Episode 642: Menus
4/18/2024
Today we're covered in faux leather, QR codes and chalk dust as we try to remember why we are doing this. We share our turn ons and turn offs, why we enjoy the tight and the sprawling and what the most grave disservice to humanity is as we discuss restaurant menus. We encounter bloopies and too much mystery before feigning surprise and discovering the thief of joy.

Episode 639: Tomatillos
3/28/2024
While talking tomatillos we blow minds and shatter worlds as we conclude that it's all about the journey, not the destination. (But really, what is at the end of Memory Lane?) We follow the lego brick road as we encounter two Sheens, three husks and wakes of vultures all in an attempt to define "slimy".

Close your windows and put on your mechanical gumshoes because we're talking Meringue today! We're totally stable as we recount the meringues of our youth, share our 7 minute in heaven dreams and (barely) avoid weeping all over the matrix before confessing our true thoughts on tasting menus.

Episode 634: Hot Honey
2/22/2024
Today we're sticky like Pooh Bear as we engage in some Christmas foreplay and hop on the swicy train.

Eventually, we become overfull of feelings when Molly says the most disgusting thing of the past century.
