One of the best ways to prepare pork broth is to strain away all the blood and scum, and then later mix in chicken stock. A lot of Chinese recipes use a blend of pork and chicken broth. Ginger also helps cover the the stink (and goes great with chicken soup in general).

Fun fact (not related to Liberia): I know someone who worked with Moxy Fruvous. He said everyone in the band was great, except for Jian, who was awful and entitled and had a weird chip on his shoulder. When we all heard what he did no one who knew him was surprised

The Fitters have Tom (and nearly everyone else) quite Cross

I join the patreon, and the first thing I hear is a rant against crossfit 😔 those guy's sound like idiots tho. Just join a crossfit box!

Lions Led By Donkeys Podcast

I agree! I did crossfit for years and helped manage 2 different boxes in texas. Nothing wrong with working out however you want and makes you happy but go to the place made for it. i'd happily join another, but there are none in Armenia

I'm surprised no one mentioned the whole thing with "hero" wods and wearing plate carriers

Alex Varrus

My brother owns a crossfit gym. Crossfitters suuuuuck

Mae Berens

I swear I’ve seen that coal rolling Jetta in the Cincinnati area

Angel-of-Deadlifts

I guess you have to already be into crossfit before you find out what a Murph is

Bellum

Why can I not see the Gaddafi episode?

IronNosy

Great episode! It's hilarious how Joe has become the Riley to Tom and Nate's Milo and Alice.

James Cézanne-Taipale

Oh god. You guys just made me remember the summer that Len song was all over MTV and now I’m having flashbacks to that sitcom that they aired about a boy band where the joke was that none of the singers matched the stereotypes they’re supposed to be. This is the most you guys have ever upset me…. I just remembered Say What Karaoke.

Chef John has a great Dublin coddle recipe on youtube

Full support for Tom's crossfit rage from a garage gym troglodyte.

Thadde

I love your guys Music knowledge Really came through with the VNasty and Gucci Mane analysis

I remember at my last job, there was a Crossfit gym on the other side of the parking lot. If youre pulling in, there's a blindspot on the right side. I've had maybe 5 close calls where I've almost run over a crossfitter because they were sprinting in the parking lot

FishTank

If they really wanted to honor all those SEALs, they should just all get together and go crash a Blackhawk into a field somewhere

Jonathan Grafton

I'm suddenly reminded of the Liberian war criminal that got killed in a robbery gone bad.

Dick Smith

I skipped all the chat at the beginning and caught the end then realized y’all were bitching about CrossFiters in the gym and had to rewind it so I could bitch along with you. I quit planet fitness because of CrossFit asshats

In the upper peninsula pasties are the more regional dish, which is basically a pot pie in calzone form. One thing I really hate for the Wisconsin side is beef tartar. I like me a rare steak but not raw hamburger.

As a Jetta owner (twice) I will not be attacked by someone who owned a Prius.

Karl Childers

i feel personally attacked by the Car Seat Headrest comment also Tom is correct

100% Nixon is a head in a jar.

Illya Lypyak

Damn… and I love his shoes so much

My mother use to threaten to send me back to Sudan all the time when I got in trouble. As if we didn’t escape it as refugees. Every African immigrant has that story of being told they’ll be send home. The only successful times were my Nigerian friends cause the country was fairly stable.

Hammerthrust Von Sexron

Hey Joe, nothing wrong with first episodes. If we didn’t like them, you wouldn’t have anyone to complain to.
