For this Christmas edition of Vegans Talking Shit, our gift to you is part two of the two-part episode, Ethical Vegans Vs. Health Vegans. The Tofu Trio stays on topic for a solid two minutes before completely abandoning it. Vanessa uses all of the patience she could muster, bravely trying to steer the conversation back toward the topic, but Jon and Joey weren't having it. The many things discussed during this episode include Joey's on-again, off-again love of professional wrestling, "The Princess Bride," how vegans are portrayed in movies, and the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Yes, there's a two-minute discussion about the actual topic at the start of the episode, but that's it. Vanessa tried, folks. She really did.

In part one of a two-part episode, The Tofu Trio discusses the occasional hostility between ethical vegans and health vegans. Before too long, it's Joey vs. Jon and Vanessa as they have a disagreement about the ethics of confrontational vegan activists. Jon then tells the sordid tale of the night he relapsed, and cheated on his veganism to eat a shish kebab. They eventually discuss lab-grown meat before moving on to a discussion about cryogenics, the enormity of the insects in Brazil, and the awesomeness of "They Live," the John Carpenter movie starring the late, great pro wrestling legend, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Trigger warning for our non-vegan listeners: The views and opinions expressed in this episode may upset you enough to write us a sternly-worded message.

A few days after attending the Vegan Block Party event in Ft. Lauderdale, The Tofu Trio sat down to record an episode about vegan events. At least, that was the plan. In this episode, Vanessa talks about earning her first "hater" on YouTube, Joey talks about his father's movie, "The Miami Affair," and there's a discussion about the dangers of IcyHot pain relief cream. Also, the greatness of the movie "Good Will Hunting" is discussed, Joey plays sound effects at Jon’s expense (yet again), and Vanessa laughs hysterically when her beloved husband needs a break to relieve an excruciating leg cramp. The three of them eventually settle down long enough to actually get into the topic at hand, but they quickly realize that very few people outside of South Florida would care about any of it. Another successful episode!
