RFK and Kid Rock Strip Down for Workout Video & Kristi Noem Flies in a F**k Plane | Padma Lakshmi

This episode of *The Daily Show* opens with host Daisy Linden comically addressing recent news. It critiques an FCC campaign encouraging patriotic TV content, satirized through correspondent Jordan Klepper's over-the-top musical interruptions. The show then mocks RFK Jr.'s collaborative workout video with Kid Rock, highlighting its absurdity. Next, it ridicules JD Vance's description of a poorly conceived vegetarian dish, questioning his judgment. A segment on Kristi Noem alleges an affair and misuse of a taxpayer-funded jet for personal travel, framed as a scandal. Throughout, Klepper repeatedly interjects with forced patriotic antics, contrasting with the host's critical humor. After a break, a pre-recorded sketch humorously investigates the feasibility and necessity of human sex in space for species survival, featuring comedic experiments. The episode incorporates sponsor ads and ends with a preview of an upcoming guest interview, maintaining the show's signature blend of political satire and absurdist comedy.

This episode is brought to you by Ninja Lux Cafe, the three-in-one machine that makes a espresso, drip coffee, and cold brew. No worries to skills required. You're listening to Comedy Central! From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for new. This is The Daily Show with your host, Daisy Linden! [Applause] Welcome to The Daily Show! I'm Daisy Linden. We've had so much to talk about tonight. J.D. Vance shares the secret to an unhappy marriage. Kristi Nome joins the Mile High Club. If you think exercise is good for your mental health, then you haven't seen RFK Junior exercise. So let's get into it with another installment of The Worse Swing. What are buncha losers? Let's begin with Brendan Carr, FCC Chairman, and Hairless Wolf Blitzer. He's in charge of magnifying all the ways Americans communicate, whether it be radio, television, or whatever you're watching me on right now, probably an Instagram reel someone stole from TikTok. And he's got some exciting new ideas. The Federal Communications Commission is urging broadcasters to air more patriotic pro-America content. FCC Chair Brendan Carr launched the Voluntary Pledge America campaign Friday, which calls on stations to promote civil education, national pride, and shared history. This could be through the forms of history specials, daily Pledge of Allegiance recitals, the National Anthem, or music from American composers like Susa and Gershwin. Wow. They say TV is a dying medium, but way to attune in for our daily Pledge of Allegiance. Honey, did you watch the Pledge of Allegiance without me? No spoilers. Listen, if you want to make TV more patriotic, you don't need patriotic music. You need to figure out how to make traitors US as good as traitors UK. But you know what? In honor of America's birthday, we're willing to work with the administration to make TV just a little more patriotic. And in that spirit, let's get a little boost to patriotism with our very own Jordan Klepper. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whoa. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. (audience cheers) - Okay, so you get me this goes out to you, America. Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring! (audience cheers) Yeah! - Awesome! - Okay, thank you. - Oh, that's very good. That's good. Jordan, thank you Jordan. - Thank you Jordan. - Thank you Jordan. - Not done, not done. - Okay. (screams) (audience cheers) Now I'm done. (audience cheers) - That was great. Thank you Jordan. That was very American. - Yeah, thank you. - It's how the founding fathers would have celebrated if they were dope like me. - Sure. - Great, Jordan clap for everyone. - Yeah. (audience cheers) - Nothing says I love America like a bugle exploding. Anyway, let's move on to RFK Jr. Secretary of Health and World's Most Patient Zero. (audience laughs) After just one incredible year in charge of our nation's health, he's lowered our vaccination rates, boosted our measles outbreaks, and somehow infected the president with hand herpes. (audience cheers) But he is just getting started. - Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. teaming up with Kid Rock for what they're calling the Rock Out Workout. (upbeat music) (audience laughs) I have never seen a bigger gap between what I'm seeing and what I'm hearing. (audience laughs) The music says, "F*** the man," but the visuals say, "My doctor wants me to maintain my bone