Razor Wars - Dinner Plus Drinks #136

On this week's episode, you're treated to an absurd commercial about razors. It's a commentary on society's weird place, but we thought it was interesting. We hope you do as well. Of course, there's much more as we returned to the safety of our studio.

Here are a few links from this week's episode:

1. If you've ever driven from the direction of Milwaukee to downtown Chicago, you've probably seen the iconic Morton Salt building. It's now being turned into a concert venue called The Salt Shed.
2. If you want to learn all about Jeremy's Razors (and get retargeted by them a million times), you can visit their website here.
3. Bridget is a lunch packing machine, and these flat ice packs have made keeping lunch cold much easier!
4. Nick is a huge fan of portable tire inflators. You can find them all over, but this one from Amazon is well recommended, and if you use this link, we'll earn a small commission, thank you very much!

Thanks so much for listening, have a great week, and we'll talk again next week!

Episode Transcript

SPEAKER_01 (00:00):
I bet you wish every podcast started with this level
of the drink is poured for you.
Everything's ready.

SPEAKER_02 (00:05):
Organized now.

SPEAKER_01 (00:06):
I know.
I I had a few extra minutesbefore you got here, so I I um
had everything all set up.
I was very I felt like I shouldjust have a red carpet for you.

SPEAKER_02 (00:15):
I will complain to you about why I was later than
playing together.

SPEAKER_01 (00:18):
Oh, I can't wait.
Stay tuned for complaints.

SPEAKER_02 (00:30):
Okay, guys, downtown Lake Geneva in the summer, let
me tell you.

SPEAKER_01 (00:34):
They need to get the traffic light situation sorted.

SPEAKER_02 (00:38):
It's art in the park this weekend.
So I think there's a roadclosed.
It is chaos.

SPEAKER_01 (00:42):
I knew that because a Facebook memory popped up.
One year I snarkly made somesausage art out of I carved
various uh sausage pieces into ashark and said, This is our art
in the park.
Who cares about that?
Come out here and make your ownart.
Did it work?
Sausage.
Come out and make your own uh Imean, I don't know.
People buy sausage.

SPEAKER_02 (01:02):
Probably my my thing didn't really make that much of
a difference, but uh peopledon't seem to know what's going
on because I've been asked acouple times, like, hey, do you
know why roads are shut down?
And honestly, I almost said,probably getting ready for
Venetian, but it's art in thepark, and then Venetian's next
weekend when we shut more of thetown down.

SPEAKER_01 (01:19):
Art in Park is a huge deal for people, and
there's a ton of people thatcome for it, but it's one of
those things that locals arelike, uh Oh what?

SPEAKER_02 (01:25):
I will say last year we were tourists and walked,
like did our morning walk, andthen we ended at Art in the
Park, and they had a greatlittle kids' activity setup
area, so props to them for that.

SPEAKER_01 (01:34):
When I've done the tourist uh morning walk thing
with Simona, I've gotten a lotof dirty looks from the artist.
Oh, really?
Of like, Why are you in myspace?
Well, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 (01:42):
I know the people planning it, so those people are
nice like the Gene Lakes ArtFoundation, but yeah, the rest
of the artists I don't knowabout that.
I have purchased art therethough.
I haven't um some photography,actually.

SPEAKER_01 (01:52):
We don't have anything on our walls.
Maybe I should get some art toput up on it.

SPEAKER_02 (01:55):
Yeah, you should.
I was giving Nick a whole bunchof shit how there's not even a
curtain hanging in his house,but he likes it that way.
It's clean.
It is clean, that is a word forit.

SPEAKER_01 (02:04):
Yes.
Some people would say cold, somepeople would say barren.

SPEAKER_02 (02:07):
Yeah, those were words I would think to describe
it.
I use the word clean.
Inviting.
Not inviting, no, not inviting.
Cold and barren and inviting arenot the same words.

SPEAKER_01 (02:18):
To me, it's inviting because you're like there's no
crap anywhere.
Oh, Nick.
Okay, guys.
Would you like to know aboutthis drink I poured for you?

SPEAKER_02 (02:26):
I would because it just I just thought it was
water.

SPEAKER_01 (02:28):
No, no, no, no.
I was given a sample.
This is from our friends atTattersall Distilling.
Oh, love that.
I'm gonna make a run up therethis next week, and uh they
stopped in to sell me on theirnew canned cocktails.

SPEAKER_02 (02:40):
Oh, everyone's doing it.

SPEAKER_01 (02:41):
So they have canned cocktails now, and this is a
blueberry collins.
So it is basil, lemon,blueberry, and vodka.

SPEAKER_02 (02:50):
Dude, this sounds delicious.

SPEAKER_01 (02:52):
Served in a uh, I have a nice tall glass with some
ice.

SPEAKER_02 (02:55):
You guys even used real glassware, not plastic
cups, which I have a stack ofnext to me.

SPEAKER_01 (03:00):
I told you it's you know special occasions.
Cheers, Burger.

SPEAKER_02 (03:02):
Is this their um cheers, Nick?
Is this their like a plainvodka?
Because they do a really goodbootlegger.
Yes, this is the plain vodka.

SPEAKER_01 (03:11):
Okay, and then uh basil, lemon, and blueberry.

SPEAKER_02 (03:15):
Oh that's pretty good for a canned cocktail.
It is only 14 proof.
Whoa, that's delicious, might Ieven say.

SPEAKER_01 (03:25):
Yeah, so they have a couple canned cocktails.
They're trying to push them onme to sell.

SPEAKER_02 (03:30):
I mean, they're better than other canned
cocktails.
I've wait, but however, I gottajust give this moment here.
Maybe canned cocktails are justbetter when they're poured into
a glass with ice cell.

SPEAKER_01 (03:39):
I think that's a big part of it.

SPEAKER_02 (03:40):
Because I learned this week um ice cold that I
don't like hard seltzers, right?
But what I don't like is I don'tlike hard seltzer out of the
can.
But I had a hard, I had a TapoChico in a glass bottle, and it
was so much better.

SPEAKER_01 (03:54):
They also have a whiskey peach tea.

SPEAKER_02 (03:56):
Oh my gosh.
I think I just need to pour theminto a glass.

SPEAKER_01 (03:58):
They have a key lime pie gin and tonic.
And then they have a watermelonbootlegger.
So the lemonade thing that youlike with watermelon.

unknown (04:06):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (04:07):
Okay, this is so good though.
I agree.
It's actually much better in theglass, I think.
I know, that's what I need toknow.

SPEAKER_02 (04:14):
Ice which freaking opens the point, I guess, right?

SPEAKER_01 (04:17):
So I had this in our big cooler, which is at 32
degrees for about three days,and then I it's literally it's
gonna get super diluted becauseof how much ice I put in it.
There's a lot of ice, but it'sit's a tall glass filled all the
way to the top with ice, andthen the but that's the way I
like it.
So it is ice cold, it isdelicious.

unknown (04:34):
I mean, it's good.

SPEAKER_01 (04:35):
Check them out.
Tattersol's doing some coolstuff.
I'm going up there because we'repicking out some whiskey, and we
have a barrel-aged cocktailcoming to us that I need to take
some pictures of and stuff.
Stay tuned for more.

SPEAKER_02 (04:59):
Yeah, Nick loves the mornings if you guys haven't

SPEAKER_01 (05:02):

it'll be fine.

SPEAKER_02 (05:05):

SPEAKER_02 (05:23):
You did.
Uh I would like a nap.
August is the worst.

SPEAKER_01 (05:26):

about 98 and humid.
It was just wet.
I think Sunday.
And also it rained.

SPEAKER_01 (06:05):
Yeah, and Sunday was almost worse because it was
still like the 90-degree day hadsome airflow.

SPEAKER_02 (06:11):
Yeah.
And then Sunday was just like aspawn.

SPEAKER_01 (06:14):
Sunday was, yes.
It was like you were in Florida.

