  • Episode 655: Burger Buns
    Jul 18 2024

    Today we use fiery rants and invisible sidekicks to tackle these challenges filled with savory fillings. We're enriched and decidedly NOT rustic as we tell snobby buns to "sit down and shut up!" Finally, Molly remembers something important and Matthew recommends silent eating.

  • Episode 654: The Nerds Culinary Universe
    Jul 11 2024

    WTF is happening here? you may be thinking. We would also like to know. We're drooling and dry swallowing over the taste of sleep-away camp as we devour all the varieties of anthropomorphic pebbles we could find all while discussing Meryl Streep's filmography. We eat these bump balls with abandon and gusto which is probably why the AI transcript generator declared "Their enthusiasm for the candy was evident throughout the conversation."

  • Episode 653: Enameled Cast Iron
    Jul 4 2024

    Today we're on assignment from Michele Norris to keep talking cast iron skillets. Molly goes to confession and we're not interested as we talk pots, lies and mustaches. The more we learn about these crucibles and cauldrons the more we realize that we're often loathsome and non-comedogenic.

  • Episode 652: Bran
    Jun 27 2024

    Today Matthew channels his inner NPR persona and we get prissy about cereal. Since we are not skeptical about this format we plant, mill, refine, thresh and tan as we invent new cereals and wonder if our reaction is due to "vacation palate". Wanna be our bran bud?!

  • Episode 651: Cast Iron Skillet with Michele Norris
    Jun 20 2024

    Get behind us soap! Today we are discussing Big Black Skillets but, of course, are not experts so don't @ us. After we discover the worst thing that could possibly happen, we get into some metallurgy before chatting with Special Guest Michele Norris about these kitchen tools and her recent projects. Rust rings, resurrections and hot oil massage all get their air time as we dismantle alien stereotypes and work through rough patches.

  • Episode 650: Butterscotch
    Jun 13 2024

    What the hell is butterscotch? What about molasses? And caramel!? Why can't Matthew ever remember? Today we introduce a new, extremely rare segment and go down some deep rabbit holes while we discuss that famous emollient: butterscotch. We look for ha'pennies and learn that some mysteries will remain mysterious.

  • Episode 649: Quiche
    Jun 6 2024

    Travel back to a time when quiches were all the rage, when tomes were written about sauces and the phrase "bucket list" made no sense. Today we're using all the swag, sway and pull at our disposal to bring that distant gloop relative, quiche, back into fashion. To do so, we'll need to solve Molly and The Mysterious Disappearance of Both Pie Plates and confront some bizarre and unpleasant ingredients. WRONG!

  • Episode 648: Potato Salad
    May 30 2024

    Today we're smooth, chunky, painful and transformative as we blame other countries for this salad and debate horror movie villains. Scared of potato salad, Matthew embarks on a quest in order to avoid it and encounters Secret Miracle Whip, SpongeBob and listicles.
