Jason Biggs Loves Pie (MBMBAM 725)

uh you know the back to school doldrums can affect everybody differently got me low uh got me low but I have been looking for a pickme up to celebrate the fact that I have to wake up so early again and Sid I found a great one I just want to recommend it to everybody it's called the Blue Ribbon baking Championship now that's interesting why that sounds a lot like the other one so it is it's ours it's our American one oh well that's funny that's also funny cuz we we tried that once yeah we've tried it many times actually but this is our American one and it's celebrating fair food it's bringing us to the fair okay can I tell you just before we get into it i' like to okay I know but just as a huge fan of Great British Bake Off right and like Teresa and I do a podcast about it like I've seen every right and I in general I think uh British reality competition things have this like Comey kind of tenderness to them that anytime America has tried to be like and we're going to do our version of it they're like and this time if you fail we're going to ruin your credit score and if you win you get a million dollars and here's some explosions and big lights they can't do this down homy Thing Justin so Blue Ribbon okay so Blue Ribbon fair food fair food um you're gonna get such you're G to have such a hoot about um one of the hosts it's Sandra Lee remember semi homemade with Sandra Le don't do you remember don't is this whole bit only going to be funny if I know who that is no she is a um she is had a show called semi homemade where she would like take a bunch of different uh like products from the grocery store that you could just like buy and then like here's how you could like spice it up oh make it them like you put the work in but then there's another host of the show huh it's not just sandel you got to have a a SB in there yeah and so here's the other host of the show I'm just sharing a a still from the show it's Sandra Lee and Jason bigs Jason bigs now that's funny can I talk about third funny thing about this story in this image Justin is that ribbon photoshots no that's the actual prize that you win is a gigantic Blue Ribbon the size of a gladiator shield shield sized ribbon so it's interesting because like I couldn't I couldn't quite figure it out cuz when Sydney and I saw that Jason bigs was hosting this program we thought well isn't that funny because if you'll remember he was very notably in the American Pie movies oh yeah he placed his genitals in the pastry if you were to if you were to ask me to word associate Jason bigs on the topic of baked goods yeah then I would go directly to [ __ ] them now what I sorry making love now now Mr Bigs uh does a great job he's great at this job he is a natural fit he's uh convivial he's like whatever but dang it man those Netflix folks keep making him wink at the camera about the pie humped and it's just not very nice because I thought it was going to be kind of an underlying thing cuz the movies were like American Pie but then he's like that looks like like in the intro Secrets he's like that looks like some pretty good pie Barrel the camera and I know I know what makes a goodie I know and I know a good pie see look I'd watch every episode of this television show if they never addressed it they never and you're just waiting for the shoe the shoe to drop and dropping little hints like Jason bigs episode one tasting aie like the texture of this one is feels pleasing to the tongue but like didn't reference it the whole refence not just not just not reference it but set up like they like somebody serves an apple pie and he's like oh you know what that reminds me of ice cream right and it's just like it keeps seeming like this they're going to have to they're going to have to say it now they must he's got he's got to it's like uh the entire uh Twin Peaks the return like certainly about to this is going to be the beginning of it right but no reference it no not yet event like i' [ __ ] that pie and they like what wait hold on hold on the other judges are like very prestigious one of them was the pastry shift for uh the the the White House and so they had to have a meeting where they're like so how did you all get the gig and Jason big Jason bigs has to be like well fun story about me here's like a ice break let's play Let's play two Truth at a lie okay um the other very good version of this is that no other hosts and maybe contestants know about the offending picture with Jason bigs in it so when he's like this is like the movie in which I had sex with a pie they' be like what are you talk like Saving Silverman was it a leaked video or something was did someone C no no no disg I Jason bigs didn't my character a character I played a character I played co-starring Eugene Levy huh everyone loves him now right we love Eugene I wish Eugene Levy was the host and people things does a really good job no but if Eugene Levy was the