Ep. 128 - The McRib Is Just a Loaf - 01/05/2026

Peaches and Viktor kick off this episode by solemnly (and somewhat confusedly) mourning the demolition of the iconic Idaho Falls water tower — a structure neither of them has a photo with, yet somehow inspires handcuff-yourself-to-it levels of Facebook outrage. From there, the conversation spirals into peak small-town chaos: hypothetical arrests, neon sign envy, and whether Idaho Falls should simply bulldoze downtown and replace it with a Trader Joe’s that has intentionally terrible parking.Things take a hard left into fast-food philosophy when McDonald’s gets hit with yet another McRib lawsuit, prompting a deep, uncomfortable realization that the McRib is less “rib” and more “barbecue loaf.” Viktor recounts surviving a freezer full of stolen McRibs, while both hosts debate whether pickles belong on any sandwich (spoiler: this nearly becomes a civil war). Culver’s secrecy, In-N-Out ordering etiquette, and the absolute uselessness of water chestnuts all get dragged into the crossfire.The episode closes by diagnosing the modern millennial midlife crisis — which apparently involves espresso machines, houseplants that actively injure you, towel warmers that don’t fit anywhere, dangerously large TVs, and the realization that most millennials simply cannot afford to spiral properly. It’s low-energy, hyper-relatable, and exactly the kind of episode that sneaks up on you and makes you laugh harder than you expect.
