Chef Emily Brubaker, Executive Chef at Omni La Costa, recently won NBC's "Yes, Chef" competition and joined the show to talk about her experience on the show, what made her want to become a chef, how she and her husband balance parenthood with their careers, the significance of plating in the age of Instagram, and the mental health struggles that almost every chef goes through.

After talking with Chef Emily, the guys talk about the new additions coming to San Diego FC and laugh at a Los Angeles politician who doesn't understand how the World Cup works.
