Cheese & Weather

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.

Zuzana is a vegan (in her heart), Dave tries to describe Norwegian Brown Cheese, Ben reminisces about the 'Got Milk' campaign, and a lot more.

Ben, Zuzana, and Dave return to discuss the best cheese for burgers, Ben's trip to view the eclipse, expensive toilets, Dave's trip to Laracon India, & more.

Ben discusses tipping in America, Dave wants to be a hotel secret shopper, and Zuzana discusses her "nuclear grade" worms.  Plus roller coasters, Cabot Sharp Cheddar, Czech proverbs, & so much more.

Zuzana is recording a new LinkedIn course, Ben talks about casseroles, Dave talks about his trip to Disneyland, & more.

The crew is back (!) to discuss everything from how Dave edits the Mostly Technical pod to Seinfeld vs. Friends to something called the "Easter Whip" and a lot more.

The gang returns after a couple months off and we're going where the podcast has never been before: the Culver's drive-thru.  Plus Zuzana has a "luxury camel experience", Dave has questions about tater tots, & more.

We're back from Laracon (!) so naturally we had to record a podcast about Zuzana's first baseball game, Ben's last minute decision to attend, and Dave's love of random frozen foods from the 90s.