density." (audience laughs) You might be wondering, "Why are these two old men working out together in a swing or ski shell, but. " (audience laughs) Honestly, would you rather they were working out in your gym with you? (audience laughs) Don't worry about wiping down the machine. I welcome your probiotics. (audience laughs) I didn't even gross me out. Point is, it's a very gross video, but could it get grosser? (upbeat music) ♪ It's the soul of questions ♪ ♪ The woman and her ♪ (audience laughs) - Wait, have I been using the son of wrong? (audience laughs) I've just been sitting there giving hand jobs to strangers. (audience laughs) I have so many questions. One, why is there an exercise bike in the sauna? Two, who are you flipping off? And three, how fast can I sew up my vagina? (audience laughs) An arcade junior is doing all of this in jeans? (audience laughs) I really hope you wash those afterwards. ♪ Top of dancers ♪ ♪ Pick and the freeze ♪ ♪ Got a fast speed ♪ ♪ The jeans with the forties and the chicks ♪ ♪ With big ♪ That is not what I meant. (audience laughs) Oh my God, that water's like the Wuhan lab right now. (audience laughs) It's a good thing he's not vaccinated 'cause he could have turned out weird. But, okay, anyway, let's stop. This is too gross, we're done. No more clips, one more clip. ♪ It's out of the highly worst ♪ ♪ Pick up my hood from a girl ♪ ♪ This is on this foot ♪ ♪ I said, this is all good ♪ ♪ And it's on its bones ♪ ♪ They're getting the pants ♪ Okay, now this just looks like porn with the sex scenes cut out. (audience laughs) Hello, pool boy. Can I offer you a glass of lukewarm milk? And now to the sauna and to film. But if I can just be serious for a minute, the fact that a US cabinet secretary is putting out slop like this is such a disgrace to both himself and to us as a nation. (audience laughs) Jordan, quit. Jordan, I thought you were done. Oh, Patriot, it's never done. Whoa! (audience laughs) Look, I just thought things were getting a little bit too critical in here if you catch my drip. Time to get those patriotic vibes back. America, love it, we're leaving. (audience laughs) Pritch. Jordan, patriotism and criticism are not mutually exclusive to love your country is to criticize it to make it better for everyone. No, doesn't, you don't criticize the ones you love. You praise them, you encourage them. You don't get mad when they spend five grand on DJ equipment. No, you. You applaud their bravery in finding a new passion at 46. You know, that's the kind of support America needs right now, words of affirmation, even if those words are true, hit it. America, we want to be in that. (audience laughs) Okay, all right, fine, forget it. Jordan Clipper for the last time, everyone. (audience cheers) Let's move on. Let's move on to JD Vance, vice president and Pillsbury Proudboy. (audience laughs) JD and his wife, Usha Vance sat down with Lara Trump in a fun interview that was normal and relaxed. So let's see them be normal and relaxed. Well, JD, I have to ask you. (audience laughs) What the f*ck are you laughing at? All she said was, I have to ask you. (laughs) I love human interactions with normal humans. Sorry, I interrupted. What was the question? What is the best and worst dish that you ever cooked for your wife? So, it is just a vegetarian, I am not. I'm like, thinking to myself, what does a vegetarian eat? Okay, vegetables, dairy and bread. So I went to the grocery store. I got those crescent rolls that you can get. They're very good. I rolled them out like into a pizza shape and put vegetables and ranch dressing on top and stuck it in the oven for 30 minutes. (audience laughs) Veggies and ranch dressing baked on a crescent roll. And they say white people don't have culture. (audience laughs) Personally, I do think that there's a hopeful message here for men, no matter who you are, there is a woman out there that will look at you and say, I guess this is the best I can do. (audience laughs) But if I could just be serious for one moment, does someone who cooks ranch dressing have the judgment it takes to be one very irregular heartbeat away from the presidency? I mean, this raises some serious questions about (upbeat music) Jordan, come on, turn that off. No, no, no, you come on, Dezi. (audience laughs) The vibes in here are very, very negative right now. X-Day, X-Day on the itticism cray. I'm not even criticizing the government, I'm criticizing JD Vance's cooking. Let's roll with JD Vance's cooking, huh? I got some right here, look at this, huh? Oh. (audience laughs) Look at this good old-fashioned American pizza, JD Vance style, huh? