Idea: A dating/hookup app combined with a food delivery app where one party (usually the male) arrives at their date's house with their date's food order for an at-home dinner date with the expectation of likely hooking up afterwards. Also: a more wholesome version ("Chef's Kiss") where the date brings a home-cooked meal; it would be good for guys who have body odor, because the food smell would mask the B.O.; Carl's app prototype called "Taco Meet" to help friends collect taco orders for a group order; multiple guys competing to deliver "Five Guys" to one woman, which would be "so many guys" Lucky Lee (instagram.com/luckyleecomedy chelsealuckyleewoudstra.weebly.com) David Carson (Email Newsletter: david-carson.com Blog: dumbify.beehiiv.com) Carl Sobel (linktr.ee/Carl_Sobel_Comedy facebook.com/ComedyNightAtRiverCitySaloon) Krinker (facebook.com/ryan.krinker) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
Idea: A comedy/horror sitcom about a salon and spa which is run by a friendly ghost and markets itself as haunted. Also: a salon mirror showing a customer giving an evil smile instead of their reflection; scared customers jumping and causing the stylist to cut a bald spot in their hair; claiming your ghost boss Ratatouille'd you in order to blame her for screwing up a haircut Lucky Lee (instagram.com/luckyleecomedy chelsealuckyleewoudstra.weebly.com) David Carson (Email Newsletter: david-carson.com Blog: dumbify.beehiiv.com) Carl Sobel (linktr.ee/Carl_Sobel_Comedy facebook.com/ComedyNightAtRiverCitySaloon) Krinker (facebook.com/ryan.krinker) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
Idea: Taxidermied animals as emotional support animals for situations where you can't have a living emotional support animal, such as if you can't get a doctor's note, you're allergic, or you just can't handle the upkeep of a living pet. Also: it's like the evil "blood diamond" version of a stuffed animal; the horror of seeing someone on a plane having a panic attack while intensely squeezing a dead animal; a Tamagotchi taxidermied animal that you have to care for, or a robotic one which is controlled remotely by a real pet so you can "mute" or disable it on a plane if it's causing trouble; other clever and/or practical uses of taxidermied animals, such as a cup, a fire extinguisher, or a literal drug mule Lucky Lee (instagram.com/luckyleecomedy chelsealuckyleewoudstra.weebly.com) David Carson (Email Newsletter: david-carson.com Blog: dumbify.beehiiv.com) Carl Sobel (linktr.ee/Carl_Sobel_Comedy facebook.com/ComedyNightAtRiverCitySaloon) Krinker (facebook.com/ryan.krinker) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Все началось с того, что успешный бизнесмен, известный шоумен и продюсер, владелец элитного столичного стриптиз-клуба Лаки Ли решил снять документальный фильм, повествующий о новой в России отрасли развлечений - стриптизе. Картина получила название Mission: StriPeace-Unbelievable. Фильм собрал целую плеяду наград именитых кинофестивалей и конкурсов: - «Лучший иностранный фильм» на The Colorado Film International Film Festival в CША; - номинация «Галерея портретов выдающихся людей» на Международном миротворческом кинофестивале «Я люблю МИР» в Ялте; - номинация Platinum Reel Award Winners на фестивале Nevada Film Festival 2017. Далее, в 2018 году, Лаки Ли получил орден «За вклад в общественную деятельность России» из рук доверенного лица Владимира Владимировича Путина. Связав эти события с ошеломительной популярностью различных миротворческих акций и проектов, Лаки осознал значимость и всеобщее одобрение его миротворческой программы. Вследствие этого он пришел к мнению, что деятельность PeaceMan'a небезразлична обществу не только в России, но и получает одобрение народов из самых разных уголков планеты. Так произошла последняя трансформация Лаки Ли из миротворца в миротворца-блогера. Лаки понял, что должен донести свое мировоззрение до как можно большего числа людей. С этой целью он запустил свой собственный Youtube-канал PeaceManRU. Подписывайся на YouTube-канал PeaceManRu, следи за жизнью Лаки и его команды!

Nicky and Manny are scratching their heads. A Manhattan woman decided to open a Chinese restaurant where her and her "food sensitive" friend can enjoy some asian cuisine without having to worry about any food allergies. What is the big deal, you say... She decided to market the restaurant as "clean"! Yes, Arielle Haspel a white jewish woman opened a Chinese restaurant named "Lucky Lee's", named after her adoring husband, a white jewish man. Arielle in a since deleted post, has stated that "Lucky Lee's" menu is for "people who love to eat Chinese food & love the benefit that it will actually make them feel good." She also mentioned on her blog, "Chinese food is usually dosed in brown sauces & makes your eyes puffy." This is truly something you would think would be in an episode of "Seinfeld". Nicky makes a point that people should diversify their friends like they diversify their pro-foilo. Although the sentiment of a health conscious restaurant doesn't seem so bad, the marketing is where she went wrong. Anyone can open any kind of restaurant, but it is their responsibility to understand the culture, not the stereotype of the culture.

