“Free continental breakfast.” Are there three more beautiful words in the English language? This week, Tim’s fresh off the plane from Hollywood and thinks he’s too good for them now. Also, we discuss the various items available at a continental breakfast, but mostly we hypothesize if the bagel conveyor toaster ovens can possibly be improved.

We've never done an episode about Pepsi, despite one host being a certified soda freak, so we're righting that wrong this week and taking the Pepsi Challenge. And as card carrying members of Generation Next™ we have plenty to say about the world's #2 soda brand.

We did an episode on Wendy's last week and neglected to talk about Dave Thomas, the "Where's the Beef?" lady or the attractive woman they had play Wendy in commercials in the 2010s (aka "Sexy Wendy"). We regret the oversight, and offer you this episode where we talk about all that stuff, and Tom contemplates adopting a new lifestyle.

Wendy’s is in the news for trying to use AI to price gouge their customers and we’re here to talk about it.. We also discuss their (mostly) pretty great menu and take a trip down Frescata Lane. If you’re expecting us to talk about Frosty’s or Dave Thomas though, you’re gonna have to wait until next week.

There's a new ridiculous thing in Las Vegas, and it's a big ball that plays videos. This week we're talking about Sphere (not Sphere, thank you very much), the immersive event venue that makes going to a U2 concert feel like you're on drugs. We also talk about local Long Island musician Billy Joel's new song. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you heard about the water cup that everyone is losing their minds over? It's called the Stanley Cup, but it has nothing to do with hockey, and if you drink water out of anything else you're a dumb loser.

One of the world's wealthiest and most beloved rodents is in the news this week, as Mickey Mouse's first short entered the public domain.

Well, it's time to wave goodbye to 2023 and then turn around and wave hello to 2024. This week we take a look back at 2023, but instead of talking about any of the bad stuff that's happened we mostly just talk about Taylor Swift.

It's another holiday week, so we're doing another very special (and very low-lift) Gauntlet episode. What's that, you ask? We asked our Patreon supporters for topic ideas, and in this episode we're once again going through them and deciding which will be future episodes and which ones will go to hell. Merry Christmas.

’Tis the season, so this week we’re talking about the top Christmas songs of all time. We also find out that Thanksgiving songs exist and that Christmas song trivia is kinda boring.

In another spooooooky Halloween Month episode, we talk about some of the most notoriously cursed movie productions, where real-life bad things happened to people making movies about fake bad things happening.

Juice is a sometimes delicious and always unhealthy drink that we usually either give to children or mix with alcohol to mask the taste of the poison we're drinking. One of us was so excited to talk about juice that he went out and had some celebratory drinks before recording this episode... try to guess who it was!
