Better ingredients.
Better pizza.
Is potato.

I think I'd prefer the potato.
I love your comment.
This is clearly the slogan of Papa John's knock off Russian cousin, Otets Dzhon (Отец Джон).
Better ingredients.
Better pizza.
its crickets and yes its actually better than our old recipes!
Come on ... cricket flour? "Jiminy Croquettes" was right there.
The pitch, and... GOAL!!!
Very good 🥇
Stephen, you should publish a book of all your Meanwhile ‘preludes’. They’re fantastic!🤣💖
TBH I skip over that part now (love Stephen, just sick of that long lead up :-) )
@@katherineparker2743 Yeah same. I found it amusing the first ten times or so, but then it became somewhat boring.
Don't get me wrong, it's generally well phrased and presented, but the premise is so predictable, that i can't find myself entertained by that bit anymore.
I love them, they are better than many of the stories IMO.
i dont bother with the preludes either. too much and too long to go listen to...
No... But thanx.
I love how Stephen has been doing that same retching gag since his days at second city. It always works
ISWYDT.
Unbelievable the use of an expensive gadget to set timer for two cooking pots. There are no words for the skill. 😂
I mentioned this in another chat but future versions could be used in schools to augment learning and ELIMINATE possible deficiencies through eye tracking and synchronization.
@@Digitokethreepointoh I can imagine there are a lot of excellent uses for this gadget, especially in business. I'm surprised they even bother to market it for home chores. Or that anyone would consider it for that.
So excited to fuckup Mar a Lago in GTA VI .
I live too close to Florence Kentucky to be happy with that restroom.
The closing joke was pure gold, but it would have been funnier, had the very last line been: “It’s always been spiders.”
One push sets the balls in motion!? now THAT is a button I want to push.
czcams.com/video/VSfdzVhhcWo/video.html
Yeah, no...thats the very last button my bare hand is ever gonna touch
i can't help but notice that they avoid mentioning what happens if you don't solve the coffin puzzle in 30 minutes
Why? What happens? 😮🤣🤣
Looks like you did that same thing....
@@pennygleeson5029 if i knew then why would i be asking?
The Vanishing
It's a trap.
I haven't seen anyone trapped in a claw machine since pillow guy on Kimmell
There is an allowable limit of insect matter in most foods, so we've probably already eaten cricket flour.
Yup
I ate a cricket on purpose once just to convince a creepy guy that I wasn't the girl for him.
I'll never do it again, not because the cricket was nasty, but because... what if he had been turned on by me eating an insect? 😱
Anyway, anyone who eats candy most likely is ingesting bug products.
Carmine is a red dye used to create the red Skittles, Boston Baked Beans, and other red candies. Carmine is harvested from the cochineal scale insect.
Don't eat the red ones? Sorry, but the shine on candy is usually Shellac, a wax secreted by the lac insect, Kerria lacca. Food grade shellac is often used as a coating to seal the food and prevent transfer of the color dyes from the candy to the skin.
Personally, I'll take the bug secretions over chemical compounds I can't pronounce. At least the little critters are "all natural"! 🤪
@@LazyIRanch I've tried roasted crickets, perfectly edible. Neither good tasting nor bad tasting. Just... bland. An insanely rich source of protein though, almost pure protein in a single cricket vs the 3% to 15% we get from animal meat.
@@Hathur YES! It makes no sense that we AREN'T using insect protein for food as a matter of course. Other nations do!
Funny thing happened to my uncle, who married a woman whose family is indigenous to Mexico. My uncle always raved about the delicious native foods his MIL cooked.
One day, he told us how some natives of Mexico love to eat the Maguey larvae, either roasted or alive, and even though they're considered a delicacy he would _never_ try it!
My Aunt Conchita looked at him quizzically and said, "Honey, you have eaten maguey worms MANY times! That red sauce my mother makes that you love so much is made from them!"
I'm so glad this dialog took place during a family reunion so we could add this story to our family folklore. 😂
@@LazyIRanch Its huhu grubs in New Zealand.
