This, this, this is mythical. All right, Remy the Rat versus SpongeBob, who you got. Now, Spongebob, he has that speed and efficiency on the grill, but Remi the Rat, he's got that creativity. He's going to come in with that signature rat flare. Ultimately, it's going to come down to execution. But how is SpongeBob grilling underwater? That's a good point. This is a hot dog as a sandwich. Ketchup is a smoothie. Yeah, I put ice in my cereal, so what?

That makes me. grilling underwater. That's a good point. This is a hot dog as a sandwich.

Ketchup is a smoothie.

Yeah, I put ice in my cereal, so what? That makes no sense. A hot dog is a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich. What? Welcome to our podcast, A Hot Dog is a Sandwich, the show we break down the world's biggest food debates. I'm your host, Josh Scher, and joining me today is model actress Miss Universe 2012 and host of Next Gen Chef on Netflix.

Olivia Culpo, welcome to the pod. Thanks. Thanks for having me. I'm very excited to talk all things food.

I am very excited that you're here because I just finished Next Gen Chef on Netflix. All the episodes are out.

We're not going to give away any spoilers on who wins today.

But the finale really, really was absolutely incredible.

And this is your first time hosting a cooking competition, but you are a longtime food show junkie, I believe.

Oh, my gosh. I love food shows.

Everything that I remember about my childhood was revolved around food shows. Like, do you remember the two, it literally was called the Two Fat Sisters? Yeah, two, two fat, it was a two fat sister or two fat ladies? Two fat ladies, yeah, yeah. A little motorcycle, like that was my childhood. I've been watching cooking shows since the beginning of time. So for me, it's like, it's home. Yeah. And to be a part of one that I think is so great is an honor.

Absolutely. I feel like our generation, we're a dying breed. Not to say we're old. But I'm saying, like, people who grew up watching those kinds of food shows, it's really like transformed over the years, which is why it was so cool seeing, you know, on Netflix, right?

Like, a chef's table was such an incredible series. And then to see Netflix now throw their hat in

You can kind of go to the bathroom and pick up right where you left off. Like you don't have to be watching every single second.

You know, we're all so consumed with our daily lives. I just feel like food shows are the... kind of go to the bathroom and pick up right where you left off. Like, you don't have to be watching every single second.

You know, we're all so consumed with our daily lives. I just feel like food shows are the easiest thing to watch while also being entertaining. Oh, 100%. To me, I love just having them on in the background. But, like, growing up, it was Food Network. It was almost like they were my surrogate parents in a way. Yeah. It was a total latchkey kid. You come home and there's Rachel Ray making a comforting

30-minute meal. And I'm like, I can put bagged fries and make ground turkey chili, you know,

and have a comforting meal. So those like mean so much to me. How much of a trip was it for you
