hi kids you’re about to listen to a corporate podcast that means that none of this is medical

voice if you need medical advice and medical care please contact your doctor brought to you by koala cooler

it tastes just like down under i’m krampy koala take it away dj dylan thank you crampy

for that glowing introduction and can i just say it has been absolutely amazing working alongside you

and the whole koala cola team so i just want to say thank you crampy no don’t

talk during my intro even if i specifically address you okay hello

and welcome to the jock doc podcast where we discuss fitness and health and how to incorporate our modern

understanding of science and medicine into our daily lives but without it being so boring i’m your host dr. london smith (.com)

i would like to begin by apologizing to our listeners we’ve received some feedback about the excessive amount of technical medical

terms that i’ve been using such as dentinogenesis imperfecta and fixin

2. so i will try to temper my terminology to a simpler one in the future here to help with that is our producer

cameron hey dr london how uh how uh

have you not read the emails like i about like sort of the changes that have

been made towards sort of our audience um because you didn’t address it in the top so i just

figured no i well honestly we’ve had so many changes with the uh with the new podcast network coming on so i’m

i’m a little bit it’s kind of all up in the air for me so so which one specifically are you talking about which

oh i’m talking about like how we’ve just contracted with you know i mean i guess this is exciting news so maybe i

should amp it up a little bit but uh the jock talk podcast is now being

piped through the speaker systems of all of the schools all of the educational systems

in london kentucky like like their high schools their elementary

schools yes their universities we i mean i just i found out that there’s this

town in kentucky called london and so you know of course i’m always thinking like how can i help the podcast

and so i mean we’re just talking you know sort of brand synergy here it’s just it’s sort of like

a logical evolution of the show yes and so now every morning our podcast is

going to be piped through the just the whole school every classroom and is that

i mean so so you talk to the i guess the superintendent or the like the whatever principles of the schools you

you made contact and you were like hey we have this educational program for you and well yeah i mean let’s hold on

i met those people when i was applying for a janitor job so i could sort of change out the pa

systems in your in your application to the job

they they gave you access to everything i get maybe you were overqualified and they were like well here’s a tour was

that how it sorry i’m trying to no i know i got the job i i got all the keys dr london have

you ever seen a janitor’s key yeah okay so it’s not just you said apply so you got the job

you hooked it up and so that’s what you’ve been doing the janitorial now so now we have a

built-in dedicated audience dr london this whole thing where it’s like oh this week

we’ve got two listeners oh this week we’ve got three listeners and now automatically we have 127 listeners dr

london but one thing so there is one stipulation about this because i

you know unhooked the actual pa system and hooked up our system we do need to read the school

announcements as part of this show and if we could do that sort of uh

i don’t know authent like uh authentically or uh you know not in like an advertisement way just ease it in

sort of ease it in integrated into the show naturally okay you know okay sure um so okay i have the list

here so i mean like if you want to read what like the lunch menu for today and tomorrow yeah

um and you you may just incorporate that though into yes don’t do it directly you want

it to you want to insert it you want to sprinkle it in okay so we’ll just so i’m going to just

sort of try to move on and then once in a while i’ll chime it i’ll work it in casually

the way that you would normally hear on any given podcast any ads work it in in the way that i would work

in some gravy into my mashed potatoes which is the side in today’s lunch okay yeah and so

okay okay so um that was our producer cameron also with us is digital in the house

cheer practice which usually meets on the football field

we’ll have to meet in the gym today because it’s raining

oh baby it’s raining [Music] it’s raining

which means that band which usually

means

[Music]

himself he said

please be careful with his lab equipment it’s very expensive

and the school doesn’t have it in the budget to replace it right now

and if you were to you know say want some peas and carrots that uh would be on the menu

today yes that wasn’t casual okay um i’ll go i’ll move on for now um and

later i mean like maybe if you like maybe if you call yourself dr

carrot or something okay well i’ll call myself i guess for the next we need the london

thing though because it’s london kentucky oh so can we talk about maybe like uh

like i don’t know like you’re a p head i mean there’s just different ways that we could talk about this and discuss like

maybe incorporating this yeah so um a little smoother

so speaking of mystery meat which is there you go the main dish

for all of this week due to the infection that spread throughout our

local herds um speaking of that

later cameron tells me we can expect a special guest that’s right dr london it’s as special

as the mystery meet which is also replacing all of the drinks this week so you cannot get milk

the milk has been replaced with the mystery meat as well so you get two portions of that if you want

and now seamlessly we’re going to blend into the next section kind of like those mystery meats are blended into a

nice shake to serve as an easy drink before we move on i would like to

address a bit of listener feedback this note comes from the koala cola

employee who won the happiest award for this month while residing in the testing chambers

at the pest control wing of the koala coil corporation so this note reads quote

i’m choking end quote okay okay so first of all thank you so much for reaching

out to us here at the jock talk podcast um and this is what i feel like i mean this is what

our listeners love about us is that like when they’re dealing with these sort of

health issues they can actually reach out and actually expect a response i’m choking you know what i mean we can

