This is an I Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

All right. You know, they always say this is the morning show that eats. Yeah. That's why we have chefs. We have more chefs than any other show. No in demand. Today, Josh K. Pond is here. Hi, Josh. Hello, Josh. Good morning, everybody. Here he goes. I love him. Josh, actually, if you've ever seen him in action on TV or one of his restaurants or a burger bash at the food festival, wine festival, Josh is, boom, he's on. But when he walks into the room, he's a little more quiet. I'm not so sure about that. I mean, come on. I'm not a morning guy, but this is pretty cool. And we're here bright and earlier, he had a cup of coffee.

I had one of your pop-up bagels over there

to get the day star.

Hey.

Hey.

Oh, that's my boy, Adam Goldberg.

No better bagel in the entire world.

We were a bagel down. He said he would dress up with us for Harry Stiles Day, and he got all disco attired and everything and he played. It was great. That's nice, Paul.

Yeah. Yeah, we dragged you through the grass.

You give me an excuse to throw on some 70s garb,

but I'm ready to rock it.

So Josh grew up here in the New York area, Rockland County, and so you've decided to stay here, even though you have, you have a restaurant in Vegas, right? We have our first location of Cape Bond's Burgers and the beautiful, brand new, fat Las Vegas. Wow, that's not bad. If you have not been to Vegas in a while, I strongly suggest you pay that hotel visit because there's a brand new $4 billion property. And everything about the place is absolutely spectacular. The culinary collection is second to none. The spa, the pool, the gym, everything about it. The burgers? The burgers, yeah, Kate yeah kate bond's burgers award winning burgers uh it's pretty cool to have my name in lights in Vegas never thought that would happen but it's really something special and i was just talking to jim kirk and if you haven't been to the sphere you must go see any show we haven't seen me have you been to the sphere yet i'm not i don't i insisting that you guys take a group trip a group outing to to go to the sphere we'll set you up at the fountain blue there really is the eighth wonder of the world i don't care what show you're going to see the wizard of oz there listen seriously i'm that's next on my list because the movies are great too it is an incredible immersive experience it's something that everybody must experience and I think you guys should all go out there for the Wizard of Oz. You know Josh

as a lot of things in Vegas do they wear with time. At some point maybe 20, 30, 40 years

from now this fear will be like it'll be like gay porn. I'm not so sure you'll see these

big naked gay guys like slapping each other around. Not so sure that'll see these big naked gay guys

slapping each other around

Not so sure that's gonna ever happen to the sphere

But I've seen this way

I've seen every show of the sphere
