Other times they mean absolutely nothing at all. We generally prefer the latter. In this episode we discuss: - Trazodone - Tyler's hat, what it is, and and then a further explanation of what it is because the initial explanation is utterly insufficient. - The Jamaican accent - Repetitive music like ska, reggae, and reggaeton. -Capocollo (which Ben mispronounces as "capicola") vs gabagool. - The word "finna". - The fact that the midwest accent is not really an accent but is rather just bad English because it doesn't differentiate itself enough from the general American accent to actually be considered something new. - Joe Biden and old senators - Ben's experience with an edible - The video game Panzer Dragoon Wed, 20 May 2026 13:00:00 -0000 full 44 Ben Steinberg & Tyler Martin Welcome to another episode of whatever this is.
