Lauren Goode: I think Katie should go first. She’s the boss.
Katie Drummond: So as you all know, because I can’t stop talking about it, I recently returned from France, and one thing in particular that I am now pathologically fixated on, that I am recommending to all of you, if you want to feel just so good, if you want to just feel so good when you sit down and eat, is French butter. And so I ate so much butter last week. My entire family was obsessed with the butter. All we did was eat butter. We got home over the weekend, I went to a specialty grocery store, and I purchased French butter. And I have now been eating the French butter in the privacy of my own residence, and it’s just been a very lovely thing. I got some nice bread, I got my French butter, I’m watching the country fall apart, and I’m very well nourished, and that is my recommendation for the week. Go get some French butter. You will feel so much better after you do.
Lauren Goode: Salted or unsalted?
Katie Drummond: Salted. As salted as possible.
Lauren Goode: Room temperature?
Katie Drummond: Oh, yeah. Cold, I would say, cold to room temperature.
Lauren Goode: Cold to room temperature.
Katie Drummond: You don’t want that stuff soft and melted. That’s not the energy.
Lauren Goode: Yeah, no. This is so inspirational.
Michael Calore: That’s the only way. That’s the only way I eat butter, is soft.
Lauren Goode: Yeah. Katie, do you watch Temptation Island while you are having your bread and butter?
Katie Drummond: I have actually now moved on. I am watching, throwback alert: The Bear.
Lauren Goode: Oh, not stressful at all.
Katie Drummond: The guy in the show, the main guy, is hot, so I feel like that checks the trash box. He’s hot.
Michael Calore: Yeah, OK. We stan.
Katie Drummond: Thank you.
Lauren Goode: We do stan.
Michael Calore: Lauren. Lauren, what’s your recommendation?
Lauren Goode: I can’t top that.
Michael Calore: Sure, you can.
Lauren Goode: That share had everything. Jeremy Allen White, butter, reality TV.
Katie Drummond: It’s too late. You should have gone first. Now you have to go second.
Lauren Goode: I’m going to recommend a couple of movies that are about popes.
Michael Calore: Why?
Lauren Goode: Pope Francis just died on Easter Monday, April 21st. And—
Katie Drummond: Remind me, Lauren, who did he meet with right before he died? It’s just—this is important.
Lauren Goode: I’m trying to think of who it was. Yeah, it was, I think, JD Vance? Was it JD Vance?
Katie Drummond: Oh, it was JD, yes.
Lauren Goode: That’s right. It was JD Vance.
Katie Drummond: Right. So the Pope met with JD Vance and then died.
