Can You Survive The Awful Waffle Challenge?

May 1, 2025·47 min·4 clips

Matt reads the shocking urban dictionary definition of the 'awful waffle' camp prank involving syrup and tennis rackets.

This episode features hosts Matt and Brandon J. McDermott in their signature casual, conversational style. They open by discussing recent snowfall and the scheduling challenges of spring sports seasons before shifting to listener-submitted topics. Brandon shares a surprisingly affordable concession stand menu from a neighboring town, where pulled pork nachos cost only five dollars. Matt details his purchase of hot sauces and syrups from content creator Pepper Belly Pete, praising the pecan and apple pie varieties. He declares butter pecan syrup superior to maple, using a vivid analogy to illustrate his preference. The conversation explores the trend of "waffling" any food, from pulled pork nachos to cinnamon rolls, to create pockets for sauces. A search for "awful waffle" leads the hosts to an Urban Dictionary entry describing a humiliating camp prank involving syrup and a tennis racket. They also recall the term from the Nickelodeon show *Salute Your Shorts*. Matt's nephew gives a scathing review of the Nebraska chain Runza, which Matt defends as having top-tier fast-food burgers. The hosts then sample various chocolates, criticizing American versions and dark chocolate while praising Turkish varieties heavy with pistachio and hazelnut. A bizarre restroom encounter sees a stranger ask Matt how he earned his first billion dollars, leaving him confused. They discuss the Cleveland Browns' crowded quarterback room following the NFL Draft and sign a petition to "Save Hacky Sack Man," a shirtless campus fixture at Mizzou. Matt laments his financially irresponsible chickens, whose feces pose a health hazard, and shares a two-year-long joke about a friend's unmoved golf bag. The tone is consistently informal, humorous, and meandering, filled with personal anecdotes and tangents. Listeners who enjoy lighthearted, unstructured banter about everyday life, food, and odd internet finds will appreciate this episode. Those seeking focused, informational content or sensitive to crude humor might want to skip it.

As heard by us

A goofy, snack-fueled hangout that turns winter complaints and candy opinions into easy laughs.

The episode starts with a gross camp prank and settles into a loose, funny hangout about winter weather, spring break, and the complaints people bring home with them. The Awful Waffle bit lands exactly where it should: humiliating, silly, and left intact instead of softened.