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. (audience laughs) (audience laughs) That ranch is bubbling, huh? (audience laughs) Can't wait to have some good old-fashioned American diarrhea. (audience laughs) Those curtains do run! (audience laughs) Goodbye, Jordan. Goodbye. Finally, let's move on to Christy Nome, Secretary of Homeland Security, and Spirit Halloween's number one customer. (audience laughs) As head of DHS, Nome has a busy job starting wars in American cities, but somehow she seems to have found time for love. Oh, Wall Street Journal investigation is raising new questions about Nome's close relationship with her unofficial number two, Corey Lewandowski. The pair, who are both married to other people, have publicly denied the reports of an affair, but people said they do little to hide their relationship inside the department. Guys, finally, this administration has a sex scandal involving consenting adults. We did it! You were sick! You were sick! You were sick! You were sick! You were sick! But look, I know it's a bit unseemly, but I try to stay out of people's personal business. I mean, it's not like Kristian Corey are flying around on a taxpayer-funded (beep) line. Lewandowski, Nome, have lately been using a luxury 737 Max Jet with a private cabin in back for their travel around the country. Kristian Omen and Corey Lewandowski have had the taxpayers lease this jet for their use. (audience laughs) Okay, so they're flying around on a taxpayer-funded (beep) line. (audience laughs) How do they justify charging the country for their bang bus in the sky? On paper, they say they need this particular plane for, quote, "immigrant deportation flights." (audience laughs) Oh, yeah, I'm so sure this is the plane they're using to deport illegal immigrants. Hey, sit your ass down and put on these shackles and here's your hot towel. And we have a selection of wines for your enjoyment. (audience laughs) Can you imagine actually being deported on that plane and the whole time you're hearing Corey and Kristian Omen grunting in the back? (audience laughs) I'd be like, "Can this plane please hurry up and land in South Sudan already?" (audience laughs) By the way, it's not just the fancy plane that Nome is fussy about. During one official trip, people familiar with the incidents, they quote, "Nome had to switch planes after a maintenance issue was discovered, but her blanket wasn't moved to the second plane." Corey Lewandowski then fired a US Coast Guard pilot after Nome's blanket was left behind. (audience laughs) Wow, for a woman getting dicked down on the regular, she sure is tense. (audience laughs) I mean, you fired the pilot because you forgot your blanket? That's not the pilot's job. His job is to circle the airport until everyone in the back is then time to climax. (audience laughs) But I guess that's the end of that pilot's career. They eventually reinstated the pilot according to the journal because no one else was available to fly them home. (audience laughs) Oh my God, could this get any dumber? (audience laughs) Oh God, the only way this could get any dumber is I don't know, deporting 10 million people and then realizing that they were the ones who did all the hard jobs. And that's really what makes Kristi Nome so despicable. (audience laughs) - Jordan, no, turn it off. (audience laughs) Turn it off. - What the problem, Dezzy? (audience laughs) Getting a little too America-loving in here for you? (audience laughs) - How was Camp Town Races America-loving? (audience laughs) - I'm running out of public domain songs, okay? (audience laughs) Look, at least I'm trying. You didn't even start the show off with the Pledge of Allegiance. - I don't need to prove my patriotism by doing the Pledge of Allegiance, that's stupid. - That's because you don't know it. (audience laughs) - Of course I know it. I think you don't know it. - No, I know it. I just want you to do it first to prove that you know it. - Okay, fine. Fine. I Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. A Jay-Z song is on. (audience laughs) A Jay-Z song was on. (audience laughs) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a party in the USA, that's it. (audience cheers) - Are you kidding me? You (beep) nailed that. (audience laughs) - Yeah, I know. - Do you find it? - Such a fucking China. (audience laughs) - Jordi Clever, everyone. (audience cheers) When we come back, we find out how to have sex in space, so don't go.

