Clearly was a house spider.

I learned there's actually a spider called a "house spider". They call it that because "huge ass nightmare size spider" was too long.

I guess they're pretty chill, though.

Nah, they call it a "house spider" because the hugeass ones are called "giant house spiders". They're really fast, and try to hide in shadows, so they'll run straight for you and it freaks people out.

And that’s why women are more comfortable around bears, because they’re considerate of spiders. Reflect on your mistakes, human men

Odd comment because I get immediate fight or flight around ANY spider always, and my wife just laughs and picks it up and takes it outside.

You heard it here, folks. This guy wants to FIGHT spiders that his wife is FRIENDS with. Reflect a little, man. Learn to be more like a bear. Enjoy a little honey. Go berry picking. Eat your children to expedite your wife’s estrus.

To me it actually conveys what I was thinking, namely "ex cuse me?"

Like the Italian hand gesture, you know.

I know you're trying to convay chefs kiss, but I will always see that as the way you begin anal fisting.

The silent duck.

What does this have to do with running a Michelin Star restaurant out of a sandwich shop in Chicago?

The bear, the bear, and the maiden fair.

So maybe that's where the house hippo originated.

It's the eye contact at the end 👨‍🍳
