today we taste Kobe with Kobe let's talk
about that mythical morning no matter
how you slice it in this life there are
people and things that are simply better
than other people and things and in the
arena of basketball Kobe Bryant is one
of those people and things well he's
just a people yes and in the arena of
beef
Colbert Wagyu is literally the Kobe of
meats and we wouldn't deserve to sit at
this desk if we didn't take this pun to
the extreme so we went to Kobe Bryant
studio to see who can taste the
difference between the Black Mamba of
meats and the cheap stuff it was a true
meeting of the minds
he's an 18 time NBA all-star five-time
NBA champion three-time father of girls
and also just added a new title to his
resume podcast producer it's Kobe Bryant
everybody whoo welcome to this room in
your production complex thank you a room
have never been in by the way I am
exploring this is its first four for all
three of us it's good yeah we're
breaking new ground this is very cool I
know you from your your basketball that
thing accolades yeah but you know we are
actually known for on the internet
eating food not basketball something
that no God we were just curious if the
mama mentality could be as equally
effective when applied to an eating
challenge hmm yeah the mama mentality is
transferable to other activities okay
okay I'm gonna find out is it time for
Kobe or no be okay Kobe so what we're
gonna be doing is we will be presented
with two different items one of them
actually features certified Kobe Wagyu
beef Kobe and the other one and the
other one is just beef from refs and
we're going to each we're all competing
against each other we're trying to
determine which one is actually the Kobe
beef okay okay
now
I think you have an advantage here isn't
your name inspired from the the beef
itself is it's not inspired but it
actually is the name of the beef my
parents must be smoked with something
really crazy serious right now I'm being
straight set down a Japanese restaurant
and they look to the menu and he saw the
name Koga you know that's a cool name
oh yeah let's do it it worked it was
this moment right now so we've got these
flags we are this is this is your flag
and we're gonna be presented we're gonna
be tasting both and then we're each
gonna plant our flag what we think is
the more expensive super fancy Kobe beef
all right and the winner gets a firm
handshake from Kobe Bryant oh wow
so if I win do I shake hands with myself
yes it's gonna be off so don't do it yet
you have a one stop I'm practicing my
handshake my mentality to practice I'm
practicing my hand shot okay all right
let's do this
mmm get this straight out of Philly or
at least straight out of that shelf over
there that we've just prepared them on
yes you're straight out of Philly every
time I am yeah I am so let's each grab
one store don't like your dish number
one and what else is it is there a limit
on the amount of bites we're taking
that's competition no limit as many as
you want whatever whatever comes to
gives you the information that you need
hmm a big bite Kobe see I just went for
more of them of the meet you I didn't
get a lot of the bread because that's
not really part of this
that is very tasty but it's very
disguised mm-hmm that's good
this is great I don't know how can get
better yeah well you're going in for
another of nap we need to use you got to
pace yourself
we got another cheese thick then we got
three more dishes after a little a
little piano smell like just down the it
has a distinctly different smell it does
it not just I didn't want to tip you
after that but it does okay it smells
better but I actually don't know if it
tastes best tells better but tastes
worse where's Joey means it's the most
expensive boy so I could be really right
yeah I'm doing like a you know what are
you sorry
Kobe's going on early agree I'm going
with taste not smell I have no
confidence and I am going with this one
with Kobe no case I think you're right I
think there's it is performing reverse
psychology on us it doesn't taste as
good because it costs more no it's just
the way that the system works the things
that taste the worse are generally more
expensive experience that's what along
with all right so you've seen the Kobe
is in dish number two Oh see I've
already won - okay round two tacos
mm-hmm again very disguised the meat is
very disguised cloaked if you will mm-hm
yes there's a few tomatoes on this I
would I would be really happy just to
donate those teeth to your cause you you
donate tomatoes
thing people who like tomatoes don't
want more what he does to me I'm your
tomato jumping right now your tomato
don't be my wife loves it when I did it
