THIS WEEK: The ridiculous tobacco cupcake, Rachael Ray’s incredibly lame “outdoor vacation” show, Food Network’s potential NFNS screw up, Melissa d’Arabian’s show still sucks, Guy Fieri’s dressing room demands, a Food Network version of “Eff, Marry, Kill” – and a reading of Paula Deen’s tweets, y’all.

    This is my first time listening, I will have to go back and listen to the others.

    I found the recipe for the vegetables in a pot on the FN website:
    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/crudite-and-3-sauces-recipe/index.html

    Can’t wait to see what you post next!!

    Ok, I’m beamin’ with ignorance here. How do I get this on an iPhone? Any help, please!

    • Jeremy says:

      You can sync your iPhone like you do an iPod and get it on there via iTunes, or you can wait until it shows up in the iTunes store on your phone and download it directly.

    • Hang in there – We’re going to be releasing an app very soon, too. The app will let you get it on your iphones/ipods with just the touch of a button. I think we’re going to charge like a buck for it – and it will come with extra content every week. Proceeds will help us pay these blasted hosting fees.

  3. whoa nellie!
    eff marry kill.
    aye yi yi poor girls – that shit cracked me up.

    keep up the good work.

    Chuck’s day off is a Canadian show, I live in Canada, I watch the Canadian Food Network. I particularly don’t like him haha

  5. Robert says:

    I was much kinder in that voice mail than I remembered. Knowing that crazy cupcake lady was stalking Twitter for criticism makes me mad. Making an inedible cupcake is nothing to be proud of. Believe me, I’ve screwed up enough batches of them to know the proper reaction is shame.

  6. Brent-O says:

    That’s a rough Eff-Marry-Kill decision indeed. Good call on offing Bourdain. He gives me the creeps.

    Last week Michelle totally nailed the Guarnaschelli voice, but I think this week Jillian’s “Pauler” was better! Keep up the good work, girls. Fun podcast as always.

  7. Mac says:

    Chuck’s Day Off is on the Cooking Channel. He’s really hyper and annoying.

    I think it’s filmed in Montreal or something and he sounds like he has 10 accents all at once. It’s an impossible show to watch without feeling like you need to snort cocaine in order to keep up.

    • Chris says:

      I agree on the hyper. It’s like he starts a recipe and is finished in two seconds. I actually like his show though, and his food looks good.

    Jillian, Mr. Ferry was in yesterday’s 4th of July issue of Parade magazine in Walter Scott’s Personality Parade on page 2. It mentioned his bitchen Camaro:

    http://tinyurl.com/25c2d6k

    Yes, it is trailered. Last year, it racked up almost 125,000 miles!

    • Lana says:

      :-) I love hot cars, so here’s what I dug up.

      They rented several cars for the first few episodes, and Guy’s driven at least one of his own hot rods (Shelby Colbra) for a few of the northern CA episodes.

      They did rent a Woody for the Hawaii episodes, and rented a look-alike Camaro for the Alaska Christmas special.

      But other than that, yes. The regular car belongs to David Page, exec producer of DDD, and for the most part it’s trailered around. In fact, there’s one guy on the production team who’s job it is to trailer the car.

      Yeah. I know.
      ;-)

  9. Lisa says:

    this is my first listen! Great show girls!

  10. marisa says:

    did you see anthony bourdain in his yo gabba gabba tshirt on no reservations tonight?

    • atdleft says:

      I’m about to watch… I’m waiting for it to come on here in Vegasland. Bourdain can be a prickly jerk at times, but he IS a real chef and one learns plenty about real food when watching his shows.

  11. RobertGBP says:

    The food shows that’s a rip-off of Food Wars is called Feud Foods and it’s hosted by Michael Symon. I saw one episode on my guide and I’ve seen no other episodes listed.

  12. atdleft says:

    OK, I don’t like to talk about killing people. Still, let me say I disagree a little with your take in the podcast. Here’s my take on “F*ck-Marry-Kill”:

    - I wouldn’t kill him, but I’d have to dump Guy Fieri. He’s just too obnoxious, too creepy (as the “wannabe bad@ss” who just comes off as the dweeb who never made the in-crowd, and is still pissed about it), and he’s a “ticking timebomb” anyway who may be killing himself with his food habits.

    - I guess I’ll have to marry Bobby Flay. There have been many rumors about his personality (Is he a sweetheart? Or is he an @sshole?), but it’s pretty clear he doesn’t have a strong track record on relationships, so it probably wouldn’t last anyway. Now would I have to sign a pre-nup?

