In this near-final episode of Joe & Reese's Pickle & Boot Shop, the hosts lament unrecorded pre-show laughs and kids blasting Futurama before sharing "winged" desperation dinners: Reese's "night wad" nails the old food pyramid, while Joe's "turkey apples onions" skillet—later boosted with spuds—turned into a kid-requested birthday hit born from lean times. They rank podcasts, giving The Dollop's dark history lessons the edge over Stuff You Should Know's fact-heavy snoozes, and wonder if Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend could rescue the genre. We hope you hate it.
