FRENCHY LIES! TikTok FOOD WASTE? Mario Batali & Robert DeNiro | SYWGF Podcast EP 2

[@bleukettu4521]

Female viewer here since day one. I've always liked Brian, but Frenchie is such a unique and adorable addition. His snark and lack of filter is my favorite aspect of this podcast.❤

[@neidagaddie1835]

I love both of y'all humor, for a person who has a lot of dark humor and I'm a mom please don't stop ever ok

[@RJH_LIL]

I'm part of that 10% ladies audience, I must say that we LOVE LOVE FRENCHIE! You two just work together, mesh well, and love the back and forth banter. The sense of humor Frenchie has makes me rewatch some of the older videos. Watching Paul laughing HARD at that horse video still makes me laugh. ❤ u guys.

[@katcalico9142]

Another female here - Frenchie is adorable. He might annoy me if I met him in person, but he is so much fun to watch. Like a scowling French teddy bear. You guys make a dynamic duo. Are you sure your stats are right - there seem to be a lot of us here. 😂

[@Positiffity_Vibes]

As a proud member of the 10% Women Club…can we have member jackets? 😏 But these videos always put a smile on my face…the two of you are irreplaceable 🥰🥰🥰

[@timokampwerth1996]

The Reason Central Europe is a broad category is fairly simple: War. France and Germany were at each other's throats with the Netherlands in the Crossfire literally for Centuries while Italy and Spain/Portugal are tucked away behing mountainranges. During all the pillaging, one occupying the other, Migration of war refugees from A to B etc. the genetics became basically one unit.

[@sirene351]

French female viewer here ! I absolutely love your duo ! I'm glad that Frenchie is now the co host 😊 c'est un vrai plaisir de vous écouter ! J'attends les vidéos avec impatience 👌🏽

[@fun_sized]

I feel so special to be called out! I love y’all both :D

[@maggie6305]

I'm female and been a viewer before Frenchie came in. He did bring in a new entertainment and I love it. I enjoy dark humor. Lifes too short to take everything offensively.

[@catherinejones5807]

Wow! Thanks for the shout out! I’m honored!😘 I loved the discussion about Julia Child. As a young child, I watched Julia Child’s The French Chef along side Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. She inspired my lifelong interest in good food and cooking. It amazes me that even after all these years Julia Child still inspires chefs and home cooks to this day. She’s a true classic icon in the TV Chefs culture. Maybe do a show about Julia Child and her influence on generations of chefs and home cooks?

[@mizztab3677]

Watched the Galloping Gourmet as well

[@bridgetboyle687]

I’m a female viewer age 55 so I’m two ticks on the KZbin stats. Been a viewer of Chef Brian‘ I first stumbled across him on KZbin a few years ago, recognizing him on the Beat Bobby Flay season one. I just adore the chemistry between both of you. When you start laughing, I’m laughing. The genuine friendship, the discussion, and the knowledge base of food has helped me to become a better cook at home. Both of you are adorable.

[@peterwatkins671]

I now demand a recount of Bobby flay season one

[@Amaquieria]

I love Frenchy because he remains true to himself. In a world where so many people change their opinions or bend over backwards to try and please a vocal minority, it's refreshing to see someone so steadfast in who they are and their opinions but still also open minded enough to know not everyone agrees with them and that's okay. Brian I've watched for awhile for his cooking knowledge but his interactions with Frenchy just brings out a greater dynamic.

[@dreadpiratemary9379]

Absolutely agreed. :)

[@MartiniGTGP]

Didnt we already see the ethnicity reveal like 2 times? Loool 😂

[@starparodier91]

Oooh I’m part of a special 10% club! :D

[@Gogettor]

THIBAUD IS THE MAN! Super nice last time I was at LR

[@thegdbatmeg]

I'm surprised the lady percentage is only 10%! I'll hope that number rises on the main channel too, but can't blame us ladies for enjoying Frenchie!

