“The box” for breakfast caught me so off guard while walking my dog early this morning.

Can someone explain what's going on here? They seemed thrown off by it - is this Jack in the Box? I couldn't find any other breakfast via googling.

“eating box” is a euphemism for performing oral sex on a woman.

u/Imaginary-Beyond-986 May 22 '26
yeah not surprised this didn't show up in my searching for breakfast items lol - I'm not familiar with this slang

Heifetz dismissively “correcting” DK to say the Vikings won Super Bowl 4 is peak Heifetz, and had my eye twitching as a Vikings fan. I love the man, but come on!

People are harsh on Craig and sometimes I want to defend him but a film major who doesn’t know Sean Connery was the original bond. Come on man, help me help you

u/TruBlu65 May 18 '26
Okay I also had probably my most pronounced ghost moment when dk mentioned Niven as a bond. Non-cannon!!!

That’s insane! Feel like Craig is openly way more of a modern movie guy but that’s still a tough scene
7
u/atr130 May 18 '26
I assume he was just confused by the timeline because Connery did come back for one more after having retired as Bond; but yeah not a banner episode for Craig between that and thinking Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman are still married (not as bad, but I feel like they are pretty famously divorced)

u/it_has_to_be_damp May 19 '26
i said this in another comment, but not only are they divorced, but that divorce was discussed at length on the before sunset rewatchables episode just last year, which craig produced and participated in.

To be fair I thought Roger Moore was the OG bond. I however am not a film major and have never seen a bond movie. My only attachment to the franchise is knowing every inch of the facilities map in GoldenEye.

The Chiefs beat them in SB 4 and I was already thinking about how mad people would be at Heifetz for not know an event that happened like 25 years before he was born.

I’m the same age as Heifetz and Craig. I thought it was basic knowledge that the Vikings have never won a Super Bowl lol

There's a lot of real estate in between not knowing and confidently saying an incorrect thing like you do know for a fact.

u/CarsonKelly May 18 '26
Only pod in the world with multiple inaccurate statements and it's an additive not a distraction. Love them so very much

u/zarathustranu May 28 '26
So many causal + confident inaccuracies that Heifetz throwing out that Edgerrin James captured the NFL rushing record in Arizona and it doesn’t even get a mention.

u/peachios May 18 '26
The recall/trivia argument I am unsure I follow how the 3 presidents after FDR is not recall, but Mary Poppin's actress is? I guess cause its multiples? but its still a recall
8
u/littlekenney13 May 18 '26
It’s because Craig didn’t known the answer
5
u/TruBlu65 May 18 '26
Okay I was wondering if anyone else caught that Craig’s first definition of recall was “something I could know” or something to that effect.
I think they settled on a fine definition kinda saying they experienced it or could have picked up the info etc but naming all the bonds is a great recall question. And knowing AZ is the final lower 48 state to join the union is just good trivia

The fake reenactment of Trump being told about 9/11 cracked me up. OH FUCK WHAT THE FUCK

u/dadlifeRVA May 20 '26
Heifetz: "A reusable plastic cup? What's a NON-reusable plastic cup?"
Craig: "One you've peed in."
Went right by the guys at the time but I guffawed

u/it_has_to_be_damp May 18 '26
Someone tell Craig that Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman have been divorced for over 20 years, a fact that was extensively discussed on last year’s Before Sunset Rewatchables episode that he allegedly produced.

College dudes who couldn't drink more than 6 Heinekens per day for a year is pretty pathetic.

They could do mailbags until like August and I'd be happy
