Lost Was Delicious w/ Steve McHale

Delishees, Jon is feasting on food, pop culture, and lifestyle with US Marine Corps veteran, meditation & mindset teacher, & host of “The Chaos Alchemist” podcast Steve McHale! FOOD: Jon & Steve bond over their love of chicken tikka masala and its many varieties. Whether it be spicy, mild, tomato, or mango flavored, it’s all delicious! They also don’t forget a classic Indian dish: butter chicken, basmati rice, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. Steve paints a great taste picture for Jon of the cucumber, cilantro, carrots, & more involved in a Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich. Speaking of cilantro, Jon & Steve get into how some people find it soapy tasting. Not surprisingly, Jon doesn’t know what aioli is, but he does know that roasted brussel sprouts taste much better than steamed. POP CULTURE: Steve is rewatching the 2000’s JJ Abrams/ABC television drama “Lost” with his son and discusses iconic storylines like Jack’s father getting Claire Littleton pregnant, the smoke monster, the “others”, the time travel, the kids who became the soul of the island, and the very divisive series finale. Jon & Steve also note how the 2007-2008 Hollywood writers strike might’ve affected the trajectory of the show’s writing. LIFESTYLE: Steve is thrilled to have found the perfect hire at his pipe fitting job, he explains to Jon why Marines are nicknamed “Jarhead”, “Devil Dog”, “Leather Neck”, and “Crayon Eater”. Steve actually ate five crayons for a fundraiser! Finally, Steve shares how meditation saved him from being another veteran statistic, how meditation is like looking at a bonfire, how eating a strawberry can count as meditation, and the common issue of giving grace to thoughts when first learning how to meditate. ____________________________________________________________Follow/like/subscribe/share, leave a review on Apple Podcasts & a five star rating on Spotify!IG:⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/@thedeliciousculture⁠⁠⁠TIKTOK:⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thedeliciouscultureYT: The Delicious Culture with Jon Francois - YouTube⁠⁠_____________________________________________________________ABOUT "THE DELICIOUS CULTURE"- What'a delicious meal you've had?
