Early Summer Farmer's Market Report & Listener Feedback

**Jordan Okun** (0:06)
Mad Food, I'm Jordan Okun, Max is here. Jumbo Time Wine is the sponsor of Mad Jumbo, is the promo code 20% off, is the discount. If you love Mad Food, you'll understand the importance of being in the business of booze, whether it's a drinker, you know, you're at home, right? You gotta guzzle a bottle to the dome, right Max? Or share it. You can share a bottle? Is that enough for you though?

**Max Shapiro** (0:29)
Yes, it is.

**Jordan Okun** (0:30)
Are you sure?

**Max Shapiro** (0:31)
Yes. If I'm at home, I share a bottle with KB.

**Jordan Okun** (0:35)
But I feel like if everyone just starts taking a bottle to the head, we'll sell, you know, jumbo time, we'll sell more bottles. If people are drinking more, they gotta buy more alcohol. So everyone take a bottle to the head, but use promo code MADJUMBO for 20% off. Get those bottles a little lower, right? So you can afford more.
Being in the business of booze even better, right? They got the rose, say the Pino, they got that Riesling, all the blends really, right?

**Max Shapiro** (1:05)
Well, you know, if it's 100% Riesling, it's not a blend.

**Jordan Okun** (1:08)
Okay, right. California Natural Wine, I don't know if they have 100% Riesling, do they?

**Max Shapiro** (1:13)
They do. And the Pino Noir is 100% Pino Noir.

**Jordan Okun** (1:16)
Of course.

**Max Shapiro** (1:17)
The Rose is a blend.

**Jordan Okun** (1:19)
Of course it is. And of course MADJUMBO is the promo code. Okay, we got some feedback from topics from last week's Q&A's.
So I thought we would address some of the feedback that we got.

**Max Shapiro** (1:36)
Okay.

**Jordan Okun** (1:37)
From a couple of these answers that we gave.

**Max Shapiro** (1:39)
Okay.

**Jordan Okun** (1:40)
All right. It's a thankless job, Max. First, thank you, of course, to the asshole who forded our scarce thoughts to scars.
Right? Much appreciated.

**Max Shapiro** (1:55)
Thank you.

**Jordan Okun** (1:55)
Right off the bat. We'll just say that.

**Max Shapiro** (1:57)
Yeah. Okay.

**Jordan Okun** (1:57)
Thank you very much. Maybe they'll learn.

**Max Shapiro** (2:01)
I doubt it.

**Jordan Okun** (2:03)
That Sicilian, I don't think they'll learn on any of the other slices. It is what it is. That Sicilian, they could learn from and make better.

**Max Shapiro** (2:13)
Or remove from menu.

**Jordan Okun** (2:15)
No, I think they could just do it better.

**Max Shapiro** (2:18)
Yes, they could. Anyone could.

**Jordan Okun** (2:20)
Right.
Next, someone wrote in, What are you? Stupid? Cato made... Cato did make last year's 50 best restaurants in North America. Yes, we're stupid. Sorry.

**Max Shapiro** (2:33)
Yeah. I responded to that one. I said, we are in fact stupid. Thank you.
Yeah. Sorry. I don't remember everyone's placement every year. And sorry, Cato. I didn't realize that you were 26 And then for some reason, even though you're an objectively better restaurant than last year, plummeted to 49

**Jordan Okun** (2:52)
We don't respect the organization.

**Max Shapiro** (2:54)
Yeah.

**Jordan Okun** (2:55)
Sorry. We don't memorize every list from every year.

**Max Shapiro** (2:59)
Apologies that you got better. And then they demoted you.

**Jordan Okun** (3:02)
Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, listener. How about reaching out to 50 Best and calling them stupid?

**Max Shapiro** (3:07)
Yeah.

**Jordan Okun** (3:07)
For their rankings.

**Max Shapiro** (3:08)
Yeah. Sorry. I didn't remember.

**Jordan Okun** (3:10)
Which are objectively stupid.

**Max Shapiro** (3:12)
Thank you to the Burner account with five followers for calling us stupid.

**Jordan Okun** (3:17)
I wonder who that was. Yeah. Probably a big name chef.

**Max Shapiro** (3:20)
Probably.

**Jordan Okun** (3:21)
Right. No respect from this listener.
That is some way to talk to people. What are you, stupid?

**Max Shapiro** (3:28)
You could have just said, hey, by the way, Kato was 26 last year. Thought you should know.

**Jordan Okun** (3:34)
Right. They clearly hate us. Yeah.

**Max Shapiro** (3:37)
Stupid fucks.

**Jordan Okun** (3:39)
But they're listening.

**Max Shapiro** (3:41)
Yeah.

**Jordan Okun** (3:41)
And they're paying attention.

**Max Shapiro** (3:43)
Thank you for the hate listener.

**Jordan Okun** (3:44)
And they hate us.

**Max Shapiro** (3:45)
Yeah.

**Jordan Okun** (3:47)
What are you, stupid? That's one of the craziest things you could say to someone.

**Max Shapiro** (3:51)
Yeah. Oh, in my Hillstone piece, some guy said, what are you, retarded?

**Jordan Okun** (4:00)
These people, are they just trying to be funny?

**Max Shapiro** (4:03)
Oh, this guy was not trying to be funny.

**Jordan Okun** (4:05)
Like, we're so fabulously funny all the time, and they're just trying to keep up with us.
