Summary

What happens when restaurants become gas stations and farts disappear? You don't take food or fragrance for granted, especially around Thanksgiving. David Samson β€” host of Nothing Personal, gourmand, notorious lover of candy β€” didn't back down when Covid robbed him of his senses. He adapted, with phantom taste buds and a hedonistic calculus change to make his brain start tasting for him. He even took a Michelin-star vacation to Italy. And he put hot sauce on pretty much everything. So, of course, Pablo challenged him to the ultimate tasteless taste test, courtesy of Hot Ones.

I've been waiting to do this for a very long time with you.

you that I'd be happy to tell you

0:52.8

everything about it but that it was not my favorite topic in the world to talk about.

0:57.0

Okay, so you should know that David Sampson, the former World Series champion president of the Miami Marlins, is a remarkably candid human being.

1:08.0

I can think of just so many of his personal admissions that would embarrass pretty much any

1:14.1

other sports executive were they to become public. But not the case for the host of

1:20.2

nothing personal who perhaps not coincidentally was also the very first

1:34.0

But this topic, this idea is different for David.

1:43.0

This episode will actually be kind of dangerously personal,

especially by the time we get to the very end.

1:51.0

I had this idea for an episode before the show had launched long

1:57.7

before it and I want to preface this by saying that we talk a lot. I think more than people who
