It's the Robicelli Argument Clinic's end of summer spectacular, with so many rapid fire arguments that we can't begin to list them all. Evan tries explain what Monsanto is to Noah, Allison bemoans her inability to befriend a fancy boat person, Matt yells at everyone for sucking at their jobs. It's a fun one, folks.

During the height of Popeyes Chicken Sandwichmania, we were burying our friend James who was skipping dialysis because, as an hourly food service worker, he couldn't afford to miss work. Luckily, this week we had booked social justice journalist Lisa McCray, the perfect guest for our "very special episode". There's a lot to learn about race, equity, and how utterly f***ed food capitalism is. Plus Noah tells us what it's like to fry bacon in the nude, because even in tough times we stay on brand.

Damian Higgins - aka Dieselboy - has been one of the coolest people on earth since birth: he's the son of yacht rock royalty, a super-famous drum and bass DJ, and a frequent artistic collaborator with some of NYC's hottest chefs and mixologists. And, for some reason he enjoys Allison & Matt's company, so here we all are! We argue about food tattoos, Noah makes us discuss Komodo dragons, and then we all force Evan to explain how snakes "do it". We'll probably make that last part a recurring segment. 

This week we welcome James Beard nominated cookbook author, Washington Post columnist and pie KWEEN Cathy Barrow to experience this audible crapshow live and in person! Outside of pies we discuss dump cakes, aquatic taxidermy, Dump Cakes, and whether astrology applies to cats. All of these are very important topics, and we're happy to help you stay on top of them. 

Allison has long contended that the worldwide phenomenon of Diner en Blanc -- a paid ticket event that requires you to bring your own food, tables, chairs, and decor while dressed entirely in white -- is incredibly dumb. On this episode the organizers of this year's Baltimore DEB, Kimberly Shorter and Candice Owens, join the podgang to convince her otherwise. They may have sold out of 2,500 tickets almost immediately, but they don't understand Allison's hatred of white pants! Those are dumb, too!

Have you every participated in or been a casual observer of potato salad Twitter? It is a very real thing, and it is intense. On this episode, we fulfill the request of Brian Koppelman, creator of Showtime's Billions and active potato salad theorist. The podgang each bring their personal recipe to the table, we eat, we discuss, we yell. Also discussed: why Allison and Matt pronounce capicola as "gabagool" and why The Sopranos can go fuck themselves.

A few weeks ago we got a DM from Keith Chow (co-founder of Nerds of Color & host of the Southern Fried Asians podcast) saying he had opinions on Americanized Chinese Food, and absolutely had to be on the show to share them with all you good people out there. And share them he did! We also talk about the magical event that was Wicomicon, abortion, making sci-fi inclusive, gerrymandering, and argue about the best items at an Asian buffet.
