1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,919
Good morning you too. How are
you doing? Happy to talk to you?

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,639
No, I'm happy to talk to
you because you love food as much

3
00:00:06,639 --> 00:00:08,960
as I do. But that girl
is sitting next to you, she doesn't

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,320
like mustard. Now we've got a
problem. Can I tell you something?

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,280
I like it now? Good?
I was a kids, but now love

6
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:23,120
mustard preferred, not a hot dog. You need it on a soft pretzel.

7
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:27,920
Very avid mustard fan. Just want
to clear my name? Okay,

8
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:33,679
but will you put the mustard on
eggs? Oh? I've never done that?

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,119
Oh my god. Yes, it's
unbelievable. I mean, it just

10
00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:40,280
gives it a different kind of a
texture. It doesn't taste so eggy anymore.

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,719
Wait wait, wait, scrambled eggs
fried? What kind of egg do

12
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:46,679
you put it on? Well,
it could be setdy, sided up,

13
00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:49,039
and it could be scrambled. I
even put it in Cotta's cheese. It's

14
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:51,880
got a whole new flavor when you
when you put mustard in Cotta's cheese.

15
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:56,359
Oh my god, I learned something
today. I'm so excited. I'm going

16
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:00,960
to try it. I love cottage
cheese so much, so I totally we'll

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,280
try that. That sounds great.
It sounds weird, but listen to people.

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,519
Just try it. That's the name
of the book. That's why we're

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:14,719
here today to tell you about just
trying the book I wrote with Lily Rosenthal.

20
00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:19,760
What I love about this book is
the father daughter relationship because I grew

21
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:22,599
up in an age where where dad
was around, but Dad didn't have this

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,000
kind of a relationship with with especially
even with my sisters. And so this

23
00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:32,000
book right here opens up so many
doors. Oh that's so Sie. Listen.

24
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:34,480
We wanted to make it have a
book with a little bit of a

25
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:40,439
message, but it wasn't fun and
funny for kids. We didn't have anything,

26
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:42,359
so that was you know, it's
all these things that you have to

27
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,719
keep in mind when you're doing any
kind of entertainment. Yes, it's good

28
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:49,319
to have a story. You have
to have a story, you have to

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,760
have a message. But if it's
not entertaining, nobody's gonna watch it or

30
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,200
read it. There are many times, Lily that when especially when you came

31
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,239
across the pizza. I mean,
people like to invent their own piece and

32
00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:02,239
their own flavor, and you know, if it doesn't have pepperoni on it,

33
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:06,079
it's it's like, I don't know, but like you say, Phil,

34
00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:09,080
just try it. You got it? I mean, And now I'll

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,759
try any kind of pizza he puts
in front of me. So the book

36
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,280
really works people. But the main
thing is if you don't try things,

37
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:19,199
and I know a lot of grown
ups don't try stuff, how do you

38
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:23,199
know that you will love it?
Yeah? What did you find something that's

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,439
the good, greatest thing you ever
did or had or I mean, you

40
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,319
could be one bite away from your
new favorite food. How exciting is that?

41
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:36,360
One bite away from your new love? See, that's the way I

42
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,039
felt about spinach. As a kid, I wouldn't go anywhere near it.

43
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,400
But as an adult, I can't
get enough of it. There you go

44
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:46,919
me too. I love spinach now
like sauteed some garlic, very nice fried,

45
00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:53,000
very nice fried, flashy. Do
it cool too? That's a good

46
00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:55,520
way. That, by the way, very good way to see. Uh,

47
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:05,599
to have kids try like a potato
chip. Oh you put it in

48
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,280
the air fryer. Oh my god, I do that even with coliflower.

49
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,639
And what I'll do is instead of
having nachos, I'll put coliflower in there,

50
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,879
and then I'll put all the other
ingredients. So I have like a

51
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:19,080
couliflower nachos. Wow, we're learning
from you today. Yeah, what a

52
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:22,520
teacher. Thank you. I love
the humor that you guys have put in

53
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,039
this book, especially when eating the
pretzel and Phil get you get mustard on

54
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,159
your shirt. Every guy goes through
this. I just think that was so

55
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:37,240
relatable. Yes, it happens from
birth when they spit up on you.

