#299. We’ve got your zero calorie drinks to wash down your choriqueso. And trust us, you want ice with that. From our favorite type of ice, to hot finds at the grocery store, to lasagna portioning, it’s a very Midwestern overweight dad kind of episode that digs into the areas of our brains that we feel don’t get talked about enough. After snack time, we even lament the allergy season and are looking for your spring air remedies. Sp...

#298. Happy Birthday to Dillon! And Happy Easter to all of you! Both things are late, but we mean it anyway.

During our weekend recap, Kory shares how two of his kids made use of his health insurance, then we share some of YOUR answers of how you treat yourself on vacation.

#297. “Turn your head and cough.” “Open wide and don’t bite down." "Don’t blink and don’t move your head.” What makes you nervous about seeing medical professionals? Let us know that and also what YOU would have done in Kory’s later-mentioned social situation. Also, there’s an opportunity to unearth your darkest secrets via the LinkTree below.

#296. Taking a bite out of crime just to become pirates as we fight off the albino ghosts of extinct wolves. That was too long for the title, so it’s the first sentence of this thing. Kendall is back from vacation and shares some stories, including someone hitting on his wife. Kory shares some of his travel experience in Seattle which leads us to discuss some regional food and the competition between cities. After the break, we bri...

#295. While Kendall is out on vacation, the Hubbell brothers bring friend and co-host of Grab’em in the Brisket Podcast back onto the show. Jon serves as third chair and we get a chance to pick his experienced brain about the culture of cooking competitions. How serious are those things really? Do rivalries pop up? Does Jon’s real family know about his barbecue family? That conversation glides into another world we continue to lear...

#294. Did the basketball battle break your bracket yet? Say that out loud. Now wipe the spittle off your phone and let’s get serious. When watching film and tv it’s very important that you develop a strong political or otherwise extreme opinion on not only the content, but the very originators of the content. If you don’t join a faction, one will be appointed to you. OR, you can consume content and decide to be open to entertainmen...

#293. Think twice about the last of the fish and don’t eat the corn chowder. Dillon continues our recent experiences of interesting hotel restaurant dinners, and it’s not a great experience. But he was warned. Do you take advice from servers? And next time you have left-overs, wake up the next morning and wrap whatever it is in an egg blanket and American cheese. You never know what you’ll find! It’s a little game Kendall plays and...

#292. Go ahead and listen to this one. When nobody is looking, you can wipe your phone on your jeans and slide it away like that knife you used to slice a bagel. Speaking of bagels and things with holes, sometimes you find a day in your weekly calendar that is void of responsibility until someone slathers butter all over it just to have it melt through the only gap and next thing you know your entire plate is soiled and what you co...

#291. Groceries are expensive right now anyway, so might as well just go ahead and splurge on some luxury fruit from Japan! Or perhaps you’d rather save on the grocery bill and spend a couple hundred bucks on a steak dinner at a linen-napkin kind of place instead of going down the street to your chain steakhouse of choice. We’re not saying we would do these things, but we would gladly make a meal out some Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Mayb...

#290. Do you ever daydream of running into a billionaire who is feeling extra generous that day? Or maybe you dream about being on a podcast and hoping to hit the viral lottery. Or perhaps, and hopefully not, you spend hours in gas stations throwing money at scratch-offs. We talk about a few ways to hit gold. Then, with your fortune, you can invest in yourself at a subscription-based male-pampering space. Speaking of Kory, did he g...

#289. Have you noticed AI getting a little too cute? Perhaps in automated phone calls? Is technology ruining your banking? We have thoughts and would love to hear yours via the LinkTree below! Also, Kory might have happened upon a new trend in the world of man-pampering. Would you pay a subscription to a male grooming establishment? After the break it’s all about what we’re watching, hockey fights, and how we choose streaming mater...

#288. We lived! Over two million Scoville units later, the three of us are back to talk about our Hot One’s experience. Kory received the box of sauces for his birthday, we ate some crappy wings, we sweated on camera, and now we’re describing the feels and the aftermath. Thank you to Brad and Jeremy! Maybe don’t treat your flight attendants to Da’Bomb, but maybe do gift them a nice box of chocolates. Is it ethical to bribe service ...

#286. Dillon and Kendall are running the show this week which means two things are certain: food and football. We compare styles of hotel restaurants as Kendall shares a confusing experience. We also discuss the difference between attending a wedding in your 20’s versus your 40’s, and yes, we talk reception food. We end with a critique of the twelve team college football playoff now that we’ve seen one. What are your thoughts? Let...

#285. Is that thumping in your head a cardiovascular condition or is just our voices pumping through your earbuds? Some of you might be listening to this while shoveling snow, and you probably just decided to take a break. Also, wolf t-shirts and mullets took a break in the mainstream world, but it appears as though they’re back. And like Gallagher, we move that conversation on to the grown-out hair mixed with male pattern baldness...

#284. Kendall is away, Dillon is stuck in the snow, and Kory is overthinking his (Florida) Disney stories while in sunny California. While his family trip was mostly good, it wasn’t without hiccups, but we enjoyed hearing of the immersive experience targeting in on a Star Wars theme. After the break, Dillon shares some health information concerning crystals which rolls into drinkable gels. Kory breaks a chair, but I think it got gl...

#283. It’s 1993, Super Mario isn’t loading correctly, you take the cartridge out, and then what do you do? Every respectable elder millennial is doing the same thing and we talk about that. We also complain about Starbucks drink ordering and we find out Jesus lives in a central Ohio Taco Bell. Kory shares what happens when your gas gauge is your odometer and Kendall updates his basement with a fridge that almost didn’t make it. Aft...

#282. We’re reviewing pop flavors and talking basements again! Only the pop is a seasonal comeback from Starry and the basement is Kendall’s. One basement story leads us to discuss how we react to mildly startling events. Speaking of mildly startling, do you eat tortilla chips naked? You probably do, but I mean it’s the chip that is naked. After the break we find out there’s some deep problems with asking people for restaurant advi...

#281. Are your pants too small now that Thanksgiving is over? We heat up the leftovers and tell you about our holiday. Then we find out that most of us experience issues with people understanding, remembering, or misspelling our name. Maybe Matt doesn’t deal with this, but Rebekah sure does. We ask you, how do you have to deal with your name in intercommunicative circumstances? Another name that’s easy to remember is Day, as in Rya...

#280. “The turkey goes ‘gobble gobble’ and then he gets his head chopped off. Whack!” That, believe it or not, is a weird Thanksgiving song. Weird and Thanksgiving gatherings can also overlap on the dinner table. Dillon goes through a list of odd dishes as we play “smash or pass,” and we would love to hear some of YOUR highs and lows from that list via the LinkTree below! On the back half, we enter Christmas decorating mode and dis...
