Episode 759: Dried Oregano Jul 16, 2026

Show notes

It's a showdown on Spice Island: Mexican vs Greek Oregano! Listen as we shill for subscribers, endure Mr Etymology, learn latin, botany and geography and declare ourselves Historical Geniuses. We're rocking up the scenery as we discuss these herbs and the memories they evoke before a Nut Stop at Pound Town and a quick sniffing session.

Episode 758: Buffalo Sauce Jul 09, 2026

Show notes

Get back to earth because we're talking Buffalo Sauce! We're South of North Madre as we learn the brainy and accidental origin stories of this specialized sauce for unbreaded, fried and rubbed chicken. We're visited by George Clooney and Simon and Garfunkel as we talk Mumbo sauce, genius combinations and exploding mayo. Note that Molly is recovering and Matthew failed to thread the needle so give us a break but also call in your criticism.

Episode 757: Grocery Shopping with Alex Mayyasi Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

We leave dreams behind and enter reality today as we tackle Grocery Shopping. With help from Special Guest Alex Mayyasi we chat price comparison, admin nights, coupon clipping and competitive friendship. After proposing illegal schemes and learning the difference between Joan Rivers and Barbara Walters, we open our digital mouths and try to understand the psyche of the store with its loyalty programs, discounts and impulse buys before some truly disturbing Spilled Mail leaves us with spurting centers and orange scabs.

Episode 756: Easter Candy Jun 25, 2026

Show notes

Well it is definitively Spring, except when its not, so that means we're hyped up slugs fresh off the factory line to taste creme, peeps and 'chocolate'. After some salivation activation we cheese plate candy and declare them to be "Remarkable!" and "Violently Sweet!" before breaking some bunnies. After a very short appearance by Dr Peeper we treat our itchy cheeks the only way we know how.

Episode 755: Thai Curry 2 with Pailin Chongchitnant Jun 18, 2026

Show notes

We're feeling remote and wonder if we need to schedule a vow renewal before we return to The Great Thai Curry, this time with an expert. Matthew becomes too cool for the show and Molly learns about popular music as we barely avoid jumping the shark by inviting Pailin back to give us the freedom to riff. We learn how a curry paste is like a jam, discover what nuggets to use when and sing the praises of spoons before we embrace our inner Handyman.

Episode 754: Hiyashi chūka Jun 11, 2026

Show notes

We're on the cusp of summer and maybe a little too happy. Today we have a cold noodle salad that is almost too beautiful to eat and Matthew shills his book and his app. After an exclusive reading we chat toppings, dressings and motorized tombstones before whining about under-equipped vacation homes. But hey, at least we're not the noodle police!

Episode 753: Nougat Jun 04, 2026

Show notes

Today we're filled with confusion as we ask 'what nouGAT is?', meet up with Apicius and ponder some existential ideas. After being compacted by waiting, we discover The Whipping Agent and Fluffy before succumbing to the essence of chew in this, our most post modern episode.

Episode 752: Brioche May 28, 2026

Show notes

Today we're enriched, blessed and definitely not de-verbal as we talk Brio trains, curving tracks and when to say NO to Brioche. After some butter bashing and a few compendiums we decide to lean into our Big Disc Energy and declare 'Let Them Eat Brioche' before steaming off.

Episode 751: Deodorant May 21, 2026

Show notes

Within the curves of our arms lies some sweaty takes. We're gaslighting our children just like the marketers gaslight us as we learn about the history and odors of deodorant so get ready for strong, ph balanced roll-ons, sticks and sprays. We wish we were sweaty blacksmiths, but instead we're sissified and bathing in grain alcohol. Raise your arms!
