Expensive Strawberries & The Death of Jokes
Dingo posted a joke about white people discovering strawberries in a field and returning with an $18 fruit in a glass cloche, but got flooded with defensive comments about rare Japanese berries. The hosts debate whether people have become too uptight to laugh at anything, eventually landing on the fact that self-deprecating humor is the only acceptable form of comedy.
Mexicans on Parade: A Racism Moment at the Deli
Dingo recounts walking into his favorite Mexican deli and yelling 'Why are you listening to a fucking parade?' to his friends playing marching band music. A random white woman with a MAGA truck finds it hilarious—not because of the parade joke, but because he was yelling at Mexicans. The hosts spend time workshopping better racist insults for white people and eventually settle on 'cloches' as a concept.
People Are Dumb & The Dunning-Kruger Effect
Robbbie and Tad pile on Dingo for being an idiot, leading to a discussion about why people get mad over dumb shit. They identify the Dunning-Kruger effect as the root cause—people who don't know much think they know everything, while actually smart people realize how much they don't know. The hosts agree that people in general are the worst.
Road Rage, Guns, & Creepy Neighbors
The conversation shifts to what makes them angry: Tad hates other drivers who don't realize cars contain people, while Robbbie uses passive-aggressive thumbs-downs instead of flipping people off (because of guns). Robbbie then shares a disturbing story about a senile or drunk 70-year-old neighbor who stole his trash cans on Christmas morning at 4 AM, highlighting the general distrust and paranoia of modern life.
Donuts, Gluten-Free Marketing, & Coca-Cola Sponsorship Pitches
Dingo's wife brought him a Boston cream donut after two years, and he couldn't help but eat too much and feel like garbage afterward. This spirals into discussions about gluten-free being a marketing scam, Oreo-flavored Coca-Cola tasting like anus, the discontinued Coke Starlight (space-flavored), and the hosts pitching sponsorship ideas: ButcherBox ('Get Meated'), Kraken Rum ('Kraken Shit Publicly'), and a plea for Coke to send them discontinued flavors.
Raw Vegan Dumps & Public Bathroom Anxiety
Dingo discusses his wife's raw vegan phase from 12 years ago, which he credits with the most satisfying bowel movements of his life. Tad reveals his shy colon and refusal to poop in public restrooms due to hygiene concerns, while Dingo goes bare-cheeks without shame. The hosts debate the merits of bird's nesting toilet paper versus toilet seat covers, with Robbbie drawing the line at any contact with public facilities.
Apricity & The Pursuit of Joy
After a long stretch of complaining, Robbbie introduces 'apricity'—the feeling of warmth from the sun on your skin, especially in winter. The hosts wax poetic about pool skin (that cool post-swim feeling), sun-cooked flesh scent, and how February has everyone depressed. They also discuss how negative six-degree Chicago weather means their dogs need winter boots and turning barking dogs into animal cruelty discussions.
Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, & Pop Culture Ignorance
The hosts reveal they know almost nothing about contemporary pop culture icons. Robbbie vaguely knows of Harry Styles but nothing about his music. They discuss Taylor Swift's sudden ubiquity, with Tad claiming all her songs sound the same. The discussion spirals into name-dropping One Direction, with Dingo being the only one who knows Harry Styles was in the band, and a random tangent about the deceased member from earlier.
You guys are cloches. Yeah, I see right through you. You cloche. You. I see right through you fucking cloche. Actually, I don't like when I say that to you. That sounds a little anti-Semitic.← All episode posts