actually you know give this person something that’ll help him yeah so um

yeah it’s it’s so great to hear from a fan and so this this fan they’re the happiest worker there so

that’s that’s pretty neat um so you asked a great question to this listener

uh so the universal symbol for choking is to put both hands to your neck uh so the next

time you choke on something which i guess is now you should do that so that everyone around you can see that you’re all

choked up well dr london it if you do that like if you’re in a like a comedy club and you do that

people are gonna think that you’re telling the person on stage that they’re they’re kind of choking right now

like you’re taunting them sort of which would be considered rude so yeah

so rude but then you know it could save their lives if someone was aware they were choking and they

could enter is that i mean is that is that a risk that you would be willing to take

to be that rude to someone i think i think with a life on the line um i

would i would risk some rudeness you know a similar topic can come up with polly

shore is on stage doing one of his classic bits and you start choking on one of the

olives that you were eating because you didn’t realize that they were usually you know sort of decorative you were just kind of downing olives

yeah and not swa not chewing you’re telling me you’re gonna interrupt his set by going oh i’m

choking okay well as opposed to sitting down being polite and waiting till the set is

over well so so one thing that so i wouldn’t one thing about choking is that you

often can’t speak and that’s why you use the hand gestures but so so i wouldn’t even be saying

i’m choking it would just be me silently so i feel like it’s not even silently in

his eyesight that he can see and he’s like oh man am i bombing right now this guy’s over here telling me i’m

choking suddenly you’re making polly sure insecure and you never want to do that dr london

okay yeah i guess i guess that’s one thing to consider that there can be a social ramification for it that i that maybe i didn’t consider okay

um anyway so to this listener thank you for listening now for today’s medical topic also we

could probably let that listener know that for legal reasons the mystery meat

also counts as a vegetable because it was found on the ground yes so because it was it came from the

ground technically legally it does count as a vegetable as well so that is replacing the vegetable

portions you had mentioned carrots and peas earlier i had gotten just a text right now those have been made into mystery meat

that is sliced into the shape of peas and carrots and speaking really fried rice

it’s it’s it’s fried rice so but it’s all mystery meat cut into the different shapes yeah yeah well and speaking of the

dessert being decorative soaps uh now for today’s medical lesson hepatitis a i’m sorry was that was that

good was that the me introducing the is hepatitis a good i don’t know you’re

yeah no never mind i okay um now today’s medical topic hepatitis a

hepatitis a is a viral form of hepatitis that typically causes an acute infection meaning that it has less than six months

of liver inflammation uh or it causes less than six months uh hepatitis a is transmitted via the fecal

oral root and is more prevalent in developing countries so people will typically get it through contaminated food and water

a way to remember this is that hepatitis a is from something you ate does that that make sense

it does make sense and it sort of reminds me that uh billy a needs to go to the principal’s office

immediately um i i that is something that really

needs to happen pretty quickly yeah and that sort of like reminds me i feel like you know like

it’s sort of the same thing yeah in a sense so um like all forms of acute

hepatitis a can present uh clinically with jaundice and dark urine along with fever

weight loss fatigue hepatosplenomegaly and that’s whenever your your liver and spleen are enlarged um

and additionally patients may have nausea vomiting abdominal pain

diagnostic testing includes increased direct bilirubin increased ratio of alt to ast and liver

function tests and increased alkaline phosphatase for hepatitis a the best initial test will be the igm antibody to hepatitis a

and antigen for i should mention if you have any of

these symptoms like that that is not the mystery meat like that you the mystery meat we’ve

already covered it’s a drink it’s a vegetable and it’s a meat so it’s already covering all of your basic food groups

so if you’re having these kind of reactions to or shortly after consuming the mystery

meat it must be from something else maybe the like in the like a mold in the in the

in your on your fan and you’re in your own home yeah not not school not at the school

because the school checks their events and cleans their events every single semester

right okay so um yes as i said so for hepatitis a the best initial test will be the igm antibody to hepatitis a

antigen for acute infection and igg antibody to detect resolution to the infection um in

terms of treatment hepatitis a resolves spontaneously over a few weeks and it’s typically a benign

condition so and that’s something to remember for you know maybe if you do think that you got hepatitis a

from something at the school it’s going to resolve on its own uh yeah

you might still go you should spend you should the nurses office can’t treat this so

when you talk about treatment you should probably say like oh well there’s nothing you can really do or

just something like oh it’s impossible to treat it or something because there’s no way

like that school the school just cannot afford what it takes to yeah yeah okay um yeah i would say

and you know you know realistically probably better to go to like an actual medical facility outside

the school if if you have hepatitis a like i would say go you know get supportive care there i

don’t know if london kentucky has anything like that um i do think they have maybe a carl’s

jr but i’m not exactly sure which should maybe function as the same thing but okay

all right well that’s um that’s about all we have to cover in hepatitis a today but for the um uh yeah so

uh the if you’re looking for the desserts they are in the form of uh decorative they look like desserts

