My Favorite Burger®

Today we're casting the first of 26 spells that came into our possession recently from an Instagram sorceress. Plus, you've heard of Big Pharma, but now we're tackling Big Milk & Raisin. From the sinister forces behind the Got Milk campaign, to hokey hikes, California raisins, live octopuses, fossilized fish, and more, today's episode will leave you spellbound. Our favorite burgers this week include an award-winning documentary and a timeless travel souvenir. And as always, we leave you contemplating one of life's biggest questions: are cornichons a good vegan alternative to veal?

We’re back, and we’re covering it all—from J.K. Rowling to J.K. Simmons. And no, we are not jk. In all seriousness, tune in for our thoughts on camouflage, strange state monikers, Long Island’s North Fork, real North forks, the slowest disaster movies ever, and more. Today’s roster truly runs the gamut—from the Kardashians, LGBTQ rights, and a Stevie Nicks soundcheck, to the real reason why nobody came together to see They Came Together in theaters. This week’s burgers are both bangin’ birthday bashes. And not to split hairs, but we explore that fine, fine line between ASMR and competitive eating. 

Listen closely as we chat about Ashley Olsen’s hiking machete, identical movies about identical twins, Scientologists who tweet, country mice, Mafioso landlords, environmentalism, and more. We’ll reminisce about two historic World War II ships, walk you through some of Robin Tunney’s best films, and ask the age-old question: is Avril Lavigne in on the joke? Our favorite burgers include a hand-beaded family heirloom and an Australian music producer. Plus, is A Quiet Place actually a long-lost Look Who’s Talking sequel?

This week's topics come in small, shareable portions. We're talking about trips to Spain, letters to Santa, Mariah's McDonald's menu, and more. We wax poetic about our dream jobs, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, our latest movie and music recommendations, and whether or not kids are still passing notes in secrecy. Our favorite burgers range from a micro-moment (a slider, if you will) to a horrific, decades-long tale of survival. And lastly, you asked and we answered: today we do a deep, swan-dive into the current state of bird-human relations. 

When we first recorded it, Amaranth was ten minutes long (with ads lol.) But typically, people don’t talk about grains for quite that long. So, we edited it down and published the shorter, more digestible version. But the fans have made it all too… well, clear: they want more amaranth. Some of this has never been heard before. We can’t wait for you to experience it in its entirety, raw and unedited. Just like when we first made it. For full context, play episode 1, “Deep in the Beans.”

On today's episode, we discuss everything from Craigslist interns to Craigslist killers. We recount our past lives as travel agents, voice our one request for Tim Cook, and explore the lasting impact of Brexit and Megxit. From beans and grains (such as amaranth) to people who post online reviews on behalf of their spouses, our takes are as hot as your grill. Don't miss our favorite burgers of the week. Plus—is Jussie Smollett the new Marina Abramović?