SPEAKER_02 (06:16):
Oh, yeah.
Which I don't understand peoplewho live in Florida.

SPEAKER_01 (06:19):

SPEAKER_01 (06:48):
Don't worry, don't worry.
Don't worry.
But we're gonna do that.
It's gonna be great.

SPEAKER_02 (06:52):
And then we're never doing an event again.

SPEAKER_01 (06:54):
Never again.

SPEAKER_02 (06:55):
Just kidding.
In probably one or two shortmonths, you'll see us again.
Um it's been a lot.

SPEAKER_01 (07:05):
It's a lot of work.
This whole summer thing.
I love all these people thathave summers off.

SPEAKER_02 (07:09):
And I I am following teachers, of course, on
Instagram and people I amfriends with that are teachers
that are like, oh, August,school's coming at me.
And I'm like, oh well, guesswhat?
School's coming at you, and Istill don't know who my teacher
for my teacher is for my kids.
So like, shut up.

SPEAKER_01 (07:26):
You're on vacation still.
Did you see so California passeda law that kids can't start
school until 8 30?

SPEAKER_02 (07:33):
We don't start school until 8 30.
It's annoying as shit.

SPEAKER_01 (07:36):
High schools start at 7 30, though.

SPEAKER_02 (07:38):
Oh, I was like, I don't know, that's when we
start.

SPEAKER_01 (07:40):
So they passed this law.
That's so dumb.
And, you know, because it'sbetter for kids.
Like sleep patterns, it's betterfor kids.
And everybody's like, who wouldbe opposed to this?
I'm like, every parent in theworld that's job starts at 8.

SPEAKER_02 (07:53):
Also, every kid who will eventually have to have a
job that starts at 8.
Like, I just I'm not on boardwith that shit.
Get out of bed and go do whatyou need to do.
These are the kids that can'tget their ass out of bed at noon
to go do something.

SPEAKER_01 (08:05):
You know, circadian rhythms are a thing.
No, that's bullshit.
As somebody that struggles inthe morning.
I have no patience for it.

SPEAKER_02 (08:12):
You're an adult.
Wake up, go to bed earlier, andthen get up and do your shit.

SPEAKER_01 (08:16):
You know, sometimes I'm just nauseous in the
morning, Bridget.

SPEAKER_02 (08:18):
Well, sometimes so am I.
And then I have a baby.

SPEAKER_01 (08:22):
Well, I can't have a baby.
So uh that's not a solution formy morning.

SPEAKER_02 (08:27):
Sometimes I'm nauseous in the middle of the
day.
Should I just go take a nap?
No, that is not reality.
I have no patience for thiscrap.
Sorry, Nick.
I'm not sorry, actually.
No, you're not sorry.
These kids should wake up and goto school.
My kids are up at 6 a.m.
So I'm like, fucking school thatstarts at 8 30 in the morning is
a joke.
8 30 to 3 45.

(08:49):
Come on.
Anyway, I'm mean.
This is why I don't run aschool.
Uh Bridget for school board.
Shut up, everybody.
Shut up and just go 8 30 in themorning for a high school
student.
Don't you think that'sridiculous?

SPEAKER_01 (09:02):
Plus, it pushes sports back.

SPEAKER_02 (09:04):
Yeah, so now the kids are going to bed too late,
which is probably why they can'twake up.

SPEAKER_01 (09:08):
Stop playing your video games.

SPEAKER_02 (09:10):
Just wake up.
Get up TikTok.

SPEAKER_01 (09:11):
When I was a kid, we only had one channel on TV.
And it was black and white.
And you had to get up and changechannel by hand.
Did you have a hand-changing TVor did all your TVs have
remotes?
Our TVs had remotes.
I did have one.
That was a black and white TV.

SPEAKER_02 (09:27):
Does that make us fancy?
Thought that was normal.

SPEAKER_01 (09:29):
We were, yeah, I mean, we were on the edge of if
you had an older model, it wasreally yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (09:34):
Okay, man.

SPEAKER_01 (09:35):
Were all your televisions color sets?

SPEAKER_02 (09:37):
I think so.

SPEAKER_01 (09:38):
We did have two black and white TVs when I was a
kid.
They were like subsidiarytelevisions.

SPEAKER_02 (09:42):
Were all your TVs colored sets?
Oh god.
We are losing it uh because wehaven't slept in a week or two
now.

SPEAKER_01 (09:51):
I was mowing lawn until like 9 10 last night in
the dark with my tractor lit up.

SPEAKER_02 (09:56):
I just think I'd pay someone to do that.

SPEAKER_01 (10:01):
I wonder how much it would be.
I'm guessing several hundreddollars a week.
Really?
It's four hours.
That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 (10:09):
I don't know.
You're they're like my lawnmowerguys, I swear it takes them like
10 minutes to do my lawn.
I'm like, did you just earn yourmoney?
Well, I get that gas costs a lotof money, but their lawnmower
zip, man.

SPEAKER_01 (10:18):
They're like, I have a huge lawnmower.
Yeah, but it's a tractor.
It's really slow.
No, it's not.
It goes like 25 miles per hour.

SPEAKER_02 (10:28):
Oh, this is unrelated.
I thought it was got reallyexcited.
So I was like, wait, were youwith me?
Okay, I'm just gonna transitioninto this.
I uh that's a clap for you.
I was in Indianapolis in themiddle of the week.

SPEAKER_01 (10:38):
Yes.
And um because you're likebasically a high school kid,
just living life.

SPEAKER_02 (10:43):
Clearly, I caught something.
It's not COVID.
I took a test.
Um, but they have like therentable bikes, obviously, which
I've been on, but they're theyhave rentable scooters.

SPEAKER_01 (10:53):
I too have ridden a bike in my life.

SPEAKER_02 (10:55):
Yeah, like the rentable bikes where you like,
okay, hip downtown, and we hadan Airbnb that our friends owned
right outside the downtown,where you're like, it's
definitely walkable, but ittakes some time, so this bike
would be more efficient.
Well, the bikes you have to dropat the station.
Scooters you can drop anywhere.

SPEAKER_01 (11:10):
And this is a huge controversy in Milwaukee.

SPEAKER_02 (11:12):
I mean, all I could think about was like, oh my God,
this is so first of all, it'sincredibly unsafe.
Like these scooters werewhipping, and we're just like
were they motorized or yeah,yeah.
They were and they went reallyfast, and like we were just
whipping in and out of sidewalkstreets, pedestrians, and I'm
like, I I hope I mean we gotgood at it after a while, but in
the beginning, I'm likesqueezing between a a parking

(11:33):
meter pole and a pedestrian anda tree, so I'm ducking and it
was crazy.
So anyway, uh that was lots offun though.
I think I'd be too scared to useone.
I was, but then you know, myfriend, we just didn't really
think about it.
It was just like this is whatwe're doing.

SPEAKER_01 (11:46):
Because you were drunk?

SPEAKER_02 (11:47):
I was not drunk at the time, no.
Not when I started, not thefirst scooter ride.
I don't think I could have doneit drunk.

SPEAKER_01 (11:57):
We were talking, uh, my friend Jaime slash seller of
Nu Glaris beer to me, Jaime andI were talking about New Glaris
and they're uh uh selling NewGlarus.
And the ultimate thing that theywill do that's gonna just kill
the markets when they come outwith 19.2 ounce cans.
Oh, yeah.
And we were just talking aboutit.
It's the biggest growth area insea stores, quick trips, like

(12:19):
the collaboration, they mightjust do a quick trip exclusive
for that.
They should.
But could you imagine the numberof dudes driving down the road
with a 19.2 spotted cow?
Oh.
So like I feel like inWisconsin, if you if I don't
think driving down the roaddrinking a 19.2 ounce can of
spotted cow could be classifieddrinking with is weird.

(12:41):
I I think that just would belike, oh, hey, officer, oh I got
a spotted cow, eh?