I’m extremely claustrophobic and not a fan of puzzle games. Never in a million years would I pay money to be locked in a coffin to solve puzzles. But if that’s your thing, have fun!
I’m with you. I can’t imagine doing that. I’d panic very quickly.
Nobody thought to get the arcade employee with the key to the very visible latch on the glass door (they do have to reload the plush toys, you know), rather than endanger the kid with broken glass?
How do you endanger someone with what is clearly safety glass? What's next, endanger people with cotton balls and security blankets?
Also how do you know nobody thought to get the guy with the key? Seems like the most likely scenario was, the guys or guys who open the thing were not readily available, they probably only come by once a week or so to service, restock and maintain, and they usually come outside of business hours. So instead of making a scared kid wait for hours on end inside a machine, they simply broke a window of safety glass, which can be replaced cheaply. They were probably much more keen on avoiding a lawsuit, then on saving a few bucks for a small glass window.
@@Jonathanizer TMI. (And it's "than", not "then".)
Toilet Turkey. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"How do you smuggle in an apple?" Easy. You smuggle an apple seed. You plant it in a secluded corner of the yard. You water it everyday with water you smuggle out of the mess hall in your pockets. Depending on how long a stretch you still have, you'll have as much apple as you can bake with a 60-Watt bulb in a discarded soup can. Smuggling the soup can, though, can be a b*tch.
As Johnny Appleseed knew, that Apple will be sour, a cider apple.
No soup can is easy, soup can seed!
"It's a good thing."--MS
😂😂
Pie is Like all you can eat in there ?
Trump won't make a toilet turkey...
...but he looks like one.
...only the baste people.
As a father, I loved the High seas joke.
beautiful, quiet shores all around
There’s a child stuck inside a claw machine somewhere in the world about once every year.
I'd take the shattered glass as a prize.
I work with resin.
The image of toilet turkey will never escape my mind ...
Makes me think of the Bob Burgers ep where he keeps putting turkeys in his toilet. 😂🍔
then there's Jim (Patton Oswald) from SpongeBob SquarePants dumping every "failed" Krabby Patty SpongeBob was tryna get a critique on.
I was having breakfast 🤮
Just pair it with a good prison toilet wine and all will be fine?
Leave it to the Aussies to break the glass of the game machine and risk hurting the kid rather than simply unlocking it and opening the door, LOL :D Mind you, you gotta ask, how the hell did the kid get in there in the first place?!
Or how much it would cost to replace the glass. Seriously a stupid move.
Breaking the glass is cheating! They should have told the kid to hold still and let the claw take him. It probably could have been accomplished with a roll of quarters, or two!
Yeah, maybe firemen should wait for the door to burn down first as well.
they're small enough and limber enough to do that. keep in mind, this is not the first time _A_ small kid has climbed into a claw game machine like that, and it won't be the last.
So as an Australian who is familiar with the situation they called the company who own the machine, who suggested trying to win the kid back. The police then smashed their way in and are charging the company for gross negligence.
4:33 "...while the world's _biggest_ escape room remains _Florida."_
I would've sooner guessed _Siberia._
I feel like 'smuggled' is probably a strong word of what Martha Stewart did.
Probably all of the guards knew and allowed it in exchange for their own food.
Seriously. It takes more than "smuggling" some food to make those creations. Unless she had an Easy Bake oven in her cell.
"How do you smuggle in an apple?"
The same way you bake it
Fuck yeah CRICKETS!
“One push sets the balls in motion” is the type of public bathroom that Former Republican Senator Larry Craig really likes.
Meanwhile always makes my day
Kinda sad Steve missed Micheal Buble high on shrooms at the NHL all star game draft. The interview is pretty hilarious
I've eaten sour cream and onion crickets, i'd definitely give cricket flour a chance
People have been baking with bugs in flour for centuries. This is just the first time anybody admitted to it😂
2:58 Great message they're sending. Hey kids, if you can climb into the machine, you get a free toy and ruin everyone else's day!
Any kid small enough to get in the machine, is likely too young to be affected by some "message" you think they are sending. Sheesh.
