Fall back into an hour with your bagel boys on your favorite Austin bagel podcast. We talk Jake's cold showers. We talk urban planning. We ponder scooped or not scooped. Our backs hurt and we made it to 40 freakin bagel spots y'all.

39: The Perch (aka The Perchening)
A very spooky episode for your Halloween bagel hauntings. Sam complains about scary social interactions and has a shroom-fueled breakthrough. Jake talks horror films and things that go bump in the night. The horrific hot takes are endless in this slasher of an episode. Awooooooooooooooooooooo!
Oct 22 2023
38: Cenote
The guys venture into the warm damp hole of Cenote and dine on mediocre sandwiches. The world is ending. But the campaign must rage ever onward. Enjoy an hour of profanity and foolishness to help you get through your day. #standwithisrael
Oct 15 2023
37: Sweetwaters Coffee and Tea
For a spooky October episode, the guys confront a soulless place where time stands still. A liminal space where corporate ghosts and Republican secretaries go thump in the day. A place that shouldn't exist and yet, somehow does. A place with absolutely ghoulish bagels and a name that evokes bodily fluids. Call the exorcist. The bagel boys are sending you BACK TO HELL.

36: The JCC Showdown
The bagel boys finally determine which bagel near the JCC is truly the best one for your pre fiddler-on-the-roof-matinee brunch. There can only be one. They also might talk some lulav / etrog life. Or was that last week? Whatever.

35: Tiny Grocer
The guys have a lovely time in a little market. Sam has renewed hope for Austin and falls in love with a cashier. Fuck Foxtrot. What's in the disco ball cookie jar?
Sep 24 2023
34: Blue Lacy
The guys gain some clout by selling out for free bagel sandwiches. Sam's got a brutal tongue. Jake brings back fresh or stale.
Sep 17 2023
33: Mary’s Cafe
The guys find a glorious spot for dank breakfast sandos. The Smash Mouth guy was probably a Nazi. Sam says some more stuff he can't take back. It's a solid Sunday episode y'all.
Sep 10 2023
32: Trianon Coffee
The guys check out a cute place with a strange name. They discuss World War II, a new Putin conspiracy, and Jake's disdain for coffee urns. What is this show even about anymore? Have a good Sunday!

31: 1886 Cafe - Labor Day Special
The bagel boys go to brunch with Jose and Terra to celebrate the plight of the worker. Jake loves bagels. What is that spectral ooze in their cream cheese? RIP Smashmouth.
Aug 27 2023
30: Crepe Crazy
The guys go to a very unlikely spot for bagels. They discuss their bagels on the road. Jake gets a very disgusting combination and regrets it.
Aug 20 2023
29: Dunkin vs. Starbucks
The guys endure shitty bagels to reveal the truth about this classic rivalry. Which terrible place for bagels has the best bagel? The answer probably won't surprise you, but it did surprise Sam. Plus bagel bites, scrotox, schmear campaign tattoos, and Jake hoping this pod will never take off.
Aug 13 2023
28: Magnolia Cafe
The guys have a lovely Monday afternoon bagel at the classic Magnolia Cafe. Jake discusses his LA bagel quest. They talk about fart-fluencers. And Jake discusses the biggest benefit to being a remote worker.

27: Homemade Sourdough Bagels (feat. Russell)
Our good friend, and sourdough starter dominatrix, Russell bakes us some fresh sourdough bagels using his abused and neglected starter. He tries to convince us all bread is sourdough (it's not) and we unsuccessfully try to uncover his dark goyish upbringing.

26: Foxtrot
Sam has a bad time at Foxtrot and leaves a 1 star review on Google. Is Austin dying? Rosen's wholesale bagels are still killing it somehow. If you make toasts in your restaurant, stop bogarting those toppings and let us put them on a bagel.
Jul 23 2023
25: Easy Tiger
The guys get into a philosophical discussion about whether the new pretzel bagels at Easy Tiger are even bagels. Perhaps they're just round pretzels. Are they even good? Perhaps not. Why is it even called Easy Tiger? Don't tell us to take it easy you German shmucks.
Jul 16 2023
24: Panera
Jake tells prime anecdotes about his past employment with Panera. Sam tries out Big Daddy Bagels in Colorado. The guys have a disturbing experience at the worst Panera in Austin.
Jul 9 2023
23: Big City Bagels and Subs
The guys discuss the jizz biz. They have an authentic New York experience. Other shit happens. Have a good brunch y'all.
