Episode 733: Hot Sandwiches

Today we're in the mind of a sandwich but memory lane keeps yanking us back. We face our fears of odorous funk as we share our hot takes on various hot sandwiches. We're particular and peculiar as we chat hot ham, oozing cheese, Iowa Skinnies and dense, bouncy meatballs before eventually bursting into song. Episode 154: Favorite SandwichesEpisode 219: Ham and CheeseEpisode 7: Irish SpringEpisode 663: Breakfast sandwichEpisode 603: French DipsMatthew's Now but Wow - Cry for Me, Argentina: My Life as a Failed Child Star by Tamara Yajia Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is this all just a decadent dream? Today we're watery, whipped and synonymous with sophistication as we tackle these crackly topped, flour free, confusingly textured desserts.

This episode is not for the faint of ears. Producer Abby would like the listeners to know that she removed SO MANY sucking sounds from this episode so you're welcome. M and M taste North America's foremost lollipop brands (straightforward candy with handles) as they endure mystery flavors, mouth abrasions and nightmare puppets. We wonder how many licks it takes to reach the end of the show and what Ozzy was thinking before learning an important lesson.'Don't Put it In Your Mouth!'

We start this episode like we do all our episodes, by telling you what we are NOT talking about. After that is out of the way, we learn The Sausage Sizzle, lexography and Matthew's super villain origin story. These sandwiches filled with hot beef injections bring out fiery rants, bun friction and toasting tips before we reveal our dream backstage riders.

Today we're all about seasonal eats in the southern hemisphere as we slice, rip and chunk. We ask 'what's in a name?' as we taste this colorful yet suspicious salad and reminisce about our island partying days. Matthew enjoys the soup while Molly enjoys the extras as we debate the comedic nature of evil little faces. Janet Fletcher's article about Caprese Salad Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We're the show with the WOW! now that we do what Producer Abby tells us. We're full of surprises, reveals and betrayals as we share our meals, snacks and drinks over five days in September. Sharon Stone Fruit plays a recurring guest role in this montage of meals along with Cliff bars, peach corners, Trader Joe's and overpriced bread. After a quick Quantum Leap digression we share what we learned about each other and ourselves and how we are forever changed by this experience. Molly's Grub Street DietEpisode 688: Icesmitten kitchen's double chocolate zucchini breadEpisode 207: LeftoversMatthew's Now but Wow! - Ekiben Hitoritabi (Train Lunch Solo Journey), by Jun Hayase and Hiroshi Sakurai.  Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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. Matrix-inspired commercialAnother commercial Gum 1Gum 2  Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.
