Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Would you like a cake pop? Yes, please. Now you're just, now I'm feeling kind of seen by you, to be honest. That's what we aim to do here. Yeah, I just feel like you've kind of read my vibe correctly and you're like, today is about treats. Every day should be about a sweet treat. Every day should have the capacity. But I think if it's at a regular time every day, it no longer becomes a treat.
So treats have to be- Sporadic. Definitionally, yes, surprising or irregular in nature to be a treat. I like that. Yeah. Well, this is a treat. It's a treat to be here. Now we're rolling. Okay. Let's roll. We're ready. Let's do it. Welcome back to another episode of Too Hot Taste, you guys. I'm your host, Morgan. And today, I've got Lucas Zelnick in the house. Yes.
thanks for having me that was really good you might put me out of a job with that uh i mean i think a soundboard would be the best but i know the buttons are they're too far they're so far and we're so comfy already i know and we don't wear headphones i used to wear headphones but no headphones anymore this is like i'm i'm it's already my favorite podcast i've ever done it's i'm reclined i have a blankie i
I love a blankie. I mean, I do my work from bed. Like most of the work I do is from bed. So to feel bed adjacent, obviously I don't feel bedridden right now, but to feel bed adjacent is meaningful. Bed adjacent, that's got a ring to it. Yeah. I'm bed adjacent most of the time. Even the couch, I'm like kicked out, kind of reclined on the couch as I'm working. I need to get a standing desk.
I need to be more functional. You really want to do that to yourself? Let yourself enjoy life a little bit. I feel like I'm getting a hump. A hump where? Like, you know when you have bad posture? Like the hunchback of Notre Dame? Yeah. Like that? Yeah. And everyone's like, get trap Botox. And I'm like, I feel like I could just maybe change my posture a little. Trap Botox? That's real?
They'll literally inject your traps with Botox. And then you just have to be... You're more erect. Yeah. You have to be like, yeah. Yeah. Positionally erect. Yeah. So I'm like, I think the standing desk is going to come Q3. I mean, listen, alternatively, you could just not inject Botox into your traps and not get the standing desk and then just kind of see where gravity takes you. Oh, okay.
People are like, where are you guys going with this? That's a great question. You know, you might feel at this point in the episode, I'm heckling you. I'm giving you a hard time. And that is something you come into contact with. I feel like every show. Nice. That was a good transition. You get the best hecklers. Well... At least from what I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I guess I don't love it when they talk first, but if I'm talking to them, fun, fun, fun, fun. You have to initiate it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On my terms. Okay. On my terms. But all those clips are like the whole amount of that that's in the show usually. So it's not like all that, but it is always fun and I think people enjoy. I like learning about people and
doing a regular standup show without it is, can be a little bit monotonous because you know what you're going to say. I mean, you know, your goal is that everyone else is surprised and loves it.

Chapter 2: How do comedians deal with hecklers?
Yep. Well, this is me on the ranch. It didn't pull the one. Okay, wait. So you got invited to the ranch? So I get to talking to him. He's like, what do you do? I'm like, I'm a comedian. I'm just in town for the weekend. He's like, I've got this ranch. Do you want to come out and see the ranch? I was like, yeah. So, okay. This is my dream. This is me in a giraffe. Oh my gosh.
First of all, like I was a little nervous when I met him. Yeah. He was like very tatted up. Like I was like, I'm in Oklahoma. We had to drive, you know, an hour out of Tulsa, Oklahoma into just. Were you in his car or yours? No, we had a rental. Okay. That's positive at least.
So we drove in ours and I was like, part of me was, I was like, is this guy like one of these like doomsday prepping white supremacist freaking like. I mean, he could have been a Noah's Ark, modern day Noah's Ark. Yeah, or like, yeah, like a religious thing or like flags with groups that I don't, you know, that I want to stay away from. And so I was nervous, but I get there.
It's, first of all, beautiful. It's a boomeroo. It's his, it's him and his wife. They're taking amazing care of the animals. I was going to ask, I'm like, how ethical? Oh, no, ethical. Like, I was shocked. They do a lot of education.
Chapter 3: What experiences do comedians share about audience interactions?
They do a lot of work for zoos. So they're like. Are they on TikTok?
TikTok.
It's called HQ Ranch. Shout them out. Shout out. I told them I would promote them always because they were just so sweet to me and they took such good care of me. Oh my God. Yeah. Oh my God, this is him. Yeah, that's him. That's my guy.
Chapter 4: How do personal stories influence stand-up comedy?
Wow. And it was just, this is me in a Mongolian camel. Oh my gosh. I can send you some of these. You had the time of your life. Oh, it was a blast. And I had this local opener, this guy named Caleb, who was like hosting my shows out there. Very quiet guy, sweet guy, very quiet. And he hadn't said much.
