  So, the summer began on June 20th, but now we're in July.
• 0:04
  What better way to kick off July than to talk about the two greatest things
• 0:08
  that I know Dr. E and I like to talk about?
• 0:11
  Food and food. Oh, yeah, and food.
• 0:15
  It's 4th of July week. We're here. We're going to have a good time.
• 0:19
  We're going to talk about different types of food, different things that we like to do.
• 0:22
  Dr. E is back, and he's got a better tan than I do. Have faith,
• 0:25
  let it begin. Starts right now.
• 0:30
  It's Monday, and you know what that means. Welcome to Have Faith. Let it begin.
• 0:38
  Podcast of inspiration. It's a podcast of hope.
• 0:43
  It's a podcast of faith, and it's a podcast of friendship.
• 0:47
  Here is your host, Angel Santana, and special co-host, Dr. E.
• 0:53
  We're a three-part class time. That's it, man. Let's rock and roll. in three, two, one.
• 1:00
  Hello, everyone, and welcome to Have Faith Let It Begin. Dr.
• 1:03
  E is back after a nice long, well, it seemed long. It was long for me.
• 1:08
  And now you have the best tan ever, my friend. How are you, buddy?
• 1:12
  Everything is great. I just took a week off and just had the greatest time ever
• 1:16
  just down the Jersey Shore, just enjoying the waves and the beach and just the whole thing.
• 1:22
  And I want to tell you, Angel, I feel that we haven't seen each other forever
• 1:25
  because now I'm looking at a 25-year-old slim, beautiful, angelic version of Angel Santana.
• 1:35
  What have you done with my fat friend, Angel Santana is what I want to know.
• 1:39
  First of all, I'm pale compared to you right now.
• 1:41
  And when this gets to air as in video, they're going to know what I'm talking about.
• 1:46
  So listen, as I stated last week,
• 1:49
  I came out and told everybody that I was diagnosed as a pre-diabetic.
• 1:52
  Really, it's not even pre-diabetic. I'm a diabetic.
• 1:56
  And, you know, we decided to go in a different direction and get healthier.
• 2:01
  And I've said that for eight years on this show.
• 2:04
  But now, you know, when you talk about diabetes and when you talk about really
• 2:08
  knowing what your body is capable of doing in a negative way,
• 2:13
  you have to turn it around and say, okay,
• 2:15
  I got two kids and that's my motivation. So I've joined the gym.
• 2:19
  I've got, I did an episode called meet Ralph, my new trainer.
• 2:22
  And I'm in the gym now three days a week. I'm sore, but I feel good.
• 2:27
  And I've lost a total of, let me see. I went from two 38.
• 2:31
  I'm down to two 14. So that's like 20 something pounds, 22 pounds.
• 2:35
  You look, you look amazing and you look healthy and you look happy and God bless you.
• 2:40
  So, you know, now, since we went through the whole health thing,
• 2:43
  let's talk about what we're going to do for the July 4th weekend to be unhealthy.
• 2:47
  Yeah. You know, honestly, I'm still eating the same way. People are going to
• 2:50
  say, well, wait a minute, what are you going to do with the holidays?
• 2:52
  Right. I mean, I'm still eating what I want to eat.
• 2:55
  It's just portion control. So, you know, what am I going to eat?
• 2:58
  Listen, I'm going to have a burger. I'm just going to put a lettuce on that
• 3:00
  burger. I'm going to have pizzas, a thin crust pizza, pepperoni, everything on it.
• 3:07
  Hot dogs. You can't talk about 4th of July without hot dogs.
• 3:10
  Nathan's, come on. My favorite day of the year is to eat hot dogs on 4th of July.
• 3:16
  Oh, man. Now, here's a quick question. My dad bugs me about this.
• 3:19
  He gets upset about this.
• 3:21
  What do you put on a hot dog?
• 3:24
  If anyone on this podcast mentions the word ketchup, you are no longer allowed
• 3:30
  to listen to this podcast.
• 3:32
  Mustard is what goes on a hot dog. It would be un-American and it would be communist,
• 3:38
  socialist, fascist, and anarchist thinking to put ketchup on a hot dog.
• 3:44
  How about ketchup and mustard?
• 3:46
  That's even more of a commie dog. You can't be eating ketchup on a hot dog.
• 3:53
  Let's be honest. Listen, mustard on a hot dog is the best, but if you like ketchup,
• 3:57
  I don't see what's wrong about it.
• 3:59
  My mother-in-law, God bless her soul, was a ketchup fiend on hot dogs,
• 4:04
  and I loved her to death, but if she had one flaw, it was the fact that she
• 4:09
  put ketchup on her hot dog.
• 4:10
  Oh, man. Well, all right. Now, in New England, when I was in New England,
• 4:14
  they called them wieners.
• 4:15
  Yes. Let me tell you something. I have had a fully loaded hot dog,
• 4:20
  or they call it wieners over there, with onions.
• 4:23
  You name it. The whole shebang on it. And let me tell you, they fill you up and they're thin.
• 4:29
  Well, there are many ways that you could dress a hot dog and I will give you
• 4:32
  one instance where I will allow ketchup on a hot dog.
• 4:36
  Okay, please do. In Newark, New Jersey, they have a loaded hot dog that's in
• 4:39
  this big sort of big pita pocket and they throw this fried hot dog in there
• 4:43
  and then they throw onions and potatoes and peppers and salt and pepper and onions and ketchup.
• 4:51
  And in that case, I will definitely give forgiveness because there's potatoes
• 4:56
  and there's all that other kind of crap that's in there. So that's called the
• 4:59
  Johnny D hot dog out of Newark, New Jersey.
