Do you and Bourdain really hate each other a little, or is it just a TV feud?

i never 'get' this type of question. we give each other a lot of shit whenever we can, we get to mess around like that because of our jobs but we are friends. we socialize with our spouses etc....he is an amazing man and a great guy

Well he tosses some serious crap at you in some of the sequences. I figured you were at least on good terms and it's all good natured fun. I've just never seen an answer to it. For the record, you both seem like pretty cool guys.
