    #231 - Stealing Olives, Paralympic Drama, & The Al Roker Billboard

    Happy March 9th! (Or whatever day it is, because time is a construct). We kick off the episode by discussing our nighttime routines. Mike shares how he and Sam wind down with Wordle and Connections, while trying to read The Chronicles of Narnia instead of endlessly scrolling TikTok. We also preview an upcoming boys' ski trip where Mike and Dan will try to survive the slopes before the spring weather and Boston Marathon season officially take over. Then, we dive into the high-stakes anxiety of grocery shopping. Erin’s fear of doing the "wrong thing" reached new heights when she accidentally left a gourmet jar of olives in her reusable bag. In our massive Winter Paralympics preview, we discuss the badass sport of biathlon (they ski with guns on their backs!), para snowboard drama with Brenna Huckaby. We also check in with our favorite "Dark Horse Dani" (Dani Aravich), who sends us an update from the Italian Dolomites about infuriating the locals by eating daily gelato in the winter just to gain weight for her races. Finally, we break down a bizarre niche internet rabbit hole: a TikTok creator who hires entertainers—like magicians, clowns, and a Tom Cruise impersonator—to perform exclusively for him in his empty house, which recently resulted in an accidental therapy session with a motivational speaker. We wrap it all up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" story about a mystery fan putting up a giant billboard dedicated to Al Roker, and Al's delightfully coy reaction to his very own monument.

    #230 - The Most Difficult Sports, Bathroom Hover, Reality TV Powerpoint

    Happy National Get Over It Day! (Actually it's not get over it day and we totally messed this up). We kick off the episode by testing out our new "professional" green screen setup, avoiding "shrimp-backing" in our chairs. Erin recaps a rare date night at a microbrewery where Dan became best friends with random strangers. In fitness news, Erin gives an update on her Craig Conover 10K training—surviving a brutal, side-stitch-inducing 3-mile run—and her ongoing quest to do one pull up. She also shares her strategy of making a literal PowerPoint presentation to teach her reality TV hating friends about Southern Charm, and expresses her anxiety over an upcoming Adidas brand trip (fingers crossed for a "donut and hiking" group). Then, we dive into a massive Olympics and sports recap. We demand a scoring bonus for figure skater Amber Glenn after she won gold while on her period, debate ESPN's list of the most difficult sports (putting basketball over gymnastics is a crime). We also call out NBC for allegedly paying Snoop Dogg $500,000 a day, review the wildest Olympic drama (from the Mark Kennedy curling scandal to a biathlete confessing to infidelity on live TV), and praise Eileen Gu for flawlessly shutting down a dumb reporter's question. Plus, we discuss a corporate brand that blatantly copied Erin’s unhinged purple tank top and yellow sweatband look for a TV commercial. Finally, we cover a wild story about a British Airways flight crew who had to be grounded after accidentally hallucinating on passenger-gifted THC gummy bears, and we call out Logan Paul's shady $16.5 million Pokémon card sale after shutting down the fractional NFT app that funded it. We wrap things up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" story about a girl who corralled dozens of strangers—including pilots and flight attendants—at an airport baggage claim to give her friend Morgan the ultimate welcome home.

    #229 - Curling Cheating Scandal, "Quad God" Heartbreak, & A Marathon in Denim

    Happy National Curling is Cool Day! We celebrate the holiday with a special in person episode from Mike’s basement, kicking things off with a major update on the Craig Conover 10K challenge: the race has been officially moved to April 7th to allow for more training (and fundraising). Erin gives a fitness update involving a "hit run" and her struggle to do pull ups while wearing heavy snow boots. We then dive into a massive Olympic recap, discussing the heartbreak of "Quad God" Ilia Malinin and the wild curling cheating scandal involving Canada, Sweden, and a "hidden" camera. We analyze the absurdity of "Doubles Luge" (and propose a "Triple Stack" version), demand the immediate return of Ski Ballet, and review the fascinating day jobs of Olympians -- -- from a maple syrup shop worker to a snowboarder who is a concrete pourer. We also shout out the 50 year old personal injury attorney who subbed in for the curling team. In other sports news, we break down the beef between Logan Paul and Tom Brady, discuss the record breaking $31 million NASCAR purse, and marvel at the man who ran the Austin Marathon wearing full denim jeans and a belt. We also explain the UK phenomenon of the "Binfluencer"—the neighbor who signals which trash bin to put out—and wrap up with a heartwarming "No Bad News" story about United Airlines employees donating 15,000 Pokémon cards to a little boy who lost his binder.

