Deserts vs. Desserts (and Why Cheesecake Wins)

September 4, 2025/Episodes

One little typo turns into a whole episode. Eric mixes up “desert” and “dessert,” and suddenly we’re off talking about sand, sweets, and whether cheesecake really is the king of them all. Along the way, we cover Looney Tunes backdrops, wrestling gimmicks, and what counts as a snack versus a dessert.

  • The easy way to remember desert vs. dessert

  • Famous deserts in the U.S. (and Todd’s camping trips there)

  • Why the Undertaker is from Death Valley

  • Looney Tunes and our picture of what deserts look like

  • Soft serve machines at home and the hierarchy of ice cream

  • What really makes something a dessert (timing? sweetness?)

  • Cheesecake Factory trips and declaring a winner

Turns out deserts are dry, desserts are sweet, and both can spark way more debate than you’d think.
