Lumpia and Latkes
Jay (a Filipino American) and Mitch (a Jewish American) have extended conversations on anything that intrigues them. We won’t always get it right, but we’ll do what we can. (Not a cooking show.)

To wrap up the week, Mitch has a new take on school fundraising and Jay reads a report of a gas leak in "This, Ya...
Yes, you read that title right. This "Topic of the Week", we wanted to try to play a game that was on clearance at "Kroger" and (an iteration) was used in the South Korean variety show "Running Man": "Slip It In". Mitch and Jay use random phrases/words/sentences in ad-libbed stories and attempt to guess each other's slips. At "The Coffee Table", Jay reads another "5 Minute Mystery" and Mitch has an excerpt on warranties. Closing ou...
Is bending the rules to get ahead in life wrong or is it just playing the game in a system rigged against us? Mitch and Jay have a list of "Unethical Life Hacks" that we mostly do not recommend. At "The Coffee Table", Mitch has a lesson on lessons and Jay has another "5 Minute Mystery". Wrapping up this episode, Jay has more inexplicable emojis and Mitch talks Vegas for "This, Ya Call News?".
Welcome to the first episode of Season 2 where we are starting things off with part 2 of our conversation on "Retail Work Revelations".

This episode brings up Carpe Diem and a play-along mystery. In "This, Ya Call News?", Mitch has a b...
"Cleanup in aisle 5, Bob. Cleanup in aisle 5." As 2 people who have their fair share of retail work experience, Mitch and Jay both agree that there are some things you just don't know about retail until you've become part of that system. Hear our Part 1 of our "Retail Work Revelations". "Would You Rather?" has us discussing fourth versus shorts, "Donkey Kong" versus "Halo", belly button versus mime, and more. In "This, Ya Call News...
Facebook, TikTok, X, BlueSky, RedNote, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, Threads, and so many other choices to consume all the Social Media. Something so ingrained in the pop culture zeitgeist must be discussed and so we did. Hear what Mitch and Jay have to say: the good and the bad. Nail versus razor blades, the battle of bodily wastes, 1980's tech, and more are up for debate in "Would You Rather?". As always, we wrap up with "This, Y...
Mind your manners! A unique and solemn situation brings about discussion of proper decorum and manners. Mitch and Jay weigh in on these concepts that many take for granted as "common sense is not common". Sarcasm versus complaints, hopping versus walking backwards, confetti versus glitter, and more are up for consideration in "Would You Rather?". We close out on "This, Ya Call News?" where Jay has a too-coincidental passing and Mit...
Without a doubt, one of the first things that comes up when you picture yourself winning the lottery is: where am I going to live?

Future versus past, ancestors versus descendants, edit versus record, and more come up in "Would You Rather?". In "This, Ya Call News?", Jay has "Pizzagate" and Mitch ha...
10, 15, 20 percent? Maybe more? In the service industry: tipping is the proper thing to do, but when it is added automatically to a transaction does it lose meaning? Jay and Mitch weigh in on the always hot button issue "Tipping" for "Topic Of The Week". In "Would You Rather?", it's soap versus butter, bone versus nails, famous people etiquette, and more. To wrap it up in "This, Ya Call News?", Mitch goes to the dentist and Jay goe...

Unless you have won the lottery (or are taken care of), you probably have a job. Because you have a job, you have all the stressors that come along with it. When is enough truly enough? This week, Mitch and Jay welcome their former coworker Gerald to discuss "Work And Work Ethic". In "Would You Rather?", it's dinner choices, fame versus power, handwriting versus typing, and more. Gerald speaks about a unique relationship, Mitch tal...
We wrap up the convo on MBTI from the prior week. After, we switch gears to this week's topic: "Awesome" Google Reviews. You probably use Google Reviews to make decisions where to shop or eat, but have you ever deep dove into them to see the sh*tshow? We did and it's quite something. Mashed potatoes vs. maple syrup, pickle juice vs. mustard, gastrointestinal conflict, and more are discussed in "Would You Rather?". Mitch has a toile...
Personality tests have been around for ages and have had a recent resurgence in the pop culture zeitgeist. One such test is called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or MBTI for short.

In "This, Ya Call News?", Mitch has sports and Jay has the Nintendo Switch 2.
..."I'm sorry, Dave. I can't allow you to do that." We take security for granted using our banking cards: at the gas pump, at the ATM, at the register--and that is just scratching the surface. Find out what steps you can take to be more aware and safeguard yourself against these and other situations for everyday security. In lighter fare, we take on sneeze versus pee, "American Idol", phone tapping and more for "Would You Rather?". Cl...
Classic comedy lives or at the very least we gave it a shot. This week we try something a little different in place of "Topic Of The Week" with help from Abbott and Costello as well as The Smothers Brothers. In "Would You Rather?", we talk being stuck in a room, money matters, workplace surveillance, and more. To close us out, Mitch has a big boat and Jay has a bear in "This, Ya Call News?".
"In 500 feet, make the next left, for sheezy." David joins us again for part 2 of our views on driving in "Topic Of The Week": we discuss a driver's best friend - the GPS, real maps, and dash cams. 60 versus 100, pick it up versus let it be, and at fault versus hit are the choices in "Would You Rather?". To close out the episode in "This, Ya Call News?", Mitch has a follow up to the Sperm Race and Jay has ice cream.
We welcome our first ever guest to the show: David, a coworker and more seasoned Service Technician. We begin by talking about driving and driver courtesy for our "Topic Of The Week"--we speak from a place of extended experience thanks to our jobs which keep us on the road for a good chunk of our days.
