My/Mochi Mango Ice Cream: Liar, Teaser, Pants in the Freezer (Ep 54)

Okay, let's be clear from the start. My/Mochi isn't the liar here. They do stretch the truth a little (along with the mochi), but the boys on the other hand—your own Froze Bros—come clean as big time liars. You gotta listen to the whole episode to know what we mean. This week also marks a rare calendar convergence: Mardi Gras and Lunar New Year fall on the same day—something that only happens once every nineteen years. And we're celebrating immigrant food traditions with My/Mochi mango ice cream balls, a Japanese-American invention. Darren puts a whole mochi in his mouth on a dare, and we do some deep-dive detective work into the history of who actually invented mochi ice cream and who's profiting from it now. In the closer, Darren tries frozen pączki (Polish Fat Thursday donuts) and king cake delivered from New Orleans, while Max strikes out at every grocery store in Philly. Plus: the difference between "a few" and "a handful," the compatibility of monkeys and rats, and what happens when two grown men realize they've been telling everyone they know about injected penises.
