To preface, it was a joke and I meant no disrespect.

It’s an expression that relates to centrists on the political compass; the people that have no strong ideology that pull them too far into the quadrants.

The joke is that while the four quads are warring that they’ll host the barbecue like nothing is going on. Just grilling for the neighborhood.

Very similar to most Americans today - the world is burning but many just keep living as though it’s all cocktail parties and weekends in Vail.
