Is Brunch Even Worth It? w/Kelly Wallace Barnhill Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

It’s no big secret that Kirk hates brunch, so Lindsey decided to bring in her best friend and co-host of their hilarious podcast F**k You, I’m Smarter, Kelly Wallace Barnhill, to see if they can change Kirk’s mind. The three discuss the proper time (and amount of time) for brunch, Mimosas vs. Bloody Marys, should dim sum be considered brunch, and Kelly calls Kirk (big shock), “inflexible.”

Pumpkin Spice: Flavor or Lifestyle? Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

It’s officially pumpkin spice season! What does that even mean? Kirk and Lindsey dig into how this flavor became more of a phenomenon, debate whether it’s more a lifestyle or a flavor, and go through a list of actual (and ridiculous) pumpkin spice products to determine if they are even worthy of eating.

Pickles and Relationships: the Same? Sep 23, 2020

Show notes

What do pickles and relationships have in common? Turns out - a lot. Kirk and Lindsey dive right in, discussing the difference between a sweet pickle and a bread and butter pickle, which is better Claussen or Vlasic, and if pickle love and regular love really give the same feels.

Show notes

Special guests RJ & Bley from the new podcast “Hear Me Out” join Lindsey and Kirk to talk about cereal!

Show notes

It’s the cookie episode, and if you don’t like cookies then we just can’t even with you. Kirk and Lindsey discuss if cookie dough is better than the actual cookie, what’s the best (and worst) Girl Scout Cookie, the two-to-one cookie theory, and things get seriously heated as Kirk tries to defend his love of oatmeal raisin cookies.

Which Fast Food Fries Are The Best? Aug 26, 2020

Show notes

Long overdue…it’s time to talk about French fries! Kirk and Lindsey try to solve why bag fries always taste better, get downright cantankerous about steak fries and curly fries, fight over whether tater tots are considered fries or not, and Kirk takes a French fry blind taste test to see if he can identify which fast food fry is which.
