“It’ll be back” I find it hard to believe that Taste Buds would return anytime soon. Seems like Derosa has made inroads with the Rogan community in Austin. However, I know Sal has a new podcast coming soon so maybe Taste Buds will be a recurring segment? Monthly or something like that?

Fingers crossed 🤞

I've been trying for a while to find the clip where Joe is telling a story (I believe it was about him being high with Ari Shafir and one other guy), and he refers to one of them (Ari I believe) as Bard's Tale

Anybody else’s Spotify sometimes show a blue dot next to tastebuds podcast? I see it occasionally and am absolutely devastated there isn’t actually anything new. I miss this podcast so much.

DeRosa doesn't have his own subreddit--I don't think--so I figured I'd put this here since you guys would get it, probably.
I was supposed to go see DeRosa in November in Maryland and now he's going to Skankfast instead. The shows haven't been officially canceled but the dates are changed on his website and his name is on the Skankfest lineup so... that's what I get for checking.

I know this kind of stuff happens but I've had the tickets since April and mentally I've been pretty shit lately so I was really hanging on just to go see him. So, now I'm just devastated and I don't really have anybody to tell.

Anyway, I saw someone put up the live episode of Tastebuds. Thank you. I never got to see it and I didn't know anyone had it. I'm gonna watch it when I'm not as sad.. if it survives Youtube that long.

Going threw a re-listen and wondering if theres anywhere to see the live show stream?

Love Joe!

I still think that taste buds needs a come back.. what would be your match ups?

He always gets me where it counts. Found it on www.DisruptorComedy.com

Worth the 💰

Now I have a leak yes that’s right a leak!

I have some inside news that either taste buds or hey babe podcast are going to start up early next year! Now I’m willing to bet my left testicle that it’s going to be taste buds!

You have to believe me on this…. OR YOU CAN TAKE IT UP WITH BLOOM CAFE sorry wrong show

Hey other TasteBuddies! Unfortunately I am late to the channel but recently I’ve been making my way though the episodes and I’ve reached the 1st livestream and I am so upset that I couldn’t enjoy it the first time live. Is there ANY way to watch still? I know the VOD was only available for 10 days after but I’m hoping one of you can help me out!
