August 20, 2026 Episode 764: Baguette
It's on! Grab your striped shirt, beret and bike as we discuss the story of this long bread and all its price caps, regulations and thumpings. We get into the history, lore and economics of this Fantasy Bread of Equality with some steamy additions before we rock, roll and slash. But, whatever you do, don't call us Basic Baguettes!

August 13, 2026 Episode 763: Canned Cocktails
Today we get into the fine, the bad and the very bad as we personally eat canned cocktails. Though we wish someone else would have bought these for us and that we were on a boat or at least in the San Jose airport, we shake, stir and sip on the fast track to getting hammered. With a dash of corporate history and a crusade garnish, we discuss Ad Boys and Betty Curtains before praising Producer Abby's life choices.

August 06, 2026 Episode 762: Fresh Fava Beans
Today we barely scratch the surface of these slippery, elusive, high maintenance fresh beans. Whether they be harbinger, outcome or omen, we tentatively enjoy these young and tender little shits as we avoid urinary marathons and perfect our peeling technique. We learn history, botany and biology before deciding on our bean orientations and then finally reveal our favorite flavor duets.

July 30, 2026 Episode 761: Reviled Candy: The Musical
Today we present a loose concept and ask: Who likes these things? We take Tootsie to task, start a Rooney convention and refuse to stop bursting into song as we taste nuts, nougat, gummies, mounds and duds. Please, hold your applause and voice memos until the end.

July 23, 2026 Episode 760: French Onion Soup
Come on over for some soup! We're hanging verbs and gratinating as we serve a spoonful of broth in a lion's head tureen. Predictably, Molly shares her experience tasting this French soup in France and Matthew recounts tales of spicy onions, clingy cheese and pervasive eggs. Finally, we wonder at the ideal broth to onion ratio, the origins of Mario and taste of making out. Presto!

July 16, 2026 Episode 759: Dried Oregano
It's a showdown on Spice Island: Mexican vs Greek Oregano! Listen as we shill for subscribers, endure Mr Etymology, learn latin, botany and geography and declare ourselves Historical Geniuses. We're rocking up the scenery as we discuss these herbs and the memories they evoke before a Nut Stop at Pound Town and a quick sniffing session.

July 09, 2026 Episode 758: Buffalo Sauce
Get back to earth because we're talking Buffalo Sauce! We're South of North Madre as we learn the brainy and accidental origin stories of this specialized sauce for unbreaded, fried and rubbed chicken. We're visited by George Clooney and Simon and Garfunkel as we talk Mumbo sauce, genius combinations and exploding mayo. Note that Molly is recovering and Matthew failed to thread the needle so give us a break but also call in your criticism.

July 02, 2026Episode 757: Grocery Shopping with Alex Mayyasi
We leave dreams behind and enter reality today as we tackle Grocery Shopping. With help from Special Guest Alex Mayyasi we chat price comparison, admin nights, coupon clipping and competitive friendship. After proposing illegal schemes and learning the difference between Joan Rivers and Barbara Walters, we open our digital mouths and try to understand the psyche of the store with its loyalty programs, discounts and impulse buys before some truly disturbing Spilled Mail leaves us with spurting centers and orange scabs.

June 25, 2026 Episode 756: Easter Candy
Well it is definitively Spring, except when its not, so that means we're hyped up slugs fresh off the factory line to taste creme, peeps and 'chocolate'. After some salivation activation we cheese plate candy and declare them to be "Remarkable!" and "Violently Sweet!" before breaking some bunnies. After a very short appearance by Dr Peeper we treat our itchy cheeks the only way we know how.

June 18, 2026 Episode 755: Thai Curry 2 with Pailin Chongchitnant
We're feeling remote and wonder if we need to schedule a vow renewal before we return to The Great Thai Curry, this time with an expert. Matthew becomes too cool for the show and Molly learns about popular music as we barely avoid jumping the shark by inviting Pailin back to give us the freedom to riff. We learn how a curry paste is like a jam, discover what nuggets to use when and sing the praises of spoons before we embrace our inner Handyman.
