Hi, pots and pans! Just wanted to let you know that we're taking this week off -- we were hoping to do either a talent scouting episode or the draft for Bake Off this week, but there are no bakers announced for us to talent scout or draft, and there ... more

It's the finale of 24 in 24! With two chefs in the final challenge, can Mike gain enough points to beat Sierra and take this season's title? Spoiler alert: no! We do talk about poutine a lot though.

  • Great fun

    Mike, Sierra, and Ify are so funny, and this show is a great cooking show hang. The factoids, opinions, and commentary are all great. The scoring makes watching the shows even more fun, a new aspect to consider! Mostly love the conversations! Ify’s terrible Boston accident is one of many highlights.

  • Lose the porn

    I enjoy the show. I would rather not have to listen to one of the hosts discuss his porn habit on a podcast that is supposed to be a cooking show recap. That lowered my rating a lot.

  • Sierra putting in all the work

    I only listened to the last season of GBBO. The show had some funny moments and the premise is great, but it’s cringe to hear how little effort Mike and Ify are putting in compared to Sierra. It feels like a group project where Sierra is the only one who really cares and the guys are slacking on her work.

    I thought the episodes without Ify were the best not because he’s not funny, just because he seems incredibly unengaged in this whole pursuit.

    This feels like a podcast where if they did one... more
