Hurricane | Episode 335 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eric is back after a sick week that also featured a sick kid, a puppy with opinions, and zero transition time. There is a PSA about elderly parents and Social Security numbers. There is a supplement whose main miracle is fingernails growing at Teen Wolf speed. There is a farmer’s-market cauliflower the size of a basketball that becomes a ranch pizza. It holds together. Barely. Like a lot of things. Then the table asks the two questions that did all the work: * What’s the hardest thing you’ve eve
It’s All Seed | Episode 334 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome back to the table. The clock in Rome is whoever’s guess. The salad opinions are unsolicited. The puppy has opinions about feet. Episode 334 of Lunchtime In Rome is the one where a marathon Tuesday, a county fair, a dumped-in coaching gig, a fantasy draft, and a very American condiment all wander into the same conversation and refuse to leave. The puppy industrial complex Toby is very cute and, at present, a part-time jerk. That is not slander. That is the official diagnosis of a house th
Fake Air Conditioning | Episode 333 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This one is less “big life lesson” and more “three grown humans at a table, slightly tired, extremely opinionated.” Which, if we’re honest, is the show’s finest form.

A Home Depot trip that takes twice as long because every aisle becomes a meet-and-greet. Also: a new hobby involving other dogs’… leftovers. You will hear it. You will wish you hadn’t. You will keep listening anywa
Tummy Wheeze | Episode 332 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pull up a seat. Episode 332 is live and, as usual, the table talk refuses to stay in one lane. The conversation winds through progressive lenses, monovision driving quirks, hallway contracts, and one unforgettable Pez-dispenser chemistry teacher. Then the table turns to gratitude. The people sitting there share what’s actually stuck with them this week. The answer that lands hardest is simple and shared: Toby. That soft, good-looking yellow Lab currently chewing his way through the puppy-teeth p
I Don't Want to Taste Anybody's Anything | Ep. 331 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chris finally returns after a stretch that felt like two months and somehow only two weeks. He shows up with a mental list so stacked it could qualify as a short documentary: the move, the old house hitting the market that very day , Amy’s surgery that turned out more major than advertised, and both living parents deciding the hospital was the place to be at the exact same time. Meadville road trips included. Naturally the conversation pivots to lawn care theology. Trim first or mow first? Edge