in the cafeteria but they are soap so i would just bear that in mind whenever you go

to take a bite uh yeah and the soap has been replaced by the mystery meat as well the mystery meat

does have sort of antioxidants dr london

okay well i would question it but i guess we should okay uh yeah great um

all right well are we good to move on from there yeah except for now um billy a

if we could get him to leave the principal’s office now he will not leave which has become a huge issue

so billy a please leave the principal’s office go back to class all right

back to you dr london yeah no i think we’re we can go and move on from there [Music]

all right uh cameron you said that we have a special guest today is that right that’s right dr london we have

and i’m not gonna spoil it for you because i know that you do not like spoilers but we definitely have a guest okay i

yeah so so you could have just said yes right um anyway hello there my name is dr

londonsmith.com and the star producer cameron uh what was your name hi i’m pleased to meet you both of you

gentlemen i am a guinea soi guinea okay

well nice to meet you that and you know i hate to kind of point this out but that sounds

uh what’s the appropriate pc term uh a little foreign to me uh it is a french accent okay

i don’t actually speak french i’m not from france but i learned how to do a french accent

and that is what i’ve based my reputation on as being a french accent uh

a chef when they started out okay so so i guess the accent and the name

are both imported that is correct but you are you are not okay

now you you say you’re a chef are the are your or the items you cook are they

french inspired as well or is it just or is it really just the accent that is how it started out

i am a uh i’m a reclaimed food chef um

i was listening uh in the in the green room to your show i was very interested in the hearing

about the mystery meat you were talking about yeah uh i used to

prepare a mystery meat uh recipe and i found out that as a diners they don’t uh they don’t

seem to like this idea of mystery they don’t want their food to be mystery so much uh so i started calling it the

pork i just cause that’s just you know that’s just like this millennial always expecting to know everything

instantly yes yes yes yes exactly you can’t wait a week for a new episode you got to binge

everything all at once yeah you know turn to the back the last page in the book eh

right and there’s just no mystery in life anymore because of it exactly i definitely understand that’s

frustrating yes uh the interesting thing is though that the the kind of cuisine that i do cook as i say it’s reclaimed food you say

it’s reclaimed what is that are you talking about like is this like a farm to table type thing or like

it’s well in a way it’s farm to table to dumpster to my kitchen and then

i i reclaim uh the the uh the best of the food products and uh i

create uh wonderful uh uh wonderful entrees and uh appetizers and desserts and

side dishes i mean that this is it’s very economical and it’s also i mean

helping the earth it sounds like you’re recycling uh to the best of my ability yes uh i

i get the food the and uh the get it to the people and uh the people that eat it

they uh you know i to go back on my idea of being a surprise they don’t know always

where the food came from they are eating but who does right we

if i go to chili’s am i am i asking like where did this beef come from nah exactly i trust that it came from

somewhere exactly which is how i based my entire chain of restaurants on that idea that nobody knows

nor do they really seem to care where the food comes from they say is this farm to table as you ask this

yes they don’t check they just go oh it’s wonderful for

for from farm to table beautiful i love that wow so this isn’t an exclusive reveal on

this show would you say that no one knows about this so is this the first time you’re like talking about it

oh yes yes yes wow that’s great i was going to save it for a bigger show

like like ellen perhaps or jimmy fallon but uh they’ve not called and uh when i found out you

have a large uh uh high school listening audience i figured uh let’s uh let’s let the kids

know yeah i have been impressed at the press about that because i got the email

and i guess i was the last to find out because yeah i’ve i was i saw the billboards on

the way and i was confused by it uh that he’s been cameron you know to

cameron your credit even though you’ve also been working this janitor job you’ve been doing all these other enterprises you’ve

really put the word out and i think it’s great that we have a guest who’s so

we have food waste as such an issue in this country oh it’s huge huge food waste problem in this country

so it’s exciting to see that um you know someone’s taking and you said you have a chain of restaurants i do i do

uh they are uh guinea swag guinea soir uh that is uh the name on the restaurant

um what i do is uh much like uh i do with the food i find restaurants

that have gone out of business and uh until they’re taken over i just

pry open the door i get inside and i just slap my name over whatever the thing is called so it’s uh okay

guinea swaz uh seasons restaurant huh so i can get any swat to go just to

go back to chili’s maybe maybe you’re in an airport and you’re slapping that over a chili’s logo exactly exactly chili’s to go cameron we

are on the same wavelength like since this is all of this it sounds great to me dr london you are

already i can tell about to be like a wet blanket what’s going on yeah so just

um so if you’d if you’re claiming a closed store are you are you purchasing

the the building or renting it uh yeah i am interested in purchasing every

restaurant that i move into i’m interested unfortunately uh most of the people trying to

negotiate uh do not meet my price uh so i move on so when you say meet

your price you don’t you mean like they it’s a low price yeah uh so so what i mean if i may ask

what what kind of price are you talking how much does a restaurant go for these days i guess is what i’m getting at

well to get in and get open and everything else is going to cost you uh you know upwards of uh depending where