SPEAKER_02 (12:46):
Now you have me saying, like, okay, um, what's
the allure of it besides for aroadie?

SPEAKER_01 (12:52):
You can tell your wife you only had one beer and
not lie to her.

SPEAKER_02 (12:56):
Oh, oh, okay.
I get it.
For for men that like it.

SPEAKER_01 (12:59):
Drinking beer and like their marriage, it's a
win-win.

SPEAKER_02 (13:03):
It's a marriage made in heaven.

SPEAKER_01 (13:05):
Because I don't know, you're a wife.
You understand.
You all nag.
You're don't drink so manybeers.
Tyler, how many beers did youdrink?
Stop drinking so much, Tyler.

SPEAKER_02 (13:15):
Yeah, something like that.

SPEAKER_01 (13:17):
So he can tell you honestly, he had one beer.
I don't know if that's honest.
It is honest.
It's one beer.

SPEAKER_02 (13:24):
Oh, this is terrible.

SPEAKER_01 (13:26):
It's like having a stein.
It's only one beer.
It's four tickets instead of twotickets.

SPEAKER_02 (13:31):
Three beers, but what?

SPEAKER_01 (13:33):
But it's only one beer.

SPEAKER_02 (13:35):
It just gets so warm.

SPEAKER_01 (13:37):
Yeah, that is the problem.
That's why I don't like 192s.
I actually like them forsplitting.
It it works well that way.
I like them when it's about 50degrees outside and I'm mowing
my lawn because then I don'thave to like get get it on and
off as much.
I can just, you know, and itstays cold enough because it's
cold out.
You can have one in each cupholder of your tractor.
Well, the the the one side is umlike a big tray that's for like

(13:59):
putting phones and wallets andthings.
So cans kind of slide around alittle too much.

SPEAKER_02 (14:03):
Is there only one cup holder?

SPEAKER_01 (14:04):
Yeah, only one cup holder.

SPEAKER_02 (14:06):
Well, I guess it's only measured.

SPEAKER_01 (14:07):
You should drive the tractor someday.
You know, Elliot.
I don't feel the need to do it.
Elliot's about old enough, hecan learn.

SPEAKER_02 (14:11):
Elliot does like love uh helping with the
lawnmower at my parents' house.

SPEAKER_01 (14:15):
He's he's big.
It's enclosed in a gas glasscabinet, so you can't really
like fall off and cut anythingoff.
So you can use it at a youngerage.
Good.
I'll let him know.
Glass cabinet.
That's a great way to put it.

SPEAKER_02 (14:26):
It's like Willy Wonka's glass elevator.
Come and see.
Uh, our musician at our beerpicnic sang a Willy Wonka song.

SPEAKER_01 (14:34):
You could mock it.
Also, Nick's doing it for you.

SPEAKER_02 (14:38):
Okay.
You want to know something thatI thought was pretty cool?
I do.
I'm gonna tell you.
Um, you know the Morton Saltbuilding when you drive down to
Chicago?
Iconic.
I know, right?
Well, apparently there is now aum a space related to that uh
called the Salt Shed.
And it's an independent musicvenue.

SPEAKER_01 (14:58):
And I was like Owned by AIG's seventh degree
subsidiary.

SPEAKER_02 (15:03):
Is that what you're looking at right now?
I'm sure it is.

SPEAKER_01 (15:06):
Like that new one in Milwaukee that people get all
yeah, it's like actually ownedby AIG.

SPEAKER_02 (15:11):
Yeah, well, they own um Empty Bottle, Talia Hall,
Evanston Space, Beauty Bar, andthe Promontory.
Um, it's a prof it's amulti-purpose space, one and a
half acres of indoor and outdoorgrounds, and it's right along
the river.
Um, so it took the like saltshed from Elston, the street
that you see when you're on thehighway.

SPEAKER_01 (15:30):
Whoever they paid to make their website look like
they didn't pay for it.

SPEAKER_02 (15:33):
Oh, I like their website.
You can see it.

SPEAKER_01 (15:35):
It looks like a two-year-old did it.

SPEAKER_02 (15:37):
Oh, I don't mind it.

SPEAKER_01 (15:39):
Well, like it's well done.

SPEAKER_02 (15:40):
I like the top.
It gets worse as you go down.

SPEAKER_01 (15:42):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like it looks yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (15:44):
But the show is But they did it on purpose.
You think so?
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 (15:49):
If you could buy that building, you have the
money to do well.

SPEAKER_02 (15:53):
To me, that's such an iconic building that like
you're so used to seeing.
And to be honest with you, Istill thought it was like, I
don't know, making salt or doingwhatever they do, putting salt
in bags.
Is I think in my head, I thinkso too.
I thought it was like stillpackaging salt.

SPEAKER_01 (16:06):
Well, there's still a huge need for it.
It's not like you're right.
Like there's a giant salt build,there's this giant salt mountain
in Milwaukee Harbor.

SPEAKER_02 (16:13):
Yeah.
Well, anyway, so I thought itwas pretty cool.
So new music venue.
I think it's it's like justanother.

SPEAKER_03 (16:19):
Is there OAR play there?

SPEAKER_02 (16:21):
I bet they will, and I'll be there.
That's our next reunion.
Um, so they host outdoor summershows, general admissions,
standing room only, and then youcan do like chairs and blankets.
So for a um oh no, you can't.
I'm sorry.
It says outside chairs orblankets for sitting will not be
permitted.
That's bullshit.
But there are plenty of optionsto sit and relax, take in some
tunes while enjoying a drink ora meal.

(16:42):
So full list of so like I'mwe'll link the article from WGN
and then uh Salt Shed Chicago,which is really hard to say.
Uh salt shedchicago.com.
Sure.
That's really hard to say,right?
Salt Shed Chicago.
Anyway, we'll link both of thosewebsites on the show notes.

SPEAKER_01 (16:59):
Uh, I'm also gonna link an article about the row,
the role of road salt at Port ofMilwaukee that I just found.
Because it's actually reallyinteresting.
I saw some pictures on theTwitters about Port of
Milwaukee, and uh it wassomebody Milwaukee urbanists
generally hate the hone bridgebecause it destroys the
lakefront.
Like it's so pretty, it's asymbol of the city.
Light the hone was so cool, butalso there's a lot of land there

(17:22):
that it just like ruins.

SPEAKER_03 (17:24):
I mean I don't want to be there.

SPEAKER_01 (17:26):
Oh no, they want to use it for public use.
Uh so there's some interestingthings about the Salt TikToks.
I'm gonna link to this too,because actually I want to read
it because it looks pretty cool.
Um, I'm gonna play something foryou.
I saw this a couple weeks ago,and it was like influencer
culture and all these things,and I want to know what you
think of it.

unknown (17:43):
Oh god.

SPEAKER_01 (17:49):
So this is a video.
A car drove up to a place.

SPEAKER_00 (17:57):
Hit a person.

SPEAKER_01 (17:58):
Hit a person in a bearded.

SPEAKER_00 (18:00):
Do you remember when there were many genders, and
only one and a half of them hadto shave their mustaches?
Oh hi.
I'm Jeremy Boring, CEO and Godking of the Daily Wire.
Harry's Racers used to advertiseon our shows.
They're a great product, and wewere happy to do it.
That's before some peon whoworks for me went and said that
boys are boys and girls aregirls.
And that was just too much forHarry's.

(18:22):
They condemned our views.
Views held by millions ofAmericans and virtually every
human who's walked the planetuntil about 15 minutes ago as
inexcusable.
And they dropped their ass toour name because of the
ridiculous awesome.
Gillette razors used to be thebest a man could get.

