(barking)
- It's the two largest gold retrievers
to ever have lived.
They don't listen to humans, ready?
Waffle,
Chicken?
Nothing.
Hi, everyone, we are doing a stay-at-home version
of Iconic Eats today.
And seeing as I don't have access to a theme park right now,
I'm gonna answer questions about the show.
I don't really know.
I'm Chelsea-less.
Do I look
at you?
I'm gonna look at myself.
I look cute.
I put on makeup in a quarantine.
Anyway, we're gonna answer questions about the show.
We, meaning me by myself here in Jersey.
Let's do it.
It just occurred to me that maybe I should've drank
before we started doing this.
First questions first.
What do I do with the leftovers?
(chattering)
I have said it once, I will say it again,
and I guess I'll keep saying it until you hear me.
If I don't eat a food entirely,
oh my God, my dad's on a conference call.
I'm kidding, I love him.
I appreciate him, he's great.
If I don't eat the food, Chelsea takes her bite or two.
We are never without a PR crew
or an operations team in the park.
They'll dig in.
So, please don't worry about food waste.
We hear you, we understand.
It's not happening.
Don't you ever question how much I can eat ever again.
Also, I'm a hungry girl.
I eat a lot of food.
I don't know why that's so hard for you to believe.
Moving away from leftovers, we've discussed.
I get asked a lot if I can bring my own utensils to a park.
We're looking into it.
We've actually, someone sent in the idea
of maybe making, like, Delish merch,
which could be really fun.
The knives are a bit difficult.
I don't know if you guys have been to a theme park
in the year of our Lord, 2020,
but you can't bring a knife to a theme park.
So please stop asking me about that.
Julia, the other day, was like,
"What if we spork it?"
I was like, "You know what, yes."
So maybe Delish spork soon.
That could be fun.
How do you deal with the criticism?
I think you know how I deal with it.
I head straight for the comment section,
I read it all, I digest it into my heart and soul.
I take it very personally,
and then I get meaner and meaner.
Tell me I'm pretty.
(laughs)
It doesn't really bother me,
unless it's something that is anti-Semitic
or something that happens to hit
on one of my deepest insecurities.
There was a phase where a bunch of you pointed out
that I don't have an upper lip and I was like,
"I know, I've known that since seventh grade."
"I don't know what to tell you."
That really upset me.
Otherwise, I don't give a (beep).
I'm out here making
crazy videos and a lot of people think
they can do it better
and I don't think they could.
I think I'm really great at my job.
A lot of the questions I got were
about picking a favorite and least favorite place we filmed.
To be clear, I'm never gonna tell you
where my least favorite place was.
I see merit in each of these parks in their own special way.
God, my favorite park?
I mean, I'll never not be partial to Magic Kingdom.
That place brings me to tears at least once a trip.
Hi everyone, we're here at Magic Kingdom.
Some of you've been asking me for a really long time.
Whether it's because I'm drunk and tired,
I don't like chocolate.
I don't want to eat it.
Do I have to eat it?
Or because I'm,
overwhelmed with emotion.
(upbeat music)
(laughs)
I also don't know that I will ever feel
as happy as I did while I was in Dollywood.
Wow,
I'm good.
Yeah, guys, I don't really (beep) talk crux for.
I'm not gonna do it, sorry.
If I were to recommend
just one Disney Park for the food,
what would it be?
That's hard.
So right off the bat,
my gut says Epcot.
But that feels like a very Hufflepuff answer to me,
to tell you you should go to Epcot for the food.
We ate really well in Animal Kingdom.
I hope everyone I love in this lifetime
gets a chance to eat this sandwich.
That's my answer.
What happened to Chelsea on the morning of galaxy's edge?
I told you I would never tell you.
I don't think I told anyone about that ever.
(laughs)
I literary did not.
- Really? - [Woman] What happened?
- Okay, off camera, Chelsea (beep).
(upbeat music)
Actually, that's not true.
