Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap (Podcast) | comment |
Ursula Vernon, and her husband Kevin Sonney, get drunk once a week and review (generally terrible) prepackaged foods. The show commonly devolves into Ursula ranting about whatever is on her mind, with Kevin gamely attempting to drag the conversation back on topic. Despite, or perhaps because of, Ursula being a children's book author, the show often strays into adult topics ranging from tax law to the hosts' sex lives.The show's archive can be accessed here. The same couple are also responsible for the (very different) podcast The Hidden Almanac. | |

Title Drop | |
Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap (Podcast) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: Inverted. They name the episodes after they're done recording them, so often the title will be something they said. | |

OnceAnEpisode | |
Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap (Podcast) / int_37499c8 | comment |
Once an Episode: The opening, typically consisting of a disclaimer that the show is not for children, a recounting of the animals in the kitchen ("This podcast is recorded in front of a live kitchen beagle..."), and Ursula greeting the audience with "Hello out there in Internet land!" Sponsor segues, generally terribly off topic, almost always starting with "You know what won't [insert random comment here]...?" Apparently, this has become so prevalent in their household at this point that they respond to any question with that opening with "Sofa Wolf Press!" There is an extensive list here. Often followed by an exhortation to please not mention what their ad actually said. | |

Blatant Lies | |
Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap (Podcast) / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
Blatant Lies: In episode 192, "Spam and Lutefisk", Ursula is about to explain what ayahuasca does...and then realizes that a wild teenager has appeared. At which point she says that ayahuasca is about staying in school, doing your homework, and moving out of your dad's house. (For the record, ayahuasca is a potent psychedelic.) | |

Suddenly Shouting: The loosely-defined rules of screed-reading dictate that anything bolded MUST BE READ REALLY LOUDLY, so Ursula does this a lot. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap (Podcast) / int_8409a385 | comment |
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's Kevin and Ursula, eating foods they have purchased cheaply. In later episodes, they have often obtained them for free, since fans have started gifting them with items to review on the show. | |

Shaped Like Itself: In "Sergei vs Internet", Episode 124, one of the things they review is described as "certified organic by organic certifiers". There is much head-scratching about what exactly that's supposed to mean. | |

Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap (Podcast) / int_a7850fbf | comment |
Only Known by Their Nickname: Tortie, Tiny/Little Orange, and Hound all have actual names (Rose, Cammie, and Lacey respectively), but Kevin and Ursula hardly ever use them. Even now that they have two hounds, Lacey is still "Hound", and the new hound is known by his actual name Ernie. | |

Catchphrase | |
Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap (Podcast) / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catchphrase: Much of the opening spiel. "Hello out there in Internet land!" "Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap - where we eat it, so you don't have to!" "You're on notice, [company whose product they are unimpressed with]". "A wild teenager appears!" The food is "Oddly compelling". "Don't do drugs, kids." "How are you, Internet?" "Made of food"/"Not made of food" | |

Berserk Button | |
Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap (Podcast) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Ursula hates it when the package promises things that aren't in the actual food. Ursula also despises the word "Hazelnut" and repeatedly emphasises "filbert" as an alternative. Special guest John (now ex-boyfriend of Lizardbeth) hates misuse of the word "superfood" and unnecessary removal of things like fat to make something seem healthier. | |

Idiosyncratic Ratings Scale | |
Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap (Podcast) / int_e53231b2 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Ratings Scale: Instead of sticking to something boring like stars out of 10, each episode replaces the stars with something relevant to the events of the episodes ("I give this four and a half penguins...") and also randomly varies the maximum number ("...out of seven"), sometimes followed by Kevin complaining that this is going to result in very strange numbers if he ever gets around to adding the feature where all the scores are automatically translated into scores out of 10 for comparison purposes. | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap (Podcast) / int_f96f188c | comment |
Drives Like Crazy: Ursula tells several stories about the semi-terrifying things her friend Tina will do when she's birding, like backing up on the freeway and doing a three-point turn in the middle of a highway. (Although, to be fair, no one else was on the highway at the time.) | |
