Chapter 1: Who is José Andrés and what is his background?

144.525 - 152.91 José Andrés

It feels like it's a lot of steakhouses. A lot of steakhouses, yeah. Not a lot of great ones, though. A lot of women.

0

152.93 - 154.491 Unknown

Overall, it's good.

0

154.551 - 159.314 José Andrés

I'm not going to be the one saying it. You can. I'm not going to be the one.

0

159.334 - 160.175 José Andrés

There's a couple of good ones.

0

160.555 - 173.56 José Andrés

I'm not going to be. I mean, listen, it's a great chef. My friend Tom Colicchio has one. What's that one? You don't even know that. It's so many casinos. I don't know. But Tom Colicchio, the chef, wow, you know everything. Yeah, that's the one we've been to at MGM.

173.64 - 179.902 José Andrés

Oh, that one's great. Tom is a great guy. What is it called? Craft Steak? Craft is a craft one.

179.922 - 190.072 José Andrés

I think Wolf and Pack has another one. Anyway, it's many other ones with names, with chefs behind, with no chefs. Yeah. Big name chefs. I like Cleaver's great.

190.252 - 192.435 José Andrés

It's off the strip. I should go.

192.855 - 202.092 José Andrés

Very good. Yeah, people... This is good you mentioned that because when we go to Vegas... We stay in the casinos, and we go to the casinos, hotels, and that's it.

Chapter 2: What inspired José to start Bazaar Meat?

1062.631 - 1068.672 José Andrés

Yeah, on that I feel I'm more in your club. I think the best university is the university of life.

0

1068.892 - 1091.996 José Andrés

Yes. As long as you're really engaging. As long as you're really doing something and really challenging yourself and really applying yourself to something. That's, yeah, I agree with you. And, you know, you have to have a lot of, I think the more interest you have, the more things you're fascinated by, the broader your understanding of human beings will be and the better your life will be.

0

1094.537 - 1118.054 José Andrés

Yeah, and engaging. Yes, engaging. I know lately I've been... you know, taking the taxi ride or the Uber ride. I drive myself sometimes, but I'm realizing, for example, the most fascinating moment is when I go back to use the subway. It's just... And just talk to people.

0

1118.534 - 1119.194 Unknown

It's just great.

0

1119.314 - 1143.849 José Andrés

Or see people, people watch. Well, I mean, in your case, everybody will recognize you. In my case, yeah, people may recognize me too, obviously in D.C., New York. And then things happen. So you have to engage for all these things of education, as you said, to happen. Because, yeah, it's the only way things happen. I mean, you know, I have this new book.

1144.049 - 1168.923 José Andrés

This is another commercial, Change the Recipe, which I'm touring right now. And I say one of the quotes I give is very important to me. I mean, it's a phrase probably you heard often many times before that life starts at the end of your comfort zone. You and I were talking about education. That means that the true education happens at the end of your comfort zone. Right.

1169.544 - 1197.928 José Andrés

Because if you are not pushed to the limits... What it is is what it is and that's it. You don't need to know anything else. You don't need to learn anything else. You're in a safe space. You're in your cube. You're in your room. Everybody's protecting you and the system protects you and you are okay. The only thing, the only moment will become interesting is when you leave that room of comfort.

1199.088 - 1208.575 José Andrés

You go to the edges of that horizon And you cross that line of the horizon. That's the moment that life gets really interesting.

1209.015 - 1234.657 José Andrés

Yes. Yeah, I agree. I think just a lot of people that don't have experience challenging themselves, they get fearful. They get fearful. They anticipate things. They get anxiety. And they just never learned how to challenge themselves. That's the problem. They never walked out on the end of the pier. so to speak. They never push themselves. And because of that, they're terrified of it.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of food in our lives?

3667.137 - 3672.222 José Andrés

Oh, yeah. I think we're just little babies, and they're not ready to let us know yet.

0

3672.862 - 3676.244 José Andrés

That's what I think. I'm sure they're trying. Some of them, I think.

0

3676.264 - 3692.813 José Andrés

They're trying to contact others like we are. I think some of them have been here. I had a guy on yesterday. His name is Hal Puthoff. He's a physicist that's been working with the government with this stuff forever. He said they have 10 retrieved crafts that are of non-human intelligence, 10 that the United States is in possession of.

0

3693.253 - 3706.033 José Andrés

And he said during the Bush administration, during George Bush's administration, they were contemplating disclosure to the American people And they wanted to get all these physicists and scientists and psychologists involved.

0

3706.877 - 3727.845 José Andrés

to make a list of things that would be negatively impacted by disclosure and things that would be positively impact by disclosure and give them a numerical value, like a zero to 10 value. And when they calculated it all up at the end of the day, the cons outweighed the pros and they decided not to disclose.

3728.265 - 3746.946 José Andrés

So during the Bush administration, during George Bush's administration, during 9-11, during that time, that time period, They were contemplating – this is 2004. They were contemplating having disclosure and releasing to people the fact that we are in possession of non-human intelligent crafts.

3747.607 - 3771.816 José Andrés

They have recovered biological entities, meaning beings from another planet that are preserved that we have and that non-human crafts are visiting this planet. Or might not even be visiting. They might actually be here. They might have bases in the ocean. They might have bases somewhere in the mountains. But that this is a real thing. So he started working on this in 2004.

3772.897 - 3780.919 José Andrés

And he's, you know, 100% convinced that we're not alone. There's been movies about it. This is... How do you call it? Some 51. Area 51.

3780.959 - 3819.929 José Andrés

Area 51. Listen... Nothing will give me more joy. As a young boy, I always thought, man, could I be the guy that finds E.T.? It wouldn't be cool. And especially if scenes is a good alien species that is an alien species of goodness. Imagine it's a science fiction movie and planets like us is part of... Yeah, let's say they're here. And let's say that all the...