(18:46):
Unless you're the kind of manwho teaches his daughter to
shave her beard.
If that makes sense to you, keepbuying Gillette.
Holy shit! But if you've hadenough of the woke bullshit, and
you're tired of paying companieslike Harry's and Gillette to
hate you.
He's now got a uh flamethrowerthat he's playing things on fire

(19:07):
with.
Everything on fire, includingpeople.
And buy my new razor instead.
Jeremy's Razors.
Dude.

SPEAKER_02 (19:17):
Wait, is that a real person?
Jeremy's Razor.

SPEAKER_01 (19:19):
So this is a guy that had uh he's Daily Wire,
which is a Oh, okay.
So that is that's what Ithought.
And they did Harry's Razors, andhe said, We like the product, we
did really well, it's a greatpartnership.
But one of the shows they did,somebody got in and said, like,
no, men are men, women arewomen, I'm against this trans
stuff.
Which I know a lot of peoplethink is wrong, and a lot of

(19:40):
people think is right.
It's a legitimate discussion, atI think.
So Harry's Razors said, like,no, we're not gonna advertise
with you because we are forgender inclusivity.
And um, so this guy, instead ofbeing like, Corey, is leaning
into no we think men are men,women are women, and I'm gonna

(20:05):
make my own razor company.
And if you want to be thinkingthat like this is ridiculous,
then don't buy my razors, don'tbuy Harry's.
Or Gillette.

SPEAKER_02 (20:15):
Yeah.
Gillette.
I mean, I want to know how thisdoes because I I sadly, for the
world we live in, think it'sgonna do great.

SPEAKER_01 (20:23):
I think it's gonna do great as well.
I mean, look at all these likecoffee companies that are like
all guns.
Look at the there's it is justlike 2022, lean into your base.

SPEAKER_02 (20:32):
Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 (20:33):
I'm like But look at this is like influencer
politics, all of the things,Bridget.

SPEAKER_02 (20:38):
The words that I was just about to say were like, I'm
so appalled, but I'm alsoimpressed.
Not because I believed, or likeuh because my beliefs align with
this guy, but because he had thecojones to do that.
I'm there too.
Um I think it's a little bit ofa dick move.

SPEAKER_01 (20:56):
Oh, it's a huge dick move, but he's leaning into it.
Also, I do think in America wehave to stop being so damn
ideologically pure.
Where if someone does one thingyou disagree with, you can't be
friends with them, you can'twork with them.
I do think that's one of thethings we have a huge problem
with in America is okay, so onehost of one show on this network

(21:18):
has an opinion that you don'tagree with.
Because I think so you're gonnacancel all of your advertising?

SPEAKER_02 (21:24):
Sure, they've been pressured to right.
Yeah, and I think that's wherewe don't know how to talk about
things as adults anymore.

SPEAKER_01 (21:31):
And we don't know how to say, hey, I think that
whatever on the LGBTQ plusspectrum is fine, and you don't,
and then we're gonna disagreewith that.

SPEAKER_02 (21:45):
Yeah.
Oh, I uh was not prepared forthis type of discussion today,
Nick.

SPEAKER_01 (21:50):
Wasn't it crazy though?
I thought you would reallyappreciate this this
advertisement.

SPEAKER_02 (21:54):
I I want to see how many other people are because to
me that's not just not agreeingand like, oh, guns.
You know, like we're we'reclear.
This is he lost a lot of moneyand got really pissed off.
And this is a middle finger.
Like, this is a straight fuckyou.
And I haven't seen that really.
Um, I'm all for it.
He spent a lot of money on thatcommercial.

(22:14):
So, like, at least he did thatinstead of just like pouting and
whining, I guess.
Uh, I'm gonna need a minuteabout that.
I don't know what to say.

SPEAKER_01 (22:23):
I see it's such an interesting commentary on
America, on business.
I do think increasingly as abusiness, you do have to pick a
side because if you try andstraddle, you're gonna get
canceled constantly.
Like, and it's just, I don'tknow.
Like, you have to stand forsomething, not necessarily pick
a side, but you have to standfor something.
Patagonia is so big on theirenvironmentalism because they

(22:45):
know their core customers areenvironmentalists at some level.

unknown (22:49):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (22:50):
So I think them choosing to be like, yeah, we're
gonna donate to 1% for theenvironment.
And if you don't like that,you're not our customer, and
it's not worth the oxygen toargue with you.

SPEAKER_02 (23:00):
I just feel like that's less appalling than say
something like that.

SPEAKER_01 (23:06):
I mean, I agree, but I just thought it was very
funny.

SPEAKER_02 (23:09):
I mean, I'm glad you shared that with me.
I'll give you that.
But damn.
So Jeremy's razor.
I thought it was I didn't know.
I thought it was a joke thatwhole time.
No, it's like, I don't knowwhat's going on.

SPEAKER_01 (23:19):
I'm gonna see if I can get a referral link so I can
make some money off of this too.

SPEAKER_02 (23:22):
How much are his razors?
Are they the same price asHarry's?

SPEAKER_01 (23:25):
60 bucks, it appears.
$60?
Travel case, the razor, eightblade subscription, shave cream,
and post-shave balm.

SPEAKER_02 (23:33):
Dude, I'm sorry.
How much are Harry's?
I need to look.
Harry's starter set, let's say,right?
Five dollars.
That can't be right.
Okay, I don't know.
This is harder than it shouldbe.
Just like tell me how much yourrazor is.
Uh shave set.
Okay, so Jeremy's razors are farmore expensive than Harry's.

(23:56):
The most expensive shave set Isee on Harry's site is sold out
and it's$35.

SPEAKER_01 (24:03):
How many razor blades does it come with?

SPEAKER_02 (24:05):
Uh standby, please.
Uh comes with a travel sizeshave gel cover.
I don't know.
Weighted cord.
I don't know.
One.
I think just one razor.
So the other one comes witheight.

(24:27):
Interesting.
I don't know.
I'm not qualified to talk aboutthis yet.
Because I think it's uh okay.
I don't know, guys.
Sorry, we'll have to figure thisout off air for you.

SPEAKER_01 (24:37):
I feel like I need to come up with a better razor
for my Chevine.
I use the same razor that I'veused since high school.

SPEAKER_02 (24:43):
Shut your mouth.

SPEAKER_01 (24:44):
Yeah, and I'm still on the uh so Gillette actually
had a problem with this.
It's a business school productthat they they uh use case
because the Mach 3 that theycame out with is like an
incredible razor.
And everybody they kept tryingto be like, no, get four blades,
five blades, and people arelike, no, I I don't like this,
works great.
I really like this.
Yeah, and so now they havepeople and they make the money

(25:04):
on the stick, right?
The plastic stick.
So I have used the same stickfor 20 some years.
Are you kidding me?
No.
Wow, and that's I mean, I buyrazors every two weeks, you
know, which is probably too longto go.
People are yelling at me, but itworks fine for me.
And um, but it's like one ofthese things where they like the
razor's kind of what the razoris.

(25:26):
There's safety razors are makinga comeback again.

SPEAKER_02 (25:29):
Because that's really cheap.
Okay,$17 for eight blades.
So even if you throw in shavedgel, whatever, it's not gonna
equal$60.

SPEAKER_01 (25:38):
$35 and 17 is what, $52?

SPEAKER_02 (25:41):
What was$35?

SPEAKER_01 (25:42):
The previous cat.

SPEAKER_02 (25:44):
Oh, yeah.
So it's still comparable.
Shave cream is eight bucks.
Shave gel is six bucks.
Anyway, okay.
That is fascinating.
I want to know if you guys buyhis razors.
I'm like dying to see follow-upon this.
When did that get published?

SPEAKER_01 (25:58):
Like two weeks ago.
I've been sitting on it for thisto tell you.

SPEAKER_02 (26:01):
Damn, Nick.

SPEAKER_01 (26:02):
I was really excited.

SPEAKER_02 (26:03):
Oh, I really want to see it.
Like, I want to see how it does.
I'm gonna spend too much timeobsessively looking at that.

SPEAKER_01 (26:08):
It's just it's a very interesting pivot.

