Of course I love Brad but I really do admire how Gaby can just say "I wasn't finished talking" when he interrupts her.

[@Huddlestonize]

feckless clod I don’t necessarily think that they meant to sound dismissive, but were just pointing out the fact that Brad and Gaby are friends and that may be a reason that she feels comfortable calling him out. If anything, I feel like this is telling of the difficulty for women (and especially bipoc women) to be able to have a voice in white patriarchies where they are made to feel like strangers or guests. It’s also notable, i think, that even after she commented on his interruption, he did not stop talking and she was never able to finish her thought.

its so interesting how Claire seems very confident and talkative in bon Appetit videos but here you can tell that she's actually rather quiet :)

[@BerserkerTwo]

Agreed, but I think thats mostly because she's more of an academic than the others. She grew up pretty sheltered and book focused and then went into Harvard, trained overseas. Shes fond of crafts and puzzles less so public speaking and theatrics. This part is just me speculating but id wager thats probably why she likes hanging around brad because hes a sort of seat of the pants guy with this loud voice and wild personality.

[@md9691]

Could just be a matter of wanting to let the others have their time in the spotlight.

[@tvtitlechampion3238]

It's pure speculation as far she goes, but introverts tend to temper their expressions with a heavy dose of editing, which slows down their rate of articulation, ie. paralysis by analysis. She's certainly not inarticulate, but she measures her words carefully. If she were a style of music, she'd be something formal like classical, maybe hymnals.

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

David Niven has the definitive word on this in his autobiography "The Moon's A Balloon." Roughly, from memory, "Indian," like "curry," is an English invention: after the English invaded the subcontinent they ran across all these spices. So they sent a bunch of the spices back to England. The rough seas broke all the crates and the spices got all mixed up in the hold, so back home the poor merchants boxed it up and sold it to the stoopid English as "curry." In the same sense, "Injah" is an English word meaning "all those peoples out there."

[@siyamalhotra6566]

I’ll tell you what, I love Priya. I’m from Delhi in fact, where you arguably get the best Indian(well, north at least) food. I really do like most of her recipes, Dahi toast and Saag feta were quite great actually. I just think the more traditional she goes, some times, the more she alienates the Indian audience because we all have in some way tweaked recipes according to our palettes, but she should never stop because she’s got a great presence and personality.

Random thoughts in no particular order: I wish we could have heard more from Molly. Adam calling Priya Sohla was super cringe. I would love to see a video that follows Gaby around at a regular work day. Christina and Andy being work spouses is super cute. Carla is so gorgeous! I'd love to go out with Molly and Andy one night in NYC. Chris is probably such a great dad.

I'd also replace Rapo with like, at least 3 other BA staff. Major "how do you do, fellow kids?" vibes from Adam hosting this, maybe Rhoda would have been better to read out the questions. She probably has a fair share of stories as the right-hand woman to everyone on stage. I'm also sad to see there's no Delaney, Amiel, or Rick.

he doesnt need permission to give his opinion, at the time he was the chief editor so he was very likely the boss of their bosses, the problem was that he was too arrogant, and didnt realize that in 2020's crybaby generation, the employees now gang up on social media to not only ruin you but the entire enterprise that provides a living for others not seen on camera, just to make a nominal increase.
