Me Tongue is the Me Bit for Me // Ungion [127]
Summary
The hosts discuss the science of taste, debating whether flavor is determined by the tongue, nose, or brain, and share anecdotes about sour foods. They announce a new draft concept for foods named after places and update their Sloppy Joe’s Bingo game, scheduling the next session for October 16th. The conversation shifts to pizza consumption habits, leading to a humorous exchange about the pronunciation of "onion" and a debate on the grossness of fast-food preparation methods like rehydrating onions in buckets.
