| 0:34.2 | Reach out to us with any questions, comments, or stuff you think should be featured on the podcast or on our site, food at markbitman.com. I am such a big Kyle McLaughlin fan. |
| 1:03.1 | It's borderline embarrassing at this point. |
| 1:06.2 | And I realized, is there anyone who isn't? |
| 1:09.5 | Okay, maybe you're not a fan fan, but I don't know if you can |
| 1:12.7 | find someone who actively dislikes him. He's that likable. And he's likable in real life, too. |
| 1:18.5 | As my dad and I learned when we interviewed Kyle in the summer of 2022. The night before we did that, |
| 1:25.4 | my dad and husband and I all watch Blue Velvet together for fun. |
| 1:30.2 | I'd never seen it. My dad and Nick promptly fell asleep. I was bewitched, and it was a bad idea |

| 2:00.5 | Housewives or as the voice in Riley's |

| 2:10.4 | by Bear and it's excellent. He's also on the culinary council along with Mark of one of our |
| 2:16.1 | favorite non-profits, God's love we deliver. |
| 2:19.0 | He enjoys food. He enjoys wine. And we enjoy Kyle. The gushing won't stop until the episode is over. |
| 2:26.1 | No apologies. Enjoy this. It's a great rerun. I've been meaning to ask you this question for 30 years. |
| 2:34.1 | Yes. We watched Blue for 30 years. Yes. |
| 2:35.4 | We watched Blue Velvet last night. |
| 2:38.2 | Ah, you mentioned you were going to do that. |