@@xavmiz3070 Then I guess kids are a lot smarter than you, because the message is simple: "Get in the machine, receive toy."
That kid was smart enough reverse engineer his way inside. Which is a fancy way of saying: Understood where the toy would come out of, so he climbed in through there. Kids can very much figure out that a kid getting a toy after being saved means they too can do the same thing.
I'm unclear on whose day the kid ruined. He was retrieved safely, and I'm pretty sure our coppers would rather be called out to something like that than idk, a DV or car crash or something else particularly horrible. Plus, one of our news channels made a particularly brilliant piece about it called 'Claw and Order' that definitely gave people a chuckle. I don't think the kiddo will be going into a claw machine again after he was stuck in there for about an hour.
@@nanyubusnis9397 The kid probably spent some time in that machine, whilst they were looking if they can get the guy who services the thing and has the key to come around. They probably only cracked the safety glass, when it became clear the guy was not readily available. Seems unlikely that you as a kid want to spent a significant part of your fun afternoon in such a place inside a machine, instead of playing with everything else, just to get one of the pretty lame toys. Also i don't know how that is supposed to be a "message", nobody is advertising this concept to the kids there, and i doubt the kid himself has significant reach to promote the "message" of him getting a reward for climbing in the machine, so there is no real danger of setting bad incentive structures, if the kids who go there don't know.
This guy probably just wanted to appease the parents, and quash any idea of suing the place for having an unsafe machine and trapping/ terrifying their kid. Not saying such a suit would be justified, but even frivolous suits are a nuisance to deal with, and are costly even if won. And people have sued for much less, especially parents when it comes to their kids are often in the mindset "it's everybody elses fault". Or maybe he was just in a general "the customer is always right" mindset widespread in the service industry, where they constantly comp stuff when there is a problem (irregardless of who may be to blame). Maybe he wanted to avoid a bad online review by annoyed parents. Maybe he had all these things in mind when he diffuses the situation with a cheap gift.
You know these toys are really cheap, right? They cost a few bucks, because the margins are really high, producing them costs a few cents per unit, and giving one of those toys to the kid after the incident was a smart move, it could prevent trouble at very low cost.
@@Jonathanizer Kids are smart, it's true. But it's not like they care about the cost of a toy they want, nor would this video indicate the kid didn't have a fun time in there like it's a fluffy bal pit. They're not seeing how long the kid spent in there, for all they know, this happened within 5 minutes.
I don't get why you guys focus on "message" like it's some kind of political propaganda. Anything you do, sends a message, to people observing. Literally anything. Young kids are notoriously bad at thinking ahead. They just think about what's in front of them. If you grow up to have a child of your own, one day you're going to drop him/her off at school for the first time. Most of the time, they will cry. Why? Because it looks like you're leaving them. No amount of "I'll be back" will cheer them up. They're either going to have to find something they think is fun there, or you're going to have to leave at some point, but they will get over it.
Here the message kids of that age get if they saw the video, is exactly what it looks like. If kids see precedent of kids getting toys after getting stuck, there definitely will be kids who imitate. Have any of you ever had kids?
@BlueSpiritFire1 No not the cops day. They were just doing their job. Think about the parents worrying about their child. I'm sure they weren't afraid to lose him, but the longer it takes the more nervous you get, and you can bet they got nervous when they said "We're gonna have to break the glass." I know if done right, there's little to no danger, but it's night impossible to calm down a nervous mother.
Finally, come on you silly people! It's a freaking joke! What kid of that age watches *the news* ?! Are you guys really this fired up about the word "message" ? The only kids you'd have to worry about would be the hand full of kids there that saw the rescue, and probably not even them, because they would most likely have seen the kid stuck in there, maybe even crying at first.
The joke here, is, as any *parent* can relate, that kids don't think ahead, and will b-line it to the nearest toy, be it 50 cents or a 5k toy car they can drive in. We love our kids, and their mistakes are endeering, and it's all part of learning to grow up. Learning to think ahead. I don't think that kid would do this again either, unless the rescue was within some 10 minutes. Then it's up to the parents to make sure they learn not to do that.
