296: What Did Burger King Teach Us About Marriage?

Snowed in and slightly unhinged, Mike and Jess use a Burger King “Fully Loaded Croissan’wich” as a launching pad for a conversation about memory, taste, marriage, and the strange intimacy of what we eat. What starts as a fast-food breakfast review quickly becomes something deeper: why certain foods unlock childhood, how convenience has reshaped culture, and how couples stay connected through small, ridiculous shared experiments. Along the way they touch on Trader Joe’s trauma, PTA freezer sandwiches, sibling fights over peanut butter, and the wild pre-contactless days of DoorDash. Sometimes a croissant is just a croissant. Sometimes it’s a mirror for your relationship.
