Hosts Greg, Sean, and Tim are joined by Alethea Rowe, Senior Director of Public Relations and Global Branding at The Cheesecake Factory. They kick things off recalling Sean's firing from the restaurant, but did Alethea dig into his "Cheesecake File"? And, is he the only ‘celebrity’ to get the boot? Sean comes back with a new word of the week, and Tim reflects on the origins of the popular trend from Episode 6. The team dives into some of the restaurant’s best dishes: Greg’s obsessed with the Thai noodles (but he's still not a fan of Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter), Alethea’s all about the new Triple Berry Bliss, and Sean shares his go-to Cheesecake Factory drinks. Plus, Tim reads hilarious comments from ‘The Cotery,’ and Greg wonders—whatever happened to the guacamole and the Cheesecake pagers?

Later, Greg puts Sean on blast—has he secretly been selling cookies door to door? Tim shares a legendary DJ gig with Tone Loc, and the crew reacts to some hilarious listener comments.

beating for his private label proclivities. After a 73 episodes hiatus, Tim tries another
“Mmm Mmm Good” joke. Sean’s word of the week may become an integral part of the
podcast. Greg thinks 250 x 4 equals One Million; Sean’s grammar is an
embarrassment, and Tim struggles with the letter “S”. Tim and Sean double down on
the “Greg’s a bully” talk. We might have a new sign-off!

Zoltan Kaszas, Ben, Jerry… It’s a loaded episode. Sean is an emotional wreck over
the Bills game and it turns out, that was probably a good hunch. Greg had a run-in at
Starbucks and Sean fights for him. We find out Tim is ice cream royalty. A lot of talk
about whether Tim’s “DC is the capitol of Virginia” comment last week is the dumbest
thing uttered in the history of the pod. Greg’s tongue is tied – probably 8 Mushmouth
moments. Greg tells some stories about Freddie D, his club owner mentor. Tim makes
a couple attempts at a Deadhead impression and will not reveal his inspiration. The
new shirts make an appearance. Tim foolishly risks our relationship with
Mookapotamus. The fans continue hate on the set and our guest sticks up for us.
Watch Zoltan’s latest special here!

The trio dive into some big questions: Are Uncrustables throwing shade at Jif, and what’s the secret behind their runaway success? Sean pitches patenting his shirts, but does he have the "flash of genius" it takes? The verdict comes in quick. Plus, a new word of the week shakes things up. Uncrustables take center stage in the NFL, but can they legally own a whole sandwich? And in a shocking twist, the St. Louis Arch weighs in on the show.

17: Otis | The Consumers Ep. 17 Jan 14, 2025

This week, the guys take a deep dive into the history of elevators—but not before debating their "lower limit" for rating random restaurants. Greg sounds the horn (literally), and they tease the possibility of new merch with a special design inspired by Sean’s math. A heated discussion ensues: could Skippy ever sponsor the show? Greg isn’t exactly on board.
They also tackle some big questions: Why are some elevators so painfully slow? And what are the risks (and myths) about elevator safety? Along the way, they reminisce about a chaotic go-karting experience and question whether it’s worth trying again. Finally, the team contemplates whether their signature sign-off—“You have the right to charge your phone, and you have been consumed”—still fits.

16: Bass Pro | The Consumers Ep. 16 Jan 07, 2025

Tim revisits a memorable road trip with Greg, where they stumbled upon the eerie remains of a Ruby Tuesday. Meanwhile, the guys debate whether Tim is secretly rocking Lululemon...

They also tackle the bizarre question: what was coal tar doing in early ketchup recipes? Meanwhile, Tim and Greg test Sean’s eyesight, and he might need some glasses. The crew weighs in on the pros and cons of Pittsburgh (spoiler: it’s a great city), responds to listener comments, and, of course, reminds everyone to smash that like button!

14: Energizer | The Consumers Ep. 14 Dec 24, 2024

Energizer! Mookapotamus shows his face! Tim is ripping off fans. We all agree our
Energizer is a great brand, but they were once guilty of acting like babies. Tim reports on a battery mystery. There’s some talk of firing Randy and Sean steps up.

13: Gatorade | The Consumers Ep. 13 Dec 17, 2024

Gatorade! We have Christmas lights. Tim gets wacky at the first Consumers photo
shoot and Sean and Greg are reluctant to play along. We remember the first
Consumers studio and the practice episodes. Sean has a legend of a dumb moment.
We talk about Logan Paul’s sports drink and it gets goofy. We finally all agree on
something, and it is gum. Fun facts take a strange turn but, baby, is it worth it.

12: Fritos | The Consumers Ep. 12 Dec 10, 2024

Greg and Sean reflect on their time in Seattle, sharing memories of an in-flight emergency. Sean crushed it with his t-shirt sales but hilariously struggles with locating hotel fridges. We dive into the history of Fritos, even pondering if Mahatma Gandhi would have been a fan. The word "mercurial" makes an epic return. A debate arises about the ultimate snack: KitKats with Jif or walking tacos. Plus, the guys revisit some classic characters in a showdown between "Venezuelan Tim" and "Deadpan Sean."

something is a little fishy with Monaghan’s first date. Sean had a crush on lady that he
used to delivered pizzas to, and he gives out her address. We finally learn the origin of
Sean’s two-dollar bill habit. More “Walk to Remember” talk.

It’s the Honey Baked Ham episode. We promise, we will eventually get there. We’ve
got decorations from Kate Convy? Greg stutters through an apology to Williams
Sonoma. A lot of “you’re a bad driver” accusations flying around the studio. We receive
inside information on the Honey Baked Ham holiday rush from an officer of the law.
Momentous occasion. We link Honey Baked Hams to Flashdance, the movie. Sean’s
sneaks in a word of the day. The Consumers have received their first swag. We
announce the big Sean O’Brien Lego Space Shuttle winner. Finally, the much awaited
explanation of the logo.

takes a walk on the corny side, more precisely, the corn mixed with zucchini and red
onion side.

5: Oreo | The Consumers Ep. 5 Oct 22, 2024

The Oreo Episode is here! Before the team even mentions the word, “cookie”, Sean drops a bomb that may forever change the landscape of the podcast. The Biscuit Wars involved thievery, sickness, family drama, betrayal and much, much more. In a world where tales of clueless Starbucks employees are the norm, Tim’s got a good one. The people have spoken and we have a Sandlot look-alike in the studio.
