Thanks for listening to our first season!  We’ll be back in a few weeks after we take some time to relax, think about cool new ways to entertain you, and probably eat some candy.

]]> bacon,corn,Lester's Fixins,pumpkin,pumpkin pie,soda,sweet corn We recreate a (mostly) traditional thanksgiving dinner in soda form! Is this the wave of the future where humans get together and drink their Thanksgiving meal, or is it a Soylent Green style dystopia? Either way, there will probably be food riots. Join us as we see if Lester’s Fixins can dethrone Jones Soda: the king of disgusting holiday sodas!

Spoiler alert! We don’t find out.

]]> Ghostbusters,Hi-C,Hostess,movie,movies,pumpkin spice,tie-in,Twinkies We take a trip down memory lane to the halcyon days of early 2016. Our friend David Cohen drops by the studio with some vintage Ghostbusters Twinkies, and we lift our long standing ban on pumpkin spice in the studio. Will we regret our decision? Always.
Also, weirdly, we get into Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince spoilers.
