or your pause the home pin set or incident read. i know it sounds like you know, i got a month out there, but i honestly didn't got a i'm recovered greeley. i had 5 surgeries, a ton of physical therapy, and i got about 90 percent of my strength back. and a lot of my dexterity back when about 56 weeks before we started filming, i had my fift in final surgery, now was the one to really give me flexibility. before that i couldn't even been my my hand. i could, this was like, my 1st like can make so i would have never been able to do to competition. and going into this competition i really was ensure my capabilities, i mean, i know i wanted to compete, but i didn't know. busy how strong i was going to be or what my endurance level was, and i going to tell you dennis, thing god, because not only did i, you know,

go to competition. great. but we made some of the best cakes i've ever made in my life. and there was nothing from a hand perspective that held me back or that i couldn't do little light or touch on your front bay now, but it did a little said, you know, when i think about the irony of that body, like, obviously it's your stock in trade killer, baker, not tv star, but you start up carlos bakery and you know, that's sure that you're living and maybe it always your eyes, me a grand catch the great chef at a linea. he ends up getting a taste but you know, a tumor on it. you just think my god, the way the world visits weird things for you to go in doing some bowling. all of a sudden that happens like that. you've got immediate carpal tunnel. 5 surgeries later, so thankful you're back. brother. what, what a great punctuation note. yeah, and honestly, god bless the doc carlson is h s. s and my therapy team because you know,

i would never, if i show you the video then assume is pretty gory. it looks like looks like a holloway prop. i got a metal spike that went right through my hand. it was. it's crazy. well, thank god you're good. let's. let's leave it at that. and i know a lot of fans were worried about your, but you're back in there in the squared circle with duff goldman. so i know they weren't gonna agree like your baby unless you had your chops back. now listen, i am fresh. but i got to tell you in the last 3 months i got hooked on great british baking show. i've watch 9. yeah, i watch 9 and tire seasons. i was fascinated vita is funny, the thing i walked away with, i used to always look in the windows at pho, shaw, or something. when i was in paris and the god patricia res, so beautiful. i've lost my respect for the way because it doesn't seem half as good as half the puddings and takes and shoe pastry they were making on the show over

the 10 seasons i watch. and i'm wondering what when you 1st started, was it bread? is that your gateway, your gateway bake? now my gateway bake was definitely more. busy old world, the time and deserts, you know, like making a sweet l or cream puffs, a close all that shoe pastry pies and cookies. and, you know, i have a tremendous amount of respect for, for that british baking show. it's kind of like it's killing a trance. you go into a new, you sucked in and you like how to help that? i watch 16. so that did you memorize, you know, mesmerized. so for me it's more important the flavor and the artisan of how to make something. then even the way it looks and i know that you watch what i do with case and you're like, oh yeah, but a lot of when you do is more decorative and creative. yeah. but it starts with the

base of that, you know, old world ingredients doing it the old fashioned way. we do what we still do today . yeah, definitely more interested in what's on the inside of the fondant than i am under 400. it's, you know, it's nice, but to me it's like the, the colon area, equivalent of sheet rock or something you got to actually i want to go back all the place of our yeah, you get the skim coat on, but i want to see what's behind there. man, and i'm fascinated by the cake big and you know what i dug about the british bay golf is that they were still they hadn't gotten so woke or politically correct that they still wouldn't light somebody up who screwed the poach on a particular thing. i find that artic, this is such a touchy feely world right now with this whole thing, but we don't have a 1st or 2nd place. there were times people were based on their and paul hollywood guy would say he take

a bike because this is horrible. and i think it shouldn't be the end of the world we, we've, we've become a motional human feelie acts. i found it interesting that they would still call people on up. i'm wondering on the way up, do you think you would have gotten as good as your god? if there wasn't somebody, marco pier white, somebody along the way, who just looked and said this is been cut and a kid. you've got to get better, don't you need that somewhere in your career? i definitely do. i mean, again, i was dealt crazy cards. i was 17. my dad died. i had to drop at a high school to take over the family business. and you know, i had to go every single day and work hard guys who knew more than me. i had a whole myself, you know, pay homage, respect to them for them to teach me. and i had to train and i trained and i trained and i, you know, i had to become the best i could be what i did. and it only comes from hours and hours. you know, people always asked me all the time. like,