SPEAKER_02 (26:11):
Sorry.
I'm struggling with this Augustcold, everybody.
So pre-apologies.

SPEAKER_01 (26:16):
It's good that you have it before um school because
you're gonna build up all yourimmunity.

SPEAKER_02 (26:24):
Because I'm just gonna get sick again in a month.

SPEAKER_01 (26:26):
Yep.

SPEAKER_02 (26:26):
Yep.
I'm just gonna perpetually besick for the next few months.

SPEAKER_01 (26:30):
I am getting super targeted on the Jeremy's Razors
retargeting ads now, though.
Damn it, so am I gonna be.

SPEAKER_02 (26:36):
And um Is that a sentence I just said?

SPEAKER_01 (26:40):
Also, uh saw so I'm getting all types of shaving
products and all my interestsare converging because I'm also
getting um targeted withinformation about shaving cows
and cow shaving.
Shaving cows.
Yeah, you gotta shave cowsbecause if you don't shave them,
they grow a moustache.

SPEAKER_02 (26:56):
Oh we'll be right back, folks.

unknown (27:20):
We're back.

SPEAKER_01 (27:21):
Not yet, Bridget.

SPEAKER_02 (27:22):
Why?

SPEAKER_01 (27:22):
Because it's product rec time, not after the break.

SPEAKER_02 (27:25):
That's why that was only like a half-ass song.

SPEAKER_01 (27:27):
Oh, okay, okay.
We did have someone at DOSFEStalk about how much they like
hearing you sing.
I can't remember it.

SPEAKER_02 (27:33):
I did not hear that.
Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (27:34):
Somebody made it like, oh yeah, I've heard you
sing before.

SPEAKER_02 (27:36):
Oh, that was a mistake.
I was like, whoa.
Oh, so maybe they didn't meanthey liked it so much as they
like when I stop.
All right, I'm here with anultimate mom move product rec
for you because Oh, good,because I have an ultimate dad
product record.
It's back to school time,everybody.
Um, I have, I think.

SPEAKER_01 (27:57):
It's been in Target recently, is it really?

SPEAKER_02 (27:58):
Oh, it's been back to school for months in the
stores.
But what I mean is I'm the backto school.
It's two weeks before school,and now I need to think about
buying my kids' school supplies.
I think about it in June, andthen I, you know, now it's
August 12th.
Um, this is dumb, but I did buyon an end cap at Walmart one
year these flat ice packs.

(28:20):
And I know this sounds like I'mused to like bulky kind of, you
know, one and a half inches bywhatever.

SPEAKER_01 (28:27):
They're little, they got the little ice inside.

SPEAKER_02 (28:28):
Yeah.
Those are great.
Like, but these flat ice packsare where it's at.

SPEAKER_01 (28:32):
You guys put them in the liner of the lunchbox.
You can put them in the liner.

SPEAKER_02 (28:36):
Or like Elliot's friends have all been really
into.
There's apparently like um newlunchables that are like not
disgustingly processed meat.
So it's like a legit, more legitlooking lunch, in my opinion.
Um, all of his friends.

SPEAKER_01 (28:49):
It's like actual lunchables brand.

SPEAKER_02 (28:51):
It's actual lunchables brand.
Um, and it's like a sub, it'sfive dollars.
It comes with like a water andlike a flavoring thing you put
in the water, some Pringles.

SPEAKER_01 (29:01):
Their website has a huge banner that says this is
advertising.
And you have to stick if you'rea kid or a parent.

SPEAKER_02 (29:06):
Oh, uh interesting.
Um, but not the lunchables likeyou've seen, like not the little
peelable ones where like themeat literally looks like
questionable, whatever.
So, anyway, it's like a sub.
So we take those, like we lethim have those every once in a
while so he can be a cool kidtoo, you know.
And we put them in his lunchboxwith these flat ice packs.
And I know this sounds stupid,but just do yourself a favor.

(29:26):
We're putting a link to them.
They come in a pack of four orfive.
Some places sell them by likethe day of the week, whatever.
We don't have time for that.
But get yourself some flat icepacks, it's gonna make your life
way easier.
I also use them for my lunch allthe time.
This is fascinating.
I know.
There's also a thing calledbrunchables.

SPEAKER_01 (29:42):
I like that.
Yeah, anyway, that's all.
They still have pizza though.

SPEAKER_02 (29:47):
They do.

SPEAKER_01 (29:47):
Elliot doesn't love the nachos cheese dip.

SPEAKER_02 (29:50):
Which is like, what the fuck kind of lunch is that?
Yeah, I said it.
Nachos is not a lunch for a kid.

SPEAKER_01 (29:58):
Nacho lunch, maybe.
Man, I'm spoiled by my my kidseat good lunches.
Man, that salad you had theother day.

SPEAKER_02 (30:04):
Buddy, you're getting ahead of the game here.

SPEAKER_01 (30:06):
Oh, did I?
Um, I'm gonna have an ultimatedad recommendation, which is a
portable DC-powered tireinflator that you can plug into
the cigarette lighter in yourcar.
And if your tire goes flat, youcan just pump it back up.
This is pretty funny product rectime.
We've all had uh situationswhere your tire maybe is a

(30:28):
little flat, maybe a littlewarning light thing goes off.
So you don't have access to anair compressor, don't want to go
in some weird gas stationsituation.
So this thing, you plug it inyour cigarette lighter, and it
makes a really great noise.
And then your your thinginflades goes bigger.
Thank you for that noise.
So, anyway, uh there's many outthere.

(30:49):
I'm gonna link to one on Amazon.
Uh full disclosure, I don't havethis one, but it's highly rated
and it appears to be a very goodprice.
So that was very honest of you.

So, but I have two (30:57):
one for my car, one for Sarah's car.
Wow.
And when Simona starts driving,she's gonna get one.
You know, I'll sit her down andsay, now listen here, baby girl.

SPEAKER_02 (31:08):
Listen, here's your tire compressor.
Well, daddy goes to cry.

SPEAKER_01 (31:12):
That's exactly right.
I know.
Catch you in 14 years when thishappens.
She's gonna get a farm license.
She'll be able to drive early.
What the hell is a farm license?
You can drive if you're 13, ifyou live on a farm.
That is insane that you candrive heavy machinery.
And but you're only supposed todo it while driving to a farm.

SPEAKER_02 (31:32):
Sure.
Well, that's everywhere inWisconsin.

SPEAKER_01 (31:34):
Yeah.
I could drive a boat.
I'm surprised like Michaeldidn't have a farm license.
He might have.

SPEAKER_02 (31:37):
I mean, I've never talked about it.

SPEAKER_01 (31:38):
Should ask him.

SPEAKER_02 (31:39):
I could drive a boat when I was 14, but not do this.
I couldn't drive a car, butdrive a boat where there's no
rules and much easier to hitthings than it's like.

SPEAKER_01 (31:46):
And you can drink while you're doing it.

SPEAKER_02 (31:47):
It's insane.
It is insane.

SPEAKER_01 (31:49):
I think the whole boating license thing is weird.
It's a bunch of crap.
Can you get a boat license andnot drive it?
Do you need one?
How old should we?
If you have a car license, youdon't need it.
It's so weird.
And driving a boat's hard.

SPEAKER_02 (32:01):
You don't want, yeah.
I mean, you didn't want medriving a boat when I was 14 and
I had my license.

SPEAKER_01 (32:06):
Get on a jet ski and mew!

SPEAKER_02 (32:08):
You need your license for that too.
That's why I got my licensebecause we got a jet ski.

SPEAKER_01 (32:13):
All right, we'll be right back.

SPEAKER_02 (32:30):
We're back.
That was my full-fledged singingfor whoever liked my singing at
Dasfest.
Thanks so much.
I have um the Phoebe Buffetvoice right now.
What is it?
Smelly Cast.
Smelly Cat.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, go on.
Um, I thought we'd bring backsome fun would you rather for
this week.
I got stressed when I saw this.

