Dua Lipa, everybody! Hello. How are you? Doing good? I love how you ran out here. That was so graceful. I know. Well, I heard you, and I was like, "I need to just go." ♪♪ Unh! Have you ever made a gingerbread house? I haven't, actually. Me neither, look, but that's actually what's happening right here. Have some freeze-dried hibiscus. Thank you. How about that? That's a treat. You know what I mean? Like, there's all these little Scooby snacks. I don't really like black licorice. I'm not gonna li
e to you. It really actually makes me...nauseous. Sure. [ Laughter ] This is Clovis. Hello. Can I get you some wine? Everyone's really giggling. Yeah, we're -- What's happening? We're high, we're high, sorry. What's happening? Are you allowed to smoke weed on television? No, right? I actually -- I don't smoke. All right, so you don't. Do you mind if I do? No, you -- you do it. I'm good. All right, good. Can you drink wine at this point? I can, yes. All right, good. I would love a glass of wine.
-This is crazy. -Cheers. That's such a great bottle. What else we got cooking up, man, 'cause I'm...hungry. I'm not gonna lie to you. Yeah? Yeah, yeah? I've been just picking. Oh, yeah, of course I want to do Dua's dish first. What are you making, my dear? All right, so I'm gonna make -- Are we making pite? We're making pite. Are you kidding me? Okay, so it's Mom's recipe in Albanian. Please, you're gonna have to read that. Do you speak Albanian? I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed. All right, all right. W
ell, I'll teach you some. All right, so these are like -- you mix everything together. Mm-hmm. And that's -- Say it in Albanian. [ Speaking Albanian ] Put a little salt, huh? Actually, can -- can I taste this? Yeah, tell me if there's enough...salt. Be honest. That's perfectly seasoned. You know, I didn't taste it. No, no, that's perfectly seasoned. But I know this... These three fingers. It's all you need. Just -- I know exactly how much shit needs. And we have some melted butter over there. I
love when butter is brushed onto glass. You could throw butter on me, rub it, shower me in it, yeah, slap me with it, throw it from about 75 yards and hit me in the head with it. All right. So, we're cheating here a little bit. This is gonna be good already. 'Cause we've got ready-made filo pastry. Hey, listen, this should taste good, too. Were there any singers or performers that you looked up to, Albanian singers or music like that? 'Cause I remember back in the day, we used to go to the parti
es and my cousins and everybody, all the uncles would be playing music and shit. You don't realize how dope that is until you get a little bit older. I didn't appreciate it until then. I don't know.

I'm gonna stop saying "make some noise." We're gonna just have something that says that because I'm sick of saying that. I say it in every episode and I look like a schmuck. Never. We're not gonna do that anymore. It was -- 18,000 people came to your first show in Pristina. Have you done a show there yet? Y
ou know what? I was supposed to go there seven times, but they're using my cousins as booking agents, and you know how that goes. Right, it's a family affair. It's never good. It's like 10 different cousins try to do the -- like, it keeps on falling through. These...guys. It's not working. Touring's been fun, but I'm kind of -- I'm ready for Christmas. I'm ready to go. You're ready to just chill. On my Christmas list? You know what? I just want to sit on my couch and do absolute...all. You know,
that's pretty much the best thing. That is really amazing. ♪♪ Okay, this is completely ruined, I think. I don't know how we're gonna use this. Don't worry about it. Watch this. We've been -- We've been cooking this one for a minute. Watch this. -Look at that. -Oh, my God. Wow. Those edges are nice and crispy. Look at what you did. We did that together. Let's get into it. Is it all right? How you feeling? Yeah, let's stop...around and let's get into this thing. You want that outside to be togeth
er, but then the inside, you can see every single...layer. Mmm. That's ridiculous. Very happy with the way this came out. It's...crazy. It's, like, quick and easy and it reminds you of home when you've been so far away for so long. Exactly. Isn't that really what you always really just want? Yeah, you just want something that's so comforting. ♪♪ We're ready for this electrifying performance. I think -- You want to jam a little bit? Play some shit together.

