Low Culture Boil

Amber chats with Mallory Young (creator of Dirt Children) about their first ever Monster Jam. They loved it, immediately considered themselves experts and will now teach you all about it. It's pretty simple, Monster Jam is basically gymnastics or horse dancing, but with trucks. Also, Monster Mutt is the best truck to ever exist.

Waffle House rules, both as a restaurant and as a hub for insane crimes that people wouldn't dare commit anywhere else. Rax and Amber share their hash brown orders and discuss Waffle House's FEMA readiness and diner-themed record label in today's free episode.

Thank you to the listeners who suggested Riverdale! We love it! The fashion, the bold lips, and the DRAMA. Also, we would kill for a malt at Pop's Diner. Did you know in an alternate universe it could have starred Louis CK as an Archie from the future? Yeah, thank god that didn't happen. Speaking of God, before we get into Riverdale we talk about Amber's experience going to church last week and how mushrooms should take over human civilization.        

This ep is a real treat! Come hear about the classic British Carry On films, they made 31 of them so they must be great! Phoebe Roy and Milo Edwards, our UK correspondents, and hosts of Masters of Our Domain Pod, came on LCB to help us understand these bawdy films. We focused on Carry On Camping, the movie where 90 year olds play 40 year olds and 40 year olds play teenagers, it's a romp!

Come listen to our podcast, where we talk about how we don't get why podcasts are so popular for the first 10 mins! After we get over that hurdle we talk about Baywatch, the most popular show in the world in the 90s. Honestly, this should still be the most popular show in the world, it is action packed, full of butt montages and super dumb, we love it!

We can't believe we haven’t covered Mac & Cheese before! The dish that finally opened Rax's cold child heart to cheese. Amber and Rax finally get into it, and they are in person so they wear their best Mac outfits. Check out the YouTube vid (https://youtu.be/vstTLgtbpPk) to see what that means. We talk about the history, the ways to eat it and foot doctors. CORRECTION: Matt likes his Kraft without milk, not without butter.

Amber is joined by Tony Boswell of Minion Death Cult and Matt Christman of Chapo Trap House to talk about Minions, the famous little yellow guys! Why do they have those goggles? Why are right wing boomers obsessed with them? Can we harness their power for good? Who are their creator's lawyers? If we learned anything in this ep it's that Pierre Coffin needs better lawyers.

Join Rax and Amber in telling the tale of those eight crazy nights that are Hanukkah/Chanukkah/Khanike/but not Hanuka, ever, because that's just plain bad vibes! 

From high class luncheons to working class lunch counters, there is no denying, the PB&J is for boss bitches. It was invented by Julia Davis Chandler, though nobody gives her the credit she deserves. We also have John Harvey Kellogg to thank, for telling women they shouldn't eat meat products or masturbate. No matter which way you slice it, the PB&J has a rich and creamy history.

Amber and Rax talk about the social network that connects and divides thanksgiving tables everywhere, Facebook. Why is Facebook beef so juicy? Are boomers' minds safe on the internet? And what do zoomers do to humiliate themselves now that they don't need to tell their aunts when "it's complicated”?