SPEAKER_01 (32:50):
Um, so I have a few things.
A few things.
Would you rather eat foods thathave never been cooked or only
eat cooked foods?
Cooked foods.
So, like no salad anymore.

SPEAKER_02 (33:01):
I know, but there's cooked food in my salad, like
chicken.

SPEAKER_01 (33:04):
But there's no lettuce anymore because it's not
cooked unless you sauteed it.

SPEAKER_02 (33:08):
Well, I mean, I could I would rather have cooked
broccoli than raw broccoli.
Okay, okay.
Just checking.
I don't want someone to likeforce me to eat raw literally
anything, raw meat.
Don't you want it cooked?

SPEAKER_01 (33:21):
Yeah, I agree with you, but like I felt like you
you like your crunchies so much.

SPEAKER_02 (33:25):
I do, then give me some do Cheetos count as cooked?
There's they are.

SPEAKER_01 (33:29):
Yeah, they do, yeah, they do.

SPEAKER_02 (33:30):
See, give me some cheetings.

SPEAKER_01 (33:31):
You can saute up your kale.
Yum.
You don't like sauteed kale?
Kale chips.
Kale chips, there you go.
They're cooked.
Yeah.
Would you rather eat a spoonfulof cinnamon or a spoonful of
salt?
Oof.
Oof.
Stop.

SPEAKER_02 (33:46):
Do you have to do it all at once?

SPEAKER_01 (33:47):
All at once.
Oh.

SPEAKER_02 (33:48):
Just like bam.
Oh.
My gut is saying salt.
Me too.
Because of all the sneezingotherwise.

SPEAKER_01 (33:56):
I just feel like I will be dead.

SPEAKER_02 (34:00):
Sounds really awful.

SPEAKER_01 (34:01):
This one's hard for me.
Would you rather have to usechopsticks every day for the
rest of your life?
Oh no.
Or never be able to use a forkagain.
So you so like you can onlyutensil you can use is
chopsticks, or you can use anyutensil except a fork.

SPEAKER_02 (34:19):
I think any utensil except a fork.

SPEAKER_01 (34:22):
Because I could use a spork.

SPEAKER_02 (34:24):
You could use a spork! I forgot about sporks
until this weekend.
I mean, a knife you can alwaysmake into a fork.
I feel like you could figure itout with a knife and a spoon,
right?
You'd look like an idiot, butyou might look dumber using
chopsticks everywhere.

SPEAKER_01 (34:37):
I cannot use chopsticks.
I know.

SPEAKER_02 (34:39):
I'm so like very I focus and I practice and it's
just so inefficient, but I do itwhen appropriate.

SPEAKER_01 (34:49):
Uh-oh.
Would you rather have anever-ending bowl of purple door
ice cream?
What flavor?
Or what's your favorite?

SPEAKER_02 (34:56):
Salted caramel.

SPEAKER_01 (34:57):
Salted caramel.
Or would you rather have anever-ending bowl of salad?

SPEAKER_02 (35:03):
Well, I would rather have the salted caramel ice
cream, but I'm quite confidentit would make me very ill.
So I think the correct answer isthat I should have a
never-ending bowl of salad.

SPEAKER_01 (35:15):
Let's be clear.
All you have to do is snap yourfingers, and that bowl is in
front of you.
You can leave it.
You can come back to it.
You don't have to eat it all atonce.
It's just eat when you want.
There is a never-ending bowl ofsalted caramel purple door ice
cream.

SPEAKER_02 (35:28):
It's really hard.
Or actually, no, I can't.
I would be 900 pounds, Nick.
It's what I want.
It's obviously what I want.
But if I had a never-ending bowlof salad, it would remind me to
eat my vegetables daily.

SPEAKER_01 (35:41):
Would you rather I would take the ice cream?
Would you rather be eternallyallergic to peanuts or eternally
allergic to eggs?

SPEAKER_03 (35:49):
Oh shit.

SPEAKER_02 (35:50):
Peanuts, it's easier.
I would be really sad, but it'smuch easier to avoid.

SPEAKER_01 (35:55):
Yeah, eggs though, like usually you just get sick.
Peanuts, you go into amphalampicshock.

SPEAKER_02 (35:59):
Or you could just puke.

SPEAKER_01 (36:00):
And you know what you have to do?
You have to take the big needleand go, bam!

SPEAKER_02 (36:03):
Yeah, but then you're fine.
Ouch.
I mean, you can also just likeyou grow out of peanut
allergies.
Do you grow out of eggallergies?
I love eggs, okay?
I eat eggs every day, Nick.
I don't eat peanuts every day.

SPEAKER_01 (36:16):
Would you rather have a fart noise as a ringtone
or have a clown laugh as aringtone?
Clown laugh?

SPEAKER_02 (36:23):
Freak everybody out.
Do clowns creep you out?

SPEAKER_01 (36:27):
Yes.

SPEAKER_02 (36:27):
Have they always?
No.
Me neither.
I do think as I get older, I'mlike, why do you want to be a
clown?
That's kind of where I'm at.
What are you hiding from?
Yeah, the fart noise, everyonewould look at you.
I mean, everyone would look atyou either way, but clown laugh.
Because what's a clown laughsound like?
Yeah, that'd be funny.
I would do that.

(36:47):
I would do that for sure.

SPEAKER_01 (36:50):
Would you rather um never be able to say thank you
again or never be able to askfor help again?
So you ask people for favors andyou're just like, yeah, cool.
Good job.

SPEAKER_02 (37:04):
Should I say it in a different language?

SPEAKER_01 (37:06):
Nope.
No, grassias.

SPEAKER_02 (37:08):
Wait, so I couldn't say thank you or couldn't ask
for help?
Yep.

SPEAKER_01 (37:11):
I'm pretty bad at asking for help as it is, so
I'll just stick with that.
I am drowning over here, but goddamn it, I am not asking for
help.

SPEAKER_02 (37:21):
I'd like to think people can see if you need help.
Um, so I want to be able to saythank you.
I need to teach my kids theirmanners.
I couldn't live without it.

SPEAKER_01 (37:32):
I would rather not ask for help.
Because I'm the same.
I'm like, no.

SPEAKER_02 (37:36):
Yeah, don't you think people could if you're
really drowning?
I'd like to think people couldfigure that out.

SPEAKER_01 (37:40):
Sometimes people just give you a Gatorade because
you need help.

SPEAKER_02 (37:43):
Yeah, man.
That was uh for my health.
It worked great, can you tell?

SPEAKER_01 (37:47):
Would you rather go a week without brushing your
teeth or a week withoutshowering?
So brushing your teeth, I feellike that's more for you, end of
the day.
Because like the gummy buildup,like I couldn't deal with that.
Showering, you get the sludgybuildup, but like you would stop
smelling this.

SPEAKER_02 (38:05):
I would rather go a week without showering because
there are no rules that say Icannot jump in a chlorinated
pool.
That is what I would do.

SPEAKER_01 (38:11):
Smart.
I know.
I would go a week withoutbrushing my teeth because I
could get in the shower and golike this and then just let the
rainwater.
I'm gonna get a water pick, Ithink, to floss.
Random thing.
If anybody has Dr.
Lux, Dr.
Lux.
Yes, actually, ask Laura.

SPEAKER_02 (38:27):
She would love it, I'm sure.
I will text her.
Tell her, like, ask her if sheif she 100% will have a
recommendation.

SPEAKER_01 (38:32):
Yeah, please, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (38:33):
Uh okay, man.
That's exciting.

SPEAKER_01 (38:35):
Um I've decided, I've read enough things that
people have said they're like alife-changing thing.
I floss every day.
Um, and I still get mad at like,why is this in here?
And everybody's like, yeah.
And also like the whole flossingthing, it gets everywhere.
Like, I'll find flosseverywhere.
I hate it.
So yeah, I I'm interested in awater.

