The St. Patrick's Day Bit Gone Wrong
Dingo arrives late and immediately ruins the carefully planned bit where the hosts were supposed to let listeners figure out they were drunk on St. Patrick's Day without explicitly saying it. The whole thing derails into meta-commentary about recording on a Monday for an April release, with the guys arguing about whether they're actually allowed to cut it or just have to leave it in.
Corned Beef, Pastrami & Jewish Delicatessen Culture
Robbbie passionately defends his perfect corned beef and cabbage dinner while explaining that corned beef is actually a Jewish delicatessen staple, not Irish. The hosts debate whether pastrami is better, discuss the rarity of Irish Jews, and argue about proper cabbage preparation (hint: sautéing in bacon grease is superior). Tad brags about his legit Irish peasant food—Guinness stew and colcannon—and offers to share recipes in the Discord.
Voice of America & Government Propaganda Machine
Robbbie gets heated about a Reddit debate over whether defunding Voice of America (the federally-funded international broadcasting network) is shutting down 'free speech.' He breaks down why both left and right are missing the point: it's not a handout, it's literally the government funding itself. The hosts discuss Carrie Lake's appointment as director and joke that even propaganda departments couldn't make people support Trump hard enough.
Fighting Stories from the 90s (and Beyond)
The guys compare getting punched in the face, with Tad recalling being sucker-punched in junior high over allegedly asking a girl about her nipples (her boyfriend didn't like it). Dingo shares his coffee shop incident where a shorter guy shoved him in the throat but couldn't reach his face. Robbbie admits to laying two black eyes and a fat lip on a kid over a dodgeball game—and his dad was proud about it.
MSG, Chinese Food, & Spousal Stupidity
Tad reveals he's never told the Chinese restaurant 'no MSG' despite his wife asking him to for years, claiming she gets headaches from MSG. When he finally tells her he never said it, she realizes she's been fine the whole time. The hosts debate whether MSG is actually bad (it's not) and why people blame it for feeling shitty after Chinese food (it's the salt and dehydration, idiots).
I mean, they're both. It's the same thing... the spices. It's the herbs. It's the crust... Spices are the spice of life. —Tad Nasty (during the corned beef vs. pastrami debate)← All episode posts
