Rome was awe-inspiring -- truly unforgettable sights, palpable history, and the food ... Stephen was not exaggerating. It will make you want to weep. I was not prepared for the let-down of coming home after that.. haha. But Venice really did me in. I loved it so much there - the climate, the water, the quirky alleys.. I could tell the people there would probably rather not see another visitor (sorry!), but it's a popular place for a reason. I took one of my favorite photographs ever there, and if I could be anywhere in the world...
That intro began so nerdy I giggled like a little boy just to take a turn so vividly descriptive and captivating I swear I felt my teeth hurting. What a ride.
As someone who grew up in a midwestern family that was very religious, I can attest that I never once saw "popcorn salad" at a potluck. I would think after two decades of potlucking, I would have come across it, if it is a "classic midwestern dish that you would often find at a church basement potluck." It certainly doesn't look like something that can be forgotten.
Maybe the "Midwest" that lady was talking about was Gilead. I've eaten it, but not at a potluck. My mom would make it as a way to stretch some veggies into a meal (she used buttermilk and Cool-Whip rather than sour cream and real mayo). Also, no watercress on top. At least it was filling, if not that nutritious. Edit: Oops. I meant Miracle Whip. I haven't had to eat that stuff in years...not surprised I forgot!
Same here... born and raised christian and Midwesterner and never ever have I seen such a mess. As some might say in the Midwest, no thank you, dontchaknow?! :P
I'll admit I was also a little freaked out by the arrest video. Not one of the officers had a weapon in hand and the guy being arrested was still able to walk.
Though I have to point out that Mr. Floyd wasn't killed with a weapon. Whether the police is weaponized or not just change their sense of entitlement to kill people, it just changes the number of victims. :-( Sorry to be a bit of a downer, just a bit dispirited today.
Okay so not to be joking, I'm from Bitche and that news reaching Steven Colbert made my day. Also, the US troops who liberated this city in 1945 are nicknamed the "Sons of Bitche", 100th Infantry Division. Much love to y'all from France !
Is anyone else wondering about how soggy it can get? You have to eat it immediately! Which I doubt is happening. Can you imagine the texture of popcorn sitting in Mayo? 🥴
As someone from the UK I do generally love 'Murica for all the great things you bring to the world - including your many great late night shows. But the ability to turn salad from "something with lots of leaves" to "anything covered in mayonnaise" is definitely in my most baffling list.
as someone living in the midwest US, this is the first time i heard of popcorn salad. the only mayo/dressing-based salads I've came across are: tuna fish, chicken, bologna, crab, egg, macaroni, potato, and tomato/cucumber... and they are side dishes, sometimes put on a sandwich, but not recommended as a whole meal.
also good taste - proper judgement, maturity, one foot in the real world of the grownups who don't think a man with a white beard is sitting on the cloud watching them - etc etc, the list goes on and on
Colbert echoed exactly what my wonderful late father said after a trip to Italy: "Anywhere you go, walk down the street, go into a great little restaurant."
Lived in Italy and not only was the food incredible, but I lost weight because you walk everywhere. Gelato to die for, spaghetti carbonara out of this world, and happy, vibrant people.
Not sure what the big deal is. It's still salad, but with popcorn instead of croutons. I certainly prefer it to the whole "Let's waste chocolate by pouring it on popcorn" movement.
@@jackboot3946 Plain, air popped popcorn is pretty healthy, since it's mostly air but still filling. But there is nothing healthy about anything slathered in mayo.
As a lifelong Midwesterner I disavow popcorn salad. I was born in Missouri, grew up in Iowa, spent a lot of time in Minnesota, and now live in Wisconsin, and this video is the first time I have ever heard of popcorn salad. That lady is crazy.
If popcorn salad has been showing up in basements of church pot-luck events, this means the parishioners spent most of the morning getting shit-faced before they drove over.
of the many things i find endearing about jon, i think what i appreciate most is just how responsive he is. he always pays full attention to what is said to him in conversation, no matter how insignificant it may sometimes seem, validates it, and responds genuinely and with his characteristic positive attitude to life. what an amazing trait to have in a world where most of us constantly strive to try to be more present. jon is just a precious human being - i hope one day i learn how to inhabit a similar kind of calm and genuine presence of mind.