I said, if you DMed me, I would tell you
and I actually did tell a few people,
Oh my God, he's back on another call.
It feels like 2004 and I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.
Oh my God.
Do you actually love your job?
Obviously I love my job.
- [Woman] What do you want from me?
I'm in a terrible mood now.
(upbeat music)
- And there's some things
I really don't want on the internet,
but I'm just so good at my job
that I have to not care.
I just look down to drop my head in shame
and I saw confectioner's sugar in my boobs.
So, that's that.
Obviously, just because I'm not like Leslie Knope
about it doesn't mean I don't love it, you guys.
April Ludgate loved her job too.
- I wanna say thank you and I love you very much.
- It's just not my role,
sunshine and rainbows.
Of course I love my job
and I feel very lucky
all the time to be able to do all facets of it
whether it is
the park stuff
or all the other stuff I do
which nobody asked about.
Whatever, you don't care.
This is my dad on a conference call.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah, okay.
How do you stay in shape?
None of your business.
I walk a lot, I try and move my body,
do a little tiny baby weights
that are generally like the weight of like a turkey leg.
Like just imagine me dead lifting two turkey legs.
That's about it.
But yeah, really none of your business.
Does Chelsea, try everything too?
Literally, yes, there is not a thing,
even if I say that I'm not gonna share with Chelsea,
I always share with Chelsea.
I'll share this one with you, you can have some.
Yeah, I told you. - [Chelsea] It's so good.
- You do understand that the sass is performative.
It's for the camera.
So yes, of course I share with Chelsea.
I said I was gonna share it with you,
I'm not gonna share it with you.
Chelsea tries everything.
She loves any kind of Popwork mac and cheese.
She gets very excited.
She's more of a savory person than a sweet one.
In fact, whenever we go out to dinner after episodes,
which we do do, she will order a Mac and cheese side
with her entree, no matter what.
Without fail, mac and cheese.
Should I drink?
No, oh my God.
Do people recognize you as you're filming?
Yes, I told you that I'm very famous in Fargo.
(laughs)
No but it happens elsewhere.
People recognize us and people who are polite and excited
are lovely.
I love to meet people, I love to make new friends.
That's not true.
I actually really only have about like seven people
in my life who I care about friends wise,
but I'm glad to make new acquaintances.
(laughs)
Do people actually get drunk in parks?
Yes, you are all (beep) up.
When I say that I'm excited to meet people
who are happy and polite,
it's generally the drunk and (beep)
who jump in front of the camera, go
oh,
I know, I know, I know, I know.
(screams)
(power saw engine roaring)
It's not funny
When I'm as excited to me because like kindly step off.
Do you find there are certain popular foods
you just can't stomach?
Crab as a,
as a protein,
as a crustacean should not exist in Theme Parks.
I, yeah.
I don't know why there needs to be so much seafood
in Theme Parks.
Oh my God I hate crabs so much
We can all agree that that's not
what's best for us collectively, no.
What's been the most interesting part
of coordinating these companies
to perform in their parks?
You're asking
what is different from park to park
or what's fascinating about them?
I mean, each one has a very stringent set of rules
that we have to follow and are happy to do so.
I always find that it's interesting
that they have different names for their employees,
cast members, team members, partners,
whatever it may be,
and
it feels like a Cardinal sin to
mix them up (laughs)
while you're in the wrong park,
which I have done before
and felt the need to apologize many times over.
I'm not gonna get into specifics.
Don't you want to keep the magic alive?
No, I don't tell you anything.
How do you think Pretzel bae is doing?
- We eat this like this
in Germany and France. - You eat it like that.
- It's really delicious,
trust me. - Got it, okay.
I just hope he's quarantining safely.
Honestly, I love him.
I wish him all the best.
If I weren't married, blah, blah blah.
Is there any episode you wish you could redo?
Well, obviously no regrets.
If I'm being totally honest,
I wish I could give every episode
where it was very hot a redo.
I do think every
park we go to deserves a shot at
pleasant mood tests.
