The human drama in our food world is great, you know, because I can talk about international relations, national, international security, um, you know, voter suppression, climate crisis. I mean, every story that I want to tell, I can tell through food. That's my, food is my tool. Sports is your tool. But we tell the same kinds of stories. It's the same stuff. I was watching, you know,

I follow so many different sports things on my phone, and now my phone knows what I like, all the AI stuff that's integrated into these social media platforms and on our devices.

So I turn on my laptop or my phone, and it's throwing stuff at me that I love, which for an addict, I can sit there for hours watching the right kind of little videos, and then I yell at my kid for spending five minutes on his phone. But that's great. I saw last night, someone was counting down like greatest moment in sports.

And what came in at number two was the Korean Winter Olympics, the cross-country ski race, where we had never been on the podium in cross-country skiing. It was Sweden, Norway, Sweden, Norway, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Finland, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Norway. And... which is great if you love herring, which I do, but US had never done it. And what was her name?

Diggins, the young who wound up getting the gold medal. And she was third by like 10 yards over the last quarter mile. And you just watch her digging deep. And it's that famous picture where she's sticking her foot out, like stretching, doing a split to get her tip of her ski across the line and squeaks out the gold and then collapses, literally collapses, having spent every ounce of energy.

And I hadn't seen it in years. And it's a little 35, 40-second clip of the end of that race at night. And you can see that the Scandinavian skiers are – kind of coasting to victory at one point. And she has to physically get up this little hill and then physically catch up getting down. And you're just like, there's no way. There's no way she's going to do this. And she does.

And you could talk about everything about life in that moment. Everything. The same way that if you serve me a bowl of soup, I can tell you everything about that culture. And we can talk about our food system in America if you serve me a bowl of minestrone. I'll break it down for you that way. Yeah.

Oh my gosh. Disaster. It's very funny, and my pride always talks about this. The network, in an effort to promote other seasons of Bizarre Foods, would call them different things. So we made 140 episodes of Bizarre Foods, but we made 40 episodes of Bizarre World that was the same show.

We made 80, 90 episodes of Bizarre Foods America, which is just the domestic stuff, because you want the press to report on it. There's nothing new about a new season, season eight of Bizarre Foods. There's nothing new there to get PR and marketing out of at any earned media. So we would call it something different.

Which is something I always have to clarify for myself because I have to remember how really how privileged – it doesn't come from a place of ego. It's just that there's hundreds and hundreds of hours of that show and – I mean 400 episodes of Delicious Destination, something ridiculous. And that's just my first two shows, right? When the very first show came out, it was –
