It’s a real life “The Bear” this week with chef Iliana Regan. The author of “Burn This Place” joins the pod to talk about opening a fine dining restaurant with a limited budget, working in kitchens for free, and hosting underground dinner events and pop ups at their home to make a name for themself. How does someone who isn’t rich or connected open a restaurant? What’s going on behind the scenes? What makes a place successful or a “failure?”

Host of "Yo, Is This Racist?" Andrew Ti joins Gabe down a rabbit hole on whether right-wing or left-wing pundits and influencers make more money. Is a pivot hard right worth the money and fame? Why do people switch sides and how have the reasons changed over the years? Gabe has done the research: who are the biggest players? Why do right wingers get elevated to the top of the party while hard left creators are disavowed by the liberal party? This is a really great one to listen to pre-election!
