Episode 729: Sausage Sandwiches Dec 18, 2025

Show notes

We start this episode like we do all our episodes, by telling you what we are NOT talking about. After that is out of the way, we learn The Sausage Sizzle, lexography and Matthew's super villain origin story. These sandwiches filled with hot beef injections bring out fiery rants, bun friction and toasting tips before we reveal our dream backstage riders.

Episode 728: Caprese Salad Dec 11, 2025

Show notes

Today we're all about seasonal eats in the southern hemisphere as we slice, rip and chunk. We ask 'what's in a name?' as we taste this colorful yet suspicious salad and reminisce about our island partying days. Matthew enjoys the soup while Molly enjoys the extras as we debate the comedic nature of evil little faces.

Episode 727: Food Diary Dec 04, 2025

Show notes

We're the show with the WOW! now that we do what Producer Abby tells us. We're full of surprises, reveals and betrayals as we share our meals, snacks and drinks over five days in September. Sharon Stone Fruit plays a recurring guest role in this montage of meals along with Cliff bars, peach corners, Trader Joe's and overpriced bread. After a quick Quantum Leap digression we share what we learned about each other and ourselves and how we are forever changed by this experience.

Episode 726: Gum III: 5 Nov 27, 2025

Show notes

Listen as we google things and use all 5 senses and 2000 parts to chew gum yet again. This time its all 5 all the time and as we edge our taste buds we wonder if we're ready for this most XTREME of gum brands. We also wonder: are kids into these? what about gamers? what does it mean to ReSpawn? In hindsight, our expectations may have been a little too high.

Episode 725: Granita Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

Today we're hoarse yet velvety, smooth but rough, wet yet dry and whipped but also hand scraped as we taste granita aka chopped ice. We're the most on trend we'll ever be as we wonder if its too soon to joke about Mt. Vesuvius, debate coffee brew strength and hope to be periodically useful before our listeners demand Justice for Molly!

Episode 724: Water Bottles Nov 13, 2025

Show notes

This is one of those episodes where we learn about ourselves and then judge Matthew. We discuss the history of re-useable water bottles, our preferences, hot takes and pleasant observations while debating glass, plastic or steel and learning about the newsie to urchin pipeline. Take it from an Elder Punk whose favorite beverage is water that this show is all about taking big swigs.

Episode 723: Poppi Nov 06, 2025

Show notes

Today we're not sponsored and discover that the more we learn the less we think. We begin with low expectations about these 'functional' 'biotic' sodas and debate what the going rate is for our show because we're the real deal. No artificial sweetners here! As we drinks these fads in a can and commune with St Elsewhere and St Elmo, we realize that we're full of bacteria but we can still bring sexy back.

Episode 722: Gum 2 Oct 30, 2025

Show notes

This episode is, obviously, filled with mouth sounds. Proceed at your own risk.

Today we're bringing you the sequel that nobody wanted but is actually very necessary. We wonder what 'DDS' stands for as we bite into these chonky boys from tubes, barrels and sticks. The masticatory vibes are real for take offs and landings so while we're minimally flavored, and softer for longer, we hope to someday RESPAWN as the Dark Crystal. Happy chewing!

Episode 721: New Cheez-its Oct 23, 2025

Show notes

Get your nose in the game because this is a LEGIT episode we promise. With a little help from the Magic Duoz and Dumpster Dan, we taste these wimpy, weird crackers before taking a pop quiz blindfolded. Then we chat care packages, horror novels and urban legends before teasing even more cheezy sequels.
