Deep dives
Bosnian Breakfast Obsession
The podcast episode discusses the TikTok trend of people trying the 'Bosnian breakfast' to see if it de-ages them. Although the actual Bosnian breakfast consists of espresso and a cigarette, the trend involves people consuming an assortment of different foods. The hosts express their fascination with Bosnian culture and their desire to visit Bosnia.
Contrasting Experiences in Croatia and Bosnia
The hosts share their experiences in Croatia, highlighting the differences between the touristy areas and the more northern region. They express disappointment with the food quality in northern Croatia and compare it unfavorably to Italian cuisine. In contrast, the hosts praise Bosnian food and the welcoming nature of Bosnian people, attributing it partly to the Middle Eastern influences on the culture.
Dangers of Traveling to El Salvador
One of the hosts recounts their visits to El Salvador, highlighting the dangerous aspect of the country. They mention encountering a bread kiosk guarded by a man with an AK-47 and the overall sense of unease due to the high crime rate. The hosts also touch on their experiences in McDonald's and other establishments with bouncers, emphasizing the rowdy and sometimes dangerous atmosphere that can prevail in these locations.
Nothing but riffs. Nothing but jokes. Noting but Riley revealing more about himself and everyone saying 'I'm confused' or 'oh, that makes sense.' And this one features friend of the show and repeat guest Alex Haddow as well.