[@cymonfrost6312]

First of all, LOVE you guys!!! I have heard you talk several times about eventually moving towards cooking together. You have also talked about social media and building numbers on your channel. As you have already observed by reacting to other cooking channels, they have higher numbers. Your viewers and listeners can only HEAR your skill level and knowledge, but demonstration is everything. People love to cook along with their favorite cooks and chefs. It's an incredible connection. When I was first married to my wife, she burned water. After watching, and cooking along with Emiril, she eventually became an incredible cook doing everything from scratch and using only fresh ingredients. With my daughter, it was Gordon. You two have an INCREDIBLE opportunity to have two generations on the screen and cooking at the same time. Your amazing relationship is a HUGE plus. There isn't anyone like you two on social media with combined knowledge and experience from two very individual points of view. I think that you have a unique opportunity and should take advantage of it. Just my opinion.

[@adamacosta4615]

2nd

[@eloquentsarcasm]

As a guy, I think Frenchie is a riot, he has even less of a filter than I do, and I appreciate that. He knows his shit, and ain't ashamed to bust balls, classic New Yorker attitude. Born and raised in Chicago and we have a lot in common in that regard, so hell yeah Frenchie, don't ever change.

[@knocknockify]

A new podcast episode!! My favorite time of the week! I’m the 10% of your fans that are female. I’ve been watching your channel for a long time, and I’m so happy to see the direction the channel is taking! Glad you got Frenchie onboard as well, you guys have perfect chemistry.

[@ladybagels6523]

I'm one of the 10% ladies and I've been around for the start of pro chefs reacts.Love y'all both and my favorite episode is the one where y'all freak out over Gugas deep fried babybels

[@vagabondwastrel2361]

Bill Nye is an engineer and Beakman was an actual scientist. I remember when I was in jr. high my science teacher went to some place where Bill Nye was doing a meet and greet and was completely snubbed people. He just showed up did the public relations photo shoot with people in the background then bounced. It was actually pretty sad because that was one of the few great teachers at that school.

[@IamDrSpock]

While watching this Frenchie said he'd proudly never use advertisements... and then KZbin interrupted to try to sell me a Chevy.

[@huggamuffin508]

I am neurodivergent and sound is very important. So music is like oxygen for my brain. The two of you are so great that I feel no shame cheating on Spotify with KZbin. I really wish I had the money to give back to you both. :(

[@AudreyW1997]

I for one am proud to be apart of the 10% woman's club here on SYWGF. I Love frenchie!! And you too brian! Lol

[@audreybossman8369]

It can be a bitch to ditch filler words. I remember going to an Army school and one of the main focuses was cutting them out. I would sit there watching my classmates do presentations and I would mark a tick on a piece of paper for every infraction and show them. One dude got close to 100 filler words in five minutes. He was like consistantly...uhhh.. completely and totally and fully..fuckin...uh..ya know..uh...doing it like all the time. I showed him his score and it stopped pretty rapidly. Love you guys! Please the great conversation coming. Don't fret Frenchie/Italianie, you'll like totally get there! :)

[@pattiannharris4659]

Like, uh, um, so, I really appreciate and love Frenchie! ❤️

[@Sofia-qi7fw]

Spanish doc here! Appreciate the wholesome content u guys put out, helps me get thru the week😊 On the guy who faked the heart attacks, I can confirm you do not have to pay for ambulances in Spain, however, you do have to pay for food😂

[@theempirebruh9697]

First of all, I love the podcast, Chefs! I'm fortunate enough to have found this pod very early on and see just how its going to evolve over time. I have three questions that are quite unrelated to one another, but here it goes. Is rivalry between restaurants a real thing? If so, what's a crazy story you can tell about that? Do either of you have an irrational fear of something? i.e. fear of balloons, fear of spiders, fear of forks, etc. Lastly, when is the last time you shit your pants? Why? Thank you so much! This is Michael Moses, non competitor in the first season of Beat Bobby Flay and I hope to see you in the next video!