how did you get so good for me? baking is like breathing. i don't even think about it. it's a reaction, right? i think a placement bag. it's like attached to my arm. it's like, you know, like a transform that only happens when you bake thousands and thousands of cakes and cookies and pastries. it's from ours are becoming a master, right? i watch you are the piping bag. it's like, you know, roger, us whole to distract it. it's just, it is an extension of, of your very person. hey, tell me about your dad. brag on your old man for me or tell me what it, what sort of kid that he handed off at 17 and what part did he play? and getting that kid from the arctic to 17. tell me about your dad. my dad was my best friend. my biggest hero, my life, and biggest influence, my 1st day of work he brought me in. i was probably 11 or 12 years old and i said,

my going to do that. i'm going to make cake. and he brought me a bathroom and he says, i want you to clean the toilet bowl. really, i gotta clean it all. again, i came from a very old fashion of tying and household where i had 4 sisters and my mom, i was like the prince and do nothing at home. you know, i'm like, great, like, i mean it's just, it was all there. so, you know, you can say today that there was a tour of the little lord valid. i'm obvious that takes me, i thought was 40, you know, i mean, the world will you know? but he and he said to me, why he, when i said dad, you want me to really do this. he says, why do you think you to good for? and i said no. and he said to me, son, you got to take as much pride and clean the toilet bowl as if you were making a wedding cake. and he wanted to show the baker's that just because i was his son,

i wasn't going to get special treatment. and he wanted me to know what it was like to be the guy to clean the towable and you know what today dennis in their mind and i, you know, i will get down clean the total. busy today i tell my employees, there's never anything that i'd ask you to do that i wouldn't do. i never ask you to work harder than me. and, you know, you set the temple, he's to tell me when you, when you're working on a bench. he say he's to say you got to do 2 cookies to everybody's one. you set the tempo, your blood's got to boil. like you said, the example of how to work, be the 1st one in and, and do what you gotta do. and he was amazing. and i actually during the season a body dove, or finale cake, we did this $22.00 foot long nuclear dinosaur. right? and it was about 2000 pounds. who was this one of the sickest cakes ever made in my

life? i mean, you step back, you like, holy, like you can't even imagine you made that and i stepped back them as an i cry. and i thought of my dad, i said, man, they all make and see where we don't even dreamt of doing that. in 1990 you know. busy like when, when i was learning as a young baker and just, you know, that after this injury i was able to achieve that level of cake. was, was like, no, i thought of l man. there's actually his chain. when he died. i put it on and never take it off. beautiful. you know what you should have that you should have good to know margin. the old man went in at the end of the nuclear dinosaur at the end of the 22 feet. right? where are the elementary canal exits on the property and put a mole in steaming cake right there. your old man saying what you're to good, the clean up nuclear dinosaur,

buddy. a get him to go green rather. exactly. say to me if it but a the last row with us to take a break. we're going to come back and talk more about buddy versus duff. i also want to talk about some of the primal underlay of preparing food for other human beings. there's show biz, there's this, there's that. but if he did come from, obviously the, from the family, those women taking care of the women, but making something about the primal exchange, repairing, sustaining food for other human beings. and how important it is in this whole overarching scenario, buddy, the last row right after this on dennis miller plus one. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation,

let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk the other stuff. and then you need to talk to someone like you could tell me that's a job when i'm in the position . if you need questions on it for me, i don't want to just about what it was, which would be join me,

but it was easy. i got to know how to choose, you can put an offer me quite a bit as long food. one me to tell you the other hand, that's why you need that is that quote that we should join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guests in the world. the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the hey, folks. welcome back to that is miller was was having a blast, but he the last drop. and the pause,

