An Instagram post gets an unexpected boost. A TikTok catches in the algorithm.

Sometimes that's all it takes to launch someone into internet fame. But then what?

This blue up is a new podcast documentary that reveals how social media

start and is made. It's a different kind of fame. That's not always as glamorous as it looks.

From Spotify and the Ring or Podcast Network, I'm Alyssa Bereznek.

You can listen to this blue up on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Recipe Club. The podcast where we debate. The best way to cook the things you want to eat.

My name is Chris Yeing and this week we are exploring the wild world of frozen pie crusts. Some of my earliest food memories are of pie.

I remember when I was five years old eating at a restaurant called Polly's Pies in Long Beach, California with my dad while my mom was up the street waiting to be admitted to the hospital to give birth to my baby brother.

We need a lot of pie restaurants back then. I don't know why we ever stopped because the kind of restaurant where dinner is basically the same exact dishes dessert just with a different filling is a pretty rare and special breed.

We would go to Marie Calendars and caros and Polly's and this is the kind of pie I grew up with commercially made pies made in a factory or a commissary somewhere and baked in the restaurant or sold frozen so you could take home and bake it at home.

But we never ever made our own pie since then I have married into a pie family. My wife's mother learned how to make pie crusts and pies from her.

Mother and sister in law who have won all kinds of blue ribbons like dozens and dozens of blue ribbons from state fairs in the birchers local county fairs.

These are the kinds of pie people who would probably rather lose an arm than for you to find a pre made frozen pie crust in their freezer.

I have learned over many years of spending time with my wife's family never to compliment a pie made by someone outside the family they are all garbage.

I've also learned that even if you bring a completely unrelated non pie dessert to a family function it will still be subject to comparison to the family pie pie is king and we are all but lowly subjects of the pie.

So if I said to say it's been quite a while since I've had a frozen pie crust and when I went to buy one to make the recipe for this episode I realized that they generally come in two packs.

So after making this week's recipe I had one leftover in the freezer and I got to say even knowing that my mother in law will probably hear this episode frozen pie crusts are pretty damn helpful to have around.

So the other day I was completely and utterly without a dinner plan I had to work later that night so I needed to make something that my wife could heat up and serve the kids as she was single parenting for the rest of the day and this spare pie crust and the freezer was just beckoning to me.

So I took it out of the freezer I docked it with a fork a bunch of times and I threw in the toastroven for like 15 minutes and got to work on this filling I microwaved three or four frozen chicken thighs in the any day.

Started sauteing some carrots potatoes and onions with butter in a big pan and once those were no longer raw I hacked it up tossed it into the pan with all the juices and the meat season it with fish sauce and like a little half spoon for the

chicken bouillon paste a little gov a black pepper and then kept sort of sauteing all that until it was you know 40 50 60% cook through I sprinkled that with some all purpose flour
