I think @benchapmanncsu.bsky.social and @bugcounter.bsky.social should do a #RiskyOrNot episode on The Overalls in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder for St. Patrick's Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M-_...

Appreciated the FiberOne recommendation on ep 436 of RiskyOrNot but, unfortunately, this isn’t RegularOrNot @bugcounter.bsky.social @benchapmanncsu.bsky.social !!

Donuts made with pre-Batista cane sugar - #RiskyOrNot? Batista came to power in 1940 and this episode aired in 2010 so the sugar must have been at least 70 years old.

the lost eps probably cooked too hard; riskyornot fans like myself will just have to imagine them using our mind palaces
I know I have not posted about risky or not episodes in a while, but we have been steadily putting them out. Today we met to record a bunch more, but forgot to hit the record button. We will meet next week and hopefully get caught up and even get a little bit ahead.

Apparently I have a type (of podcast): two nerdy dudes talking about cool nerdy stuff, but not being too nerdy about it. For example, my new faves are #RiskyorNot and #FoodSafetyTalk with @bugcounter.bsky.social and Ben Chapman (h/t to @johnroderick.bsky.social). Any others I should know about?

@bugcounter.bsky.social as soon as I saw the title of today’s #RiskyOrNot I thought of @hotdogsladies.bsky.social from whom I learned about the pear pimples for hairy fish nuts.

I had a dream last night that I was at a hotel and there was a crying duck in my room. Every time the duck cried, an inchworm ate its tears. And this inspired me to convince @benchapmanncsu.bsky.social and @bugcounter.bsky.social to do a #RiskyOrNot episode on eating duck tears. Do ducks even cry?
