Episode 64 - "I will not be denied my tuna salad…I may have been denied my tuna salad."
12/12/2011 Duración: 56minWe went to a beer tasting earlier today, and we talk about it. We also got in two more boxes from listeners (y'all rock), have several things from the local wholesale club to try out, and managed to go a whole episode without the beagle losing his cool. Frankly, that was amazing. I can honestly say that this week there are a lot of thingds you should try, even though normally, we eat it, so you don't have to.

05/12/2011 Duración: 01h05minWe've recovered from Thanksgiving and moved on to the local Art Tour. And that means we're also eating cheap. OK, maybe one or two things in this particular batch are a little pricy, but we got them opn sale, so it totally counts, right?

Episode 62 - The one after Thanksgiving
28/11/2011 Duración: 31minWe're recovering from Thanksgiving here in the US, so there's not much in the way of food. We do catch up on some listener mail, and eat some leftover turkey. Turkey sandwiches on white bread with mayo. It's comfort food. So this week, we didn't eat it, so you don't have to. We'll be back to the regular schedule next weekend. Promise.

Episode 61 - "You Cad! You took my vegatable serving! And you're eating it!"
20/11/2011 Duración: 01h14minThere are foods here that you should not eat. Serioursly. It's not bad, but it's not good either. There are things this week that you SHOULD try, which is, we realize, a rarity. I'm not going to tell you which is which here, though. That'd spoil the surprise. There is also WAY too much information about Kevin's taste in women, and a discussion of the etymology of the word "ejaculate." We earn the explicit tag in this one. Just sayin'Once again, we eat it, so you don't have to (and in a couple of cases, probably don't want to).