SPEAKER_02 (38:54):
I think it's weird that we really like force kids
to brush their teeth whenthey're young, but we don't
spend a lot of time teachingthem and reminding them to floss
when that is eternally moreimportant, is what I've learned.

SPEAKER_01 (39:03):
That is also, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (39:04):
I'm like, I said, I'm like, Laura, you need to be
in schools more.
And she's like, I know, I know.
Anyway, that's that was mydental rant.
I mean, Laura's a specialist, soreally general dentists need to
be in schools more tellingpeople how to floss.

SPEAKER_01 (39:20):
Would you rather be able to time travel or be able
to freeze time?
Oh, damn.
Um, that's it.
And you can timetable timetravel back and forth.
It's not like you're stuck.

SPEAKER_02 (39:32):
I assumed.
Oh, I can go back and forth.
Then I would time travel becauseI wouldn't need to freeze time.
Because if I felt like I missedsomething, you could rob things.
I didn't appreciate it enough.
I would just go back in time 10minutes.

SPEAKER_01 (39:44):
I have a hard time with this because I would love
to like go see Egypt as they'rebuilding pyramids.

SPEAKER_02 (39:50):
Where I'm like, I would like to go see someone
that died.

SPEAKER_01 (39:52):
I would love to go buy 10 grand of Microsoft stock
in 1982 for myself.

SPEAKER_02 (39:56):
See?
Um not what I thought of at all,but yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (39:59):
But also, if you could freeze time, like you
could go steal from banks and berich.
I don't want to do that.
That's ethically wrong.
I don't care.
I want to be rich.

SPEAKER_02 (40:08):
You would be punished when don't you know?
With great power.
Yeah, like whatever.
There you go.
Wow, Spider-Man.

SPEAKER_01 (40:17):
Spider-Man.

SPEAKER_02 (40:18):
Elliot loves Spider-Man.

SPEAKER_01 (40:19):
So, you know, I just feel like Shimona does too, and
I have no clue why.

SPEAKER_02 (40:23):
That's funny.
Um, yeah, I just feel like you'dget punished if you're doing bad
things in your time travels.
I just want to let go see peoplethat I miss.
Meh.
Eh, give me the robbing of thebank.

SPEAKER_01 (40:37):
Let's see.
What's a good one here?
Would you rather live in a worldwhere everyone ignores you or in
a world where everyone is meanto you?
I feel like that's the samething.

unknown (40:48):
I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 (40:49):
Like ignores you.
You're just like living asolitary existence.
Everybody's mean to you, theynotice you, but they're like,
Bridget, why are you wearingpolka dots today?
It's not Thursday.
Oh god.

SPEAKER_02 (41:01):
On Wednesdays, we wear pink.
Also, happy national middlechild day.
Yeah, apparently that's a thing,and I'm a middle child, kind of.
Um, I don't really know.
I I think that I would ratherhave people be mean to me and I
would just snark right back atthat.
I agree.
But being ignored would be soisolating.

SPEAKER_01 (41:20):
It's like a, you know, like when you punish a kid
by like just ignoring theirbehavior and it gets to them
eventually.
Yeah.
Yeah, being constantly ignored.
I think that'd be really hard.

SPEAKER_02 (41:28):
Yep.
COVID proved that to me.
As if I didn't already know.
Please invent cold music.
Find find me a here's a goodone.

SPEAKER_01 (41:48):
Would you rather live in the country or live in
the city?
The city.
Would you rather have a pictureperfect memory or be able to
easily learn new languages?
Easily learn new languages.
I was talking with someone, Iwas like, I gotta do a Spanish
Duolingo because I tried to talkSpanish with someone recently.
It did not go as great as Ishould.
So I need to go learn that.

SPEAKER_02 (42:07):
I I like regret every day that I didn't teach my
kids Spanish at two.
It was like my goal, if Britneylived here, I would have made
them do Spanish lessons withher.

SPEAKER_01 (42:16):
Would you rather have to make a one-minute speech
in front of 10,000 people orhave to kiss a frog in front of
100,000 people?

SPEAKER_02 (42:24):
I don't neither of those things seem that bad to
me.
I agree.
I would rather give a speech.
I love giving speeches.

SPEAKER_01 (42:30):
I think it's funny that people, I would love to
give a speech in front of 10,000people.
I would sell my crypto andsomehow.

SPEAKER_02 (42:36):
I mean, I would make some write it for me.

SPEAKER_01 (42:39):
Nick.
I just would like more money.
I would give everybody an Amazonaffiliate link.
Oh my god.
And make money.

SPEAKER_02 (42:45):
I like to give speeches.
So I guess I don't ever want tokiss a frog.
That's never been on a bucketlist of mine.

SPEAKER_01 (42:51):
I think you get to herp that way.

SPEAKER_02 (42:53):
I believe that.
Also, frogs gross me out.
We have a frog that lives likein the bushes near our house,
and the kids love him.
I think they call him froggy.
No, hoppers! They call himhoppers, which is really cute,
but it's gross.
It's like this huge frog.

SPEAKER_01 (43:07):
Um, all right, I got one last one for you.
Okay.
Would you rather the highesttemperature ever only be 50 or
the lowest temperature ever onlybe 85?

SPEAKER_02 (43:22):
Highest temperature of 50.
No question.

SPEAKER_01 (43:26):
I do disagree.
No, I agree.
I thought you would like, Imean, I thought I put the, yeah.
Wow, that's you're gonna have tostock up on iron.

SPEAKER_02 (43:34):
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna die.
But you can always make yourselfwarmer.
You can't always make yourselfcooler.

SPEAKER_01 (43:38):
Also, like eat some more liver.

SPEAKER_02 (43:40):
I'm not gonna do that.

SPEAKER_01 (43:41):
Raise those iron levels.
I hate being sweaty hot.
I hate it.
Sweaty hot is the worst.

SPEAKER_02 (43:47):
These people that are like, well, let's move to
Florida.
I'm like, yeah, if you work on abeach and you're in the water
every day, Florida's great.
But if you're just a normalexisting human being that has to
like wear business clothes inand out of the wet, gross wet.

SPEAKER_01 (44:00):
Why?
I was thinking of how ancientRomans did baths.
You know, they were big onbaths.
They did the steam baths, andbasically you sweat everything
out and you get the crust onyou.
That was great.
They scrape it off.
And we had the grill scraper.
And I looked at myself onSaturday.

SPEAKER_02 (44:14):
I'm like, I could scrape myself.

SPEAKER_01 (44:16):
I could take this and scrape myself off right now.

SPEAKER_02 (44:19):
It's so great.
That's what I always say afterevents is I could just like peel
my face.
Like I just want to like peeloff.

SPEAKER_01 (44:24):
That would be weird if you did that.
Wouldn't it be creepy?
That can you see it now?
It's like that TikTok where theladies like, if the men knew how
we shade and contour, they wouldkill us for being witches.

SPEAKER_02 (44:37):
I am like trying to see how much.

SPEAKER_01 (44:38):
I'm convinced women could probably just like tear
off their faces.

SPEAKER_02 (44:41):
Well, people on TikTok that wear that much
makeup, yes.
Not me people.
Um I'm trying really hard to notget hooked onto TikTok because
there's some stuff that Iactually love watching.
But I'm an adult, damn it.

SPEAKER_01 (44:53):
So you just watch on Instagram as a real
installation?

SPEAKER_02 (44:56):
I just watch it when it comes to Instagram.
I hate that.

SPEAKER_01 (44:59):
Anyway.
Let's talk about food.
It was a food-centric weekendfor us at DOS Fest, full of
German food, and we had theworst pretzel we've ever had.

SPEAKER_02 (45:07):
It was so bad.
So bad.
I had a better soft pretzel atQuick Trip the other day.

