Ryan and returning guest Zip from No Redeeming Qualities dive into a lighthearted discussion of the top 10 most popular North American breakfast foods, offering a welcome respite from the COVID-19 pandemic and a recent tornado that struck Zip’s small Texas town. Recorded with their signature blend of humor and cultural commentary, the duo explores staples like donuts, hash browns, oatmeal, and eggs, with Ryan lamenting his keto diet restrictions and Zip sharing quirky anecdotes, like eating bacon with a nipple or avoiding milk in cereal due to his mother’s gag reflex. They touch on regional differences (e.g., Canadian ginger fried beef, biscuits and gravy), tackle stereotypes about race and food, and each pick their least favorite breakfast item, while weaving in personal stories, like Zip’s emotional connection to his podcast’s “Squid Week” amidst his mother’s passing.