[@wowcarnage]

Brilliant, I'm putting "non competitor in the first season of beat Bobby flay" on my resume right next to wikipedia editor.

[@Amenhir1]

You guys play off each other so well that's what makes this podcast so enjoyable to watch. I'm sure this won't mean much in the grand scheme of things but I believe this is the only podcast that I've subscribed.

[@GamzeMutfakta]

I'm also a proud member of that 10% ladies club🥰 Frenchie always puts a smile on my face..💜 u guys...

[@carbonscythe]

27:26 Frenchie realizing that he has miles to go with his comedy before it gets "too much"

[@paladonis]

I wanted to add onto the "Like", "Um", "Uh", etc conversation. I worked at a large aquarium for 13 years and used to do the animal talks and presentations. We would call those "Crutch words". Now that you have noticed it in yourself, you will be driven BONKERS by how much you hear it from others. I would also add, it can come back if you don't practice. What these "Crutch words" represent are pauses when trying to think of what to say next. That's why it clashes on camera. In public speaking they teach you to pause a moment and then continue. Pausing is "dead air" on camera which is viewed as negative as well. Eventually, now that you have noticed it, you will correct it...or not

[@alanlujan8955]

So now we found out that Frenchie is everything but French. 😂😂😂😂😂 34:35

[@doreencaputo2942]

3:28 Ye ol' humour of the gallows. Love it! I was a high rish maternity nurse and nurses have a sick sense of humor lol. It's an important coping skill, honestly.

[@alanlujan8955]

OMG 😂😂😂😂 I literally peed myself laughing 😆 so hard at this podcast. My whole rib cage hurts. 😅

[@jessicaemghee]

I like the conversations you have with Frenchie. I’m really just commenting for the algorithm.

[@leylahoatman1897]

IM CRYING 😭😭 I was not expecting to be in the comments

[@lizafrench8455]

FRENCHIE!!! You are great!!! so are you, brian

[@BlitzRazor]

At least now we know that that "My Heritage" ad came from this episode. But it is great to see it being explored more in depth in this episode. As always, I am enjoying the podcast

[@Destin5258]

Frenchie - "this makes no fucking sense!" European history - "yeah... about that..."

[@qty1315]

A topic I was just thinking about is how food trends change throughout the decades. I don't know what pro chefs think about it, but sometimes it gets brought up in media. Like, on Kitchen Nightmares when Gordon Ramsay will visit old restaurants that haven't updated their menus in decades he'll make comments like "This menu is stuck in the 80s," and there are channels that have made videos talking specifically about how pizza restaurants change the kinds of pizza they serve and how they present themselves based on the decade, like how in the 90s it was all about putting as much cheese and pepperoni as possible on a pizza, the 2000s was about health-conscious and affordable pizza (mac and cheese pizza at pizza buffets, for instance), and nowadays the trend for pizza seems to be more focused on chicken and veggies more than on pepperoni and sausage. One scene that sticks out to me is when Tom Hanks in Castaway returns to society to find that the food trends have completely shifted. So, he sees King Crab being served and he looks at it curiously and isn't sure how to engage with it. He just looks at the crab and you can tell he's thinking "What the heck is this and how do I eat it?" while everyone else is thinking "Wow. He doesn't know how to eat this very common food. What a tragic story," without realising that just a few years earlier they didn't know what King Crab was either.

[@Shampaggin]

Can we have the 10% Women Club as our official Frenchy fan sobriquet? I'd also like to see a bit of a history segment on Louis-Camille Maillard and the best discovery in cooking since fire. ETA am Italian, and "F*&k you, you f*&ckin' Italian" sent me.

[@JanetSilversides]

Te amo, Ich liebe dich,je t’aime, frenchie and Chef Brian. I am a member of the food service industry(20 years+) and female! Your comments, observations and your perspectives on the goings on in the restaurant business is so on point!! Thanks for educating the masses! P.S. the general public needs it. Well done! Thanks.

