In part one of a two-part episode that was recorded via Zoom, Jon and Vanessa are back, and not a moment too soon. The Tofu Trio revisits vegan goals and hopes for 2025 to see where they stand now. At least, that was the plan. Instead, Jon talks about his time in Chicago over the last few weeks, Joey reveals that he's no longer wearing earrings, and Vanessa talks about Brazil nuts. Meanwhile, because this episode was thrown together very quickly, and Joey couldn't get an external mic to work for him, the audio quality is atrocious. Seriously, it's really bad. On top of that, technical issues made it so a couple of minutes of the episode had to be cut out. If there was ever an episode that could be called an unmitigated disaster, this is the one. Enjoy the show, folks!