• 5:02
  My particular favorite is what's called the Texas wiener that was born and invented
• 5:08
  in Patterson, New Jersey.
• 5:10
  Why they called it a Texas wiener. God only knows probably to sound very worldly
• 5:14
  and very exotic, but basically it's a chili sauce with onions and,
• 5:20
  and mustard on a, on a, on a, on a fried hot dog.
• 5:23
  And then you have the, what's called the, you have the, you know,
• 5:27
  the poppers or you have these things called the snappers where they go into the, the rippers.
• 5:32
  I think they'd call them where you go down a ruts hut down in,
• 5:34
  on route 21 and in a Passaic and you go to this most disgusting little,
• 5:39
  you know, hole in the wall right next to the river with all the rats and everything.
• 5:44
  And you go in and you get these rippers and there's these hot dogs that are.
• 5:47
  Basically exploding and popping all over the place because they're in this hot oil.
• 5:53
  And then you have the famous, you know, the kosher style dogs with that grainy
• 5:58
  dark mustard. I mean, I could go on forever, but that's like,
• 6:02
  that's like when you go to the baseball games and they're outside and you get that dirty water.
• 6:07
  Yeah. What do they call it? You call it the, they call it the,
• 6:09
  uh, the, the dirty water dogs.
• 6:11
  Oh, but they're so good. And then what's better than eating a hot dog at a baseball game?
• 6:16
  Oh, let's. Well, we're not going to get into that. We'll have to talk about
• 6:19
  a day in the life with Ian L.A. Don't let Ian L.A.
• 6:23
  Take you to a baseball game. I'm still hurting from that. Okay.
• 6:27
  That's another episode. Angel, if the Mets ever decide to win a game or two,
• 6:30
  we're going back to the stadium. Oh, God almighty. You can't eat for a week.
• 6:35
  So, all right. So, what is your favorite part about, we've talked about hot
• 6:39
  dogs, but if you could sum up a barbecue style 4th of July event,
• 6:44
  what is the two main food groups you're going to go to aside from a hot dog
• 6:49
  that you look forward to?
• 6:52
  So then we go to burgers because now we go to burgers. No doubt about it.
• 6:55
  Everybody's hungry this morning.
• 6:57
  Everybody's going to have a hamburger and a hot dog. So you told me one more.
• 7:01
  So I get a third choice. Yeah. Third choice.
• 7:03
  So I'm going to get off of the whole tubular food structure.
• 7:08
  Like I'm not going to talk about sausage. I'm not going to talk about kielbasa.
• 7:11
  I'm going to go to chicken. I'm going to go to a barbecued chicken leg that's
• 7:17
  been marinated in some soy sauce and some honey and some ginger.
• 7:21
  And we're going to throw that on a grill and then throw some barbecue sauce
• 7:25
  on it. And it's going to look like just, it came out of Martha Stewart's oven.
• 7:29
  You know what I've just got it into? Corn on the grill.
• 7:33
  Oh, now you're talking about accoutrements, an entirely different podcast,
• 7:39
  because we then talk about baked beans and molasses, and we're going to talk about corn on the cob,
• 7:45
  and we're going to talk about tomato salads, and we're going to go in and coleslaw
• 7:49
  and potato salad. Yeah, man.
• 7:51
  Angel, I just gained that 26 pounds that you just lost listening to you talk
• 7:56
  about food. But you know what? Something you want to hear something? There's a message here.
• 8:00
  Tell me. The message is, it's just like when Christ sat down with his disciples.
• 8:07
  Every single day, every single journey, every path that they made to spread
• 8:12
  the word, you know what they always made time for? Tell me.
• 8:16
  To eat together. Yes. They made time, even when they didn't have that much,
• 8:21
  when they had just little bits, whether everybody just gave a little bit of
• 8:25
  pecans, a couple pecans in their hands, and that was their meal.
• 8:29
  Some of them gave to others that were weaker and they just sat around,
• 8:34
  listened to each other and enjoyed each other's company.
• 8:38
  And that's what we want you to do on this 4th of July weekend is getting together
• 8:43
  with your family, getting together with your loved ones and honoring and celebrating
• 8:48
  our independence day in the greatest country ever. And that is the United States of America.
• 8:53
  So let us. Angel, before you pray, I just want to tell everybody,
• 8:57
  I agree with you entirely.
• 8:58
  And if the question ever gets posed to me, what would I choose on 4th of July, my hot dogs or my family?
• 9:06
  It would be my family, but it would be a close, close decision.
• 9:11
  And that would definitely be another podcast. Let's pray.
• 9:15
  And before we go into the prayer, our brave men and women who serve this country,
• 9:21
  foreign and domestic, this is also a nice way of saying thank you.
• 9:25
  And we honor you and the vets as well. Heavenly Father, we thank you for today.
• 9:29
  As we celebrate our weekend here, get away, and we're celebrating Monday, 4th of July week.
• 9:34
  And just, you know, even coming back to work on a Monday, we still have to enjoy
• 9:39
  the fact of what we spent our time and our good moments, and that is being together.
• 9:45
  We're asking you now to be our comfort. And of course, for all those that put
• 9:50
  on some extra weight, allow us to get back into the gym and get back to the
• 9:53
  big routines that we're in and not to feel guilty about having a good time because that's the key.
• 10:00
  Think about all the good times and we'll concentrate on the calories later.
• 10:04
  May God be with you. May he shine his light upon you and grant each and every
• 10:07
  single one of you, including the hot dogs with ketchup and mustard,
• 10:11
  okay, with mustard only, a happy and safe Fourth of July week.
• 10:15

• 10:19