[@pauldenamiel]

Je t’aime aussi

[@jonathanhughes1318]

Human Pollution definitely sounds like a future album or song from Cattle Decapitation. 🤘🏻😂🤘🏻

[@ozmartian2]

My fave death metalhead Chef is back! 🤘🤘🤘

[@catherinejones5807]

Chef Brian, I found the perfect video for you and Chef Paul to react to. It’s “Dessert Pasta from Elf Botched by Babish” You GOT to do this! You won’t be sorry. Maybe add another guest or two.

[@artiepavlov6593]

I think the best part of culinary education (french culinary is soho) was the last part of it - the actual work at the shool's restaurant. It was fulfilling, RIP the school's restaurant. And not to praise my class but our food was head over feet better than any other time I've been there as a customer.

[@DukeDaNuke-om5by]

I love dark humor its fuckin great lol

[@meloiassume8563]

10% Women club from the Philippines ~ I love both of you, Brian and Frenchie!!!

[@artiepavlov6593]

I remember the Spotte Pig's burgers back in the day. They were so good!

[@mumzly1]

Holy shit, this triggered some core memories. I remember loving Beakman's World but I forgot the name. I just remembered it as the science show with the giant rat guy. I'm so glad I watched this.

[@terubokmasin3247]

Chef Bryan, since you're a guitar guy, why don't you use some of your your noodlings as background music? Heck, maybe you can make a shredding intro/outro for the pod! With Frenchie on the mic... 🤔

[@doreencaputo2942]

Wendy's "Big Classic " used to be so so good!

[@janzizka9963]

Even as a guy I appreciate Frenchie's beauty. Brian, beware, if Frenchie ever loses weight, he'll be like a burning Sun 😁 BTW: Regarding that Irish and Scottish ancestry of Frenchie. In some cases this could mean he is a continental gaul (celt). It would make sense with those Iberian admixtures etc. Could mean that Frenchie does not have Irish ancestors but has common ancestor with them. Corsicans and Sicilians have even genes that predate Yamnaya conquest of Europe (where proto-indoeuropeans of Yamnaya culture replaced majority of original pre-indoeuropean population)

[@pauldenamiel]

Perfect description

[@Elchansan]

That whole Asian vs US way of grocery shopping is something I never did understand. I'm from the Philippines and I stayed in the US for about a month back in 2018. I stayed with friends/family in 5 different states, and in every single house around 1/5 of the stuff in their fridge had gone bad.

[@nguyentri6651]

Fatman and Robese is back ! Love you Frenchie. Keep being the happy fun ball that you are. And.... oh hey Brian.

[@musab.k.9870]

No way you call them Fatman and Robese bruh 😭😭😭

[@vagabondwastrel2361]

I prefer Fatman and Rubin.

[@azyfloof]

Robese! 😂😂 That's so terrible and hilarious loll

[@elijahczardaquio6999]

I just noticed, it is cool to see frenchie wearing a mission sandwich jacket...i love watching you guys, i love your rwaction videos, podcast, colabs with other youtubers....i would love to see your reaction to watching "worst cooks in America"...

[@YoKnow]

Well now we all know Bobby couldn't make a sandwich to save his life! Thanks Brian, your welcome Frenchie!

[@badelementofstyle5238]

Maybe I'm just nostalgic, but Rally's/Checker's always seems fresher than other fast food restaurants

[@ForbiddenFoodTV]

I think for me, the content that gets me the most is the wasteful and cringy excessive meal trend. People making these gross ass pasta bakes, mixing pasta dishes, nachos, etc on their marble counters. It's just gross, excessive, and obviously to provoke a response. Frenchy's speechless face 🤣 Of brief moment with Blondie on the phone ❤ I can sense her vibes just based on her voice. She seems so sweet. Getting Frenchy to give Brian an "I love you" is like tricking a dog by having to hide their medication in a roll of deli meat 😂 I think the word you were looking for speaking on the burgers, Brian was "circumference" 😂 Another great episode, guys 👏🏻

[@doreencaputo2942]

20:54 i think the chicken cupcakes could work with crispy popcorn chicken. Meat was used much more in desserts in the past (think mincemeat pie) so its an interesting nod to that tradition i suppose.

