    E8 Fermentation 101

    Let's take a dive into the inebriating world of fermentation! Listen as Anna unintentionally scars Jeidan with the fermented foods and beverages that people thousands of years ago made and enjoyed. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it! Then, we get into how bacteria play a role, the genres of fermentation, as well as the thing everyone cares about these days... The health benefits! And will Jeidan ever recover? We have NO clue!!

    What could possibly be more Canadian than The Great Maple Syrup Heist? AKA the biggest heist in Canadian history, and the topic of this week's minisode! Anna can barely contain her excitement as she takes us through the whole sticky operation. And how did they go undetected for an entire year? We have NO clue!

    M5 Commentary: This is a Gardening Show (Part 1)

    This week we declare our opinions that nobody asked us for, as Anna covers episodes 1-3 of This is a Gardening Show, Zach Galifianakis' new special on Netflix! We highly recommend it, go check it out. Jeidan will be bestowing his commentary of episodes 4-6 upon us in the near future, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for that.

    E5 The Tales of Spices

    In our longest episode yet, Jeidan spares no detail about the spicy history and tales of spices! More specifically, Cinnamon, Cloves, Peppercorn, and Nutmeg. How they're grown, how they're harvested, and all the wars and battles fought because of them. And where did all the flying serpents come from? We have NO clue! P.S. Edmond Albius was the 14 year old slave in Madagascar who figured out how to pollinate the vanilla bean without the native fly that did so in Mexico.

    M4 Rabbit Scandals

    Today, we share the spicy details of two different rabbit scandals: The Peacebunny Foundation, and the Attack of the Killer Swamp Rabbit! The latter speaks for itself, but the story of Peacebunny Foundation captures the essence of 'The Dark Knight's' quote, "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." And why are rabbits attacking the president?! We have NO clue!
