BONUS - The Bitter Buddha feat. Eddie Pepitone

Bro, it's not the taste of lab-grown steak vs tortured cow steak, it's about the money the cattle farmers, meat processing facilities, biogas facilities, fertilizer companies, etc have tied up in the cattle, chicken, and pig farming industries. They're protecting their financial interests and they're parts of MASSSSSSIVE lobbies. And just like fossil fuel companies will continue to spend more and more money on fewer and fewer returns from shale fracking before they switch to solar, these meat people will pull out all the stops to keep people eating meat even though we all know, at least in a tiny, suppressed part of our minds, that eating meat is bad.

I loved the Puddin’ strip stuff with Matt Oswalt & Eddie. Great episode- thank you!!

Get Colin Quinn next

So good I listened twice

Goin' Blind by KISS is another great age-gap rock song (also covered by Melvins). "Little lady can't you see? - You're so young and so much different than I - I'm 93, you're 16 - and I think I'm going blind"

Great interview. Eddie seems like a genuinely sweet and awesome fella. Sad to hear Will doesn’t like Radiohead though. I hated them for a long time, but they really grew on me, and now they’re one of my favorite bands.

I was such a huge Puddin' fan back in the day

Now we know the truth: Nick Mullen found out Dylan also did an ad for IBM and couldn’t handle it

It was impossible for this man to live up to tom meyers but he did a good job trying

He's right about IMAX 3D

How the hell had I never heard of Eddie Pepitone. This cave dwelling isn't all it's cracked up to be.

You could give this dude a mic spot if your pension plan wasn't so generous. Then we wouldn't have to hear from Adam again.

I

Hell yea, love Eddie, Puddin' was very formative for me lol

Durham is pronounced "Durm"

Billy Joel just doesn’t like that his statutory rape songs have been reappraised by libs

Loved Peppitone on adult swim's Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell if anyone's seen that

Great interview, thanks Will! 🙏

Jimminy Glick is the best, every interaction with famous people is hilarious!!

Amazing surprise. Love Eddie

Chris Hedges mentioned

Love this except Will's egregious Movie Mindset failure by not asking Eddie about his role as "suicidal junkie" in the nightmarish horror classic Combat Shock.

Eddie repeatedly misnaming "scenes from an Italian restaurant" was making my eye twitch lmao

SHE'S ADORKABLE

so glad the discussion on veganism wasn’t the usual garbage getting pumped out. cool to hear Eddie talk about how far things have come in the last 20-30 years. getting flashbacks to being a corn fed middle schooler in Kansas City, getting on the wiki page for Rise Against trying to figure out what vegetarianism is and how the fuck that is supposed to work lol

Will watches Pay It Forward every time he looks in the mirror

Eddie seems like a sweetie

The link to pre-order seems broken now. But if you go to their website anyway and search Year Zero the page to buy the pre-order still works. Probably for another hour or two from now. I was able to still order it an hour ago. I was frightened I missed it procrastinating until my last paycheck.

listening to this was a treat for my eardrums.

AHM ON MAAAAAAAAAAHLEEE.

love that he said that about the jet flyovers at sports games – I work at a school near Comerica Park that gets occasional A-10 flyovers and one time I made a comment about how they're better off flying over our kids than killing someone else's and everyone in the staff room reacted like I had just said the N word

Forget lab grown meat, just get creative with mincing veggies into different flavors of impossible burgers We mostly ate vegetables before refrigeration and didn't start making meat into MURICA culture bullshit until the 1950s when the farms had a massive meat surplus that they were desperate to offload

Ya know

I really love these episodes where Will spends an hour shooting the shit with a random aging New York comedian. I could listen to this all day!

The game show guessing the cost of war is sublime.

Eddie was a delight, great guest

Delightful interview.

Fuck, the way Eddie describes SI is how I felt when we moved from Yonkers to W. Jersey... legend

C'mon man, I'm not saying it's not a serious source in it's own right but there's no way Livestock farming in a million years generates more greenhouse gas emissions than ALL fossil fuel energy, that's absurd.

I used to love watching Puddin’ every day. Great webseries

Yall need to have Whitney Webb on the show

🗣️🗣️🗣️ Pottstown PA mentioned!!!! Trojans and Falcons stand up

I remember waaaay back when Pepitone closed like every WTF podcast with a rant. Always wondered why Marc stopped having him on.

I for one am unashamed to say that I hate Billy Joel

Hell yeah waited many years to hear the EARL shouted out on this show. Worked in that kitchen for many years, best spot in east ATL..

I listen to Eddie’s podcast and was not expecting this crossover! Folks should check out Apocalypse Soon

As a climate scientist, yes methane is important but cow flatulents are in our earth system models and we frequently talk about methane to the public, especially with thawing permafrost

Gotta say I just watched the Billy Joel documentary and he’s definitely talented and even did some songs I like. But I can’t stand his personality.

Unfortunately commercial lab grown meat is probably a pipe dream. After years and many millions of dollars there is no feasible method to scale it up…and it still requires the slaughter of animals to make. 😢

Amen Eddie. Animal agriculture is responsible for about 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions, and the methane it produces is 30 times more potent than CO2.

I'm a new fan of this podcast as of a few months ago, and Will in the early days compared to now is a great transformation as an interviewer and host

I'll weigh in on the methane thing: methane is a potent greenhouse gas but it has a short atmospheric half-life so at any time we could cut back and the problem would be solvedmore or less then and there, whereas CO2 doesn't significantly degrade atmospherically, so every bit we put up there stays, meaning it's a much more pressing issue that we stop that immediately.

LoShoPoNonDeHoSode

Really love whenever Will does an interview with an old school comedian. Always turns into a conversation that is nostalgic, endearing, and funny. I've never been to New York but I as a homer for my small town in Iowa, I really like how much you can tell Will really loves his city

Selling out became okay when Busta Rhymes did a Mountain Dew commercial in the late nineties. Its all Busta's fault.

This is that good slop, its something about the variety in texture. Like trail mix

Ahhh sad that Felix wasn't also on this. Would love Pep on a standard show.

What took so long in getting Eddie on this show? You both make your own schedules! C’mon!

gonna have to take matters into my own hands over this Yankees business. GO O's!!!!!!

What I wouldn't give to hear Eddie and Matt in conversion with each other.

To quote the singular Bill Hicks- ‘you do an ad, you’re just another whore at the capitalist gangbang. Every word you utter is now a turd dropping into my drink’. Fuck sell outs. Make em ashamed again.

if you two just did an hour on romcoms? wouldn’t be mad at it

Eddie’s the best!

Mikey blocked me a few months back.. any all caps references to being just a kid from New York still stings

I’m about sick and god damn tired of this podcast giving me exactly what I want in guests

Fuck yeah

Oh yeah 😅
