When's Food?

Spring is in the air and we’re blossoming into … even bigger idiots. Sure, most Family Dinner episodes are a hot mess, but call the fire department because this one is ablaze! What’s in store for your ears? Spring, science talk (yuck) about teeth and nails (even more yuck), conspiracy theories, the Mandela Effect, Jamba Juice, JNCO Jeans, Miracle Whip…we can’t even explain it. No brain cells, just vibes.

Beep beep, who’s got the keys to the Jeep? (Spoiler alert: Junior does!) Get ready to hit the road with When’s Food, because we’re talking all about driving. Your favorite backseat drivers are hitting the pedal to the metal with this road trip of an episode. Road rage, driving in weather, paper maps, honking, stop signs…we’re speeding through all sorts of topics (but NEVER running a red light). Get in, loser we’re going … to listen to this new episode.

Get ready to twirl your spoons and slurp into your mouth because we’re talking about the slipperiest carb of them all: pasta! In this episode we’re going over our sauce preferences, talking about pasta names and figuring out if Chef Boyardee is trash or a national treasure. Speaking of slippery… worms are back! (And you’ll never guess why.) Fettuccini! Maultasche! Spaghetti! Cavatappi! Tagliatelle! Rotini! Mafaldine! Are those pastas or did we make them up?! Who knows. Tune in and find out!

What do RuPaul’s Drag Race, bitcoin, chocolate hearts and pimple popping all have in common? Not a damn thing! That could only mean one thing: it’s time for another Family Dinner episode. We sat down and talked about anything and everything that was on our minds. The metaverse? Sure. Serial killer vibes? Of course. NFTs? Why not. Spice World butts? Absolutely. All is fair in love and war and Family Dinner episodes.

Stop playing with that bubble wrap; we’ve got to get a move on! I think we can all agree that moving might just be one THE worst things in existence. (Giving blood and colonoscopies might give it a run for its money, but we digress.) In this episode we unpack various times that moving has played a roll in our lives and, of course, took some left turns into random tangent territory. Whether it be across the country or down the street, there was always one thing our moves have in common — we hated every minute of it. Grab your packing tape, you’re gonna want to stick around for every minute of our moving mania!

Psssssssssssssssssssch. Can you just HEAR them seltzer bubbles popping? You’re definitely gonna need a drink after this episode because we’re talking all about booze! Vodka, tequila and rum — oh my! When did we start drinking? (If our mom’s are reading this: age 21, of course.) What are our drinks of choice? How has our drinking habits changed over the years? We’ve got all these answers and more to quench your thirst in this doozy of a boozy episode.

We are saying goodbye to 2021 the best way we know how…with a big ol’ family dinner episode! As with all our family dinners, we are all over the place. The first course is a little serving of Santa Claus and holiday traditions. Following that, our entrée is a big plate of states of matter and their relationship with food. And for dessert we’ve got a delicious … bagel husk (wtf?!) A roller coaster of an episode to match the roller coaster of a year it has been. We’ll see you in 2022!

Are your notifications on? Because we’re sliding into your DMs! It’s time we dive into the digital world and talk all things social media. In this episode we discuss which platform we couldn’t live without, how social media has shaped our lives and even come up with our own social network! We’ve got some shinning starts of days gone by (any LiveJournal fans out there?) and—of course—the current-reigning kweens of content. Will this episode make it on your Top 8 or just get us shadow-banned? Only time will tell!

This might just be the healthiest episode we have ever done… and we’re so sorry about that. That’s right, it’s about time we finally eat our VEGETABLES. What does cruciferous mean? Is a baby corn really a corn? Why do olives exist? What does okra look like (and what is an okra)? Tomatoes? Potatoes? We are answering all of these questions and more in our newest episode (because we googled A LOT of things, which is very weird for us and we promise it won’t happen again).

Can you believe that we’ve been screaming into the mic for THREE years?! (We sure can’t!) We’re celebrating our third anniversary and the end of season six with a Family Dinner episode. But the party doesn’t stop there! Everyone’s favorite Canadian is BACK. That’s right, for one night only our favorite garbage person, Miss Becki Peckham, is back back back again. Becki returned for this very special episode and, as you can imagine, things went off the rails, fast. Cheers to three years, When’s Foodies!

In the words of Madame X: Music! Makes the! People! Come together! Tunes have often found their way into our episodes, so we thought it was about time the beats had one of their own. Music took us on a surprising trip down memory lane: the first CD we owned, who the first artist was we saw in concert, where we were when THAT dance number released. Want the answers? Grab your headphones (because wires are cool again), tune in and find out!

Who’s ready for our watermelon sugar?! We’re diving into the juiciest part of the food pyramid in this episode! Fruit seems like such an innocent topic, right? What could possibly be controversial about an apple? Just you wait, When’s Foodies! This isn’t your summer party fruit salad, we go full-on scream in this fruit-fight of an episode. Who hates blueberries? Orange juice with pulp? RAISINS. Spit out those seeds and tune in!

This episode will leave you feeling squeaky clean because we’re talking about chores! That’s right, the chores that we hate to do, the chores that we love to do (is that even a thing?) and the chores that we got paid to do as kids…now can someone please give us an allowance for cleaning our rooms again?

Hey all you cool cats and kittens! You better sharpen those claws, because it’s time to talk about our other furry friends: cats! We hope you’re excited to hear about Pat’s traumatic childhood cat story, what Junior thinks that a cat, a tattoo, and a house have in common, and the super special added bonus of Lindsay’s “Cat Facts!” Meowwww

Hope you’re hungry; it’s time for our next family dinner! And that’s not all, we’re also welcoming our next dinner guest to the table! Give a warm welcome to our friend Ben Siegel, a local writer, journalist, arts critique and master of the sandwich. Ben got the full When’s Food buffet of topics: membranes, eating mayonnaise with a spoon, contrasting condiments and—of course—tape worms! Did Ben enjoy the meal or just end up with indigestion? Tune in and find out.