    - So that leaves Anthony Bourdain to f*ck. OK, I’ll admit it… I’d do him. He’s strangely sexy with his “F*ck you all, I’m eating this sh*t and I don’t give a damn what you have to say about it!” attitude. And again, he’s a real chef who doesn’t beat around the bush with his thoughts on the (lack of real) talent on Food Network. He can be a jerk at times, so I doubt it would be longer than a one weekend fling (he’d then likely dump me for another pound of young flesh).

    • cloverleaf says:

      Ditto, ditto, and ditto, ATD. I figure the marriage to Bobby would be short-lived but possibly tasty, and with my major crush on Tony, well, that is self-explanatory. LOL ;^)

  13. GreenJeans says:

    Great job. For the eff, marry or kill segment…when I heard the choices I immdiately thought buh-bye Guy. Your choices made sense but you could hear the pain in making those choices.

  14. Lana says:

    Love the podcast – again, my daughter and I listened to the whole thing. Remember The Waltons?, sitting around the radio after dinner … kinda like that, but without some cheesy “Powder Flake Laundry Soap” or “Crunchy Country Crackers” commercials. ;-)

    RE: Eff-Marry-Kill
    Eff Guy – very angry sex. Not sure he’d survive all the way through, but it’d be fun to watch him try.
    Marry – Bobby Flay. I mean, who’s gonna notice just one more ex Mrs. Flay? No one. Exactly.
    Kill Bourdain – and pretty much put us out of his misery.

  15. Syd says:

    Just hand me a razor blade. I’d rather kill myself than screw any of those three.

  16. kattydoo says:

    Love the podcast!

    When you said Ted Drewes – I almost shit. Best. Frozen. Custard. EVER.

    YOU MUST GET IT. I’m from STL, currently living in Indiana, and it is the ONE thing I crave more than anything. Their concretes are phenomenal – I love the Fox Treat. Raspberry, macadamia nuts, and fudge swirl. Yes – it’s amazing. Get it.

  17. Janelle says:

    I can’t believe you’ve never seen the veggies in a flowerpot RR episode–it seems like I’ve seen that one a thousand times! She chunks these vegetables up and crams them (and I mean, she CRAMS these poor things) into a big terracotta flowerpot like some demented Sandra Lee centerpiece. Then she makes three dipping sauces, I think two of which involve anchovies. *urp*

    So basically you’re supposed to yank a whole carrot with the top still on and swish it through a little bowl of sauce and then gnaw on it like a squirrel. Not my favorite way to eat crudites.

    I guess I’d marry Guy Fieri, because with all the shit he eats, he’s gotta either choke on a giant mouthful of diner food or pop an artery very soon. But then that means I’d either have to sleep with Bobby Flay or Anthony Bourdain…shudder…

  18. Len says:

    The podcast was hilarious, as usual!

    I wonder if the large number of “generic non-Rachael” shots in her travel show mean that she’s being phased out … George Duran’s shows had that same “look” before he disappeared from FN.

  19. derek4me says:

    I had to laugh when you guys were talking about Guy and his dressing room demands. I can only imagine his death breath. Think of the poor cooks and chefs on DDandD, and to make matters worse he’s a face talker.

  20. Scruffy says:

    Good stuff, yet again. It was the perfect length for a run. Okay, I’m no marathoner, don’t judge.

    I’m waiting for the perfect week to do a ranting voicemail about Ina. Saving it for when she does something especially ridiculous.

    And I left what I personally believe is the best review ever of the podcast on iTunes. 5 stars, of course.

    to help get this show on Zune, go here: http://social.zune.net/podcasts/ then at the lower left click Submit a Podcast (big pink button) and paste the feed URL: http://foodnetworkhumor.libsyn.com/rss

    iTunes can’t have all the fun!

  22. Hilofam says:

    Thanks for the podcast. My theory about the sudden appearance of RR’s husband with her on TV dates to the time when the tabloids reported that he was being unfaithful. After that, he awkwardly appeared at her side at any opportunity.

  23. oh_come_on says:

    Haven’t synced, downloaded, listened or Feedburned, but Melissa D’Bacon has added yet another absurd ‘tip’ to her already ridiculous repertoire*:
    ‘…never buy ice at full price, that’s my philosophy, it may be 2-for-1 or 50% off (same thing idiot girl!) but you have to buy 2 to get the sale price, but no worries, because IT FREEZES WELL…’ UNbelievable that this numbskull has 13 new shows. She’s trying to slow down her frantic chatter, and it’s hilarious b/c she loses her train of thought. Horrible, still horrible, always horrible. *Other famous tips: adding lemon will make things taste lemony and buying items on sale will save you money. Really?

  24. oh_come_on says:

    Typing too fast, should’ve been ICE CREAM at full price…
