First Valentine's Day (Ancient Rome, 496 AD)
Debut Buddies
02/10/25 • 130 min
Do you smell that? Chocolate. Roses. Some special occasion fragrance. And, of course, the dewy marinara of a romantic pizza tarp! It's Valentine's Day and that's LOVE you're smelling on the air. A smell so potent that this episode is all about the FIRST VALENTINE'S DAY! Was it always about buying stuff for your paramour? We'll let you know, but only if you listen to the show! Plus, we get cinematic and etiquettical in the MouthGarf Report... And as always, there's I See What You Did There.

Transformers and Taco Cleanse with Becca Lipman
Debut Buddies
02/10/19 • 66 min
Becca Lipman returns to the show, to defend her first-appearance victory. She, Shannon, and John dabble in topics ranging from Transformers (1986) to Haitian Voudu to Missing White Woman Syndrome to the Taco Cleanse. There's Pomme ou Pomme de Terre, Hall or Oates, and a bonus question impression of a wealthy dowager... and then we talk about the at-the-time soon-to-be-played Super Bowl... but that conversation ends up being primarily about Girl Scout Cookies. GO GET SOME COOKIES! Oh, and Nate wants a nemesis... but finds out he might already have one in a DRAMATIC REVEAL!

"These Buddies were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should..." This episode, Kelly, Chelsea, and Nate make versions of the First Pumpkin Pie, to... varying levels of success. Kelly makes a pie from the 1500s. Nate and Chelsea make one from the 1600s, that's really just a gourd full of custard. It's... food, mostly! Plus, we play I See What You Did There and give you updates with the Mouthguard/MouthGarfield Report! And there's a haunting at Chelsea's!
