Dan Pashman: This episode contains explicit language.
Jiayang Fan: I’ve had like, um, guys tell me like on a first date, “Oh, there’s like spinach, like right, like in your between your teeth.”, and it was so mortifying for me. You know?
Dan Pashman: Oh, see that — I am a big proponent — I will tell a total stranger that they have something stuck in their teeth.
Jiayang Fan: No, I think …
Dan Pashman: I feel like you always want to tell people. It’s just —
Jiayang Fan: You totally …
Dan Pashman: It’s a nice thing to do to tell someone.
Samantha Irby: Mm-hmm.
Jiayang Fan: No, I never feel any, like — I’m grateful to the other person. I’m just so deeply ashamed of myself.
Dan Pashman: Right, right.

Dan Pashman: This is The Sporkful. It’s not for foodies, it’s for eaters. I’m Dan Pashman. Each week on our show, we obsess about food to learn more about people. This week we are taking your calls, we’re going to take on some food related disputes, we’re going to listen to your hot takes, we’re going to solve your problems, or try at least. But I can’t do that on my own, okay? I need help. So I’ve enlisted two opinionated, food obsessed folks to help. They’re also two past Sporkful guests, and I’m just going to say it, two leading women of letters, two of our country’s best writers. I’ll say it. You don’t have to. we have Samantha Irby. Her most recent book is Quietly Hostile. She’s also a writer and producer on the sex and the city reboot, And Just Like That. Coming to us from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Hey, Sam.
Samantha Irby: Hey, Dan. And I do agree that we are both the most talented writers.

Dan Pashman: And right here alongside me here in the studio in New York is New Yorker staff writer, Jiayang Fan. Hey, Jiayang.
Jiayang Fan: Hi, Dan, and I’m going to have to second that.
[LAUGHING]
Jiayang Fan: Well, mostly for Sam. Mostly for Sam. Can I half second that?
Dan Pashman: You can each say it for the other. How’s that?