in the country half to a million dollars just to uh just to get the keys to the place

yeah and then it’s a difficult an expensive process very expensive very exciting i don’t

know how people do it right so what what do you um what’s what’s your going what do you

pitch to them as the price for it well normally i mean in operation for at least a week before

they show up uh i figured i figure if i can get a crowd in uh they might go hey you know what we’re

not using the building anyway he’s willing to pay a a nominal fee and he’s got a ready-made

audience it will do the community some good he’s taking care of his food waste

problem he’s offering low-cost meals to people and uh unfortunately i found uh

very few actual well they call themselves businessmen uh but uh they don’t understand the

value they just what’s the actual what’s the actual number you said like well i offer you

know a nominal fee what what is that number that you’re offering to them saying hey i’ll give you this every month

well it’s a it’s a sliding scale it depends what i have in my pocket at the time sometimes it’s fifty seven dollars yeah

i offered one gentleman 523 dollars which i was reasonably certain i could

obtain the the sliding scale so it’s like let’s say it’s an xy graph it’s number of things in your

pocket and then amount of money to to give but okay yeah that makes sense again cameron you you

and i are on a wavelength you understand the business you understand how this works

yeah and i’ll admit that cameron handles that a lot of the business side of this podcast so he’s the one who

you know really you know handles a patreon and then funnels a lot of our our money into

the podcast money i mean and also no also my money um into a lot of endeavors yeah

and uh yeah it’s it’s been it’s been a journey i guess so so i guess i’m learning here

we’re all learning i believe right we are all learning at all times for instance i was again i was listening

uh you know off off mike and you were talking about this hepatitis a

and the the symptoms uh which startlingly are very similar to some of

the symptoms my diners have had um maybe it’s going around

you know i’m not exactly sure i am very fastidious with the food that i reclaim um i make

sure that it is cleaned and sanitized and it is of the highest quality

that i can possibly find and uh so i don’t think it’s the food i just thought you can that you can

possibly find in the dumpster in which you’re done the trash can yeah yes yes yes exactly well it’s protected

from the weather you have to you know these things it’s protected from a number of pests because it’s enclosed

oftentimes in a very thick three mil thick plastic bag so you you think that dumpsters are

protected from pests i i guess in my mind they you know roaches are famously they love to they gather in

a lot of places you know like dumpsters and well yeah but maybe he doesn’t consider a roach to be a pest

it’s well i i imagine if they got into the bags and got into the food they would be

regarded as a pest i regard them as guards quite frankly a lot of people will stay out of a

dumpster because there are roaches in there so they open the door and they go ah roaches and they close the door and they

run away so in a way that’s a security system in your favor yeah oh definitely in my

favor and free uh point out i want to hear some of the dishes that you’ve been offering oh

may we uh let’s talk uh entree just last week yeah we made a

delicious hot dog casserole i found this these fine i don’t want to

name the establishment but some discarded uh hot dogs and uh i you know if you get into one of

these restaurant rows and you uh you hit those uh dumpsters boom boom boom one two three

i had the chow mein i had hot dogs i had chicken pot pie uh and

you put those two you put those together and uh you have to get uh you know you have to get a source of heat in order to cook

which is not always uh easy to come by but in this case um i had all of the

ingredients everything fell into place and uh the delicious hot dog casserole uh i i have the recipe

written down here somewhere uh it’s i think it’s on an old receipt but uh you don’t have to you don’t have to reveal your secrets we can we can cut

this out of the podcast but it sounds like you got the hot dogs like all of this food maybe outside of a

mall food court and the hot dogs were in auntie anne’s is that about right

let’s just call that uh cameron the promised land yes i’m sorry speaking of the hot dogs

uh so there is a dog um and it does appear to be rabid in the bathroom and we just want to let

school know that um it’s being handled they have called animal control and it’s all it’s it’s all being taken

care of it’s fine but but do not use the restrooms uh for the next three hours yeah and it’s all the restrooms that is

that is one thing that dr london did not mention is that the dog is very quick and he is going through the

ventilation system to the bathroom so none of them are safe so just hold it

in for the day how did the high school actually get by without this fine service that you are

providing to them uh these health warnings and uh all sorts of uh wonderful tips you’re giving to

people it seems like they needed this for years yeah i mean pr i don’t know probably

like just had some like old person just on there and and just like announce stuff maybe youtube kids love youtube

so maybe that’s just how they were doing it well and you know this does bring up another point we talked about the food food waste and

everything but you know these schools are underfunded and sometimes it takes you know a very

well you know something sponsored by a giant corporation like koala cola uh to come in and you know pitch in a

little bit give the help where we can when it you know where they can’t afford it so yeah i’m i’m happy that we get to

provide the service i think it’s a wonderful thing uh and uh if

they’re looking for a chef by the way uh i could get out there um might take me a couple of weeks or a

month to uh to find a way out but uh would love to land a steady gig working with some you know

some some uh some kids and i love teaching about food and educating the young and

