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!

At long last, Vegans Talking Shit finally unleashes their eagerly anticipated episode about crocheting and knitting. During Vanessa's thrilling deep dive into the fascinating world of stitching, she catches herself before she gets bleeped, Jon actually does get bleeped (twice), and Joey manages to make fun of Vanessa's accent numerous times (sometimes not even on purpose!). Before long, the discussion devolves into a conversation about huge penises. Yes, really!

With Thanksgiving just a couple of days away, the Tofu Trio discusses the trials and tribulations of being vegan during the holiday season, and what it's like when no one else in the family is vegan. Also, Joey educates Jon and Vanessa about the "Terrifier" films, and later manages to get bleeped a few times. Happy BLEEPing Thanksgiving, everybody!

Joey, Jon, and Vanessa somehow manage to stay on topic (for the most part) as they ponder why it is that so many non-vegans hate vegans. As they discuss the seemingly widespread anti-vegan sentiment, Joey and Jon try to be thoughtful and understanding while Vanessa chooses violence. Also, Joey finds a new sound effect, and has fun with it at Jon's expense.

Joey reads off a surprisingly long (but still somewhat incomplete) list of vegan celebrities, and chaotic chatter ensues. Jon contemplates who is the most famous vegan, Joey wonders about the relevance of "Back to the Future Part II," and Vanessa spends much of the episode calling the boys a couple of nerds while unsuccessfully trying to keep them on topic.
