00:00Anytime there's a story involving bacon, they want to send me an alert.
00:05Bacon? Oh my God, and what?
00:08This is amazing. I can't believe I've never thought of this.
00:11Is this a bacon hack? Is that what you call this?
00:15This is a bacon hack.
00:17I think I could probably list, on one hand, the number of things that completely changed and revolutionized my life.
00:23Listen to this audio.
00:25This is wonderful.
00:26Have you tried this?
00:28I will. I will. This is my plan this week. I saw this last night. I saw this last night for the first time.
00:32Oh, so you haven't tried this yet?
00:32This is my entire weekend activity. I'm calling in sick to General RV this weekend so I can sit at home and make this bacon.
00:39Let me tell you right now that, hey, Coop, can you get this up on our website? Can you get the video up? Is it up yet or no?
00:46I'll do that right now.
00:46All right. You got to get this video up. Folks, this looks amazing.
00:52You know what? I might walk out of the show right now and just go home and try this.
00:56I know.
00:56Fester, you just brought this to me in the last half an hour and I can't think of anything else but this.
01:04I am so distracted right now.
01:07Listen to this audio from the Tic Tac, the Tic Tac and the Tic Tac.
01:12It actually, you say Tic Tac. It is a Midwesterner again with this crazy kooky idea.
01:17Listen to this audio from this Tic Tac video regarding bacon.
01:21Apparently, twisted bacon is the new food trend on Tic Tac. Do a cooling rack on a baking sheet, then twist up your bacon like this.
01:29In this goes to your oven, 375 degrees, 30, 35 minutes. It was the crispiest and chewiest bacon I've ever had. Follow me for more.
01:37Wow. How can it be crispiest and chewiest?
01:40That's the point.
01:42Yeah, exactly.
01:43My mind is blown.
01:46It's twisted up. It looks like a, it's like a bacon pencil.
01:50It's like a Twizzler.
01:51Yes.
01:52Like a, oh, so you put a stick in the middle, I guess, and twist it?
01:55No, no, no, no, you don't.
01:57All right, here's the deal.
01:58You take a strip of bacon and then you twist it like you're making a braid or something.
02:03You twist it like you're doing a, like a Tootsie Roll wrapper or something.
02:08You just twist it.
02:09You take the long strip of bacon and you start at one end and you just keep twisting it and you turn it into a Twizzler.
02:16I mean, that's the best description.
02:18Yeah, like twirl it like you twirl your hair, long hair.
02:21You just twist the whole thing so you have twists in the whole length of the strip of bacon.
02:25Then you take the bacon and you put it on a cooling rack.
02:29That's the wire mesh rack like Michelle has when she makes cakes and stuff.
02:33She dumps it out of the mold and you put it on the cooling rack.
02:37To frost it.
02:37Right, so you take the wire mesh cooling rack.
02:41Then you put that on top of the baking sheet.
02:44You put it in your oven with the twisted bacon.
02:47And oh my God, these look like unbelievable cylinders of the most delicious thing that I've ever seen in my life.
03:00You'd actually get more bacon per bite because you'd be twisted up.
03:03You can fit a lot more bacon on the pan.
03:06I mean, a normal sheet pan, you could fit what, about a pound of bacon?
03:09Here you could probably fit three or four pounds of bacon.
03:12Hey, twisted lemonade, step off.
03:16All right?
03:17Gone.
03:18These look like dog trees for humans.
03:19Oh my God.
03:20These look like, yeah, human begging strips.
03:23Seriously.
03:24Bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon.
03:26Okay.
03:26So now, MJ.
03:27Yes.
03:28Now we have to just roll.
03:29I'm going to cry.
03:30This looks so good.
03:31I'm going to cry.
03:31I know.
03:31Why aren't we making some right now?
03:33Why are we at work today when we can be home making these?
03:35Oh my God.
03:36Fester, you have just distracted me beyond belief.
03:40This looks absolutely.
03:42How many people are going to be trying it this weekend?
03:44Can you whip up some bacon here?
03:45Oh my God.
03:46I've got to do this.
03:46I'm not a psychic, but I can think of one radio morning show host that will probably be doing
03:51an Instagram video from his kitchen this weekend making twisted bacon.
03:56Damn right are you.
03:57How good was that bacon?
03:58Oh, dude.
03:58It was twisted.
03:59It was literally twisted.
04:01So if you roll bacon, MJ, with a little bit of brown sugar, you get candied bacon.
04:06Oh, don't ruin it with that.
04:07Are you kidding me?
04:08Oh my God.
04:09Nothing ruins it.
04:11It's fantastic.
04:11I know Michelle's sleeping.
04:13I usually don't call her this early.
04:14This is worth waking up for.
04:15Oh my God.
04:17Oh my God.
04:22Ever whips them up with some biscuits?
04:24Hello?
04:25Are you sleeping by any chance?
04:28Yeah.
04:28All right.
04:29Michelle, I need you to get out of bed right now.
04:31I need you to go down to the kitchen, and I need you to get your little cake cooling rack
04:35out.
04:35Get it out right now.
04:36Get ready.
04:37Get ready.
04:38For what?
04:39For what?
04:41Twisted freaking bacon.
04:44Getting with it.
04:45Twisted bacon.
04:47Yeah, listen.
04:48This weekend, you and MJ are going to be making bacon all weekend.
04:52Oh my God.
04:53He's bringing the bacon home today.
04:55Michelle, it's revolutionary.
04:56You take the bacon, and you twist it up so it looks like a long strand, and then you bake
05:01it.
05:02Oh my God.
05:03Michelle, there's this new bacon hack that Fester brought in.
05:06You take a strip of bacon, and you twist it.
05:09You start at one end, and you twist the whole thing so it looks like a Twizzler, and then
05:14you put it on one of the cooling racks on top of a regular rack, and you bake it.
05:19And look, Michelle, this could be the most delicious looking thing I've ever seen in my
05:25life.
05:25So I need you to prep right now.
05:27Get out of bed.
05:28Go get the cooling rack.
05:29You've got the cake cooling rack, right?
05:32I've got a couple.
05:33All right.
05:33So you need a baking sheet.
05:35We put it on the baking sheet.
05:36Then we twist up the bacon.
05:37We bake it.
05:38Do we have a temperature?
05:39What makes it so good just by twisting it, Fester?
05:42You're a grilling type.
05:43Well, first of all, it would give you more crunchy material.
05:45You could pick it up more easily.
05:47Oh my God.
05:47You get more bacon in your mouth per bite.
05:50That's true.
05:50If you eat one inch bite of bacon in a non-twisted piece of bacon, you just get a couple of
05:55bacon.
05:55I'm leaving now.
05:56Seriously.
05:56I'm going.
05:57Just go get some bacon and bring it back and make some.
05:59Hey, Michelle, get everything ready.
06:01I'm coming home right now.
