    Ep. 42: Why Does Restaurant Coffee Suck?

    We put the RANT in Restaurant and ask that unhappy question: Why does restaurant coffee suck? We open up the bitch-bag again and whine somethin’ fierce about great restaurants with awful coffee. We unpack the secret coffee language held within a toilet and listen as Jon finds out that Anthony Bourdain thinks coffee is useless and probably wouldn’t like Joshua very much at all. Grab your favourite gym sock and fill it with coffee because we’re gonna gripe!

    Ep. 39: Arabica Alternatives

    The guys go off the rails again.  Get ready for a long chat… but we promise it’s going somewhere. Hearing about more than just arabica? What else is out there?

We apologize to everyone that knows how to pronounce scientific words - as you'll learn: we can't.