Like a California task kind of vibe.
(soft guitar music)
I will not speak about myself in the third person
and I'm sorry it was disgusting.
But like Legoland for example.
I'm not well.
Oh no, a kid wants it.
What an all time low.
Had it not been an actual swamp there,
would I have had the best day?
We'll never know
'cause I'll never go back.
So yeah, I wish I could redo anything where it was,
let's say 90 plus degrees.
Can you rank top three looks from the episodes?
No.
I like too cute and Coney.
We're gonna have some hot dogs.
We're gonna go on some rides at
(laughs)
(beep).
Hollywood studios, number one.
Did you miss me Chelsea?
- [Chelsea] No.
- Don't lie to (beep) my face.
When you drink, does Chelsea join you?
Does she seem like someone who would miss out on anything?
No.
Can I get off camera confirmation this is vodka?.
Oh, you're gonna do it?
- [Chelsea] It's vodka.
- I knew it was Vodka.
You didn't have to drink so much to tell me that.
Do you do anything the day before to prepare?
I, again, am just (laughs)
kinder to my body and I'm hydrating very well
and eating very nicely.
I am spending time with my husband and my friends.
That's not true,
I actually do not spend time with anyone at all
because I get anxious
and I need quiet.
No, I just, I just eat really well.
I drink a lot of water.
Chelsea and I always get water and bananas in the airport.
That's our breakfast and almonds, we always have almonds.
And then wherever we are going
and we knock it out.
Will you do more New York city episodes?
I hope so.
How convenient and fun would that be?
Would you be open to a dietary restricted at
gluten free vegan?
Of course I would be.
I would love to do something like that.
I do wonder how that actually would be on my body.
I don't think my digestive track would handle
a vegan episode well.
And I definitely have corn just now.
I do have to take that into account before
I agree to something like that.
But sure, I would love to.
And I hope you
have noticed that we're making a conscious effort to
incorporate more vegan friendly vegetarian items
into each episode.
(murmur)
I don't know why I feel the need
to show you that I'm eating,
but I do, which is I don't,
I don't know what to do with my hand.
Other than a turkey leg,
what else do you have a hard time eating?
I think this is turkey leg number six for me by this point.
That's a good question.
Funnel cake is not easy to eat when you're standing.
But I have gotten good at it.
I feel like once an episode there's like a very thick
sandwich that should be like a two hander.
But again, I don't have that luxury
of sitting and enjoying myself.
This is a sandwich that ideally you'd be sitting down to eat
in a perfect world.
So I'm going to go with sandwiches and funnel cakes.
Yeah.
What?
- [Woman] What?
- What?
- [Woman] I have to ask daddy a question.
- Okay ask him, it's fine.
- [Woman] Roger,
which salmon am I using?
(mumbles)
But then take a piece out of the other one
and freeze the rest?
- I hope this hasn't been as painful for you
as it is for me.
I mean that because I'm bad at it,
not because it's not been fun.
Waffle, what are you doing?
Okay,
are you always mean to Julia and Chelsea?
That's really the last question you wanna ask.
No, we are all friends stop it.
We're probably gonna destroy Chelsea in the process.
It's just kinda the game plan for today.
Did you just audibly groan.
Can I have an asterix, audible groaned.
I am a very
nuanced person.
Full of layers,
hopes, dreams,
et cetera, et cetera, blah, blah.
This has been fun.
We can tell ourselves that.
I hope you're enjoying the show.
I really, truly do.
That means a lot to me.
And
everyone who's reached out to say
that it has brought them joy during another worst trying
time has brought me to tears, which you will never see on
the internet because I want you to think that I am stone
cold, but I love you,
I love this, not this part.
It's just, Chelsea is gonna tear it into shreds.
I love how my hair looks truthfully,
but no, this has been great.
Stay safe everybody.
We'll see you soon.
Can't wait to be back out in the parks.
I love you.
This is Waffle.
He is bigger than me.
He also (beep).
He's my idol.
(upbeat music)
