## Transcript

Hi, Joel. How are you? I'm good. So, I was totally into the cookbook you made. [ MUSIC ] There are 20 really horrible governors that don't care about children. It's just that I think they're busy. No! Like when, no the governor of California sent you won. Governor or Texas, they're the most busy. Governor Cuomo from New York, he didn't send anything, right? Right. Not okay. Also, like West Virginia. Well, did you get an A? Well, it wasn't really graded. It was more for like yourself. I hate modern school. You wanna watch me and give me advice as we cook? Sure, which, which recipe are you cooking?

We decided to cook, cuz I'm from New Jersey, we're gonna cook Chris Christie's recipe. Okay, the first thing I'm gonna do is combine half a cup of butter. All right, we're just gonna. All right, this is kind of, it looks like something Chris Christie would eat. [ MUSIC ] Okay, so then we're gonna put this on top. Oh yeah, that's the sugar. I am worried about Chris Christie. Is it this may blueberries? Well, that's nice. This is healthy. Yeah, that's nice. Oh, spilled it all over my computer. [ MUSIC ] Add a little bit of salt. [ MUSIC ] It's kind of mistake. This is not gonna come out very well cuz I used the wrong size dish.

In fact, it's not gonna be as pretty. [ INAUDIBLE ] but it's the same idea. All right, and then we're gonna put this in the oven. You just stay right there for an hour and a half. Is that gonna be a problem or is that fine? [ MUSIC ] I take back everything I've ever thought about [ UNKNOWN ]. This is delicious. All right, well thank you for the cookbook. I think America is gonna enjoy the cookbook. I think we're gonna learn a lot about our governors. And, and which governors, you know, don't care about education and children, like New York's Andrew Cuomo? I hope you'll enjoy it too. Thank you so much Laura.

You can leave your chair now. [ MUSIC ]
