Episode 66 – Clown Shoes

Great to hear you guys in the studio again. Great show.

Clown Shoes — maybe the best name for a beer since . . . I don’t know . . . forever. Glad you guys liked it. I’m sure it’s a beer I’ll never taste unless I did the red eye out to Pittsburgh (tempting).

Interesting conversation you guys had about what you would and would not eat or drink. I’ve been talking with Rachael Oehring about her project “Gagging Towards Bethlehem” who is raising money for a book project she’s working on to go to the core of why she can’t stand certain foods. She’s been notoriously picky about what she eats. I will be having a phone interview with her next month and I’m going to ask a ton of questions, because I’m interested.

Is it cultural? Are we picky about what we eat because we weren’t forced to eat certain things as children and now that we’re adults no one can tell us what to eat? Or are we just not adventurous enough? Here’s Sick Puppy about to eat Durian — hats off to you, brother. I see food as a challenge. I’ll eat anything now. If people in villages are living off of grubs, and they’re not puking their guts out, then it must be OK to eat grubs.

The way I see it – if it’s dumber than me, slower than me, and tastes relatively decent – pass the salt, bitches.
