Salmon in the Dishwasher: Finally Understand the Inside Joke and Why That’s Not a Good Idea | Episode 54

In this episode of Don’t Eat Poop!, our hosts Matt and Francine are righting a wrong. Inside jokes are a lot funnier when the person understands the inside joke. So it’s high time they let you in on one of the Don’t Eat Poop! Podcast’s longest-running jokes: the salmon in the dishwasher.

Due to some technical issues, the original episode was never aired. Not knowing this didn’t get fixed, Matt and Francine kept mentioning it thinking their audience was in on the joke. Well, don’t worry! The fish will finally get cooked in the dishwasher today.
