Listen as we google things and use all 5 senses and 2000 parts to chew gum yet again. This time its all 5 all the time and as we edge our taste buds we wonder if we're ready for this most XTREME of gum brands. We also wonder: are kids into these? what about gamers? what does it mean to ReSpawn? In hindsight, our expectations may have been a little too high.

Today we're hoarse yet velvety, smooth but rough, wet yet dry and whipped but also hand scraped as we taste granita aka chopped ice. We're the most on trend we'll ever be as we wonder if its too soon to joke about Mt. Vesuvius, debate coffee brew strength and hope to be periodically useful before our listeners demand Justice for Molly!

This is one of those episodes where we learn about ourselves and then judge Matthew. We discuss the history of re-useable water bottles, our preferences, hot takes and pleasant observations while debating glass, plastic or steel and learning about the newsie to urchin pipeline. Take it from an Elder Punk whose favorite beverage is water that this show is all about taking big swigs.

Today we're not sponsored and discover that the more we learn the less we think. We begin with low expectations about these 'functional' 'biotic' sodas and debate what the going rate is for our show because we're the real deal. No artificial sweetners here! As we drinks these fads in a can and commune with St Elsewhere and St Elmo, we realize that we're full of bacteria but we can still bring sexy back.

This episode is, obviously, filled with mouth sounds. Proceed at your own risk.

Today we're bringing you the sequel that nobody wanted but is actually very necessary. We wonder what 'DDS' stands for as we bite into these chonky boys from tubes, barrels and sticks. The masticatory vibes are real for take offs and landings so while we're minimally flavored, and softer for longer, we hope to someday RESPAWN as the Dark Crystal. Happy chewing!

Get your nose in the game because this is a LEGIT episode we promise. With a little help from the Magic Duoz and Dumpster Dan, we taste these wimpy, weird crackers before taking a pop quiz blindfolded. Then we chat care packages, horror novels and urban legends before teasing even more cheezy sequels.

What is the deal with this and why are we talking about it? We're super trendy again as we get into the history of coffee jelly, try a store bought version and a homemade one all before Mr. Etymology stops by. We get into the age old agar vs gelatin debate before discussing non-funny cartoons and ... creamy stuff?

Warning: This episode contains a LOT of mouth noises.

Today we're the most on trend we've ever been but don't get used to it. The potential for dental emergencies is HIGH as we encounter freeze drove plasma and cheese balls before hopping onto a new stupid candy bandwagon We're shellacked and popped as we wonder why humans do this and then ask how Matthew is like a Skittle.
