    23. Boiled Peanuts

    The boll weevil is an insect that survives almost exclusively on cotton plants. It migrated to the American south from Mexico and, upon its arrival in the 1920s, upended the entire nation's agricultural infrastructure. They left destruction in the wake and depleted the region of its most valuable crop within five years of contact. Farms vanished, families starved, and the earth turned brittle and poisoned. Of this economic and environmental disaster, Dominic Reisig, professor of entomology at North Carolina State University, says, "I cannot think of another insect that's displaced so many people, changed the economy of rural America, and was so environmentally injurious that everybody clearly rallied around and said we have to get rid of it." Horrible stuff. So why does a statue dedicated to the boll weevil stand in the town square of Enterprise, Alabama? Well, the way Enterprise sees it, the boll weevil was a wake-up call. It forced the state to rethink things and, thanks to some help from George Washington Carver, find their salvation in growing peanuts. These events bring us to today, where a different but no less significant moment in the peanut's legacy is taking place. Two handsome raconteurs, one a picky eater, the other not, are sitting down to drink wine and break shell. Will the nut on their plates find a place in their hearts, or will they wish the boll weevil had finished the job? The next chapter in the history of American agriculture is here. Boiled peanuts start now! Jackie and Mario's next sketch show is set for 9 PM on December 1st at the Peoples Improv Theater in NYC.

    22. Soup

    Soups on! Tomato, chicken noodle, lentil, lobster bisque, and minestrone, to be precise! But while these warm bowls of broth for some may evoke beloved memories of missing school or watching Seinfeld, Mario and Jackie have no such attachments. They can't stand the stuff! But facing food-focused fears is this show's purpose, and nothing says autumn quite like hot, steaming bowls of liquid sustenance. So the boys put on their bibs, un-slotted their spoons, and broke down these dishes from...well...SOUP to nuts! So are these meals chicken soup for the soul? Or will Jackie and Mario gladly hear the phrase, "No soup for you!"  Jackie and Mario's next sketch show is set for 9 PM on November 3rd at the Peoples Improv Theater in NYC. Purchase your tickets here (https://thepit-nyc.com/events/omfg-im-so-embarrassed-a-sketch-show/). New episodes every other Thursday. Theme by Mario Marques (https://www.instagram.com/knip_dyolf/).

    21. Chopped Cheese

    Jackie has to be up in 5 hours, and he's got a long day ahead of him, so no witty description to laugh your butt off to this week. You'll get nothing and like it! Except for a brand, spanking new episode, which you will also like. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away at the same time.

    20. PEP Special: Ratatouille (The Movie)

    It's been five episodes, and you know what that means!...Oh. Don't you? Well, every five episodes, Mario and Jackie break from their format while remaining in the culinary world. They've had pizza-eating contests, chicken sandwich duels, and even revisited restaurants where deep, personal traumas occurred. But this week, they are just reviewing a Pixar movie! To quote the TikTok musical, will Remy (the Ratatouille) be the rat of all our dreams? Or do the picky pals channel the dastardly Anton Ego and leave a scathing review that will ruin director/writer Brad Bird? For those unfamiliar, the movie SAYS that a lousy review killed Gusteau! Talk about taking things a little too personally. That being said, only five-star reviews for the podcast, please. WE LOVE YOU!!! Remember, anyone can listen to a podcast.  New episodes every other Thursday. Follow the show at pickyeaterpod on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/pickyeaterpod/).

    19. Arroz Con Salchichas

    Mario, Mario, Mario. This lunatic, no doubt trying to get back at Jackie for the last episode's surprise drink, brought a secret sausage to the party (apologies to Seth Rogen). But as Porky Pig never said, "that ISN'T all folks." This episode's featured item is Arroz Con Salchichas, a childhood favorite and adult comfort food for Mario. Will Jackie use the opportunity to dunk on something near and dear to his friend, or does this snack join Sushi and Biryani in the hallowed halls of stuff he digs now? We propose these questions. The episode has the answers. Listen and learn some Puerto Rican geography while you're at it. New episodes every other Thursday.

    18. Pickles

    In the immortal words of Maurice Pitka, Mike Myers's shameful caricature of an Indian guru, "Give me a pound. Lock it down. Break the pickle. Tickle, tickle." While this episode features no pounding, locking, or tickling, it is about pickles. The boys sample some gherkins for your entertainment and Jackie's immense displeasure. Are these succulently salty sausage-shaped treats like everyone's favorite candy? Sour, sweet, gone! Or is this meal just a briny bummer? Only time and you listening will tell. But don't worry. Jackie has a surprise drink for Mario to try if the pickles don't cut the mustard. Also, THERE'S A NEW THEME SONG! ENJOY!    New episodes every other Thursday.  Follow the show at pickyeaterpod on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/pickyeaterpod/).

    17. Chili: The Return

    It has been two years, six months, and fourteen days since Mario Marques and Jackie McKenna sat down and shared a meal. Well, that's not true. They're friends. But did they eat with microphones during those meals? No way. The pandemic, Jackie's lazy editing, and fear kept this podcast on ice for a long time, but now it's back! Welcome, to the new and improved Picky Eater Podcast! The audio is better. The show is funnier. Mario is in a band, and Jackie goes to therapy. What more could anyone ask of two podcast hosts?! In all seriousness, please enjoy the show, and apologies for the hiatus. PEP 2.0 is a go!  New episodes every other Thursday.  Follow the show at pickyeaterpod on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/pickyeaterpod/).