uh giving cooking classes uh i think it could be a wonderful wonderful thing

well they so they don’t really have chefs as much as they have a contraption they have sort of like a

rube goldberg machine where it’s like a ball that you know it it like

turns on the stove and starts cooking the eggs and the mystery meat and then you know it rolls down and then

it you know turns this thing on and it’s the mystery meet again and so on and so forth so they don’t really have a

need for a chef um but it sounds like you’re doing

pretty well i mean what do you i mean how many like customers are are coming in for

for this stuff well it all depends uh you know when the weather is good uh i

try to get some uh some outdoor eateries going uh those are usually easier because even if the restaurant’s

still in business they have to close sometime so i’ll make use of their parking lot and outside dining areas

uh okay so uh i i call it uh you know uh guinea soi after dark uh okay

yeah a sort of european style dinner starts at 10 11 o’clock at night and uh we uh roll things up about three or four

in the morning when the uh the police show up huh so yeah no that’s not

so i was just wondering how much do you charge for your dishes like i know how much you expect to somewhere in the range of what

you expect to pay for you know your place of business but what do you charge your customers

i i charge them top dollar which means whatever the top dollar is they have in their pocket i’ll take that

so if they’re smart they’ll have they’ll put all the ones on the top um usually you get somebody not

not top in value the physical literally top dollar yes yes okay um i was i was trained in the

uh the french foreign legion um and so i have a number of uh skills uh that i can

rely on if somebody gets a little bit uh testy and doesn’t feel like they should pay for the meal uh and then i

will get that top dollar myself out of out of their pocket does that happen does that happen often

you’d be surprised it’s a very common occurrence i’m not sure how how surprised because

it sounds like do do all these people want to like do they say yes i will pay

and then you say well it’s gonna cost you the top like how does this transaction actually work because it sounds like maybe it

comes down to just mugging it sounds like mugging yes i’ve heard this before but no

you have to keep in mind i get the money before they get their food unlike most restaurants where people eat

and then they pay what they do is they come by and they smell the food cooking and it smells

so delicious it doesn’t matter where it came from cooking food always smells delicious in

fact here’s a secret for you if you want to cook for uh say you have a date or your wife or whatever

you just get a frying pan going and you heat it up a bit you get a little oil and a little chopped onion and garlic in

there and soon the house smells so good you so far have not put anything in the pan that anyone’s going to eat it’s just

the smell you get the smell going so people come in and they say oh what are you serving i say

oh here’s the board and i showed them the chalkboard with the specials of the night and there and this

sounds wonderful i said well sit down and and have some it’s it’s how much you got on you and

they laugh like it’s a joke i said no no seriously how much you got on you and they’ll say oh i got 20 that’s fine

you get the special you get the house special and they’ll they pay up the money i sometimes they don’t but

usually it’s uh you know cash first and then then they can eat so so the moment they say how much they

have that to you is that’s when the sale is done yeah that’s your money now exactly

exactly uh you gentlemen uh you understand this uh this business very i’m surprised the two

of you do not have a restaurant because uh this is the way it works the fact that somehow things have gotten terribly

turned around where you have to do all the cooking and get the food all ready and then at the end they pay you well what if they don’t

like it or what if they they run away and you don’t have the they have the money so we actually this is we mentioned this

not that long ago on the show i think that the this podcast actually started out as a

restaurant this was back in it it was called the jock talk podcast but this was in the 90s so no one

like the word podcast didn’t have the same meaning as it does today um and then it’s sort of over time

evolved into this show so we i mean we do have a little uh understanding of the

restaurant industry which sort of this is i i actually have a question about that the i’m i’m a little confused about the

logistics so like where you’re talking about oh i’ve got this frying pan

hey is that equipment also reclaimed like is that is that stuff you find and b

where is the heat source for you know these this like outdoor uh you know a patio takeover that you’re

doing i can kind of get it when you’re breaking into a chili’s because you can just use their equipment of course

of course but when we’re talking about just like outside and everything and you’re showing up with hot food how is that food being heated

well again you you have to uh you have to understand how to use what the what you have around

you all of life can be reclaimed uh you get the top off of a carburetor from under one car hood that becomes

your frying pan you get you managed to uh to hot wire a car that becomes your oven you get this the

hood up and you get the heat going in there yeah and uh pretty soon you have an entire kitchen layout

right right next to the parking lot that does sound easy like i guess you know for me you

know i’m i’m pretty simple i know a toaster oven and a regular oven a stove that’s kind of what i think of

but i guess if you if you have a car it’s well i guess that

given the your your source of income and how much income it sounds like you make do you have a car

or is that also a part of it is this it is reclaimed okay it is reclaimed i

mean there are always cars around oh dr london when he said he was hot wiring a

car you you thought he might have been hot wiring his own car well yeah if you lock your keys

you know inside your car if you do lock your keys in your car by the way i can help you i’ve had much

experience opening a locked car so you so you you locked your keys in your car and

your solution is to start the engine that’s what you’re trying to do that’s what that’s what hot wiring is dr london yeah