[@wowcarnage]

Saying to Frenchie "I love your "Coq..... au vin" in this day and age where everyone has the power to cut and edit? I'm not saying someone should make a nice meme out of that Brian, but someone should...

[@williamiwells]

We just going to ignore Frenchie's test had ABSOLUTELY ZERO ENGLISH? (I know that is what he was most worried about!)

[@pauldenamiel]

Yes! Yes! Yes!!!!!!!

[@katcurnow1934]

I've yet to see the importance on if you were the dishwasher, do not let sharps through, wash by hand. I've cut my hand a bunch of times because the cook would just throw it in the first compartment sink. Then you get hey I need more plates or silverware, you cut your hand. In the pro kitchen, would you leave a sharp ass knife in the sink for the dishwasher?

[@TomMaster]

YES WE DONT HAVE WEIRD NUMBERS NOWWW LETS GOOOOOOOOO

[@vanessafrancis774]

I can say my accent changes between English and French. I have been speaking both from a young age. English is my main language but because where I live I speak both daily.

[@jrisomfoobar]

I like the "Is a hotdog a sandwich" comment, but, is a taco a tex mex gyro?

[@NewVenari]

Sous Vide in a sink? He's going to damage the silicone around the tub.

[@ExaltedDuck]

If I ever get a chance to go, I'm gonna ask if Frenchy can whip up some Aunt Myrna's Party Cheese Salad for ?dessert? (I don't know, what course is it meant for?)

[@Gilly-bean]

Are we sure we're 10%? As a member of the female audience, I believe there are lot of lurking ladies in the shadows checking out the Pro chef and the Animal

[@kelleyrawlings614]

Speaking of cooking and marking new recipes, I've picked up a lot from watching Uncle Roger. Especially what not to do, lol

[@johnlopez9014]

My great grandfather was Corsican! Culinary wise, is it then a mix of Italian n French?

[@rodneyschmidtiii]

Still wanting you guys to do a tier list of cooking movies

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

~38:45 wow... My French is learned in school and rarely practiced, but this explains why I don't like 'Quebec' as a language. I've never seen it as a different dialect before... Tabarnak...

[@hizurumegumi5727]

Also a little side note, the Irish, Scots, and Welsh could be more accurately described as Celtic-Gaelic because the Irish and Scottish are indeed Celtic but are particular Gaelic and the Welsh are well Celtic

[@chriscornelius2479]

I always hit the like button before the video even starts because I know it's going to be a banger. And you've never disappointed!

[@vagabondwastrel2361]

I used to be a cleaner at a motel and that video wasn't even close to the worst thing I had to clean. Also, I would wipe down every surface that isn't a wall... outside of one of those stories... It was clean enough. The most dirty thing in a motel is actually the comforter. Those take a bit more to clean so those tend to get left a few guests between cleaning. Sheets and pillows get swapped every time.

[@vagabondwastrel2361]

A slider can be eaten in a single bite. aka it slides down. Also beef between two bread is a burger. The buns are just fancy.

[@kinggacha7274]

I'm not a woman but I can say Frenchie's got at least one gay fan 🙌

[@pauldenamiel]

Liking this for my ego

[@timpindell8178]

Really love the two of you making this content, it makes me get into the kitchen more every week. I know it's winter, but what about a food truck review in your area? The two of you REALLY need to do some cooking together as well, when time allows. Something tells me if it's done Guga style, not in a rush it would make for epic content. Could do a taste test with some of the guests you have had on the podcast as well.

[@adamacosta4615]

I fucking love you frenchhie. And Brian ur growing on me

[@Sharky762]

Great one again guys!

