Zak and Liz talk about their Lists™.

Zak puts his body on the line to see if the vegan mac and cheese can pass as a comfort food.

Liz finds a suspicious infographic, so some research and incredulous journalism is done.

Liz shares her thoughts about the NFT video essay that Zak assigned as homework. They’re pretty sure that they’re not shouting at clouds, but time will tell.

Zak used Shortcuts automation to mimic focus modes on his Apple Watch. Liz suggests that a gayer time of day should have a gayer watch face.

Zak reviews the Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream and the Jenny’s Tofu Soy Milk. He also tells us about the Sprout Task Force, which Jenny’s Tofu is a part of.

Lastly, Zak fell into a rabbit hole about food certifications including kosher and vegan.