That was incredible. That accordion is -- When you get an accordion in a party, you know it's gonna -- you know it's going down. We have to work out, and then we're gonna eat more food! Dua: Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, for sure. You should try that. Woman: Just take a -- take a bit of -- we're ready to play. -We'
re about to do this. -I feel like it's a game, but we're really gonna get fit. So, I'm gonna get fit today? -Yes. -All right. So, we're gonna start by showing you something. How does that sound? Okay. I'd love to see something. [ "Toccata in D" plays ] Man: Turn it up. Dale: ...very much back in the day. You want to jam with the band? Dude, is this serious? We're gonna play a solo here.

Shit we -- The thing is -- [ Vocalizing ] We shoot up and kill. So you... [ Vocalizing ] So, we doing this. Every time you go hunting, it's like an M.O.P. song. [ Vocalizing ] Get that fool! That's... So, you killed the rabbit listening to M.O.P.? Yeah, for sure. And then I had to take it to tandoori world and, like,
that's my thing. Is there such a thing as tandoori world? Yeah, yeah. It's called 50 Bowery at the Rice and Gold restaurant, 'cause that's how we do things here. There we go. There we go. There we go. We do product placement. That's what we do, no. You know, what we're trying to do at the restaurant, Rice and Gold, is we're trying to take these familiar things and just trying to make it look, you know, our style. So, vindaloo -- funny you came. I know you've had tons of vindaloo. So we made thes
e meatballs -- polpette. What does rabbit eat when it's farm-raised? Corn. So, what we did was we took masa, re-hydrated it with water and a little bit of cream, and that's basically our panade for these rabbit meatballs. Oh, shit. So, what makes them tender and succulent and juicy and delicious is this. That's crazy. You're sick. So, it's rabbit meat, and we're just gonna deep fry them for a second. Who doesn't like food that's kind of put into a deep fryer? Anything deep fried. We deep fry the

It's cumin, coriander... That makes me happy. ...cardamom, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder. We just want it to be really, really, like, kind of spiced and seasoned, and then we take this beautiful vindaloo broth -- Let me taste that vindaloo broth. This is basically tamarind juice and spices, a
little bit of coconut milk, a little bit of butter, a little bit of cream. It's meant to be quite spicy, isn't it? Yes. And, you know, it's a little bit deceiving, right? It looks just like a basic tomato sauce. Yep. But it has these complex flavors of cumin and coriander. That's amazing. So, what we do is basically take this rabbit and we're just basically gonna put it right into this broth. Action: Oh, my lord, you're an animal. Basically, after three or four hours, the meat is fall-apart tend
er. Just finish it with some stuff that we like -- we like to eat, right? Some butternut squash, Asian pears, crispy Brussels sprout that we deep fried. Yeah. Some cilantro.

It smells -- It smells like a bowl of ramen, kind of. Oh, my God. It's got -- It's got, like, beef bouillon and honey and smoke and mushrooms. I can smell that before I drink it. This is, like, super funky. I never want to smell that again. Now I'm gonna give you the same sake a little bit warm. Like
mushroom. Shit. Oh, I don't -- I don't like that. I got to be honest, that one wasn't for me either. All right, I have something much easier on you to have next. Oh, wow, what is this?

ket. You got stiffed, son! All right, listen. So, you didn't like the funky sake, right? It's not that I didn't like it. It was too much -- It made me nauseous. Okay, that means -- I feel like that means you didn't like it. No, it didn't make me -- No, I like things that make me nauseous. Like what? Like... deep sea fishing. [ Laughter ] Like, that's honest.

to be waxed. I like to be thrown with hot wax. Really? I like to be beaten with spikes. I could've prepared in a totally different way for this. This is, like, the grand cru of sake. It has a little bit of a floral kind of -- I hate when people say licorice. I like to say Pastis or fennel or -- And I got to be honest with you, I despise that flavor. Are you serious? Okay, fine.
