Hi, this is Rachel McElroy. Hello, this is Griffin McElroy. And this is wonderful.

This is wonderful. I wasn't trying to say that like I was like, yeah, I mean a little bit.

I'm Rachel. I'm so cool. This is wonderful. Shall we talk about things we liked as good

that we're into? And it's, it's, thank you so much for joining us. I'm racking my brain

to think of something special to say. Is it okay to just be like this episode's normal?

You don't ever hear that on like TV and be media when the hosts of shows are like, this is a normal one.

We got a normal show for you tonight, guys. It's going to be a show that we are used to making and you're used to hearing.

Some people like that, right? Like when I watch Top Chef and they're like, today's episode's going to be crazy.

Sometimes I'm like, I just wanted a normal one, you know? Yeah.

Like restaurant wars. It's like this is going to be the most fucked up episode of Top Chef for the whole season.

And I'm like, I just wanted a normal, can't they just cook? I like the cookie.

And while I'm on my soap box here, sometimes on Top Chef, they're like, today you're going to cook outside.

There's bees everywhere and you can't use any cutlery at all. And it has to be a dish we can eat using just our faces

and no pans. And it's also it's snowing and there's hungry foxes.

And all your ingredients are canned goods.

All your ingredients are canned goods and you don't get a can opener.

And then they eat the food and Tom Calicchio is like, this kind of tastes bad.

Yeah, Tom. Yeah, Tom. Why do you think that is, Thomas?

This isn't the up to the level of quality I expected to be. Yeah, man.

You put a bunch of funny restrictions on them. Don't you think? That is part of the problem.

Anyway, we're watching Top Chef.

Yeah, we are.