56
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,039
Is this going to lead to a
cookbook? Because Phil, I mean with

57
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,560
everything that you have gone through around
the world, that the two of you

58
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:49,439
putting a cookbook together would be amazing. Well, you know what, he

59
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,319
actually has a cookbook out called Somebody
Feed Filled the Book, and a second

60
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,479
one is coming out, And we
have this kid's book, and we're going

61
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,639
to do another kid's book. More
books are coming and there might be all

62
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,759
cookbook as well. Yeah a little
maybe maybe they'll be mustard on eggs in

63
00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:14,319
that book dedicated to you, from
one author to you guys as authors and

64
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,600
as storytellers. I love the size
of the book because when I was a

65
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,920
kid, if you know Curious George
and Clifford the Big Red Dog, they

66
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,160
were all huge books, and I
think going back to this format is so

67
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,480
amazing. I love the size too. I'm glad you mentioned that it makes

68
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,199
it feel special, and it makes
it feel like a kid's book. Kids

69
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:38,600
are excited to read the big book
that the little one that fits in the

70
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:44,319
and Luke Flowers his drawings is one
of the great children's illustrators of all time,

71
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,800
and his drawings deserve to be big, right like, I'm Max,

72
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:50,759
yeah, yeah, how did you
team up with Luke? Because you're right,

73
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:55,600
the illustrations in this is amazing.
I mean, first of all,

74
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,040
I guess I'm still a kid.
I look at the pictures first, then

75
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:00,480
I read What's in the Bubbles.
Yes, yes, of course, our

76
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:04,360
team was able to put us in
touch with Luke and we just fell in

77
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:09,360
love with him with his illustrations,
and we liked the story yep. And

78
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,199
he watches the show and he totally
got it. So it was easy,

79
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,879
easy choice. I love the way
that you put focus on the pretzel because

80
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:21,959
that pretzel has gone through so many
evolutions, especially today, because at one

81
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:25,079
point in time that's all we did
was put mustard on it. Now it

82
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,560
comes in several different types of flavors. In fact, there's one that's out

83
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,879
there right now that has brown sugar
on it. And cinnamon, right,

84
00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:36,040
or like a Tureau pretzel. Yeah, exactly. Listen, I'm from New

85
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,480
York and I know in Philly this
is the thing. The mustard on a

86
00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:44,639
pretzel is just how I grew up
and I love it. What gave you

87
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,399
the idea to do the food trucks, because I mean, every city has

88
00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:51,160
a food truck convention basically, and
I just think this is so up to

89
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,040
date and modern and kids can identify
with this. Yeah. Well, we

90
00:05:56,079 --> 00:06:00,839
knew that we wanted it to be
something that was accessible. Food trucks generally,

91
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,199
like when they're in a great area, you can hit a bunch of

92
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,560
them really fast. And we knew
that it had to be kid friendly.

93
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,800
We knew it had to be based
on something real that we love to go

94
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:20,120
to. And a food festival might
be too, you know, small a

95
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,000
little kid at a food festival,
I don't know. But a food truck

96
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:30,360
festival where it's just all the trucks
and you can run around, that's fun.

97
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,920
What about a book that's based on
fair food because here in the South,

98
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Oh my god, we go crazy
with food down here. Yes,

99
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:41,560
you do you know I'm coming?
Did you know that? No? Well,

100
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,800
so I have a live show that
I go around the country with where

101
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:48,959
we show a highlight reel of somebody
feed Pilt a little bit, and then

102
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,800
I go on with a moderator and
I tell funny stories and then talk to

103
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,399
the audience for most of the show
Q and A and then meet and greet.

104
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,839
I'm actually coming. Do you know
this theater, the Night Theater.

105
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:06,879
Yes, I do. It's an
amazing theater. Oh it is so intimate

106
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,079
in there. Oh my god,
I love that theater. So I'm coming

107
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,079
April nineteenth, and you can get
tickets now. And I'm going to be

108
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:21,199

109
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,879
to be in Durham on the eighteenth, the night before, at the Carolina