A food-related idiom for our food-related episode. This episode tackles a long contested topic — cultural appropriation. And this time, it's in food. With the opening of Lucky Lee's, a healthy Chinese restaurant right next to NYU operated by a white woman, as well as Gordon Ramsay's "authentic Asian eating house," the Asian community has to contend with these situations and what it is about cultural appropriation that feels so hurtful. Listen to our episode to hear our insights.
This week Imran and David talk about robots replacing the sex industry, if the Lucky Lee controversy is really a controversy and if people really learn from punishment
Clean Chinese Food and Runaway Pigs It’s 2019 and people still use food to perpetuate racist stereotypes. Food blogger and nutritionist Arielle Haspel opened up “Lucky Lee’s” a “clean” Chinese Restaurant named after her husband. I personally don’t have a problem with someone opening up a restaurant serving food from ethnicities or cultures not their own, as long as they respect it. Haspel is not respecting Chinese culture by playing into awful stereotypes about Chinese Food being greasy and making you feel bloated. Don’t even get me started on MSG. In the ’50s and ’60s, Chinese Restaurants were incredibly popular, but never considered fine dining because of negative stereotypes. Putting up Instagram posts saying that your food has less oil than traditional Chinese Food is like putting up a post saying “Our chicken is real chicken, not cat like other Chinese restaurants” Also, this place is only open from 11-3 so its barely a restaurant. In other news Princess, the Pig escaped her pen in Humboldt County, California. A neighbor posted a photo on Facebook, and the local police were able to figure out who the owner was. They went to a neighbors house to ask him to watch Princess while they tracked down her owners. The neighbor obliged, but when the police got back to the home, the neighbor was in the front yard butchering Princess. R.I.P Princess the Pig, we hardly knew ye. Tipping is Stupid and Unfair, but Completely Necessary Finance Giant CNBC ran this article in February, but it went viral this week. With a clickbaity title like”This Tipping Trip Can Save You Up To $400 A Year”, of course, I knew not to expect anything good, and would probably walk away angry. Long story short, to save you the click and not give them the web traffic, the author says that it is socially acceptable to tip on the pre-tax total instead of the post-tax total and he is correct but just because he is correct doesn’t mean he is right. People, customers, guests, whatever you would like to call them don’t tip on service. They tip on personality, how they connect with their server, and a million other tiny little things. All this author did was take money out of servers pockets. This article will not turn any pre-tax tippers into post-tax tippers but will have people think that they are saving money(You just spent $100 on dinner, tipping $20 instead of $22 isn’t going to save anything) Tipping is a necessary evil though. I definitely come from a place of privilege for what I am about to say. I’m a Tall Cis-Het White Male who has only worked at Upscale Casual/Fine Dining establishments. Every place I’ve ever worked at had a check average of $50-$100 per person, and people tip me between 18 and 20 percent. I love working for tips because I live in a place where people tip well, and I am a person that statistically speaking, people like to give money to. If you live in a small town and work at a chain restaurant that gets people in by serving them 3 courses for $10, tips are everything to you. That fifty cents you get from a table tipping post-tax might be what actually keeps you above zero this week. Server wage is $2.13/hr in most places, which means after taxes you are working strictly for tips. I can go deep into serving actually being skilled labor, and how most people reading this cannot do what my team is able to do. Every dinner is a symphony that I’m conducting, and much like a conductor, all I can do is tell my orchestra what to do and hope they execute it correctly. If your food comes out wrong, give the restaurant a chance to fix it before you decide you now aren’t going to tip. If you ask a female server for her number and she says no and you don’t tip, you’re a garbage person. Lastly, if you actually want to save money, learn to cook and dine out less. The best way to learn to cook is to keep following us on Instagram and Twitter and asking us questions about recipes, techniques, and anything else you can think of food wise. A Guide to Sake with Zak Gross Sake Expert Zak Gross joined us in the studio this week to talk all this Sake. Zak is a partner of Soto Sake, a newer sake brand that is taking the US by storm. It is an incredibly smooth and affordable Junmai Daiginjo. Essentially everything I know about sake I learned from Zak. We worked together at Sen Sakana and he made sure to teach me everything I needed to know and then some. I still occasionally text him questions and he always gets back to me and explains his answer thoroughly. Zak started serving at a very popular Japanese Restaurant in Hollywood, California and decided he would separate himself from the other servers by learning about sake and being able to upsell expensive bottles. His sake knowledge allowed him to go work at top Japanese restaurants all over LA and NYC. He eventually became the head bartender at Shuko and then worked with as the Beverage Director at Sen Sakana. Sake 101 There are two ways to categorize sake Purity: Junmai: Roughly translates to “Pure” this classification means that this sake was made only with Water, Yeast, Rice, and Koji. The rice milling can be at 70% for it to be called Junmai, but can also be a prefix for Ginjo and Daiginjo, hence Soto Sake being a Junmai Daiginjo. If sake does not have the Junmai label it means that the brewer decided to add a small amount of neutral spirit to the sake. Milling: Honjozo: This is the most popular classification of sake in Japan. It is the minimum amount of polishing at 70%. I like to try a brewery’s Honjozo before I try anything else because if it is good, the rest of their sake will most likely be good Ginjo: Rice with a polishing rate of 60% or less, a cleaner sake compared to Honjozo Daiginjo: Rice with a polishing rate of 50% or less, the highest quality sake

What is country music? If you ask Billboard, it’s definitely not Lil Nas X’s viral sensation, and the number one song in America, “Old Town Road”. The song, which was also remixed with country star Billy Ray Cyrus, has country themes, vibes, and sounds country, but Billboard booted it off their country charts. Still, Lil Nas X, Cyrus, and a big swath of the country love the song regardless of its genre and can’t stop lip-singing to it on social media. Today, The Nose hops on the “Old Town Road”. Plus, we cover the HBO series Barry. SNL alum Bill Hader co-created the series and he also stars, directs and writes the show. Hader plays Barry Berkman, a contract killer who is attempting to leave that life behind him while pursuing his new passion, acting. But he keeps killing people. This week the series was picked up for season three, so HBO definitely likes it. Today, the Nose takes on season two. Finally, we tackle Lucky Lee’s restaurant in New York.Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
