Podcast! Cocktail Hour, Part Two! The Guys Manage to Discuss Ramen, and are Drunk-ish!

 Hi all!  So we continued our conversation from last week, and talked about some really interesting stuff, before ultimately descending into a drunken free-for-all!  We had a ton of fun, it made for (surprisingly) solid content, and we are DEFINITELY gonna do it again!

Tarver talked a lot about the Mission Chinese Cookbook.  It sounds pretty awesome.  Jesse's already ordered his copy.

Also, we talked about the unearthly condiment called Chile Crisp.  Tarver's preferred brand (and the one Jesse tasted live on air) can be found here.

That's it, y'all!  This one was SUPER fun!!  The fact that the episode didn't totally suck is, like, a happy accident, considering how all-fired drunk we were.  Especially Tarver and Jesse.  Especially Jesse.  Yikes.
