Week 16: Za'atar VS BCO - The Final

Week 16: Za'atar VS BCO - The Final

Well here we are.  This is the end, the end my friends, the end.  It's all boiled down to BCO and ZAAAAAAA'atar to battle for the right to say "I am the Alpha Chickpea, beyatch" or "King Kong aint got dip on me!" or "huh, look at that, I won". 

Meg and Tony, this was a wonderful journey we went on.  We had some good days and some better days.  We shared a few 40's and danced to some Miley Cyrus.  Too bad there won't be any more podcasts to send secret messages to each other with....... Tony, get on it.  


K BYE!

All Star Break

All Star Break

Lucky you, we get another episode of DTH.  These usually go right to Meg and Tony but this one I'm going to address to the Hommus Heads in case anyone wants to get involved in the finals voting.  We need your help!  We won't be putting a poll on Instagram to collect votes for the winner between BCO and Za'atar.  Instead, well need you to submit your vote before Sunday, October 25th.  To vote, go out and get Cedars BCO and Za'atar hommus, record yourself testing the flavors, send the recording to us.  Boom.  Done.  You can record a video in Instagram and tag @DudesTalkingHommus.  You can record a video or audio on your phone and email it to DudesTalkingHommus@gmail.com.  We will put every submission we get into the episode so here's your chance to get on a podcast!  If you're looking for a more intimate experience (cat noise) we will be opening the zoom call that we record the episode on to all the Hommus Heads.  It will be either Monday, the 26th, or Tuesday the 27th.  We will let you know the date and Zoom ID.

Week 15: Za'atar VS Garlic Final 4

Week 15: Za'atar VS Garlic Final 4

Za'atar, Garlic and an interview with the VP of Marketing at Cedar's (heard of it?).  It's a great interview and you would be dumb not to listen to it!  BUT, since no one reads these, as proven by the last handful of episodes, let's cut to it.  Tony, whats your podcast going to be about?  Hot stuff because you're a hot guy?  The power of 40s during Celtics half time?  That one time we went biking?  Anything can be a podcast!!!  DouceRulz Media is on its way!!!  As always, if you are reading this and you aren't Meg or Tony, let me know!!  Email dudestalkinghommus@gmail.com or DM us on Instagram @DudesTalkingHommus and maybe you'll get a special message!

Week 14: BCO Vs Harissa Final 4

You guys get it!  If I screamed THE LIBYANS you would know what I'm talking about.  Dang it all the heck Meg and Tony I'm sick and tired of these millenials not know the references to 80s and early 90s movies that I make!  First Rookie of the Year, now Back To The Future?!  LIKE, WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN!  I do it for you two, just like these episode descriptions because you're the only ones who read them.  I need validate myself though, so here's a part of the Back To The Future script.

Doc: They found me, I don't know how but they found me. Run for it, Marty.

Marty: Who, who?

Doc: Who do you think, the Libyans.
Marty: Holy shit.

Doc: Unroll their fire.

Marty: Doc, wait. No, bastards.


K have a great Thursday Meg and Tony.  As always, if anyone else reads these send and email to dudestalkinghommus@gmail.com or DM us at @dudestalkinghommus.  I expect to hear nothing, so I'll see you two next week!

Week 13: Harissa VS Sundried Tomato Basil

Week 13: Harissa VS Sundried Tomato Basil

If you or someone you know struggles with Venereal Harissa please reach out to your closest SDTB.  We don't need to struggle alone.  

M is for the way you M at me.  E is for the way you E at me.  G is very very extra Ginarry.  T is a letter that starts with Tony and Meg.  (to the tune of that song that goes like L is for the way you look at me)


I don't know, I tried, definitely didn't work out.  Here are the lyrics to the Friends theme song to make up for it.  

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke
Your love life's DOA
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, but

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten
And work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast
So far, things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought
You down to your knees that

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for…

Week 12: Garden Veggie VS Sundried Tomato Basil

Week 12: Garden Veggie VS Sundried Tomato Basil

Garden Veggie Vs Sundried Tomato Basil yada yada yada. Hey Meg and Tony, you guys want to hear some of Nolan’s favorite jokes?

How many toes does a fish have? Zero

Once upon a time, the end.

I say I love you, he says "I'm gonna throw you in the trash".

Whats a dog?  HAHAHAHA

I'm gonna fight your face then feed you ice cream.

Anything with or around the poop is a winner for him.  Meg those are right up your alley.

Hope you enjoyed them!  Have a great Thursday!