good cake boss started in 2009 room for 14 seasons. he's the owner of carlos baker . i think they branched out a little, but the original mother ship, i think, somewhere in jersey. and he's also the face of buddy v's ristorante, and he currently has to show, you know, with duff buddy versus stuff on the food network. you know, buddy, my kid when he got out of new instead of taking one of those, well, what do they call it? a bridge year before you go either high school to college, college grad school. he took a bridge year and he said he just wanted to work gigs like like larry, larry, whatever, darnell or whatever his name is. and the razor's edge, he wanted to just work a bunch regular gigs. he was a baker for awhile and i said, son, you know, he was in new york. you said it was a 1000 degrees. he was bacon bread for this restaurant down in the village. and i said, what do you get out of its son? and he said, well listen, i just wanted to learn something substantive. and i thought what could be more

substantive than making bread to be the peat other humans and having them come back in a few days later and say i was a killer love, give me another one of those. he said it was a very primal and he found a valid exchange. you must find that your work. it must be the underlay of everything. right. 100 percent. that is, i mean that's, that's what we do. you know what, i'm going to business and making people happy when i see them me, one of my creations or something that i made and you see them enjoy it. it's why we do all we do. and it's funny how you said, you go back to like bread baking, we talk about it actually where my mother comes from an italy. it's a little town and pull your cold of the moon. i've been the plan. you've been employ. yeah. food, great, good. of the motor every year wins the blue ribbon for the best bread and all europe. and i'm just saying and because my mother's down, it's called pun delta motor, right. so i did an. busy episode to keep boss right,

we will go to the bakery and this oven had to be about 1400 years old. that they were baking bread in, and they had the mother used to go. how many years is the mother? he's the oh we don't even we, i mean, 100, say hundreds years it goes back that yeah. mother is and they treat this thing like like, you know, it's, it's their child. this mother. yeah. and they make a bread and we're trying to film and you know how it is in the like. all right, we'll wait a 2nd camera. the guys like, hey, listen fargo, we don't go right now. we're going to bring going in a rose to where it's got to go and my camera guys are all scramble. we got it. but to see the pride of what these, you know, like this quality did, they made any cobblestones. were this big old oven and what happens is they stuff

if they light a fire would, would, would, would they stuff to burn all the bright, an air and then close it and then she'll walk the oxygen. so the fire goes out and it is worth the bread cook, and it is like the most delicious bread you've ever tasted in your life and done in such an old world way. and what happened was the town, it's funny day. all the families used to have a stamp, because back then they couldn't go ambo and 500 years ago, they had no way of they couldn't buy the bakery, the bread from the bakery. it would make the bread at home and put their family stamp in it, and then bring it to a bakery and he would baker for them. wow. it was like the stick is thing. so that's like my, like my surname miller there. there was always the cat and the thing you, you'd take the take the grain from the field down and he would grind it up the miller for the same sort of the same deal that i love,

that they couldn't afford it. so they take it to the, the center piece that of and that still is with us today. you talk about the hub of a town right there, brother. incredible, incredible. and i love the fact that the mother east, they've always got a story on like, well, this was the emperor herod bins. belly button fuzz. and we put that in some. we put that in some oil le monet overnight to now we've got this. they've always got a story about their mother use that so beautiful. yeah. or when you get into cognac like you, they tell you about this cause cognac was, you know, for being 90 to king louis you big, you know, it goes look really a very rare vintage indeed. you know, when i was read, when you watch bread, the world around buddy, when you go over, you were talking about the sub and i love that mental image of them having it all those years. they get those stones so hot,

you think about over in india when you see them throwing those things in those big . they're almost like jars that they super heat and they throw it, they flap it onto the inside of the jar, take their non bread. i'm just absolutely fascinated by bread. if somebody said to me and listen, i love cakes. i'm a cake fan, my self. but somebody said, what's it all about? and i wanted to study baking. i think i'd have to go to bread just because it seems so adam and eve to me. know. yeah, it is. some could the bread is amazing. i love bright. i mean again and luckily enough, being from new york new jersey, we are good right here. you know what i'm saying? i mean, i don't, i don't, i don't wanna let you went on a little secret, but we do get the best spread in a country here. know that a lot, those slider buns out a white man. i can think about those. and still get my mouth water and on the way, by the way, i had to teach you stuff. i know. i love it. i love it. i love it. best, boom, boom, boom,

