  1. Great 00 ep. Forgot how much I really missed hearing you two. The show sounds great, good concept, nice banter, should be interesting to see what ep 1 brings. Welcome back you two!

  2. You know, I think I can explain the Outback thing. And I bet it will make perfect sense to both of you.

  3. Adam Morey

    I forgot how much I missed hearing the two of you go back and forth. The only way this show could be more awesome is if you were drinking. Looking forward to more!

  4. Mint Jelly is a crime against lamb!

    My mother is very particular when she sets a table, everything has a dish and a serving spoon, everything is laid out nicely. My parents always made excellent lamb, it was a treat we would always beg for (with 9 kids we didn’t get it much) and for some reason my brother got it into his head that he needed mint jelly for the lamb. My mother served it with fresh mint, not jelly, never jelly. Yet my brother kept complaining and asking for it till she served it to him with mint jelly still in the jar and not even opened. Mint Jelly on Lamb is like covering a steak with Ketchup.

    Love the Kiwi vs Eagle segment, I love cross culture commentary

    Also, Pip, Most of the guys I’ve met from Louisiana look more like Andy Belflure then Eric and Alcied (and those are the good looking guys)
