2025/12/03

We got our hands on Oreo’s full Thanksgiving flavor lineup, and the results were…interesting. Matt and Jason taste all six limited-edition cookies...pumpkin pie, apple pie, cranberry sauce, sweet potato, creamed corn, and the infamous turkey & stuffing...and rank them from “surprisingly good” to “please never make this again.” Some of these are actually good. Some of these violated the Geneva Convention. Either way, this is the wildest Oreo review we’ve ever done. #oreoreview #thanksgi...

2025/11/28

Congress is pushing a nationwide ban on hemp-derived THC beverages, and the ripple effects are massive, especially in Kentucky where a huge chunk of America’s hemp is grown and processed. Matt and Jason break down what the federal bill actually does, why THC seltzers suddenly became a target, and how the same politicians who legalized hemp in 2018 are now scrambling to shut down the industry they created.

2025/10/31

Sometimes the best conversations happen somewhere between the gas station and the beer fest. In this Arsenic Culture “travel-cast,” Matt, Jason, and Drew hit the road to Knoxville, Tennessee for the Kill The Lights Beer Fest hosted by Xül Brewing. It’s road-trip banter, music debates, random tangents, and the kind of off-the-cuff talk that only happens when you’ve got hours of highway ahead. No studio, no script. Just bourbon brains, bad jokes, and a cooler full of good intentions. #BeerFest ...

Beer. Weed. Sex. Food. Freedom. In this episode of Arsenic Culture, Matt, Jason, Drew, and Jordon unpack what makes Europe so different from the U.S., and maybe, just maybe, better.

Does your bourbon, beer, or wine actually taste better in a fancy glass, or is that just pretentious hype?

In this episode, Matt and Jason swap stories about their own glassware habits (and bad decisions), from tailgates with Solo cups to fancy bourbon pours.
