#267 - Savage Food / American Vacation Gone Wild / "Severance" Rants / Long TV Shows vs Real Endings

Welcome back to The Broskiedoodles Podcast! This week, it’s all about my latest American Adventure. From baseball stadiums emptier than my fridge on payday to deep dish pizzas in Orlando that left me questioning my digestive system—this trip had it all. My partner experienced the U.S. for the first time and now officially understands the savage portions, endless malls, and SUV nation. Plus, Airbnbs that feel like movie sets and amusement parks that left me feeling 85 years old.

Ever feel like TV shows these days are just really long movies with no ending? Yeah, us too. In this episode, we dive into Severance—a brilliant concept wrapped in a strange corporate dystopia—but does it really know where it’s going? We ask the big questions: Would you split your brain into two lives? Are we being tricked into watching shows that stretch the story longer than gum on a summer sidewalk? Plus, we rant (lovingly) about how shows like Westworld and The Walking Dead start strong and then... well, let’s just say they need to learn when to quit. Spoiler alert: Quentin Tarantino’s hot takes are the cherry on top.

We asked the real questions: Are we watching brilliance or just being strung along for endless seasons of nonsense? From creepy corporate waffle parties to pixelated cult leaders, we explore all the weird, eerie goodness. Plus, we roast the endless filler episodes of How I Met Your Mother (seriously, 10 seasons?), question if modern TV can just END already, and give some love to Apple TV's growing lineup—shoutout to Ted Lasso and Shrinking. Oh, and for the Western fans, Kevin Costner’s Horizon saga gets a nod because at least it’ll have an ending. Somewhere between existential horror and Marisa Tomei being fuego at 60, we tell you: Enjoy life, take a breather, and don’t get severed from your own happiness.
