Going Nuts: A Deep Dive into Our Favorite Snacks

Hey nut lovers! This week's round is one you won't want to miss as we go absolutely nuts about... well, nuts! From the leguminous peanut to the pricey pecan, and even the tough-to-crack Brazil nut, we've got all kinds of nuttiness covered.

Jay and Shayne debate their top nut picks, get into some nutty history, and even drop a public service announcement about Nutella and palm oil.

Additionally, we plan a trip to pick pecans and give a shoutout to Trader Joe's chocolate hazelnut spread. Tune in for a nut-filled adventure that’s both educational and hilarious. Let's get cracking!

What the heck did you just say? I thought you'd never ask! I said, "Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory!" Your fearless and highly intellectual hosts tackle a complex theory and explain it in a way that even they can understand.
