8 - House Hunters: Apocalypse and Make-at-Home Hooch

Reanna and Davis welcome Tyler and Marissa, who couldn't take a hint that they shouldn't buy a house and now are responsible for the terrible misfortune that has befallen the entire human race. Our dear friends are stranded in Pittsburgh, where beer is scarce and expensive and there are too many people enjoying the great outdoors in their neighborhood.

To atone for their karmic mistake, Marissa has devoted her Instagram account to prescribe dinner ideas to her cooking-challenged friends. She performs admirably in a live pop quiz. Tyler sneaks in a movie recommendation that violates the terms of this podcast.

We say goodbye twice because we forgot to talk about beer.

Recommendations:

Spice up your beef stew with this recipe from Eat Train and Love or Epicurious. Marissa's top tip: sub the lemon with orange.
Need your own dinner diagnosis? Hit Marissa up on Instagram @marissanorrisa
Tyler's book recommendations: the short story Harrison Bergeron from Kurt Vonnegut (which you can read for free online), and if you're feeling REALLY ambitious, the 1,000-page mammoth Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. Just think, even if you don't get into it, that's 1,000 pages of toilet paper or kindling when society collapses. It's a great investment either way.
Watch Shin Godzilla. What's more relatable than a bumbling bureaucracy mismanaging an unprecedented crisis? It's bonkers (in a good way).
Want a great apocalypse-Lovecraft-detective noir mashup? Check out Carter & Lovecraft, then read the second book in the series, After the End of the World. Then grieve the fact there are only two books in the series and you'll be left feeling empty and unfulfilled.
Watch High Fidelity on Hulu. Relate to Tyler's apparent persona as a Music Douche.