this pile. i'm in baby. smash him down those little balls and go in or talk of the body of the last year, but he versus stuff in the show right now. 3rd season over at the food network. it's funny to me. they always find authentic catch up posting the shows and yet when they do their next networks, food shift thing, it's so politically correct and woke and you know, you sit there and you watch it and they come in with those incipit career. you can say anything, you know, they're your bosses, but the thing that works on the food network is real guys doing real work and make a real product. you look at guy, i know people have trouble with guy, but when i watch guy set an x to a capital makes apostrophe sam, which i know clara, wisconsin who he's proud of it and god gives him his property. that's a beautiful moment man. it's very important that the host connect with regular human beings. well nobody like guy for that. and i got to say like i know him or. busy you know, besides be on tv with him. he's just an awesome god. yeah. he's there, kyle,

you know, he's just saw through the earth and, and that's and that's what, what i think people connect with. right. and honestly, i don't think that anybody does better on tv and have many of them like he's that kind of guy like who you want to come to your bakery. you want to feed him, you know what i'm saying? he looks like a guy you want to feed. now robert osborne on tcm was the another fully realized, guy on television, i thought what a perfect mesh of a guy these movies. and i look at guy and like i said, you see those people. they're very proud of a specific this that's been made, maybe 100 times and in the hands of the guy. and he does, he disengages, with john, takes a big bind. looks taps that i think that's, that's their pulitzer, that's the nobel prize. that moment matters to them and he knows that he says he's smart and he's kind and natalie to them. but to people in the community like white manor, right. like me and you know, light manner. but, you know,

is some guys here in new jersey but not ever be across america? does like when you're watching diners driving the dives and you see white man on the, you know, i didn't, that's my spot or, you know, water a want to local places that you know, so it's a, becomes a community hero thing. now. duff's real people like you to the extent that i know i'm, i can say no golf duff, i know guy a little, but whenever i would watch for the best thing i ever 8 and they got to him, they usually put him in a clean up spot and you could see that you could see those jobs work and he's about to tell you about a pit p sandwich or baltimore. you can see, you know, he's getting all drooly like turner and who should know it's dripping. i guess that he knows of what he used to say which or do i know exact well as if i had to tell you of me enough became really good friends over over the course of these 3 seasons. it funny enough, we were really probably 2 of the biggest names in baking and in a world,

but we never really met, you know, we never really, really sore each other. just kind of coincidentally, and then, or, you know what? i hurt my hand. he was one of the 1st people to call me and, and wish me best same guy, you know, and just just just good people. so now listen, i want to pick your brain a little bit. and i know there's a bunch of places, but man, you gotta give me a few of cakes that you dream about because i gave, yeah, i can get, i can get caught up with a cake or a good hokey. i can think of, you know, a good hoagie sandwich and i can't get it out of my head. i go, i got to call in and see if they ship those. there is a take place back in virginia that i order a christmas cake from. i can't remember the name right now. it comes with a red can with a strike of it is so freaking good. i'll get another one this christmas. sorry, i'm blanking on the name. but tell me a couple cakes that you roll over in your hands. and boy,

they hit the hell out of that cake. well, i mean, i believe it or not. i love cake. i mean, and so we did this one episode of we were doing a show was be but now be body. it was, it was what we did. i didn't like a competition show where i was looking for like the best figures and this one guy made this week, potato a cake. and again, and listen, i mean, between me and you, i try to be politically correct when you eat it. you know what i'm trying to say when you eat one thing and you just like, oh my god, this thing is delicious. yeah. i the whole god damn piece it was like it was forget about was no one thing, cream cheese. i always had like this maple potter cream. so like a maple butter cream, but it was a sweet potato cake. it was almost like it had p cans on top was like, can be,

