Wedding Punch takes over UCB Sunset Hollywood. Correction: Bianca Del Rio takes over everything and no one complains. They discuss the classic food item you can’t deny. Well, Johnny’s kids denied it at first. The gang banter about its ubiquitousness, it’s “white people food”-ness, its addictive quality and its...pyscho-sexual tang. Joel throws out a RECOMENTION (not a word) about a solid gluten-free option. Editors note: Our apologies to the decent, honest gluten-free folks out there for what we s

Wedding Punch sips the delicious Belgian-style Canadian beer while discussing who was was a partier in high school and who wasn’t. Most of us weren’t. Julia reveals the best beer situations and...survey said!? SHE’S RIGHT!! Johnny went to Play Hard High, Mel snuck some Medori and Joel had a fantasy about...mowing the lawn?

Wedding Punch goes after a Block Party staple with Suddenly Pasta Salad. Well, not a staple in the Meeks’ household. “From a box? No thank you,” says Johnny. They lament the lack of block parties currently available to them in LA. Correction: They NOTICE the lack of block parties currently available to them in LA.

The Wedding punch gang cracks that red wax and sips some small-batch Kentucky bourbon. Joel is a fish out of water playing the heavy in a film about the life of Jesus just outside of Louisville, Kentucky. All that fish needed was a friend and, well, let’s just say Jesus came through with some Maker’s. Speaking of friends, Julia transforms five butch theatre dudes into five men in touch with their feelings. Wow.

Wedding Punch enjoys some prosecco while, once again, not knowing a whole lot about it. Joel gives Julia’s request for listeners to rate our podcast only four stars. We luxuriate in the safe, non-offensive accents: “Country Bumpkin,” “Cliche Italian, ”Cliche French“ and “White Hobo Who Ruined His Own Life.” Julia’s reveals how her mom took it to the edge over Thanksgiving, and Johnny describes his traditional New Year’s Day Southern Good Luck Dinner that we should all be doing.

Wedding Punch finds themselves enjoying a Pennsylvania Dutch Holiday tradition: Katie Neith’s Shoo Fly Pie. Good for dessert, good with coffee in morning. Well, just good any time on any occasion. We discuss other December foods and all the different Caviar shops in LA. Johnny has a devastating take on candy canes that opens a window into a bizarre family evening at the Meeks house and a brief return of everyone’s (no-one’s) favorite character: Brad.

This week we nosh on some delicious Brown Butter Shortbread from Ty Burrell’s...well that’s a matter of discussion. A few of us reveal what we become when we’re away from our spouses and it’s a little disturbing. Mel asks the important question: How do you guys feel about eggplant? Joel reveals how terrifying baking is to him with a perfect and unexaggerated metaphor. We reveal an odd sexist moment we all experienced at a restaurant because one of us didn’t realize there was a men’s section of

Ahh sipping on G&Ts, intellectual conversation with bon mots a-plenty...well, we tried. Julia gets things going with a rather bawdy sorority toast. Ty acknowledges that there simply must be negative stories out there about parents and drinking, but we don’t dwell on that…we discuss how seeing our parents “party” personality can shake you. To this day, Johnny’s vodka and tonics impress the hell out of his father.

Wedding Punch brings it back to summer and food you’d eat by a pool, lake or unexplained “weird beach.”  Fun memories are recalled - you know, like having one friend for only three years, getting bullied and bathrooms with teeming wasp nests. Man, those hotdogs disappeared pretty fast. I guess we can call this the Mouth Feelings stress-eating episode...

Thanksgiving gets a lot of love in this episode and yet Turkey does not. Sad face. Wedding Punch dives into Liz’s mom’s Macaroni Pie and experiences “Side Nirvana.” They then have a spirited discussion about Thanksgiving foods and how green beans are the dinghy of sides. Someone reveals they’re not all into poultry and someone reveals they’re not all into..pie. WHAT. Also WP introduces a new character you’re not going to be sure (you’ll be really sure) about, Brad.
