  • Vegan Beauty, Part I
    Jul 8 2025

    Friend of the show Virginia Le Fay is back in part one of a two-part episode about vegan beauty. Virginia sits down with The Tofu Trio to talk about being a makeup artist in the fashion and entertainment industry, and how she always tries to use vegan and cruelty-free products in her profession. Meanwhile, Jon brings out his stash of beauty products (and it's a lot!), Vanessa talks about how Brazilians handle body hair, and Joey shares too much information about his own grooming habits.

  • Frozen Foods
    Jul 1 2025

    This week, The Tofu Trio discuss vegan frozen foods, but first, Joey talks about how much he enjoyed the movie "Ballerina." After that, he plays around with some vegan-related Google search autocompletes that leaves Jon questioning Google's algorithms, Vanessa gets downright giddy while talking about her fancy new vegan milk machine, and somewhere along the way, she says the word "balls," which gets a predictable reaction from the boys. Come say hi to The Tofu Trio at the Vegan Block Party this Saturday, July 5, at Esplanade Park in Ft. Lauderdale! Joey, Jon, and Vanessa will be there proudly sporting their "Vegans Talking Shit" t-shirts. Don't be shy, come introduce yourself! Get your tickets at veganblockparty.com.

  • Are Vegans Pretentious Assholes?, Part II
    Jun 24 2025

    Brad Sitlick makes his seventh guest appearance in a row (and his final appearance) in part two of a two-part episode that asks if vegans are pretentious assholes. The Tofu Trio go to weird places right away, from Vanessa saying that drinking milk is worse than eating meat to Jon comparing eating meat to cannibalism. Before anyone could fully digest that, they get into the heartbreaking themes of "Sophie's Choice" and "Life is Beautiful." They also discuss gossip among vegans, the philosophy of delivering and accepting criticism, and Joey's monstrous appetite. Sprinkled throughout, a little bit here and there, they do get into the actual topic, but just barely.

  • Are Vegans Pretentious Assholes?, Part I
    Jun 17 2025

    Special guest Brad Sitlick is back to help The Tofu Trio discuss whether or not vegans are pretentious assholes. In part one of a two-part episode, the show starts off with an unintentional preview of their upcoming episode about vegan beauty as the men talk about the personal care products they use. Joey's complete lack of self-awareness is on full display as he tries to claim that he isn't a pretentious asshole, and then corrects Jon's grammar just a few minutes later. They all debate if it's okay to go to non-vegan restaurants that have vegan options instead of restaurants that are 100 percent vegan (you can probably guess where Vanessa stands on that one), and there are references to "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," "Fletch," and "The Last American Virgin." Also, listen to how everyone reacts when Brad falls asleep in the middle of the recording!

  • Is It Hard to Go Vegan?, Part II
    Jun 10 2025

    Toward the end of last week's episode, The Tofu Trio, along with special guest Brad Sitlick, started talking about religion, and that's how this week's episode begins. They proceed to talk about religion for a while. A long while. In fact, they talk about religion for over 25 minutes before they finally get back to their discussion about whether or not it's hard to go vegan. Just a reminder, this episode is titled Is It Hard to Go Vegan?, Part II. You just wouldn't know it by listening to most of the episode. By the way, Happy Pride!

In part one of a two-part episode, Brad describes the tragic and traumatic event that lead to him giving up meat for good, Vanessa gives Jon a hard time for a couple of moments when he wasn't a very good vegan, and Joey talks about one of his recurring nightmares. All that, plus masturbation!

  • Is Eating Vegan Inherently Healthy?, Part II
    May 27 2025

    Special guest star Brad Sitlick is back for part two of The Tofu Trio's conversation about whether or not eating vegan is inherently healthy. It was decided early on during part one that the answer to that question is "no," so much of part two consists of Jon talking about his experience dealing with doctors in Brazil without Vanessa to help translate, everyone giving Joey a hard time because of how badly he eats, and for some reason, male pattern baldness.

  • Is Eating Vegan Inherently Healthy?, Part I
    May 20 2025

    In part one of a two-part episode that features The Tofu Trio's friend Brad Sitlick as a guest, the answer to that question is a resounding no. Hear Brad's story and learn why you shouldn't assume that eating vegan is always healthy. Plant-based junk food may be yummy, but vegan or not, highly processed food is highly processed food. Also, Vanessa says the F-word three times, Jon manages to avoid talking about hockey even though the Stanley Cup is going on, and Joey goes the entire episode without correcting anyone's grammar.
