.
43:14 Speaker 02 Really?
43:14 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
43:15 Speaker 02 In what way?
43:16 Adam Friedland? I don't know.
43:17 Speaker 02 Okay.
43:17 Adam Friedland? Does that ever happen to you?
43:19 Speaker 02 Yeah. It's almost like every time I go on a date, someone's trying to like sell their movie or like their song or something and it's like.
43:27 Adam Friedland? You are.
43:28 Speaker 02 Wish they were just there for me.

46:07 Adam Friedland? No. Who, no. What, what are we talking about? I thought we were talking about chicken.
46:13 Speaker 02 We are.
46:13 Adam Friedland? I thought we were talking about chicken. Do you ever worry that your addiction to fried foods will cause you to die earlier?
46:19 Speaker 02 Yes!
46:20 Adam Friedland? Fans obviously have a parasocial relationship to people who get famous online, right? There, there have to be people that are just like, that is my dream, girl.
46:29 Speaker 02 Yeah, there has to be.
46:30 Adam Friedland? Have you met any of them?
46:31 Speaker 02 There has to be.
46:31 Adam Friedland? Yeah.

46:53 Speaker 02 You're not available. You're not available.
46:56 Adam Friedland? And then they say, no, you say, I love you, and then the guy says, I love you, and then you'd say, hey, slow down, buster, and then he sits there and he's like, I'm a, I'm such a loser.
47:03 Speaker 02 I'm toxic.
47:04 Adam Friedland? But it is cool that you convince famous people, like, oh, I'm a loser.
47:09 Speaker 02 I don't think they think I'm a loser. Do you think they think I'm a loser?
47:11 Adam Friedland? No, the guy always think, no, you, you like, you sun famous guys.
