Recorded live after PHP × NYC with Ben Holmen, John Drexler, Daniel Coulbourne, Chris Morrell, Ian Landsman, Dave Hicking, and Joe Tannenbaum.

Considering we're all podcasters, we decided to sit down and discuss the most important issues of the day: Trader Joe's in basements, Poker, Day 2 Soup, Chess.com, something called "The Pizza Belt", and so much more.

Dave is "Horse Ignorant", Zuzana once fell asleep in a meeting, and Ben decided he needs a big mask.  Plus Ben started a meetup, Zuzana spoke at Laracon EU, Dave had a heck of a time getting a visa, and so much more.

Zuzana caught a fish, Ben reveals his experience using a bow & arrow, and Dave went to a "British-style Pub".

And a lot more.

Zuzana is speaking at Laracon EU, Ben is organizing PHP x MSP, Dave spoke at Laracon AU, and so much more - fancy kettles, Zuzana's cats, the royal family, etc.

The gang returns to talk about Zuzana's new Larabelles website, Heinz Salad Cream vs. Miracle Whip, Dave's stress (all of it.  lots of it.), cheese and onion sandwiches, Ben's new job, & more!

The gang is back and recapping what Zuzana missed at Laracon with special guest Joe Tannenbaum - and the episode quickly goes wildly off the rails with everything from cockroaches, galaxy brained dishwasher takes, fruit that makes your mouth burn (note this is very bad and you should listen to the episode if this happens to you), something called the "sandwich alignment chart", and so much more.

We're joined this week by Aaron Francis for a very special pre-Laracon episode to discuss his hatred of certain cheeses, why olives are gross, satisfying vs. maximizing, & more.  Plus we make him do the absolute dumbest thing he's ever done.  It's great.

Eric Barnes (owner/creator of Laravel News) joins us this week to discuss his adventures in the UK and a lot more - plus Zuzana wonders what's the big deal with golf, Dave gets a movie year wrong, and Ben brags (again) about Wisconsin.
