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!

This episode is a HOOT!
In this episode, as corrected last week ; ), we talk about KFC being a tradition in China, but it's actually Japan, and for that error we apologize.

First Pumpkin Pie (c. 16th / 17th Century)
Debut Buddies
11/21/22 • 79 min
"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!

First Ultramarathon (1974) with Cabe Waldrop
Debut Buddies
04/21/25 • 122 min
Running. You might say it's like walking but faster... Now imagine running for 26.2 miles! That would be a marathon, right? Sure. Now double it. 52.4 miles!? That would qualify as an ultramarathon! But we're not stopping there. Special guest, Cabe Waldrop, tells us a little story about a man named Gordy Ainsleigh who ran 100 miles (in a race for HORSES) to see what the human body, some buttermilk, and a little gumption could do. We're talking about the FIRST ULTRAMARATHON! Plus, the Mouthgarf Report and I See What You Did There!

In 2025, the United States experienced a rarity... a nonconsecutive U.S. President took office and the nation was shook by just how nonconsecutive it was after more than 100 years of unmitigated consecutiveness. But, this wasn't the first time a President failed to continue being President only to unfail that same continuation four years later. On this episode, we explore the First Nonconsecutive U.S. Presidency and delve into a man far less Muppety than his name. Oh, and we defy gravity in the MouthGarf Report, and play another charming round of I See What You Did There.