I have been in the midwest for almost 30 years now. I have NEVER ONCE IN MY LIFE heard of or seen "popcorn salad" such as what she's created there. I will grant you, I don't go to churches, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't expect to see it outside of the sky wizard cult buildings, and I would be surprised to hear if anyone I knew had ever heard of it either.
Wouldn't be surprised if by Midwest she means Utah. The weirdness of Mormon food is so hard to deny they put it in their own rap song - Mormon rap. Vegetables suspended in various types of jello is mild.
Talking about the first place you’re gonna travel to after all of this is over is like when I was in jail, and I would ask people what was the first thing they wanted to eat when they got out.
Sometimes the audience energy really helps. but to abandon what they've built this year would be a crying shame. Mondays and Fridays audience with 3 days no audience could be good.
He's good with an audience too, I just hope his wife will become a permanent fixture and still be there when he goes back to being in front of an audience.
It's not her idea: I found a recipe online in a 2015 issue of _Minnesota Monthly._ They credit it to the Popcorn Board, so my guess is that it's one of those dumb ideas that marketing people have when they're trying to sell a product that's just completely obvious but "Dude, it's popcorn. Eat and enjoy" isn't going to please the boss.
Seriously, the gold of Quarantinewhile is the flashy underrated skills of the writer, with a different description of the segment each time. From one writer to another: *slow clap*

That "Bitche" incident is a really old and famous computer science problem, also called the Scunthorpe problem... Tom Scott has a great video on this, where he's explaining all of this in the beautiful British hamlet of Penistone. Yep.

I'm from the Midwest...seen all kinds of salads brought to churches, picnics, family gatherings and pot lucks...never in all my life have I seen popcorn in any kind of salad...in 50 plus years. Please!
1. Americone Dream is still my favorite Ben & Jerry's pint. 2. I've been to a lot of midwestern church potlucks and ain't never seen no popcorn salad. 🤮
Stephen, after finally making the journey, walks down a typically picturesque Italian street, stops into the first restaurant that catches his eye, and sits at the table as the waiter approaches. "Garcon," he says with a flourish, "bring me your finest specialty." The waiter nods and briskly walks away to carry out the order. A few minutes later, the waiter approaches, dish in hand, and announces with gusto, "Here you are, signore. Our finest meal: insalata di popcorn con follia vegetale lubrificata. Enjoy!"
I have lived in the Midwest for 32 years and was active in the church for most of it. I have never seen or heard of popcorn salad until now. This sounds like one of those weird recipes that had previously never left Minnesota, and for good reason.
Funny you should mention Minnesota... I Googled for popcorn salad and Molly Yeh's recipe isn't the only one out there, so it's not something she invented. One recipe I found was from a 2015 issue of _Minnesota Monthly_ and they credit it to the Popcorn Board. So, it sounds to me like it's not any kind of "traditional" recipe but, rather, something that was made up by popcorn marketers in an attempt to be... something. I don't know what. Because, you know, once people feel the need to _market_ popcorn, they can't just say, "Look, you know what popcorn is. It tastes good. You like it. Why not eat some?"
I love the care and passion which goes into crafting an artisanal and unique intro for each week's "Quarantinewhile". It may partially explain why there doesn't always seem to be a lot of time spent on the selection of articles.
Couldn't we have started with robot hamsters? Budgies, maybe? Not something that could run us down in the street like an episode of Black Mirror come to life?
Poor Spot. It just wants to help, but as soon as police departments buy it and mount a microphone on its back, it starts getting compared to black mirror antics and getting mean comments made about it. :(
7:29 - "Deeznuts-on-Heath"? Seriously? You couldn't find a real UK town to namecheck, like Bitchfield, Fanny Barks, Cockintake, Bushygap, Boggy Bottom, Bishops Itchington, Dicks Mount, Nob End, Scratchy Bottom.....(I could go on for ages).
As a midwesterner who went to church every sunday for the first 18 years of my life, you would not find that monstrosity at a church potluck. IDK what church she's been going to...

Is it just me or can anyone else hear the joy in Jon Batiste's soul when he hits them keys?
I'm from the Midwest...seen all kinds of salads brought to churches, picnics, family gatherings and pot lucks...never in all my life have I seen popcorn in any kind of salad...in 50 plus years.
Please!
1. Americone Dream is still my favorite Ben & Jerry's pint.
2. I've been to a lot of midwestern church potlucks and ain't never seen no popcorn salad. 🤮
That... was some intro.
