David Carotene vs. The Knuckle Sandwich

Do you remember being taught things by teachers as a kid, things that as you got older seemed suspiciously false? The biggest and most egregious example that comes to mind always is that of Christopher Colombus. They told us he “discovered America” and that he was one of the, if not the greatest explorer the world had ever seen.

Well, it is that time of the month… where we welcome back in Drinks w/ Ron to facilitate a battle of myths. Old wives tales taught to us by authority figures and painted as absolutes. In this month’s bracket, we assess everything from the aforementioned Columbus to The Food Pyramid to the direction a toilet would flush in the southern hemisphere.

Of course, you know that’s not all… We also discuss Happy Gilmore 2, the gallon challenge, and Gumby (to name a few).

And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where we have exclusive extended episodes! Today, Rob and Colin measure their Hitchcocks… Just two grown men, whipping out their experiences onto a table and comparing them in a totally nonchalant fashion.

We also have some merch for sale up on our Etsy, as well as a limited run of embroidered beanies out now! Only a few left… Shoot us a DM on IG if you’re interested.

About the Podcast

The Nostalgia Pit
FKA: Ruining Your Childhood - The Pitfalls of Nostalgia
The Nostalgia Pit is a podcast aiming to dissect pop culture, the subconscious, and other psychological phenomena through a hyperbolic and prismatic lens. Hosted by Rob Snow and Colin Casserd, the Nostalgia Pit is available anywhere you find your podcasts.

Nostalgia is so often thought of as something great from our childhood... But this psychological pitfall can sometimes have massive effects on our decision making. Our goal here is to discuss these areas where morals and ethics blur and the warm feelings of childhood take over. Oh, and to talk some shit...

Produced by Colin Casserd