    #228 - Ski Jumper Cheating, Crying on the Local News & A Chef Boyardee Racecar

    Happy National Do a Grouch a Favor Day! We kick off the episode with a recap of Erin’s chaotic appearance on the local WFMZ news, where she accidentally crashed a tearful anchor goodbye while wearing a $368 Team USA Ralph Lauren sweater and "hard pants." Bo was so impressed he offered to cover the upcoming Craig Conover 10K race from a news van. Speaking of the 10K, we review some diabolical listener suggestions for the loser's punishment—from taking the SATs to running from Deputy Dog Radar in a bite suit. Then we dive into a massive Winter Olympics recap. We review the Milan Opening Ceremony and passionately defend Lindsey Vonn from the haters after her devastating crash. We also celebrate our official "Swiffer Curling" manifestation coming true for Chris Plys, debate whether the Snoop Dogg commentary gimmick is getting tired (should Elmo or Gordon Ramsay replace him?), and praise Team USA's tailored outfits alongside Mongolia’s effortlessly "dripped out" uniforms. We also uncover the most insane sports cheating scandal of the year: male ski jumpers injecting their private parts with hyaluronic acid to increase their suit's aerodynamic airtime. In other sports news, we celebrate Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s iconic Chef Boyardee NASCAR wrap and merch drop, while Erin spirals over an offer to caddy at a professional PGA tour event, fearing a sweaty, club dropping disaster. Finally, we time travel to recap a mostly boring Super Bowl. We complain about the endless pharmaceutical and crypto ads, but applaud 50 Cent’s incredibly petty DoorDash commercial taking shots at Diddy. We also review Bad Bunny’s halftime show, praising the stunning set design, Puerto Rican cultural pride, and the emotional moment he handed a Grammy to his younger self. We wrap it all up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" story about a Japanese volleyball player who hit a sideline worker with a ball and practically slid across the court on his belly to profusely apologize.

    #227 - Skyscraper Nightmare, $100 Million Gift, Penguin With No Brakes

    Happy National Clean Out Your Computer Day! We start the episode by reflecting on the trauma of losing digital files and Erin’s current state of being on her "proverbial deathbed" with a mystery illness (shoutout to Pedialyte and Motrin). We recap the recent snowstorm, which featured Dan hitching a ride on a snowmobile to ski down a neighbor’s hill, a MacGyver-style ski boot repair using a leather belt, and the stark contrast between our silent icy roads and the "vibey" snow day parties at the Philadelphia Art Museum. In pop culture and documentaries, we discuss the anxiety-inducing Netflix livestream of a Alex Honnold free climbing the Taipei 101 skyscraper and review the Brian Johnson anti-aging documentary, debating whether living forever is worth eating "veggie mush" every single day. We also dive into the "New England Patriots Catering Menu" TikTok that revealed the insane amount of food available to players, from omelet stations to endless tables of silver warmers. Finally, we cover a massive wave of Olympic news: the "Good Billionaire Boy" Ross Stevens donating $100 million to support Team USA athletes, Lindsey Vonn’s heartbreaking crash just a week before the games, and some mind-blowing stats about the Opening Ceremony in Milan. We also share skeleton racer Mystique Ro’s hilarious description of her sport as a "penguin with no brakes," break down Sha’carri Richardson’s arrest for speeding, and issue a simple demand: Free Darius.

