Best of Season 13– Another season wrapped up in a nice 43 minutes. Always one of our most popular episodes and we know how lazy you can be by just checking out our best of picks. A lot of you are missing the extended discussion we’ve had on the original episode as well. That’s like 70 hours of listening to the theories of flat earth and how the artwork on the can caused Dave to make a questionable decision. Yep that’s us gazing over our 2nd James Beard Media Award nomination to challenge you to make the same level of questionable decisions…. Or just skip to the good part. Thanks for listening and subscribing.  

All of these were our top level rating of 5 unless otherwise stated.