okay so or maybe you lose your keys i guess not lock your keys inside but also i mean

it sounds like just if you have any car trouble at all then uh you know our guest uh genius really

the one to go to for this um yeah if you have car trouble not that that’s your main thing

that is very true it’s a side gem it’s a side jam for me yeah but okay so you but you’re i guess

you’re passionate you’re far more passionate about cooking whereas the i mean it sounds like you’re

passionate about reclaiming in general does that does does that apply not just

to you know like physical objects that you find i mean is that is that sort of like a way of life to

you yes i imagine that that it really is uh when you come to think of it the the

food is just the sort of the expression of the reclamation where i can share with

others but the art my entire life has been this idea of reclaiming

reclaiming reclaiming lost youth reclaiming information reclaiming things that that

have gone astray whether for me or for someone else and that sort of manifests itself

in you know a hot dog casserole wow what about what about what about

dessert sorry dr london i gotta hear about dessert that’s fair well if the

hot dog casserole doesn’t move that becomes dessert uh but of course people are looking they

have a sweet tooth of course so they want something nice something sweet and

this is harder to reclaim you might be surprised but not a lot of people throw the desserts away

yeah they’re entrees they’re side dishes they don’t finish those but everyone seems to want to finish dessert

so those are a little harder to come by but again it’s just keeping one’s eyes open being

clever and figuring out well what could i make sweet that normally is not sweet a bit

of sugar bit of maple syrup packets from a restaurant

uh okay because you’re putting that on a hot dog probably could be hot dog uh hot dog

heel of bread people don’t eat the heels of bread right so you make that exactly you put that under a broiler for

uh just a few minutes a bit of maple syrup a bit of chocolate syrup some sprinkles and uh wonderful

well you tell people it’s a torch you know what this makes me think of is that like how how lobsters used to be

considered gross right like oh they’re bottom feeders whatever now they’re they’ve sort of been

changed into a delicacy you’re talking about heels of bread oh people just toss that away you’ve sort of rebranded it and

reclaimed it and say no this is a meal this is the spotlight so we’re going to cover it in maple

syrup and some sugar and some hot dogs exactly it’s the way society works painter’s clothing used to be just oh

something a janitor wears and then all of a sudden uh you know music people would start wearing those

kinds of clothes he became very popular baggy pants and whatnot and so it all goes around and you just have to

kind of keep your eye open and let people know this is special what i have made for you right here tonight no one else has ever made this

no one else has ever eaten this so tonight between you and me this is special how much you got in your

pocket and then at that point have you had anyone you know you you do your i guess you can

call it a negotiation uh where they they tell you how much they have and then you

uh sometimes forcefully remove that amount of money from their pocket um do you ever like

find that they are not as hungry after that experience like maybe that because

if they’re if they’re beaten pretty badly and i imagine that their appetite might leave them

uh that’s a good point and again this is where the training comes in from the french foreign legion if i don’t hit

them in the mouth or in the esophagus or any of the elements that lead to the digestive system a pretty good bet if they came in

hungry they’re going to go out hungry okay because because yeah i guess the base everything but i’m i’m thinking of

the abdomen i’m i’m wondering i feel like you just are going to run out of places to hit because the legs and the arms i guess

are what whatever fair game fair game legs arms back of the head

right okay so i guess i mean you know you’re obviously an expert in this so it’s hard to um

you know but these are the things that i think of like if i was beaten up in the for a transaction like

that then uh i don’t but i guess but you always see you have the experience in the field so

i will admit sometimes they’re not as hungry as when they thought they were yeah but uh

by the end by the end it’s such a tussle they just figure i’ll just get this to go

well and i i imagine they also the way they’re phrasing it they might not have been interested in food at

all like except out of a curiosity like oh what are you cooking and then you say actually yes you’d be

surprised how much just that curiosity factor leads people to decide yes they are hungry yes they

are yeah or at least they they are going to be holding food

and i will tell you even no matter how badly somebody has been uh beaten as you put it uh i always make

sure that when they leave uh this is something i learned uh in the month and a half that i was at the

sorbonne i know how to make one of those uh aluminum foil swans that you put the

thing okay the leftovers in and whenever you leave that with someone when they go they

always leave happy and those are those are also reclaimed

the foil you use okay yeah of course they they have layers of a past meal

i do what i can to clean uh any of the materials that i use as best i can given the given the materials at

hand uh that i have i i don’t think i’ve ever are you cleaning it with other stuff

that you found well water yes um

i guess that’s valid cleaning goods soaps

things such as that but i’ve never left anyone go with a dirty swan

are you folding the swans yourselves or you reclaim them pre-folded oh no no that is this the the skill that

i picked up and uh wow your art coming through again

always always well i feel like i i just

you know i want to i want to keep going i want to learn more but i also we have these chores to do

i just it’s just that you know like we’re just running out of time and well i can come back another time when

uh well no i mean if if you wouldn’t mind helping us out with these chores

yeah that would be fantastic you sound like a really i mean you’re you’re a person who finds a solution

