Lumpia and Latkes

We Make An AI Song

"Ya like, jazz?" We have been running this show long enough to decide it's time for a new theme song. Through the power of AI, we see if our theme song makeover can rival the (debatably) great Randy Newman penned "It's A Jungle Out There". At "The Coffee Table", we explore more deaths in "The darwin Awards" and 2 retellings of "The Three Little Pigs". Wrapping up this episode, Mitch has nicotine and Jay has doggies in "This, Ya Call News?".

Back In My Day

"I'm tired of this, Grandpa--WELL, THAT'S TOO DAMN BAD!" Jay and Mitch reminisce about days gone by after they have a chat about recent life events. We unearth a not-yet-used recording of an "Unsolved Conspiracy" for a disappearing sub as well as not-yet-used ghost story at "The Coffee Table". We wrap it up with "This, Ya Call News?": Jay has "Coldplay Kiss Cam" returns and Mitch has a baseball(?) injury.

A Very Special Lumpia And Latkes

"For Oscar considerations...no not really" Sitcoms are meant for laughter and hijinks for entertainment and a break from reality, but then you get "the very special episodes"--you know the ones: the episodes that get "real" to make some sort of social commentary. This is our "Topic of the Week". At "The Coffee Table", we read more of "the darwin Awards" and a different take on "The Emperor's New Clothes". For "This, Ya Call News?", Mitch has an airport animal and Jay has a t-shirt.

History Of Console Games Very Abridged

Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Microsoft: the big 4 in console gaming have storied histories spanning decades. Guess it's up to us to do a half-assed job summing it all up in about 40 minutes. We're not scrambling alone though as we welcome our first official streamer guest: Anthony of "Knightcap Games" to give us more gravitas. We're switching up books again at "The Coffee Table": we say hello to "the darwin Awards" by Wendy Northcutt and "Politically Correct: The Ultimate Storybook" by James Finn Garner. We wrap up this episode with "This, Ya Call News?": Mitch has Kit-Kats and Jay has "Doom".

Game Shows

"What is can I buy a vowel for the block as a double dare with no whammys no whammys big bucks and I can name that tune in 6 notes? Final answer." If you guessed "Game Shows" is our "Topic of the Week", then come on down because you could be the next listener of "Lumpia and Latkes". Then, we shift to "The Coffee Table" with "The Philadelphia Project" and doorknob hijinks.. To wrap it up, Jay has "Coldplay" couple news and Mitch has a beer injury for "This, Ya Call News?".

Thoughts On Thoughts

"I think, therefore I am." The human mind is complex--way more involved than we really have the understanding to approach. Ain't gonna stop us from trying. This week it's: "Thoughts On Thoughts". Grab your morning joe and join us for a royal conspiracy and a tale of the morgue at "The Coffee Table". Wrapping it up: Mitch has horses and Jay has cameras for "This, Ya Call News?".

Members Only

"Hey, pal? Where do you think you're goin'? Ah, ah, ah. Ain't goin' nowheres without a membership. Now, get back to the end o' the line." We tackle subscriptions and memberships and the constant requirement for everyday folk to pay. At "The Coffee Table", Mitch addresses THE secret society (that's NOT so secret) and Jay has a Halloween ghost tale. Finishing up this episode, Jay talks "Dollar Tree" and rich people while Mitch talks NASA for "This, Ya Call News?".

An Ordinary Day

Hello. How are you? I'm fine. In this episode, Jay and Mitch have a normal conversation. Totally normal. At "The Coffee Table", Mitch reads about the United States landing on the moon and Jay has a sea tale. Jay kicks things off for "This, Ya Call News?" with a story on trading card scalpers and Mitch reports on wings versus wyngz.

Fast Food Pt 2

"MY DRINK?!? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT THIS PIZZA WITHOUT MY DRINK?!?" We are picking things back up this week with the second half of our Fast Food conversation for our "Topic of the Week". We have a new book joining our "Coffee Table": "Unsolved Conspiracies" by Bill Price. This go around: it's all about streetcars. We also have another ghost(?) story. Wrapping up this episode, Mitch has gas and Jay has computer parts in "This, Ya Call News?".

Fast Food Pt 1

"Would you like fries with that?" Fast food is a multibillion dollar industry that you just cannot seem to get away from--including right here on "Lumpia and Latkes" as it is our "Topic of the Week". So much to say, it's a 2 parter. We introduce a new book to "The Coffee Table": "Phantom Phenomena: Tale's of the World's Most Terrifying and Supernatural Events" by "castle". We also discuss moving or rather helping others move. Mitch has check fraud and Jay has thrifting for "This, Ya Call News?" to wrap it all up.