There are many challenges to space travel, but one is especially hard to solve. Michael Costa has more. - Saturn, Mars, your butthole. These planets could be our future homes once we destroy Earth. But in order to be a successful interplanetary species, we must first learn about this vital need. Sex. But not just boring gravity-assisted sex. - Does that feel good? - I'm talking. - Space. - Space. - To understand the difference, I sat down with scientists Simon Dubet and Maria Santiguita, two sexy sexologists studying sex in space. - Before we start having sex in space, let me go over my ground rules. I don't have them. We're not going to have sex in space. - Wait, we're not gonna have sex in space. - Not today. - So I guess I'll just ask you questions and listen. Why is sex in space important? - Absence is not a viable solution if we intend to thrive and expand to the universe. - The future of human civilization depends on sex in space because there's many existential threat through our civilization, climate change, nuclear war, asteroids. - In other words, in case shit like this happens, we'll need to smash in space to keep our species going. - So there have been no official reports of human sex in space. - You're telling me, no one's ever joined a thousand mile high club as far as you know? - Or at least admit it to it. - Well send me up. I'm ready. When cost is up there, it's not gonna be Houston. We have a problem. It's gonna be Houston. We got a boner. (audience laughing) - And since they have no record of sex outside our planet, they conduct studies in space-like environments here on Earth, minus the actual space part. But lots of questions remain unanswered, which is why I was chosen for this interview because I'm not afraid to ask the hard-hitting questions. - How do you initiate foreplay if your partner keeps floating away? - I don't stimulate the G-spot in zero G, and also just in non-zero G, like in Earth. - How do you have sex with aliens? - Yeah, NASA can land on the moon. What happens if a condom breaks in orbit? Let's talk G-s. (dramatic music) Where does it go in space? - It can go everywhere. - It needs to be contained. So there's the possibilities of using condoms. - Isn't the whole point reproduction up there? - But people don't just have sex for reproduction. They also have sex for pleasure. This is what I'd tell my wife all the time. But how do you do the nasty outside our planet? One wrong thrust and you're spat into the abyss like an out-of-control fidget spinner. Luckily, there's a solution. - Okay, these are sex suits. These look more like doctor evil suits. - They are the two suits. - Is the two suit? - Yes. - Talk me through space intimacy in a two suit. - Step one, get consent. Simon, would you like to dock with me today? - You have my enthusiastic consent. - Step two, remove the front panel. - Oh my God. Nothing like the sweet soothing sounds of Velcro to get one of them in. - Step three, attach to your partner's torso. Step four, have a good time. - These sexy suits were cosmic thirst traps. - Oh my God, I'm feeling the energy already. - I was so turned on that I had to try this two suit for myself and volunteer my skills for science. - So step aside, Tom Hanks. You may have saved Apollo 13, but for the first time in recorded history, I'm gonna have sex in a space simulator. - One small ejaculation for man, one giant population of many costas for mankind. - Who's this lucky lady that's gonna make history with me? And maybe make babies. - Meet Judy. - Judy, what about like a real female human? I'll take her, come here. Come here Judy. It's time for Custod to put that ass in astronaut. - Oh, oh, oh, oh, Judy. Okay. Judy, how do you feel about chest hair? It's your preference? Awesome. I thought I'm hooking a bra with stuff, huh? (screams) - Yay! - We learned that we could maybe do some modifications to the zoo at some handles. - All right, Costa, you're going to put a condom on a banana. - You got a bigger one? - Okay, here we go. Holy shh. Okay, here's the condom. Here's the banana. Ha! It's on. - That's for science. - We mainly better candidates with stronger stomachs. - You might also need more respectful individuals with a sense of ethics. - I'm 69ing on the moon. - The next steps will be to test some of these experiments in zero G flights and orbital flights. - I did it. Judy's probably pregnant. I put a condom on a banana and I feel good about it. Sorry. (laughs) Next stop space. Whoo! I think I should myself too a little bit. - Thank you, Michael. When we come back, we have the last round of the party on the show. (cheering) As men reach their 30s, many begin to notice a significant shift in energy and drive. Statistics show that most men start losing to testosterone around age 30, decreasing by about 1% every year after that. This can lead to a feeling of moving through mud where workouts and daily tasks feel twice as hard as they used to. Often the issue is in production. It's accessibility. There's a protein called SHBG that essentially acts like handcuffs for testosterone. Even if the body is producing it, SHBG can lock it up so it cannot be used. It's like having money in the bank, but a debit card that doesn't work. Marsman is designed to help free that lock to testosterone so the body can actually utilize it. With eight natural clinically-dosed ingredients, including Tongaat Alley, Shiligit, and Boron, Marsman supports energy, focus, and stamina without synthetics. It's made in the USA, third party tested, and backed by a 90-day money-back guarantee. It's a natural way to support the body's usable testosterone levels as a part of a 2026 health reset.

