3 minTim recounts a chaotic food podcast recording with a host from The Sporkful, including a fake new talent agent call, a closed restaurant, and the host demanding he 're-do' natural reactions for the mic.
- 29:05A guy pulls up to the closed restaurant and immediately asks Tim to start recording instead of accepting the closure.
- 29:48Tim objects to doing a podcast scene again, saying it's not a reality show with a production crew.
- 30:09The Sporkful host keeps asking Tim to describe the scene while Tim loses patience over the simple fact that the restaurant is closed.
- 30:56Tim clarifies he likes the guy but questions the concept of keeping microphones on while eating to let listeners hear them chew clams.
- 31:29Tim acknowledges that audiences want to experience the meal through the host, though in practice it feels wacky.
