Gayle King and LeeAnn pulled up to the kitchen island in Miami -- and this one goes everywhere in the best way possible. Fear and fame, space travel, Whitney Houston… you know, the kinds of stories that somehow only come out when there’s food on the table. While I tried to keep dinner from going sideways, we talked about music, marriage, and Gayle makes a phone call that changed my life. It’s loose, chaotic, and exactly the kind of hang I love.

I’m cooking for two people who actually know what they’re doing in the kitchen, so obviously I make chicken schnitzel with an apple fennel salad and a blue cheese olive tapenade thing that somehow really worked. We get into everything from Food Network and travel shows to burger trends, bread options and Andrew has me fully spiraling about salmonella. This one is chaotic, super food nerdy, and one of my favorite hangs in a while.

I’ve got Diplo and Rocco DiSpirito on Something’s Burning, and somehow, we cover everything from DJs going to work at 8AM to why my Target knives are apparently unacceptable. Diplo talks Daytona, Ibiza, running, country music, and his failed Travel Channel pilot, while Rocco brings actual chef energy into the room. Food, chaos, fitness trauma, and me telling a story about almost drowning in a triathlon — it’s a full chaos episode with food on the table, stories everywhere, and me trying to figure out who actually has the best job.

Chad Ochocinco and Rick Ross welcome me to Miami with one of the funniest, most Florida conversations we’ve ever had on Something’s Burning. Ocho orders McDonald’s while I’m cooking, Rick tells the story behind “Hustlin’,” we get into Miami comedy clubs, 2 Live Crew, Trick Daddy, football, business, cigars, and I make lemon pepper carbonara, a flavor introduced to m

This week on Something’s Burning, I’m hanging with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN from Drink Champs while making a Colombian fish stew. We talk about the DMX interview that almost didn’t happen, the power of podcasting, viral comedy moments, Rick Ross never breaking character, and why every great career needs a little bit of luck.

Noga Erez and Ori Rousso hang out with me while I make a kugel, roast some cauliflower and ask every dumb American question I can think of about Israel. We talk kosher food, awkward hugs, drunk alter egos, comedy as a love language, and why Tel Aviv food might ruin everywhere else. We also deep dive how their music somehow hits hip-hop, EDM, R&B, and Radiohead all at once.

Cameron Whitcomb and Evan Honer come by the kitchen while I attempt crab Rangoon burritos and we chat about everything from American Idol to Travis Barker, pipeline jobs, diving and Canadian coffee lore. We also touch on sobriety and how two young alt-country guys are figuring out fame without completely losing their minds.

David Wain and Ken Marino come by the kitchen and I immediately lose my mind over their new movie, it’s THAT good. I also make some Sri Lankan lobster while we do a full-on comedy nerd breakdown on about The State, Wet Hot American Summer, and why nobody writes comedy like this anymore.

I’ve got Nigel Ng, AKA Uncle Roger, and Jimmy O Yang and for some insane reason I decided to cook Uncle Roger’s famous fried rice from his new cookbook. We talk Asian algorithms, Jamie Oliver, wet markets, Midwest sports culture, and why white guys have unshakable confidence. We also cover gout drinks, Genghis Khan, and colonialism. It’s a real spectrum of topics…

Punk legends Fat Mike and El Hefe, of NOFX fame, come by the kitchen and I immediately fan-girl out on them and their new documentary. We talk about the final tour, the pressure of playing the same songs for 40 years, the weird beauty of self-deprecation, and what it means to actually be punk. There are coke stories, Bad News Bears lies, and a song about how no one can pronounce my last name..

Jordan Jensen and Ian Fidance, from their podcast Bein’ Ian with Jordan, come by the kitchen where I surprise Ian with the only surviving artifact from the bus fire. We also talk about my questionable method for stopping panic attacks, whether comedians hooking up with fans is a me-too offense, getting kicked off swim team and the anchovy bone that nearly killed me at a Travel Channel dinner. And all this while I make enough Loco Moco to feed an army.

The guys from Are You Garbage come over for fried chicken livers and giant mortadella sandwiches with fresh pesto, Calabrese peppers, and some seriously old sourdough. We talk about the reality-show moment that almost ended my career, using fame to get Tom Segura into the ER, and why Paul Reiser hated their questions. Then we pitch an Are You Garbage movie set inside IKEA and somehow commit to a $10,000 international candy taste test.

I’ve been listening to Mt. Joy nonstop these days, so having the band in the kitchen is a dream come true. We get into the real stories behind “Jenny Jenkins” and “Lucy,” our shared love of Passion of the Christ, and somehow try to FaceTime Aaron Rodgers while talking about Dave Matthews. I make marinated chicken thighs over feta with risotto and broccolini, then Mt. Joy breaks out the instruments and plays “Astrovan” and “Lucy” live.

As one of the BIGGEST KISS fans of all time, I can’t help but fanboy out to Nick Simmons and Evan Stanley about their dads… We talk about what’s it’s really like growing up with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, being nepo babies, starting their own bands and why fans apparently forgot how insane rock stars used to dress. I also relive my hilariously terrible first interaction with Gene - and how I eventually got the apology I never thought I needed. And, all while I make coffee-crusted ribeyes with whipped feta and beets.

The ladies from #IMOMSOHARD come by and turn my kitchen into group therapy with a guest appearance by LeeAnn. We talk mom bods, raising teenagers, plastic surgery, and the anxiety that shows up when your brain decides nighttime is the perfect time to ruin your life. Plus, I try my hand at Nebraska Runzas with beer cheese and a corn salad – and somehow absolutely crush them. This episode just proves my point that women are the funniest people on the planet.

I’ve got one of my new favorite bands, The Bends, hanging out in the kitchen… These guys went from LSU frat parties to full blown rock stars by graduation. We talk about writing music, rock influences, and write some pretty awesome, off-the-cuff love songs. I make hot chicken biscuit sandwiches, we drink Garage Beer, spew out Taylor Swift lyrics - and plan out their future millionaire lifestyles. Plus I get a little live show at the end…

This time, I’m in my NYC kitchen with two of my buddies: Mark Normand and Keith Robinson. Keith tells us the INSANE story of having a stroke while on Viagra and why he decided getting laid was more important than going to the hospital. We get into the golden days of New York comedy, debate which comedians Patrice O’Neal would love or absolutely destroy today, and hear how Keith helped Kevin Hart get his start. Mark also talks about his trans nanny while I make blackened salmon and shrimp with some delicious sides. I love NYC!