[@Nidhoggrr]

I have about 15-20 people I would consider "friends"..... And I don't have time to spend with even half of them. I work 5-6 days a week and my time off is usually spent working a side business or with family. I might hang out with a friend once or twice a MONTH. Shopping every day in America is not really feasible. I get good quality food in bulk that stores when I can and only go to the store for foodstuff that has to be fresh like veggies.

[@lmsmith015]

I'm a woman, I love you both, and I hate lip filler.

[@MaddieMadMoo1]

Part of the 10% Womens's Club and British and older (46 years old) so I am definitely out of your KZbin demographic, but I I love Frenchie and I love both of your banter.

[@blakewilson7762]

So I just heard a commercial for outback. Apparently they are making a French onion steak. Can't help but wonder if someone from outback watches y'all and is stealing that idea from the French onion soup burgers

[@jimmydu2549]

if you go to the grocery every day, then it cost more.

[@lollertoaster]

Why is there a 15 minute segment for replaying the exact same clip of Frenchie reacting to MyHeritage test in every episode? That's weird.

[@pauldenamiel]

Yes! It’s super annoying!! Brian!!!!

[@reliablevariable1615]

lol talking about Checkers made me imagine Frenchy being in the hood and then noping the freak out of there!😂 I’m not surprised Brian has been there at all. He prob knew it was going to be bad the moment he saw it and finished it anyway lol

[@Five_by_Five9340]

Don’t ever undersell yourself Brian! Frenchie may be the…shall we say…amuse-bouche of the show, but you’re the whole Thanksgiving dinner! Looking forward to visiting your shop!

[@lunix3401]

I have a question for both of you. What brands would you suggest for the kitchen for at home cooking? I need new cookware and would love suggestions.

[@streamandtell724]

Nice episode, found you guys through the some ordinary podcast looking forward to more good episodes, also what would you guys recommend as a good struggle meal?

[@wismsgre]

Hey guys. Love your content. Would be amazing to see you react and give your opinion on the cube rule of food. There is an amazing video by Lucid Software (What is a Sandwich?) on the matter. I think it will be a funny segment. Keep on with the amazing job

[@Piromania09]

BTW, maybe it's a little late to comment but: Welsh, Irish, Scottish (Celtic-Gauls)+ Italian (Romans)+North European (Germanic-Franks) + a little bit of of Iberian (Basques) = French (of European ancestry).

[@Erawan89]

Thanks for another episode! Love the main channel and love the podcast! Don't usually comment but I love watching your stuff. Me and a friend are heading up to NY in late March for a concert but we want to stop by both of your restaurants as well (Will mention the podcast). Keep up the great work!

[@grimreaperx89ify]

As a black man i can assure chicken fried cupcakes does not look fun 😂😅😂 its looks like the initiation of WIDE BACKS

[@MisterSiga]

Teach Frenchie to say "Wo-Ai-Ni"

[@pvpxrt5413]

Don't feel too bad lot of people have a crunch word like is the most common one

[@OrAngeAnArchy]

@23:05 Yea, I'm with Frenchie on this one. The Sanitary issues I have along with the other things where i wonder how much of a mess does he leave for the hotel cleaners. Thats just gross.

[@darthpapa13]

So Frenchie, I work in a Customer Care Center and my boss, he´s the best boss i ever had, but he really likes to rehear and critique my calls with me and boyyy, my list of "prohibited" words is sooo large! And tbh, i didn't even realize you are repetitive. And there are way worse habits in talking. For example, when someone has a sentence, they repeat like, "as i said", but you get that two times per sentence.. So i wouldn't consider it a big issue, but a nice to have. I'm fully team form follows function, because its pretty by being itself. but sometimes, you know...pretty is pretty and doesn't need to be practical. And I have to say, Blondie did make a decent entry to the show! :D You should do this, to tease people you invite. just a very short, spontaneous call. OOORRAHH! I´d love a "Human Polution" shirt. Maybe with you two, dressed up as terminator and rambo, who shoot fosb's out of sandwiches :D Man i write quite a bit here. will stop here tho xD

[@wowcarnage]

I'm gonna get the paper, get the paper..
