The Jocular Pugilists

Sunday Sauce & Silicon Brains: Reviving Family Dinner in the Age of AI

The Jocular Pugilists Season 9 Episode 4

What do veal cutlets, watermelon overloads, and robot armies have in common? They all show up at the table in this laugh-out-loud episode of The Jocular Pugilists. Phil and Tomas dive into the heart (and stomach) of the Italian Sunday dinner tradition—sharing stories of grandmothers who ruled with a wooden spoon, the shame of overcooked green beans, and the noble fight to keep family dinners alive in a DoorDash world.

With side dishes of AI conspiracies, studio cat drama, and the politics of the kids’ table, this episode will leave you full… of nostalgia and marinara.

Let us know what you think.
