I'm writing a play about two over-the-top obnoxious women, both based on me. I originally had the drama take place on SuperBowl Sunday, but I just hadn't paid enough attention to the background noise (the game), so I'm moving it to Oscar Night, when the abolitionist vegan mother Sandra plans the menu. She refers to Anthony Bourdain's cameo appearance in The Big Short, when he compares what goes into a fish stew (the not-quite-new) with the a CDO, a Collateralized Debt Obligation.

Sandra: Did you see The Big Short?
Aisha: Yes!
Sandra: You know how Anthony Boudain was talking about what goes into a fish stew?
Matt: Fish, I'll bet.
Sandra: Old fish. Fish that you'd have to throw away otherwise. He compares it to a CDO, which stands for...I forget.
Aisha: Collateralized Debt Obligation.
Sandra: Right! So I Googled "fish stew without the fish," but only recipes with fish came up.
Aisha: Huh.
Sandra: So then I Googled vegan fish stew, and that's what I made.
