68 – REMAIN CALM – The History of the Graham Cracker


November 15, 2022

About the Episode

The bookends of a great campfire treat or a wonderful after-school snack; the trusty graham cracker. Did you ever wonder how it came into existence? Well, we can tell you now, it’s not what you’d expect.

This week, Sierra tells the tale of the goddamn cracker that invented the graham cracker, while Colin reminds us that masturbation and food are not related. Join us as we discuss the importance of modern social etiquette, a drag queen named Cholera, and why we should all consume more s’mores.
