3w ago00:36:49Tap 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.

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 745: Vinaigrette
Apr 900:26:57Tap to summarizeToday we tackle these countertop jars as we lose interest in birthdays and deliver inside jokes to subscribers only. We deal with dressings, Blink 002 and a brand new special guest who oozes everywhere before declaring that ignorance is bliss. Through emulsifiers and polarities we finally decide on our vinaigrette boundaries even as we deny mustard its due. Matthew's Salmon Cucumber dish4 salmon fillets, about 8 ounces each, skin onSalt and pepper to taste4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided1 English cucumber, halved, seeded and cut on the diagonal into half-moons1 shallot, thinly sliced1/4 cup red-wine vinegar2 teaspoons sugar2 scallions, white parts only, thinly sliced1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar1.

Transcribe →Episode 744: Sandwich Crackers
Apr 200:26:26Tap to summarizeToday we encounter high pitched flavors as we taste the brioche of crackers. We name the world's greatest toy and crown a new PEFP as we endure chemical tangs, frissons of danger and failed musical analogies. After some homespun tales and an exciting Spilled Mail, we burst into song yet again even though we hate musicals because it is other people who burst into song.