Stephen, after finally making the journey, walks down a typically picturesque Italian street, stops into the first restaurant that catches his eye, and sits at the table as the waiter approaches. "Garcon," he says with a flourish, "bring me your finest specialty." The waiter nods and briskly walks away to carry out the order.
A few minutes later, the waiter approaches, dish in hand, and announces with gusto, "Here you are, signore. Our finest meal: insalata di popcorn con follia vegetale lubrificata. Enjoy!"
🤣🤣🤣👍
I have lived in the Midwest for 32 years and was active in the church for most of it. I have never seen or heard of popcorn salad until now. This sounds like one of those weird recipes that had previously never left Minnesota, and for good reason.
Funny you should mention Minnesota... I Googled for popcorn salad and Molly Yeh's recipe isn't the only one out there, so it's not something she invented. One recipe I found was from a 2015 issue of _Minnesota Monthly_ and they credit it to the Popcorn Board. So, it sounds to me like it's not any kind of "traditional" recipe but, rather, something that was made up by popcorn marketers in an attempt to be... something. I don't know what. Because, you know, once people feel the need to _market_ popcorn, they can't just say, "Look, you know what popcorn is. It tastes good. You like it. Why not eat some?"
I love that he caught the "knock wood" and did it.
Nope. No. Never saw popcorn salad at any potluck anywhere in the Midwest.
I love the care and passion which goes into crafting an artisanal and unique intro for each week's "Quarantinewhile". It may partially explain why there doesn't always seem to be a lot of time spent on the selection of articles.
Couldn't we have started with robot hamsters? Budgies, maybe? Not something that could run us down in the street like an episode of Black Mirror come to life?
Ikr? I remember that episode and I could just about live with "Terminator Budgies"
Poor Spot. It just wants to help, but as soon as police departments buy it and mount a microphone on its back, it starts getting compared to black mirror antics and getting mean comments made about it. :(
google the robot bees they're working on. they actually function in a swarm with hive mentality. i find that even scarier.
@@nonyabizness.original Please god no! That was ALSO a Black Mirror episode. The only thing worse than that are robotic flying snakes.
THAT INTRO LOLOL
AND the police dog song? This episode is clearly a blessing
7:29 - "Deeznuts-on-Heath"? Seriously? You couldn't find a real UK town to namecheck, like Bitchfield, Fanny Barks, Cockintake, Bushygap, Boggy Bottom, Bishops Itchington, Dicks Mount, Nob End, Scratchy Bottom.....(I could go on for ages).
Lived in the midwest more than 50 years and NEVER heard of or seen anything like a popcorn salad.
Just had Americone Dream yesterday. Getting some today too for indulgences.
glad to have Stephen on a Fri night
Too true about Italy eats. Was there many years ago and ate NOTHING except pasta pomodoro for lunch and dinner. Divine!
That had to be the longest lead-in to this segment in vivid, mathematical nerd-style.
Never heard of this salad...been in the midwest for many many years. That salad is an affront to salads everywhere.
@laurie rotavarp
Hellz. Yeah. It. Is.
John makes my heart smile . Good luck and God Speed John!
naww i'm so proud of Jon
cheese and rice Stephen, that run on sentence introducing quarentinwhile via math was nuts
We'd love to have Jon in NZ, he'd be more than welcome here.
Just wondering, what is the immigration policy to NZ? I'm tired of the mass shootings in the USA.
Next time my students ask why they have to learn maths I'm going to show them this clip.
And if they still refuse, threaten to make them eat popcorn salad!
Dogecop: You have 20 seconds to be a good boy!
You now have 10 seconds to rub my belly
I imagine it'll be like the robot dog from Futurama: "Commencing 20 minutes of yipping."
For us, math people out there, that was the best intro ever!
Me, earlier today: "hmm, I feel like a big salad for dinner, but what do I want on it?" Me, after watching this: "Okay, NOT that!"
As a midwesterner who went to church every sunday for the first 18 years of my life, you would not find that monstrosity at a church potluck. IDK what church she's been going to...
Don't worry. It's closed. 😑
From the Midwest, grew up Christian, and I’ve never seen that trash in any church gathering 🤣🤣🤣
Obviously, you go to the wrong church. No, wait. The right church.
I just love conversations with John Batiste! Music just flows out of his fingers. 🎶
Contemporary musicians: forget the cowbell, we need more chick-a-chick-a-booms.
