The Top Chef talk begins abruptly at 21:45. So continue to live your life devoid of fun and skip ahead, or listen from the start for the good stuff.

This week it's just Jamal and Bryan and we've decided to tank this episode so that Reaves doesn't have to worry about the show being good without him. We also talked about Top Chef Season 19, Episode 7 "Swallow the Competition". Also Bryan learns that Bryce Dallas Howard is Ron Howard's daughter, Where'd Buddha get the gator?!, Jamal is still looking for his Now And Laters, and is Padma beginning to usurp Tom as head judge?

All of that and nothing else until you bring me $600,000 is unmarked bills in a suitcase at midnight on Gapstow Bridge in Central Park on this week's POD CHEF!

For all you skippers... the Top Chef talk starts at 21:40

This week the three amigos are joined by Bryan's good friend and one of the hosts of the Awesome Con worthy podcast "Two Guys Into Fridays- The TGIF Podcast": Stephen "Dash" Brown. Dash joins us to let us know what it feels like to be accepted into Awesome Con and helps us talk about our favorite tv show - Top Chef... Specifically Top Chef Season 19, Episode 6 "Trail Blaze-HERS".

We also have a lot of fun talking about corn ice cream, Jamal got to play basketball with Tom, Reaves actually said the words "Chris Gethard hates me, Bumblebee" - which is a joke that 10 people get, and we remind our fans where they can send any negative thoughts they have.

Make sure you check out Steve's podcast Two Guys Into Fridays - The TGIF Podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts. And be sure to follow them on Twitter for when you can see them at Awesome Con - https://twitter.com/tgifcast

All of that and nothings else until you TELL ME WHERE YOU'VE TAKEN HIM!, on this week's POD CHEF!

This week we're joined by close personal friend, returning guest, and honorary amigo quatro - Kevin Bartelt (Hollywood Handbook, Flagrant Ones, Teacher's Lounge... basically all your favorite podcasts)! Kevin helps us recap Top Chef Season 19, Episode 5 - "Don't Mess With BBQ".  Which we start chatting about at 37:45, but then you'd miss some great small talk with our guest!

Also... Jamal apologizes for giving Bryan a hard time about the editing after he failed to edit last week's episode, we get a confusing email from Awesome Con about our acceptance into their show, Bryan's audio is bad because he's a new uncle and in a hotel, and Chef Kevin shares a sandwich story...

All of that and nothing else unless you can prove to me that you aren't an undercover cop on this week's POD CHEF!

Special thanks to Kevin Bartelt for coming back on the pod. Check out Chef Kevin's website for all his going-ons - https://www.kevinbartelt.com

This week the three amigos are only dos as Bryan had to miss the record, but he edited the episode and wrote this blurb so it's sort of like he was there the whole time. Also Reaves and Jamal were joined by Daisy and Daffy, who from what I can gather from the episode are just random people they invited to be on the show? I don't know, but they seem fun. And at 32 minutes in I figured out they were doing a Doppelgänger, we'll be right back.

This week they watched Top Chef Season 19, Episode 4 and then they start talking about it at 33 minutes in.

They also discussed Tom's new venture into the world of NFTs  "CHFTY PIZZA" which would've been a solid bit if I was there, Jamal DIDN'T EAT DINNER!?!?!, they make a very quick trip into the writer's room, and in what I think was a Pod Chef first - they didn't talk about a single dish in the elimination challenge... truly we are... the Official Top Chef Podcast.

All of that and nothing more until you give us the antidote, on this week's POD CHEF!

Daisy and Daffy were played by Annie Barry (IG - @barryisscary, Bandit Theater, Big Fish Pacific Northwest) and Zahnae Aquino (IG - @zahahanae, This Show Will Make You Famous). Follow them on instagram and check out all the great stuff they are working on!

The Top Chef talk kicks off at 29:35 if you don't like it when we chop it up with each other.

This week we watched Top Chef Season 19, Episode 3 "Noodles and Rice and Everything Nice" and we talked about it with our friend Alex Kazanas (One Piece Podcast, Super Art Fight). But before we get a chance to settle in WE GET PROPELLED RIGHT in to the Elimination Challenge because Hung hates Quickfire Challenges! Also Alex teaches us what One Piece is (apparently it's not porno?), talk about Peter Jackson kind of a lot, and we ACTIVATE SLURP MODE!

All of that and nothing else unless you take back the curse you put on my family on this week's POD CHEF!

Though we don't recommend it, if you want to skip the first half of the show and go directly to the Top Chef talk, it starts at 35:40.

This week we watched Top Chef Season 19, Episode 2 "Friday Night Bites" and we didn't even talk about it... SIKE! We talked about it A LOT!  Especially that insanely complicated Elimination Challenge... AND LAST CHANCE KITCHEN IS BACK, SUCKA!

Also Tom gave us our report card for our last season via a recorded phone call. Then we do our best to de-escalate the brewing tensions between The Foot Clan and the Beehive, Reaves fucked up his dinner AGAIN!, and Jamal unveils a new segment!

All of that and nothing else until you tell us the location of the jade skull on this week's Pod Chef!

If you want to skip to the Top Chef re-watch talk, it starts at 28:40, but then you'd miss our Season 19 Predictions... So don't do it.

If you wanna skippa da good stuff, we start talking about Top Chef at 27:45!

Honestly, this episode is chaotic... so let's get awkward!

This week we REALLY DUG DEEP into everyone's favorite segment - "Chefs I Prepared For You" because we have all the time in the world. And then we talked about an episode of this show, maybe you've heard of it? It's called Top Chef, it's on Bravo. It was Top Chef Season 4, Episode 5 "High Steaks". It was fine. We also learned that Reaves was involved with the Challenger mission, Jamal doesn't think his food is boring, and Bryan has to leave early.

All of that and some words that end in -cal on this week's POD CHEF!

What's up peapods! This week we held our 2nd Annual Pod Chef Top Chef Fantasy Draft! We watched Top Chef Season 4, Episode 11 "Restaurant Wars" and then we talked about the parts we liked the best. We also venture back into the Writer's Room... Reaves reveals (alliteration) that he was the smoke monster on Lost, Jamal got to see white people hurt themselves for his belated birthday, and we welcome back our friend Alison Roman to YouTube. All of that two breaks for some reason on this week's POD CHEF!
