Episode description

What makes one mug superior to another? Is there a proper way to organize your cups? Does a glass mug actually make milk taste better? Todd and Eric dive deep into mug hierarchy, covering the absurd, the practical, and the completely unnecessary rules of cup selection.

  • Cabinet Politics: Todd and Eric analyze how mugs are stored, used, and why some cups are forever banished to the back.
  • The Hunter Conundrum: Special guest Hunter Hersey defends his chaotic cup choices, much to Eric’s frustration.
  • The Great Butterbeer Debate: Can a cup be “too special” to drink from? Hunter seems to think not.
  • Hot vs. Cold Preferences: Should coffee stay hot for hours, or is it meant to naturally cool? The team takes sides.
  • Future Innovations: Todd proposes a Han Solo in Carbonite cocoa mug that might just be the next million-dollar Star Wars collectible.


This episode is pointless in the best way possible, bringing deep analysis to the most mundane daily decisions. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a mug connoisseur, you’ll never look at your cup collection the same way again.