host then the then the tangential nature of the connection to the American Pie movie which I think also make for some great situations of like oh good pie huh just like in the movie you were in once and your son did it are you saying there's a reality in which the producers had absolutely no clue they this young man we huge on this one guy Jason bigs an unknown came into to us and he just had a great energy we're wild about him for our cherry pie show let's take it away do you think maybe they sold it to Jason bigs where he's like guys I I can't do this show about baking because of the thing and they're like no no no Jason our plan is there's going to be so many pies in this show that you don't [ __ ] that it's going to cancel out it's going to change your whole reputation yes yeah this would be like if I did a like a a a YouTube streaming explainer series on the history of bananas yeah and then people would sort of start change I would change the narrative a little bit there would be so many many bananas Griffin could have bitten into it's just guys it's just that Mr Bigs what I wasn't ready for is he's just such a [ __ ] little stinker about it like that's he is he is fully owning the fact like yeah we all did a lot of things didn't we back in our 20s I mine was in a movie yeah right it's a character not even my actions again do you think he was but like yeah he's not now he's a total stinker about it like every pie he walks past he puts a finger in it like not quite ready and like Jason this I wouldn't finish in this this couldn't make me finish stick your finger in fresh out of the oven ow it's hot why is it like that are you trying to burn my penis and balls off he has a very original judging method that brings a real energy to the let's just put it this way SRA Lee has to be completely done she has to be completely done there must been a production meeting with all the contestants where they sat down and they're like has everyone here seen American Pie and like because it's gonna come guys it's gonna come up before you all come back to set tomorrow we need y'all to go home and watch at least the first one maybe multiple ones because in fact I'm GNA you Google get on YouTube find the offending there's really just one scene where he [ __ ] the pie a lot of people don't talk about that a lot of grosser stuff happens in those movies he feeds his dad his own pubes that's grosser to me but it's not called American pubes it's not called American pubes that's interesting not here but in the is called American P presents American pubes um American Graffiti American Pie presents American Graffiti American pubes presents American gra graffiti uh no but it's uh it's what kind of fair food are we talking are we talking like fried s'mores like how nasty are they getting uh the we're talking about like stuff on a like the very first challenge is stuff on a stick that shouldn't be on a stick love that love that I want them to I want them to exclusively cook up things that PR would not eat with her worst this is what saying just let them cook stuff they're good at I don't I just feel like I know we're not taste makers but it does feel like media is increasingly making choices that are geared towards you know what would [ __ ] bust a ma Brothers up what if we let Jason big a pie show like that would Delight them personally like it just feels very targeted yeah little something for everybody can we just hang out with Jason bigs I don't know him what if stiffler's mom's the other host she's having a huge Renaissance right now I'm kind of realizing right now I don't know enough about American Pie the movie The Griffin apparently know what do you want to know huh okay Griffin tell me the what's the culminating event of American Pie the first like what's the what's the Dan Mo of American Pie the first one what's the big plot twist at the end well um I think that stiffler's Mom has has a sort of erotic rendevu with one of the guys and then it's sort of used as a a shift in the power dynamics in this largely male friend group okay and it's all about sort of their struggles to navigate that it's obviously a huge breach of trust when that one guy hooked up with stiffler's Mom now that is notable it is notable the American P franch American P first one is notable for both the introduction to the broader populace of Jennifer kulage as tier's Mom and also the term mil yeah P it's a Landmark thank you to American Pie and to Justin for clarifying that for us in our audience thank you yeah I I'm nothing of not a cultural critic yeah an observer have you seen St Elmo's Fire it's a lot like s Elmo's Fire at what point in St Elmo's Fire do they eat pubes um Eugene Levy's in St Elmo's Fire he does eat pubes in that one too one of the movies contract yeah yeah like doesn't lose fights you know yeah the rock eats Cod Eugene lovey SM Bush sorry say it again say again say I won't say it again I won't say it again that's fair
