Speaker 1
So you've done how many dinnertime Netflix shows at this point? How many of you banked? And we should mention it broke you down physically within 20 episodes. You actually had that back surgery. This
Speaker 2
is true. It was your version of Kobayashi eating 83 hot dogs. So we started this project with Netflix as a sort of six episodic thing. It turned out to be 27. Along the way, I had to get disc replacement surgery. It's a high stress event. Tuesdays, 4 p.m. We're back on second season in October 8th. So you thought this was going to be six episodes. They're like, actually, we'll take 27. Actually, the one person that said that we're going to have many episodes was you. You're the one that said it was going to work. Well,
Speaker 1
I saw the studio. The show made sense. And you could tell Netflix was using you like some sort of weird guinea pig. They had no live stuff at all. And when you showed me the control room and there was this whole other wing of your studio and there was 50 people back there all figuring out the live, I was like, oh, I see what Netflix. So when like they announced the football thing, I wasn't surprised because it felt like you were the foot in the water to figure out how live would work on Netflix. It was the first thing they did,
Speaker 2
right? Um, I believe we were the first live series, uh, that wasn't sort of limited and certainly the first live cooking show. Yeah, sure. But
Speaker 1
it makes sense because if you're doing live, there has to be some sort of unpredictability to what you're watching. And with the cooking, which you hate, but it's actually good for the show, something might go wrong as you're cooking. I mean, for those listening, if you haven't watched the episode with Bill Simmons and Bert
Speaker 2
Kreishner, you should watch it.