Um, kind of like the whole weekend, but we invited him out because we being the opener that I brought from New York, who's like a friend of mine that I bring out. And then you always like, you kind of meet a local who's working it from the club. And I was like, yeah, do you want to come out? And then when we got out there with Caleb, he just had this like special bond with all the animals.
Like he didn't say much, but all the animals like gravitated towards him in a really strange way. He was like a silent savant. Look, this is him. Like,
all the kangaroos were like flocking to him and he had this really peaceful energy he must have like some aura like that just like he's putting off some energy horses can hear your heartbeat from like eight feet away really yeah so i wonder if he's just like emitting some energy that's super cool super cool whatever it was i wasn't admitting it although this giraffe liked me and giraffes can be mean they can headbutt
He could whip his neck up like... Yeah. It was... A girl in LA, I ended up like at a promoter dinner with her and she got her nose broken from a giraffe in like Malibu. Really? Yeah. Swung and just took her out. Whoa. I know. I know. But let's get into these stories. They're all crazy, off the charts, kind of like don't be a heckler vibe. Okay. And we're going to see what you think about them.

Chapter 5: What strategies are suggested for handling difficult conversations?
Yeah. I really like this. And you will destroy him. I'm game. I'm game. I think a lot of people, I think you can take notes out there. Take notes on that tactic for real. Take notes. Picture him as the worst fuck you've ever had and think about the message you would nicely send to let that guy down. It's not you. And send every guy. It's me. Yeah. I just have to work on myself right now.
I'm so slammed.
Chapter 6: How is the concept of emotional intelligence explored in relationships?
I'm so sorry. Like, I'm sure maybe in the future we could, you know. Is it a little, like, toxic? No, honestly, because he was an ass. I like it. To me, it's less toxic than being like, you weren't even good enough for this. Like... Yeah, because he's going to hear that and be like, I know that's a lie. Yeah, exactly. Oh my God. Okay, wait, I love this. We don't have any updates from OP.
We have a lot of comments and I'll be sure to share the link for the post in the YouTube description. But I mean, the comments are never ending. Like OP at certain points looks like she's fighting for her life.
Chapter 7: What insights are shared about neighborly relationships and conflicts?
People being like, after a month you had slept with, you slept with him. That is casual sex. And she's like, we were talking every day, three dates a week for three weeks. I didn't feel like it was super casual. Yeah, I think it so depends like the circumstances and the culture of the place.
I mean, the more I travel, the more I realize like in New York, it would feel very rare for me, whether you're serious about each other or casual about each other. to be seeing each other for a month and not have already had sex.
Like in New York, I think people are dating very frequently and you would go on maybe two or three dates over the course of two weeks and then sleep together is like, I would think the most normal cadence. And then, you know, when I was in Oklahoma, I asked my opener how the dating scene is. And he was like, girls only want men with land. And I was like, oh my God. Who was that? What was his name?
Caleb? Yeah.
Chapter 8: What lessons can be learned from the garden gnome story?
So it's a different world down there for Caleb. I was like, this is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but if they're in a medium to large city, I don't think by having sex with someone in a month, you're sending a message that you want casual sex. I think it's a natural, you know, raising the stakes of getting to know someone.
I know, especially if you live in a city that has decent public transportation, because... You see each other a lot more. You can cover a lot more ground. There's one comment where OP just says, not only was he rude, he was cheap too. Ooh. And he's also 34. I had to look back at his age. Yeah, he should have bought the Uber, too. He should have bought the Uber. Come on.
Yeah, you play an away game, he should Uber you home. That's what I'm saying. I did send OP a message. I was like, girl, I need an update. Did you ever respond back to this horrible man? So we'll see if anything comes through. Do you have a fancy Reddit? Do they know you're you? Yeah, but I have a fake one, too. Which one did you use? My real one. Okay, so they know. Yeah.
I feel like that encourages responses a lot of times. Okay, so don't fault me for not knowing this, but are these coming from just the Reddit community or are they sent to you for this? They're all just coming from Reddit, but we do have our own subreddit now because I wanted a place for listeners to submit their write-ins and I used to have a Google form and that just got... It got blown up.
It got way... It was too much. So then we started our own subreddit so then people can go and post. But these aren't out of your subreddit? Not yet.
Not yet.
Okay. Hi, friends. Popping in for a quick story with Justin and Lauren because it is time for the Value Vibe Check. Brought to you by McDonald's. As you all know, we live for drama on this show, but Every once in a while, things feel a little bit too unhinged, so we need something to ground us again. Enter the McDonald's McValue menu.
It's consistent, dependable, there for you when everything else is not. We're talking your favorites for under $3. Value, that's always a win, but especially when you're mid-spiral. And I love nothing more than a McChicken mid-spiral, let me tell you. And this person, this person was definitely mid-spiral.
Okay.