go ahead go for I am NOT your wife but
it's okay you can tomato dump that
that's fine okay I would say is giving
you an unfair advantage in the
competition because you're yeah yeah
you're taking away the quote man leave
that one don't let allow him to be
disqualified
you know disqualifying himself allow him
to disqualify him so okay it's fine it's
okay what are you guys talking about all
right here we go
right into my water see you can't play
basketball well go be out you know I
didn't wanna say this but you know we do
have a little basketball experience one
of us still holds his high school record
for most three-pointers made in a season
and the other kept score for the girls
basketball team in middle school and you
guess who's who I could not gosh I don't
know
77 three-pointers that's tough to do it
high school well I'll tell you what it's
also tough to keep track of what Pandora
Harris is doing at any particular time
lay up lay up
rebound steal she was all over the place
it's a tough job something smells
amazing man hey listen man you're the
best damn score keeper the girls team
could ask for so sweet you heard about
me
the legendary in the books all right
let's grab this second linndrum that was
pretty good by the way
both good man this is this is tough
yeah because I can't taste either one
yep that's distinguishable hmm
am I the only one that's decorating the
table in front to that extent yes yeah
yeah all right I'm going off what I
learned in round one cuz I felt like I
got a little insight there at the end of
that bite all right guys flags up
three two one oh you guys I'm sticking
great athletic mothers think alike
I really hope similarities between score
81 and keeping books yeah and the Kobe
beef is in dish - yeah that's right
seventh reporters hug is 81 points in
one game but still pretty impressive
round three slathered in gravy mm-hmm
fried to perfection tapping into our
southern roots we got this even with my
pink you know which one is fancy oh
that's a little piece I think you get
the taste you need a taste
what'd it taste like that you supposed
taste like pump ink you close your eyes
you're like a colleague okay man
the gravy I think typically they don't
put gravy on Kobe beef you know deep-fry
it bread it deep-fry it
slather and gravy so it's supposed to be
mechanically tenderized cube steak which
is like really cheap stay on me so we
should be able to tell the difference
you would think Owen tell us about your
podcast the Pew knees the podcast is
about kids getting together in the
neighborhood and playing sports having
fun playing sport I mean they rip each
other a lot you joke around with each
other a lot and they have fun most
sports nowadays has been completely
strangled by parents yeah it's so it was
about getting your kid prepared for a
professional life as opposed to just
getting out there and it's ridiculous
enjoying them just so this show takes it
back to sports me and imagine to being
fun them teasing each other so that's
what the whole show is about you're
always up to something new
you just didn't stop at basketball no
I'm here deciding which
speaking of which I think I have my
answer
all right oh yeah did you taste this one
at all how dear
okay I went back and forth and three two
one boom no right right I would bet the
farm and I don't even almost please
don't bet the farm if you had it really
about this one the farm is going the
Kobe beef is in dish one yeah all right
you've bet the farm on that brother Otto
yeah I'm never taking you to Vegas I saw
a little pink there I thought I thought
I had you guys Round four okay final
round
Kobe uh you know us we're tied yeah
links got one point and you know what I
could I could tie you guys across the
board this make us all losers it's
fantastic how very unselfish of you and
these are spicy word of warning I don't
know how spicy but some obviously food
gives me hiccups glut half of ice in
there well I feel the hiccups coming
whoa is that in the sauce oh gosh stop
oh my god we're doing this because
you're Italian right
we don't eat meatballs early it's like
going to France and no asking everybody
for french fries right how long did you
live in Italy here's eight years yeah
meatballs know me balanced and no
Italian Hoey's no pepperoni pizza
what the heck I am I am blinded my
tongue is the mole I did buy the spice
it is a total crapshoot okay wait
I made my pick oh you know I though I
exist okay this is called playing with
through injury three two one Oh Aereo's
here I'm concerned I could win we could
have a tie
I cannot win there is not that scenario
Kobe can wait I could win the final
reveal the KO baby is in dish - Oh done