no matter what limitations you have and you aren’t scared of garbage also which that’s also huge for

us very big for us no no garbage if people just realize this garbage is your friend

what’s the hardest food to reclaim uh soups soups are difficult that’s

gotta be a pain soups are hard i won’t lie to you a cream soup a little bit

easier but uh broth forget about it yeah but can you do it is it is it a lot of

like it’s a lot of just kind of wringing out whatever you find that it may be soaked in well if you know the old story of the

stone soup story you know where somebody uh has uh comes into you of course yes

yes it’s just like that you just go around you say hey i got this soup i’m making and you know what you look like someone who

probably has a great recipe from your grandmother you’d like to add something to this uh people buy it you know and pretty

soon you’ve got a good good kettle of soup going but i it’s that is a tough road to hoe i’m not going to lie to you it is very

difficult people buy it or the people who are asking hey what are you cooking on that car radiator happen to have

money yes the radiator the radiator actually is where you actually cook the soup is in the radiator so

you you cook your your in a reclaimed car your steaks on the on the top of the

engine but uh your soups and your other your gravies uh you do that inside the radiator

because it’s getting stirred and mixed and done uh you’ve got to find a fine

texture which is what you’re looking for in a good soup have you ever had someone walk back over

and say hey that’s my car well you’re i have oh

that’s got to be tough it’s tough but when they find out their meal is on the house

i usually get away with it really the people will the people are fine with

losing their vehicle as long as they get a good meal from it they reclaim it

they reclaim it after i’m done and they end up with a free meal the reason i ask is because if you’re

cooking within the radiator i imagine that some of the functionality of the car might be gone

but you say are they okay with it in the same way that all of your customers are okay with

paying for their meals by the time they realize the car has some problems

i am not nowhere around yeah i already moved on i’m on to on to my next

restaurant yeah or your next reclaimed car yeah yeah you found a closed down

bennigan’s that hasn’t been touched since the mid 90s that one you uh set up shop oh that would be heaven oh

do you know of one oh i mean uh don’t give them away

you love your bennigan’s you don’t want to give them to know about my secret binnigans oh yeah yeah it’s in uh cleveland ohio

oh i know that mannequins i know okay then perfect i know that place i didn’t know it was out of business but uh now at least i

can set my sights on my next travel yeah i mean it might have gone back into

business in the last you know the last year has been really good for a lot of people so

maybe it it went back into business so i i couldn’t say but in any case it’s worth a trip to

ohio this time of year anyway yeah yeah that’s right worth the trip just to check if it’s

closed down um ohio’s famous spring

i love ohio in the spring people talk about paris but i must tell you ohio in the spring

ooh columbus cincinnati beautiful well you know i hate to bring

both of you up to this but it is actually summer at this point we’ve i know we’ve been so busy with our

work but it is summer right now that’s oh even better yeah ohio when it’s muggy

that’s free gravy is what that is my friend yeah when it gets muggy like that um wonderful but in any case um

we like i’m sorry but we do have to get these chores done uh you want to explain yeah yeah real quick

uh yeah so basically and look i’m not proud of this but me and dr london have been ignoring our chores

our of the tasks that we’re supposed to do around the house and clean and you know we haven’t been wiping down any of the tables or

bookshelves but we haven’t fed any of our friends for weeks at this point

all the stuff that we’re supposed to be doing like every day we weren’t really doing it so whining

loudly about it like we’re supposed to feed them like i get it but like get off my back too they’re like where am i why can’t i

see anything and it’s like this i have so much on my plate already but regardless we created this really

fun chore wheel so we put all of our chores everything on our to-do list on this wheel every week

we spin it whatever it lands on no matter what we have to do it and dr london even if

that means cleaning your socks and i know you hate that that’s your least favorite chore well it’s just it it takes a full team

to do it and yeah and like it’s so long because like it takes you know

multiple days which i think is yeah you got to do it i’m i i only if it lands on it

only if it lands on you you don’t have to do it ours we never land on that yet yeah all right genie sua um would you mind

going up and giving the wheel a spin for us no happy too happy to uh all right uh clockwise or

counterclockwise ooh i don’t have this question ever been asked that that is interesting

okay uh i mean i kind of want to say dealer’s choice and then we can sort of psychoanalyze his decision

yeah okay okay that’s i will go i will go witherships then as they say in the cooking business i

will go uh counterclockwise wow so he sort of counter culture this i

mean this really ties in with who he is right like he’s subversive he’s not

going with the flow he’s going against the grain yeah it’s i i

and i’m wondering and i’m trying to think back to all the other guests and how they spawn it and what does that mean

yeah now they’re all losers i think of every single guest that we’ve had and they’re all i mean conformist losers yes

well it’s they probably have never been to a good meal before good reclaimed yeah wow

all right well let’s get that spin going [Music]

oh no not this one oh no okay um do you want to read it off if

you don’t me too um yeah i mean i’ll go ahead and read it off okay

oh gosh i don’t want to have to do this all right uh so we have to come up

with movies based on their title so let me explain this dude

i can’t believe we have to do this dr london so basically well our studio i should clarify one of

