Tucker and JJ return to familiar territory—Applebee's—to discuss chain-restaurant loyalty, imaginary (but very tempting) Applebee's credit card perks, and the long-term psychological impact of good ranch dressing.
Along the way, JJ pitches a Wikipedia project cataloging Applebee's limited-time cocktails, debate restaurant bathroom strategy, relive questionable waxing decisions, attempt to flesh out the lore of Principal Pamplemousse, and then they close with an unexpectedly philosophical breakdown of Humpty Dumpty.
As always, it's food, culture, discomfort, and ideas—served generously.