If anyone other then Meg and Tony read this send an email to dudestalkinghommus@gmail.com or DM us @dudestalkinghommus.  Even though I'm pretty sure its just those two and Jacquie.  Hey Jacquie.  #FORTAWESOME4LYFE

Week 9: Za'atar VS Roasted Eggplant

Week 9: Za'atar VS Roasted Eggplant

In life, we must take chances.  To push the boundaries of a society and challenge the limitations of the individual.  Growth is inevitable and stagnancy is a curse.  When choosing which battle to rage there is really only one true choice, to rage with hommus.  Hey Meaghan and Tony!!  Since you are the only people who read the last description I'll assume you are the only ones reading this one too!  I even asked Matt if he read and he didn't, AND HE'S THE COHOST!  Remember when we all live in Bayridge and the power went out but for some reason our bedroom didn’t lose power.  We all got into our bed and watch American Idol.  I'm pretty sure that’s the night Beth said she would threesome Steven Tyler and Harry Connick Jr, which again, I'm not mad about aside from mass amount of STDs that would come along with that.  Any who, I wonder if anyone else is reading this.  If you are, let me know!  Send an email to dudestalkinghommus@gmail.com or text 1-978-400-0640.  See ya Meaghan and Tony!

Week 7: Original VS Garlic

Week 7: Original VS Garlic

Like all good things, and most toe fungus, we have to wait to see the rewards. Sometimes, mistakes are made and winners are crowned the victor while the true champion sulks away to wonder what could have been. Keeping an everlasting eye on the horizon to watch for the challenger who took everything from them to join them in the loser's circle. RRP is waiting, will Original be joining? Garlic has been training since its win over Everything and it looks like its taken a few shots in the ass too. Does Original stand a chance? Will Garlic deflate and choke in the presence of the OG? This is Original VS Everything.

Week 6: Original VS Roasted Red Pepper

Week 6: Original VS Roasted Red Pepper

A tale as old as time, rising with the yeast, some of us are friends, not when we reach the ends, hommus and the feast. This weeks match up goes back to the beginning. To a time before additives, before trendy flavors and before podcasts. Enter a time machine with us as we travel back to an era where there were two ingredients. Chickpeas and Roasted Red Peppers. Imagine the robes and elephants (maybe) stomping down the dirt and gravel paths. Take a whiff and pick up the intricate scents of people throwing feces out the window, then stop taking whiffs or put a rose to your nose. Bring your taste buds and prepare to choose between the original, and the one to follow. Did they do it right the first time or was the second iteration where the hommus chef nailed it. This, is Original VS Roasted Red Pepper.

Week 5: Everything VS Garlic

Week 5: Everything VS Garlic

In a story of the teacher becoming the student or the grasshopper becoming the grass, we step back and watch as Garlic tries to assert its dominance over Everything. Garlic started off as a part of Everything and Everything taught Garlic all it tastes like. We're not sure when the rift started, but once it did the flavor train was unstoppable. Quickly Garlic was gaining its own momentum while Everything remained the King Hum Between The Two. Until now, Garlic has come back stronger than ever, but Everything isn't ready to step aside. Who will be crowned King Hum Between The Two and who will be mocked as a flavorless sludge. This is Garlic Vs Everything.

Week 4: BCO VS Dark Chocolate

Week 4: BCO VS Dark Chocolate

Buckle up and put on your poncho because we're going to fill a slot to the Final Four!  Balsamic Caramelized Onion (BCO) is pounding down the door of Dark Chocolate and it's standing there with a chip in hand.  These two flavors go head to head and leave nothing on the dipping medium floor.  Who will continue to glory and face the winner of the Peppers and Garden division in the Final Four event.  Who will slip into obscurity and get moldy as the forgotten loser and dream of what could have been.  This, is Dudes Talking Hommus.

Week 3: Avocado VS Dark Chocolate

Week 3: Avocado VS Dark Chocolate

Angels VS Demons.  Day VS Night.  Recyclable plastic VS Styrofoam.  Avocado hommus VS Dark Chocolate Hommus.  These are the battles that rage on for eternity while the rest of us sip our foam coffees and extruded cheese snacks.  We may never truly learn who the victor is.... because we'll all be living on Mars before these wars are won.  Except Avocado hommus VS Dark Chocolate hommus.  This ends now.

Week 2: Balsamic Carmelized Onion VS Zesty Lemon

Week 2: Balsamic Carmelized Onion VS Zesty Lemon

An absolute powerhouse of a hommus takes on the undefeated victor from week 1. Can Balsamic Caramelized Onion dethrone last week champion, Zesty Lemon. Both true hommuses, sorry hommi, in their own right, but who will slip away this week as the one hommus left standing? This is Balsamic Caramelized Onion VS Zesty Lemon.

Week 1: Zesty Lemon VS Pineapple Jalepeno

Week 1: Zesty Lemon VS Pineapple Jalepeno

One is spicy and fruity at the same time.  The other, so much refreshing zest it will put your mind on a beach and your body in a satisfied non-hungry state.  Who will live to hommus another day, and who will end up in the trash.  This is Lemon Zest VS Pineapple Jalapeno.