the reasons why we have to do this is like our permit is very like it’s it’s a tenuous permit like he

he won’t let us keep it if we fail to follow any of his commands like we have to obey him in order to

keep doing this podcast so that sounds very draconian that he yeah yeah but please don’t say

it too loudly because he could hear um and so the mayor is starting this movie studio and he came up with in his

spare time a bunch of movie titles like that that’s kind of his contribution he’s like i’m gonna put all

this money for towards this movie studio but the only thing he’s like i’m more of an ideas guy

but an idea to him is just a title that he comes up with and so he’s sort of given the task to us

to figure out actually what the movie is going to be so this is what we got to do so i mean

dr lynn do you want to read one of the movie titles that he’s written down yeah yeah so this this first one here is

um it’s just called porcelain fog ooh so what is what is porcelain

so like what i think of off the bat is um i think of a toilet i think of

toilet too yeah toilet too yes and then the fog i guess only because the porcelain part

i wouldn’t have gone this way but then i think fog i think of yeah passing some gas like it smells yeah

sure bad afterwards so i guess this would have to be like a comedy s stinky um

oh like yeah the the sub genre of comedy stinky movies yeah that’s right yeah perhaps a uh

perhaps a rom-com with uh also someone who will not to pass gas

in front of their uh significant other yes only in the bathroom yes yes yes see i

have maybe a play on words here a little bit with uh you know fog something that’s really in

right now is movies about alzheimer’s so maybe if in this rom-com one of the

persons was getting dementia over time while also you know dealing with the

the uh gas aspect doesn’t when doesn’t know who’s he who smelled it

dealt it unless they didn’t remember stealing it that is the tagline that is the tagline

it’s on the poster word for word i mean do i think we have that solved do we want to cast it real quick

all right dame judy dench okay we got a judy dench in the main role and

uh let’s just get timothy chalamet in there oh that’s true yeah he’s hot right now

you know yeah and i think they’d work well together it’s a good team up yeah okay genie sua

would you want to read the next one uh yes yes yes absolutely um it is um

oh interesting a turtle named frank okay okay

so i mean i can tell you sorry you go ahead the first question i

have is just are we talking about a literal turtle or are we talking about someone who

maybe needs to come out of his shell uh or both or yeah a turtle who is stuck

inside of his shell see so the first thing i thought of just so that this is also on our minds

is that the dr seuss book where uh these you’re the turtle but all the

turtles are stuck and it i think was a metaphor for the uh for hitler in germany or maybe or um

yeah so so this is a this is a reboot okay reboot of your little turtle called

a turtle named frank wow and it sort of has yeah it has almost like more of a

serious title to it like you know yertle the turtle is a kind of funny but this is a turtle named

frank so maybe it’s more of yeah a dramedy maybe adam mckay sort of approach to uh

are we gonna we’re gonna keep the heavy like world war ii metaphors in there then yes yeah or do we make it more about uh

the uh uh the middle east uh afghanistan oh yeah because it’s modernized yeah

yeah modernize it yeah and that that should be easy to make a very clear message too so yeah uh because everyone’s in

agreement on what’s going on and how to solve it very quickly very clear-cut

yeah okay so we’ll just have i mean maybe we’ll have frank join the military

like maybe shortly after 9 11 or something like that and then maybe that could be the starting point of this story

great and let’s yeah i was gonna let’s not say any more on it only because our podcast doesn’t really get political

but this is of course a movie that will comment a lot on it but that will be done in the screenwriting and in the release

whenever we um hopefully and we haven’t been able to do it so far but i don’t even mention the us military and

don’t mention the atrocities they cause you get like two million dollars in funding like that

i don’t want to jump the gun but i think i see owen wilson um yes yes yeah that that is perfect

casting who should be his shell well i don’t think he’d want luke zach

galifianaicus ooh yeah i think that is a good hearing

have they worked together this could be nice weren’t they in some sort of bird

watching movie together where was zach galifianakis not in that um you have stumped me cameron couldn’t

tell you stumped me and this i’m really ashamed as you know sort of the

head moderator on the owen wilson wiki i i should know these things offhand but

anyway especially because that’s an elected position gentlemen i hate to call a halt to this but i um i actually have to go

yeah well it’s good because we were we were finished up there yes i just uh there’s some police uh knocking on the

door of this place i’m in it’s a old ihop

and i actually have to get going because well i think it should be

obvious why yeah uh real quick do you want to plug anything uh for any friends of yours maybe uh

yes uh you could listen to the uh the succotash podcast or sound soundcast as they call it i

don’t know why they have that crazy name uh they play clips of

things like your show they would probably feature your show um okay yeah i think they’ve done that time

or two various soundcasts so that’s worth listening to i listen to that when i’m in a sewer culvert

spending the night trying to get out of the weather great all right um well thank you to our

guest jimmy swa thank you to producer cameron thank you did you join the host
