?uestions @nswers with MiDi X Dekay PODCAST

Podcast notes #1 ?uestions and @nswers with MiDi X Dekay | Ep 1 This is a humorous, laid back yet genuinely informative show - well worth listening to more than once! I GOT LIPOSUCTION The conversation begins with an observation that television cameras can make you look very unflattering, whereas a carefully filtered photo can hide issues like being overweight “There’s two things in this world that don’t lie and that’s microphones and cameras” - MiDi - You have to be ready for that kind of scrutiny if you want to be in the public eye or it can send you mad, like Kanye West - MiDi does a very convincing impression of Kanye West’s outburst on TMZ (where he said “I had liposuction! I had liposuction... For you guys”) - The Kardashian family seem to be mainly comprised of plastic body parts They have recently released a video game of their life MiDi thought the game was about adding body parts together like Frankenstein - Dekay is of the opinion that they can do that if they want DONALD TRUMP’S HAIR “There’s a huge issue online now about Donald Trump coming to London, and you know... no one really wants him to” - Dekay Talk turns to the US presidential visit to London in the near future and the controversy surrounding it. - MiDi explains his theory that Donald Trump’s hair is going to rise above his head until it orbits him like a satellite (This may be something Nick Abbot would agree with…) THAT WAS REFRESHING Dekay and Midi talk beverages. Dekay is drinking Couvousier, Midi is drinking Appletiser. - Appletiser is made by the Coca Cola company - McDonalds sell vegan burgers and salads, presumably to cover all bases of customers - They have built up a huge brand for meat eaters, why then add healthy food... - Which sort of vegans would frequent a chain restaurant like McDonalds which is famously a mass seller of dead animals? THE ANTI VEGAN - You shouldn’t be enticed by the branding, as it contradicts the animal rights vegan ethos - Only vegans in despair would go to McDonalds for a burger in Dekay’s opinion. - The only shop that will survive in the future is a McDonalds... right next to the pyramids - Farmers markets are preferable to supermarkets but not always as easily accessible - It’s a different experience seeing the farmers that have grown your food - Dekay would like to see her own food as it grows naturally and see exactly where it comes from FISH AND CHIPS - Dekay wants to know what the essential British cuisine entails, and what MiDi likes to eat... - Fish and chips is a classic - MiDi does not like many types of seafood - There are certain fish and chip shops which sell frozen Iceland type products for the same price as quality fresh ones - There is a great fish and chip shop in Brixton which allows patrons to bring in their own drinks - MiDi reminisces on bad experiences of steak pies which taste more like “some evil…thing” - He prefers to make his own special recipe for meat and potatoes at home, however he is keeping the technique a secret! The show ends with a light-hearted reference to cult British comedy Fawlty Towers “I know nothing!”
