Episode 758: Buffalo Sauce
Yesterday00:33:36Tap to summarizeGet 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 285: Chicken Wings LIVE!

Transcribe →Episode 757: Grocery Shopping with Alex Mayyasi
1w ago00:52:38Tap to summarizeWe 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.

Transcribe →Episode 756: Easter Candy
2w ago00:46:16Tap to summarizeWell 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.

Transcribe →Episode 755: Thai Curry 2 with Pailin Chongchitnant
3w ago00:44:39Tap to summarizeWe'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.

Transcribe →Episode 754: Hiyashi chūka
4w ago00:30:35Tap to summarizeWe'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!

Jun 400:36:00Tap to summarizeToday we're filled with confusion as we ask 'what nouGAT is?', meet up with Apicius and ponder some existential ideas.

Transcribe →Episode 752: Brioche
May 2800:40:02Tap to summarizeToday 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.

Transcribe →Episode 751: Deodorant
May 2100:36:49Tap to summarizeWithin 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!

Transcribe →Episode 750: Pimento Cheese
May 1400:26:52Tap to summarizeToday we're tatted up and backed by shadowy shell corporations to confront Matthew's nemesis— cold, creamy, savory spreads. Pimento Cheese has hovered over us for too long so now we can finally confirm: what goes on between the cheese, at the epic poetry slam and what the most up to date sandwich is. We end the episode by canceling candy, getting banned from the duck pond and teasing our listeners. All in all, it's another typical Thursday.

Transcribe →Episode 749: Knife Sharpening
May 700:35:03Tap to summarizeThere will be blood. Today Matthew Scissorhands takes us from the Stone Age to the Golden Age as we get super nerdy about friable sharp tips.