SPEAKER_01 (45:12):
I we had uh soft pretzel bites in the store.
Yeah.
And I was like, I mean, onceburned, twice bitten, whatever
they say, but I microwaved themfor 15 seconds, ate one.
I'm like, oh yeah, that's right.
Soft pretzels are delicious.

SPEAKER_02 (45:26):
Yes.
Uh so we thought they wereMilwaukee pretzel company
pretzels.
I still don't know.
I were assuming they were.
Um, but Maters was selling them,and it was the only hot pretzel
at the entire time.

SPEAKER_01 (45:37):
They were the giant ones.

SPEAKER_02 (45:38):
Giant ones was$16.
And I was like, you know what?
It was the end of the day.
There were four of us at thebooth.
I'm just gonna get one.
I really want one.

SPEAKER_01 (45:44):
You were doing some polling on who would eat it.
Yeah.
My favorite part of the poll isShannon looks at you like,
Bridget.

SPEAKER_02 (45:50):
We could eat this on our own.
She's not wrong.

SPEAKER_01 (45:52):
Who are you kidding, Bridget?

SPEAKER_02 (45:53):
Shannon and I really wanted a hot pretzel.
There was no regular sizepretzels available anywhere,
period.

SPEAKER_01 (45:58):
I was non-committal on it because I didn't want to
be like, yeah, I'm gonna eat allof it.
Like I just didn't want to dothat to you because I know if
your love affair I would haveeaten it all with the pretzels.

SPEAKER_02 (46:07):
So we get it.
They were like, whatever.
It was a perfectly fineexperience.
It was so, it was simultaneouslywhat?
Stale and dry.
It was like it was flavorless,overly seasoned.

SPEAKER_01 (46:20):
It was everything at once horror.

SPEAKER_02 (46:22):
Yes, like so normally.
Milwaukee Pretzel Companypretzels are crispy on the
outside, like a crisp, thinlayer and perfectly fluffy on
the inside.
But this was sitting in a hotel.

SPEAKER_01 (46:31):
Where they're technically dense and fluffy,
where it's like all of the likepretzel dough that you want, but
they're it's enough pull thatit's not like excuse me while I
chug a thing of water, you know.

SPEAKER_02 (46:41):
And they're super kind people, like to the point
where I feel like I need to tellthem because when you order a
Milwaukee Pretzel Companypretzel, like when you get it at
a grocery store or whatever, orif you order it to be shipped to
your house, it tells you veryspecifically how to cook it.
Yes, it's and easy.
They care deeply about it.
Maters did not do it justice,and then they held it in a hot
box, which I understand, butlike I wouldn't in a hot box
shouldn't do what happened tothis pretzel.

(47:02):
So it must have been in thereforever.
And I I would have rather waitedthe five minutes.
I mean, it takes like fiveminutes to cook those pretzels.
I would have rather waited for16 months.

SPEAKER_01 (47:12):
And not like right when the festival opened, like
an hour in, because I know howthis goes.
Because you know what?
We also serve brats from theprevious day.
So like I know how this goes,it's fine, but like it was a bad
batch of pretzels.
So I went over to them to getanother one, and I was offered a
pretzel from the day before, andthey didn't take my credit card
because blah blah blah.
So we never got a good pretzel,and it was bullshit.

SPEAKER_02 (47:34):
So I went a quick trip the next day.

SPEAKER_01 (47:36):
I was so mad.

SPEAKER_02 (47:37):
Yeah, it was really sad.
Uh, we should have ordered one,damn it.
Uh, so not a pretzel was thebest thing to get.
Not a pretzel.

SPEAKER_01 (47:44):
Uh, I did really enjoy the donuts that we got.
Yeah, nice.
Uh, after I didn't get thepretzel, I said, after this, I'm
getting donuts.
There was a donut, little minidonut hole tossed in way too
much cinnamon sugar.
Keep up the good work, guys.

SPEAKER_02 (47:57):
It was like that was perfect.

SPEAKER_01 (47:58):
Uh, those were delicious.
So good.
Uh, how did Tyler like his Rubenrolls from maters?

SPEAKER_02 (48:03):
Oh, good.
He ate them over the course oftwo meals.

SPEAKER_01 (48:05):
Re-reheat them in the air fryer so they're not
soggy.
I went to get some spatzel fromuh fiddlesticks.
I enjoyed that.
I like the red cabbage andspatzel.
That was nice.

SPEAKER_02 (48:14):
Didn't I just wanted a fucking pretzel?

SPEAKER_01 (48:16):
And our brats were very good.

SPEAKER_02 (48:17):
I had more brats that weekend than I ever do.
But yeah, our brats, our baconand beer-fried brats were
awesome.
But I um am here to tell youabout my salads because I knew
the salads were excellent.
My body was gonna need avegetable because I I know my
body and I know what it does forthe body.

SPEAKER_01 (48:31):
And the roll didn't count as a No.

SPEAKER_02 (48:34):
I know I need protein.
I know I need like some balancehere.
So I packed some amazing,delicious salads this week to
give myself some cred.
I did get a salad cookbook fromthe library.
So second product, rec, saladfreak from the Lake Geneva
Library, because I love a goodsalad.
Like, so just fancy it up alittle and make yourself a good
salad.

SPEAKER_01 (48:54):
According to um WebMD, you need carbohydrates,
fat, and protein.
Those are the threemacronutrients you can.
Oh, to not pass out?
That's what you need.

SPEAKER_02 (49:04):
Well, I ate a plain hot dog bun.
So that counted.

SPEAKER_01 (49:09):
You know what I did screw up that I should have done
for the um for the hot bug hotdog bun for you?
I should have just fried it foryou quick on the hot top so
you'd have like some croutons.

SPEAKER_02 (49:18):
Yeah, Nick, you screwed that up.
Oh man.
I brought hard-boiled eggs.

SPEAKER_01 (49:21):
See, I can't live without my eggs.
Uh I did make breakfast onemorning on the we'd used the
blackstone.
I should have recommended that.
It was really good.
I didn't make breakfast for usbecause breakfast without eggs,
everybody.

SPEAKER_02 (49:33):
Well, I offered to make you eggs.
I know.

SPEAKER_01 (49:35):
I know, but I You said no.
You said I already have eggs.

SPEAKER_02 (49:37):
I already packed my eggs, man.
I can't eat ten eggs a day.
That's bad for my cholesterol.
Is it?
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (49:42):
Oh, I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_02 (49:43):
Oh, yeah.
I don't have usually more thanlike two or three eggs a day.
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (49:47):
My kids could eat like seven.
I'm like, no, you cannot dothat.
Well, Gaston ate three dozeneggs a day.
Now he's as strong as not.

SPEAKER_02 (49:53):
Just the egg yellows that are bad.

SPEAKER_01 (49:56):
No one.
More songs for you.
Kills like Gaston.
And I want to go to Disney andget a picture with Gaston.
I have extraordinary.
Did you think their singing wasdone?
Nobody stops like Gaston.
There's a really inappropriateversion of that song that's hard

(50:17):
for me not to sing.
Like extraordinarilyinappropriate.
It's funny.

SPEAKER_02 (50:21):
I don't like that part in the movie because
Gaston's a dick.

SPEAKER_01 (50:24):
Yeah, and the kids learn if you're a dick, you're
gonna get thrown off a balconyto your death by beats.

SPEAKER_02 (50:29):
They don't learn that.
They learn like, look at thisguy's partying with his friends
in a bar.

SPEAKER_01 (50:32):
I mean, you do kind of learn like he's partying in a
bar, the hotties are all overhim.
Yeah.
You're gonna get some.
Like, be a jerk, eat three dozeneggs a day, and you'll just be
swimming in the bar flies.
Think that women want you nomatter what.
Good job, Disney.
I mean, it is true.
I have been to bars.

SPEAKER_02 (50:50):

She already knows that.
Oh my god.
My little baby girl, whatevershe wants.