it was like crack, it was so good. you just like, kept going into it and you and you couldn't, couldn't get enough of it. you ever see the movie quite sho, buddy. do you know that movie is a great movie called quiz show, directed by robert redford and it's, it's, i'm telling you, if you get a chance, it's one of the most exquisite modern movies that gets short trip. but it's brilliant. it's about the quiz show scandals, and there's a scene where re find goes home for the weekend. his life's of mouse durham. now he's been cheating on the, he's been cheating on this quiz show. he knows that his father's grand d, the columbia university and he knows he's in trouble. he goes home, he becomes a kid. he goes into the kitchen and i can't sleep. he takes a big court glass cord of milk and a piece of chocolate cake. and it's the only solace he has in his life at the moment is he's eating his mom's chocolate cake, and he's cooling his head with a cold bottle and then taking a big swig. and i often. 2 think, you know,

you can derive comfort creature comforts from some things from your childhood that can make you feel safe again and often they're of an all factory sense, tast touch, smell, stuff like that. 100 percent, 100 percent. know that i get a check that movie out, but there is nothing like that. you know, i mean for me, i could i do it on sundays like when i wake up on sunday morning, i walk downstairs and i could smell the garlic and meatballs brian up reminds me of my mother or my grandma. now my wife does it, you know, so it sadness, damage it at family meal that, that center i did not bring families together like boot or are you replicate? not vide buddy over at the restaurant. a tell me about that. i'm not as hip to that . i know you're from banking, you replicating that family stuff via over there? 100 percent. anytime you are the venetian, that is let me know. i love to have you there. check it out. what the for me, the,

the call on every rock stars in my life. where my mom, my grandma, my dad, my, my wife, my wife's and amazing cook. i mean that's why i can't lose the last 30 pounds, you know. but um, i want people to go to my restaurant and feel like the reason in my house. and honestly, we've just been so, you know, it's about 7 years now. we've just been growing so much. we had a lot of repeat business because it's real. it's real. like jersey, red sauce type a place. you know, so anytime you're in town come let me add to your list of impact cooks in your life. i got to go with big poly shave and the guy like dad raise a leg. that's like the ready get to get a translucent and then it's such

a perfect moment. these guys are so brutish, but they're delicate with their guy. like slides. absolutely beautiful. but he, the last stroke chairs, he's best and guess what folks the, the hand is good and buddy and up and their 3rd season. good to see you back. rather, i'm glad. good for you. that is always a pleasure, man. thank you, brother. all right, later gator buddy glass draw dennisville or plush work the the problem on the desk failing is that it forces them to admit what that number is like 3 or 2, which are the money supply numbers once the numbers got so scary, they stop reporting them similarly with the debt ceiling kabuki theater, that happens every couple of years. they're just going to get rid of it won't even announce that number. it will be impossible to find what that, that american is that i'll just say

a number sign for infinity. one of the worst ever mess shootings in worker was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little of the real last vegas where many say elected officials are controlled by christina learners. the shooting revealed what the l v m p d really is. and now it's part of the stand machine to the american public barely remembers that it happens. that just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic had the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care to. here's caroline goodman, offering the lives of the vegas residence, to be the control group, to the shiny facade concealer deep indifference to the people vice gonna say that they would take an action. absolutely,

keep the registering and keep the slot machines doing. they use as a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost ah, i think is part of mental health revolution. we increasingly freeze political claims inside the language of mental health became more common. so if you disagree with something i said on this program, just say i just agree with you. i think you're wrong because of the following problems in your adventure logic. you see your micro grass mate, you say you triggered me. you said you harm you again some psychological way because those are psychological terms. and i guess an enormous problems or politics because it's almost impossible to have a discourse on that terrain. the

the headline news us troops up back in afghanistan. this time though to get that diplomats out as the taliban makes rapid territorial gains . the state department claims. it's not a hasty evacuation, just to save drop down of empathy staff. while the use open door policy seems to slammed shuts with the lock split over the migration of refugees from afghanistan, several states are insisting on their right to forcibly deport rejected asylum seekers. and a powerful blast has through a passenger of us in the town of veronica and western russia, leading to dead and 17 injured. the cause isn't yet. and i witness says the explosion hit the vehicle stream the heart. the explosion was very loud. so loud i was deafening for some time and the blood pressure was so high that my call.