I can't believe Italy has begun using cricket powder before me
I have been waiting for it for 5 years now :(
She smuggled the baked apple inside a cake.
Crickets are just land shrimp!
Are you saying bugs is shrimps?
Stephen is the King of the "Vurp."
This was the best Meanwhile in a while.
Fun Fact: There have been ground up arthropods in flour as long as there's been flour. Now there will just be more.
1:40 Meanwhile starts.
The biggest escape room is north korea😮
There has to be some kind of joke about the crickets and Jiminy Cricket… I mean Pinocchio is an Italian story, right?
I love your upbeat attitude and stylish mood. #1 in presentation, charisma, show business.
Gotta love Colbert. He got guts
He has a little bit less guts since that whole appendix debacle.
You nissed your chance to say "balls". 😂
One of your best meanwhile in a while. Coffin date great for valentines day.
Waiter nauseated by food lol
4:41 I'm in that escape room,HELP!
😂Do not teach that kid that the way to get the prize is by climbing into a space you're not allowed to and waiting for someone to rescue you! That said, I'm happy he's ok.
It's such an absurd scenario, and the kid was probably scared, i think we can forgo thinking about setting bad incentive structures here. Also the "teachable moment" is the parents job, the worker probably just wanted to diffuse the situation and minimize the chance of a bad review, lawsuit or whatever.
I skip the interviews, I watch Meanwhile.
"How do you smuggle in an apple?"
Don't ask, Stephen.
Hey! Cricket flour is awesome. It has a light nutty flavor. Makes a great bread.
yeah, crickets are supposed to be yummy. Eaten in Africa.
I hope it's made out of giant crickets. They're so small here, you'd have to kill thousands to make a loaf of bread.
3:43 please say, "Yes. That long pause after the turkey joke was in honor of the South Park episode featuring Stewart."
I like that he shouts out After Midnight
Love it Mr Grouchy was there 🎉
“How do you smuggle in an apple?” You be Martha Stewart. Least cringe- worthy answer.
Ask about our all new creepy crawly stuffed crust with a free side of our heavenly praying mantis dipping sauce !!!
Classic throwback to the queasy waiters skit
Steven rules the late shows, he's the best by far!
Next segment should be Stephen eating roasted crickets from the local Oaxacan restaurant.
his intros are finally crafted wordsmithing into random aspects of life are such a great inspiration for anyone who comes to America regardless of what language it is that we all speak no the language to understand how witty and humorous and fun and open minded and culturally diverse those intros really are.
When you see "112 bags of marijuana" and just instantly know "4oz."
How small were the bags you pictured? It was 158 pounds of pot.
When your a Kentucky maga loving 60 year old and the best thing in your life is a gas station bathroom 😂
Spatulating? LOL
I've been eating crickets for years. They're delish!
My grandson got inside one of those machines too, but his mum was able to coax him back out again through the prize return. We thought it was just an Alex thing. (Maybe it's endemic to Australia, .😂)
After escaping from the coffins, you clean up in side-by-side bathtubs... ;-P
Stephen: Baked apple. How do you smuggle in an apple?
Me: Well, you see, she had one already prepared from earlier, like in the show. 😁
Did they really have to shatter glass to rescue that child? I mean the thing must open somewhere to refill it with stuffed animals. I’ll bet the top opens.
The world's biggest escape room is Earth.
When I was a small child, my father used to tell me that grocery store frozen pizza was contaminated with insect parts. In hindsight, maybe he just wanted to stop us asking for it.
He's not wrong, in fact he's probably underselling it. There's a touch of insect in _just about everything!_
You said "contaminated", i say "seasoned"
"How do you smuggle in an apple?"
It's a womens' prison, Stephen.
It would have to be a small apple...
This would killed on the show if Taylor Tomlinson just popped out of nowhere to say your line!
😂@@XiaoGuanYin104 You haven't been on the internet long, have you? 😂
The same way you bake it
So....in a handbag?
Best opening segment always.
Papa Johns has already been using insects in the pizza.
Arthropod flour, that’s definitely not cricket.