[CHEERING] Welcome back to the TV show. I guess tonight is an Emmy-nominated host, executive producer, and the creator of the new CBS series, America's Culinary Cup. Please welcome Padma Lakshmi! [MUSIC PLAYING] [CHEERING] Hi, everybody. Hi, everybody. [CHEERING] Hi. Hi. Hi. What a great audience. I know. They're pretty good, right? I make a girl feel good. Yeah. Well, you deserve it. We are thrilled to have you here. Thank you so much for being here. And congratulations on the new show. I'm very excited. Yeah, you should be. Super excited. I didn't think I would go back to the genre. But then, you know, I got an offer. I couldn't refuse. And that was to create something exactly how I wanted it. And as you can imagine, I had a few ideas about what I wouldn't do after so many years. As you should. As you should-- how does it feel to have objectively the coolest job on the planet? I think your job is pretty cool. It feels great. Look, I'm lucky. I get to eat. I get to sit on my ass and talk about food, which I do. I would do for cream. You know, I don't-- I have a cooking show. I don't even have to cook. That's the beginning of the show. And like you said, you built this from the ground up. You created it. You're executive producing. You're hosting. What was it that you wanted to do differently this time? I just thought the genre was ready for a refresh. I mean, you don't really see it in that clip, because it's hard to explain the show in a little clip like that. Because it doesn't have a format. It has no format. So it's really hard to explain to people. But it is like live-action sports. But instead of balls and bats, we have fire and knives. So it's-- Now you're talking. I'm your girl. I'm your girl for that. But-- [APPLAUSE] I know what you're into now. Yeah. No, but like-- OK, so it's basically getting rid of all of the obstacles and the tricks and all of that. Like in most reality shows, especially cooking shows, you throw obstacles at them. You give them shitty products, or you make them fight for the oven or whatever. They're running around. No, I really wanted the best or the best. And I wanted it to be like the Olympics or the Wimbledon of cooking. Right? So I give everybody everything they need. There's every tour you can imagine. Each chef has their own station with six burners and oven underneath. They have every ingredient that is very, very high level restaurant ingredients. So they're not wanting for anything. I mean, the comparison that I kind of make is if you're going to go to Wimbledon and ask arena Williams to come there, right? You're not going to give her a shitty racket. This is true. And you're not going to have her fight for that racket with her opponent. You're going to manicure that court, make sure everything is perfect because she really is the goat. So we have the finest chefs. Because also we're giving away a million bucks. Yeah. And the prize is not she having. So that's never been done before. No, not even-- I think half is what's the biggest so far. But yeah, we're giving away a million dollars because I didn't want to be the little poor sister on TV. And so the boys have a million dollars for their shows. So I wanted a million dollars for whoever won. And a million dollars means a lot of people out of the woodwork. Oh, I bet. Yeah. And so even the set is designed differently. There's no big lights or neon or anything. It looks like a working high-end kitchen. It's not even rectangle, like most kitchens, or rectilinear, or like a proscenium stage. It doesn't look like a shiny floor game show. It is oval because people are more creative when there are rounder shapes. It turns out-- Oh. --and more focused. And so I did everything I could to support them. I mean, chefs have had a really hard time since pandemic-- We've all seen the bear. We know. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's very stressful. Exactly. So I wanted to do everything I could to give them everything they need to succeed. And so that's what we've done. Now, I don't want you to spoil anything. But do we have to give President Trump the cup at the end? No. All right. I wrote not. No. You know, he has a way of doing that. Believe me, I know. It's going to be Trump's American color and Eric up pretty soon. But I hope not. Don't say those words. Let's hope not. Give us something. Give us our cooking shows at least. No, no, no. I don't want this to happen. I was watching the clips that you put up. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, there's so many reasons to hate JD Vance. I didn't think we needed a culinary one. And then he goes and puts things in there dressing. But it's so bad. And also, he's married an Indian woman. So she comes from this very deep, vast culinary tradition. And he's giving her, what was it, ranch dress and base? Ranch dress. Baked in the oven on a crescent wall. Also, she's a vegetarian. She only eats bread, vegetables, and dairy. And apparently, we have been married to this person for over a decade. And we eat lots of things, right? Rice, lentils, beans, squash, all this stuff. It's like-- but maybe he knows what she likes, because she doesn't really have good tastes. This is-- [CHEERING] [APPLAUSE] My job here is done. What is-- speaking of that, what's the worst thing that a partner has ever made for you? It can't be worse than that. No. I would not have them back into my bed. Yeah. I would prefer they not cook, actually. Well, it