"Devastating. It was delicious. Devastating." – Bob

The See Food Diet Pod returns with a jam-packed episode featuring a voicemail from co-host Matt calling in from the road while coaching youth baseball, followed by a lively in-studio recording with hosts Bob and Kate. Matt recaps his food journey across Ohio and Indiana — hitting ballpark pretzels at Grand Park, a shrimp po'boy in Columbus, fried oysters, and loaded Cracker Jacks at a Reds game. He also gives a shoutout to Big League Chew gum as his coaching-season stress reliever. Back in the studio, Bob and Kate dive deep into their home cooking adventures, including Kate's game-changing discovery of the Recipe Keeper app, Bob's mujadara-inspired leek and chickpea miso rice bowl (which tragically gave him indigestion), and a lively debate over the perfect taco build from shell to toppings.

The episode's centerpiece is a chaotic and delightful soda taste test featuring five specialty drinks: Dirty Mountain Dew Cream Soda, Creamy Coconut Dr. Pepper, Strawberry Cream Dr. Pepper, and two aggressively sweet Faygo sodas — Bubble Pop and Super Pop (a Superman ice cream tribute). The hosts react with equal parts delight and horror, eventually breaking down the sugar content and nearly staging an intervention. The episode wraps with Bob and Kate swapping TV recommendations (Margo's Got Money Troubles, SNL UK, Eurovision) and continuing their ongoing journey through 1001 Albums to Listen to Before You Die list, with highlights including a surprise love for Black Sabbath, Sisters of Mercy, and Bonnie Prince Billy — and a firm rejection of Marilyn Manson and the Eminem.