Actually, cricket flour is pretty good and a healthy source of protein 😊
If you eat sea cockroaches, aka shrimp, you are already WAY past that point
Ouch! 😅
@@mycosysactually lobster is the cockroach of the sea. Shrimp are more like sea termites.
@@colleenforrest7936so is hemp seed flour and it never used to be a bug, so...
I heard them chanting "Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!" 😂
Right on Italy. Entomophagy is based.
Stephen,Stephen,Stephen..as president!!! 🎉😂🎉
Martha Stewart smuggled in a baked apple pie disguised as a large nail file.
That is exactly what I thought people in Kentucky would act like with a news camera present 😂
"Press the button, set your balls in motion." Do you really want to be there?
"High seas"? You really paid your staff to write that joke?
Terrible mitzu.....
The "high seas" is a class A dad joke. I like it^^
Look, just think of eating crickets as eating the crabs or shrimp of the land. At least, that's what I tell myself I'll think of if I ever have to try some.
We've all most likely have already consumed insects in any bread/flour products, because there is an "acceptable level of insects" when the grain is harvested. Honestly it would be near impossible to grow enough grain/wheat without any bugs hidden in the fields.
OMFNG! The gift of gab! You got it Stephen!
Damn good sir, love that tie!
JERRY, JERRY, JERRY....Oh, I forgot....I mean: Stephen, Stephen, Stephen!!!!!!!
I can confirm that every time I want to restock my claw machine, I break the glass.
If you want to wait for the service guy who comes by once a week for the machine, and is probably not readily available, and let the kid be stuck in there for hours on end, rather than break a window of cheap safety glass, then you are probably okay with (at best) the kid peeing all over your merch whilst waiting, or (at worst) getting sued by the parents for trapping and terrifying their kid.
@@Jonathanizer whatever happened to Locksmiths?
@@tweaker1bms You do realize, that is more expensive than just breaking a single window of safety glass and have that replaced by the vendor that services these machines, right?
In most places, locksmiths take high rates for even just appearing, and then it's not even clear if he has the specialized equipment for this machine. Most locksmiths do house doors, maybe car doors or stand alone locks, but the mechanism for this machine might be a non-standard key/lock. Also a locksmith might still take an hour or two to appear, you really want to keep that kid in there for so long? That's guaranteed to antagonize the family, and risk negative consequences.
So, there are locksmiths, but this is not a good option here for many potential reasons.
Band was hot 🔥 tonight!
Italy - You never get to judge anyone's food ever again.
Two things I love about Stephen Colbert: 1) that horking-up-a-hairball noise he makes when discussing an unappetizing new foodstuff, and 2) the fact that his comic timing was just about as good when he had no audience or only a handful in the storage closet during COVID, as it is with a full live audience. Long may he have the latter!
I've been using claw machines wrong all my life...mistakes were made 🤦🏼♂
If you want cocaine on a cruise ship, a package is bound to float past off Florida. Just bring a hook to fish it out of the water.
To the x ray machines that used to be used in UK prisons, Semtex looks just the same texture as an apple. So, to smuggle Semtex, roll is into an apple shape. Maybe she was making a Semtex Pie?
So, freedom is not enough of a prize for a child stuck inside a claw machine…
It probably is, for the kid. The worker however just wanted to make sure not to get a bad review, lawsuit or whatever. You know how some parents are, when it comes to their kids, its everybody elses fault, "not little jimmys fault he got trapped and terrified in that machine". The toys they have there are mass produced garbage, it costs a few cent per unit to produce, and bad online reviews or a lawsuit are a nuisance to deal with. Smart move by the worker, and also completely common in the service industry to comp stuff, whenever there is a problem, irregardless of who cause the problem.
So good!
Love this
I've had some of the worst times of my life in restrooms. Hard to imagine an experience that could top some of the best times in my life.

Bug flour and whole bugs have been legal to sell for human consumption in the US for a while. You can get barbecue seasoned crickets, cotton candy flavored crickets, cricket protein bars, chocolate covered crickets, and cricket flour, not to mention other insects, arachnids, and worms