wasn't really what they cooked. It was how they brought it to me in bed. Oh. Yeah. It's normally that sounds like a good thing. Right. I mean, anything's better in bed, right? But they brought me a cup of tea. And my kitchen is downstairs. My bedroom is upstairs. And literally, if they had committed a crime, I would have caught them, because there is a trail of drops of tea all the way up to my bed. And then the next morning, I went downstairs. And it was sticky. There were drops of honey. And you can tell a lot about a chef, by the way, they cook and how clean they are. Uh-huh. But that's true of men, too. Oh. And glad he's no longer in your life. Get him out of there. Yeah, he's not there anymore. Um. [LAUGHTER] You know who you are. You know who you are. [APPLAUSE] As someone who's traveled the country and judged thousands of challenges, what do you think makes the quintessential American dish? It's a great question. So none of the things we think of as an American dish are American. Not hot dogs, not hamburgers, not even apple pie. Oh, my God. I say, like, as American as apple pie, not one ingredient in apple pie is actually indigenous to North America. Not even the apples, not the flour, not the cinnamon, nothing. But if you're talking about American food, you're talking about elk, venison, rabbit, as far as protein, beans, corn, squash, sumac, right? All these wonderful things. And we ate all kinds of things before America was colonized. And we brought cattle and chicken and all that stuff. And they didn't eat pork. They didn't have lard. All these things. But they did have a lot of wonderful berries. And depending on where you are in the country, different things. Right. What about beef tallow? RFK is big on beef tallow. It's obviously not working on his skin. He's not applying it topically because look at him. He looks like a leathery boot. Yeah. You know? And why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Would you work out in jeans? That tight. That tight. And then why are you going in a tub in jeans? In jeans? They're tight enough. You don't need them wet. And then he walks around, shuffles around with wet jeans for the rest of the day. And then the milk. And then the thing I want when I'm in a hot tub is like a coal glass of milk? Yeah. No. No. I am right there with you. I mean, we could go on all day about that. But I'm getting nauseous. Ginger, ginger's good for you. Ginger, OK, thank you. I'll put some in my tea water. Put that over there. You're so much of your life's work has been dedicated to living and celebrating and exploring the multicultural experience, the immigrant experience. You see what's happening in this country right now. Immigrants are very much under threat. How are you processing all of this right now? Well, personally and in terms of the work that you do. It's really difficult. I mean, I'm an American citizen. I have been for a long time. But you never know. They're rounding up and harassing American citizens, too. It's a very scary time. And I just think it's ill-advised. Never mind the ethics of it or the morality of it. But it's actually stupid. Here's why. Every generation of immigrants has helped further the economy and the evolution of this country. This country amongst all the countries in the world is uniquely formed and a superpower because of immigrant input. You know, the best of the best for America. [APPLAUSE] And you see farmers crying in their field who even voted for the asshole and twice. And I have no one to pick my carrots because they're too scared to come to work. Seriously, right. I mean, I'm sorry about that. I don't want non-centred to buy your family farm. But that's what happens. We don't realize how much-- I mean, the food system, especially, but restaurants, agriculture, moving that food and distributing it, all of that stuff. But the whole economy, name any sector of our culture-- health, education, sports, music, anything. What would it be without any influence of any immigrant? Work would stop. Work would stop. Completely. Our country would come to a standstill. And that's what they're going to realize. Who's going to do all this? That's right. That's exactly right. I can't let you go without asking you something. And this is, forgive me for the hard-hitting question. OK. All right. But you are a self-proclaimed bed eater. Oh, yes. And I myself love a good pizza in bed. I love anything in bed. Yeah. So I want to know, what is the weirdest thing that you've ever eaten in bed? And get your minds out of the gutter. This is not-- this is not a sex question, unless you want it to be. And then it can be. The weirdest thing-- the hardest thing to eat in bed. Oh, boy. Really is anything with a lot of crumbs. So I constantly am dusting off cracker crumbs, cookie crumbs, all of that. And then you try-- I try not to drink red wine or eat pomegranate or blackberries or raspberries because they're stain. Yes. So I love frozen grapes. And I especially love frozen grapes in bed. But you want to use the green seedless kind, not the red or black grapes, because those will stain your sheets. OK. Are we writing this down? Are we writing? So your next cookbook will just be Meals in Bed. Yes. Exactly. Meals on a trend. Meals on a trend. Meals on a trend. I love it. Thank you so much. Nice to meet you. Congratulations. Congratulations. Welcome back to me, you. America's culinary cup premieres March 4 on CBS. Padma Lakshmi.
