We talk pork, beef, and vegetable dogs, along with eating from the bulk bins, why humans can’t figure out how to eat, the art of splitting something exactly in half, and why no one would ever vote for Natalie. Also: the allure of being by yourself. You’ll have to listen to this one.We’ve been playing trivia a few times a day in the Discord, so if live trivia is your thing (and it probably is, you’re listening to Garbage Brain University) you can become a patron of GBU and receive this on top of the 140 patron episodes you’ve never heard!Also, hey: Drew redesigned the Creative Process shirt and it’s available in our shirt store. Not aware we had a shirt store? You are now. https://thenewsharingmachine.com• natalie & drew This is a public episode.

When’s the last time you went bowling? We talked about improving this ancient game, why presidents love it, how to use Flonase the right way (not how you think!) and how Drew once dated a cake farter.