    #226 - Snowstorm Survival Guide, Tennis Fight, & Fast Food Lawsuits

    Happy Groundhog Day! We kick off the episode by bracing ourselves for a "colossal" impending snowstorm. We discuss the chaos of grocery store panic buying (shoutout to the Delco guy who just wanted Pepsi), Mike's efforts to fix a generator, and Erin's irrational fear of trees "exploding" from the cold. In pop culture, Mike watches the pilot episodes of Severance and Pluribus, explain why Erin refuses to watch Stranger Things, and recount the secondhand embarrassment of filming a content ad while her entire family is trapped in the house. We also break down the viral success of the "Dr. Pepper is Good and Nice" TikTok lady, debating whether her estimated $10k-$50k payout was enough for a national TV spot. We then dive into the "tea" of the tennis world, discussing the drama between Naomi Osaka and her opponent (who gave her an "evil" look), involving a mid-match complaint to the umpire about "hindrance" screams and the hilarity of on-court tattle-telling. We also provide updates on the Craig Conover 10K challenge, celebrate Paralympian Dani Aravich’s "A-List" status, and reveal the shocking $368 price tag of the Team USA closing ceremony sweater. Finally, we close the loop on years of fast-food lawsuits—revealing which brands paid out millions (GrubHub, Poppi, Beyond Meat) and which ones got away with "puffery" (McDonald's, Wendy's). To wrap up, we share some book recommendations (Anxious People, The Many Lives of Mama Love) and end with a wholesome "No Bad News" story about a man named Biggie Dave who posted about his free birthday cake on Threads and received thousands of replies.

    #225 - How to Join Team USA, $60 Million Broken Jaw, Top 5 Hardest Marathons

    Happy National Green Juice Day! We start by admitting we'd rather buy the bottle than deal with the "pulp mess" of making it ourselves. We recap a chaotic snowy weekend where Erin and Dan drove two hours for Sam's birthday party, Erin got "overcooked" on wine while ruining a video game, and Dan achieved neighborhood legend status by plowing everyone’s driveways. We also share a hilarious struggle with a telepresence robot intended to help Grandma connect with the kids which resulted in the robot repeatedly ramming into walls. In sports, we discuss whether $60 million is worth Jake Paul’s broken jaw and pivot our NFL allegiance to the "Seahawk Birds" after the Eagles' elimination (and potential rigging). We analyze the terrifying video of a US bobsledder left to complete a run solo, discover how "remotely athletic" people can join the 2028 Olympic Handball team, and learn where the hundreds of "Toothless" dragon stuffies thrown onto the ice for figure skaters actually go. We then run through the top five hardest marathons in the world (Antarctica? No thanks), while Erin updates us on her "night owl" training schedule for the Craig Conover challenge. We dive into legal drama, covering the lawsuit claiming the McRib has no actual ribs and the inspiring victory of a local shop owner who defeated a trademark claim over the phrase "Silly Goose on the Loose." Finally, we explain the 1986 origin of the little arrow on your gas gauge and end with a heartwarming "No Bad No Sad" story about a Pennsylvania principal who built a culture of trust through high fives and secret handshakes.

    #224 - Convo with Craig Conover, America's New Team, & New Segment Alert

    10k Donation Link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/craig-and-erins-10k-race-fundraiser Happy National Elementary School Teacher Day! We kick off this packed episode with a major announcement: Erin has been officially challenged to a 10K race by Southern Charm star Craig Conover. We share the audio from their planning call, where Craig breaks down his "Special Forces" training background, while we negotiate handicaps, specifically, forcing him to chug "Gatorade Milk" to level the playing field. We also discuss the charities we are competing for and Erin shares her own training rollercoaster, featuring a disastrous two-mile run followed by a redemption run fueled by Love Is Blind. In running news, we discuss the Disney Marathon, the cool "Rally" app that lets you leave audio notes at mile markers, and Kelly K. Roberts' inspiring attitude after missing her Boston Qualifier goal. We then pivot to NFL news, celebrating the Eagles officially replacing the Cowboys as "America's Team" (according to view counts), mourning the firing of Mike McDaniel (and hoping he comes to Philly), and venting about the Kelce brothers getting the curling opportunities we deserve. We also critique the Winter Olympics, questioning why figure skating music still sounds like it's coming from a 1965 megaphone and demanding less sportsmanship and more drama from the skaters. Finally, we debut a new segment explaining niche internet lore, breaking down the viral saga of the fallen Topgolf net, "Logan's Christmas Party," and why the entire internet is mad at a guy named Tony. "Tea Time" investigates a suspicious tank top scandal involving influencer Tara's World and a nurse who might not exist, and we wrap up with a wholesome "No Bad News" story about Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith performing a specific touchdown dance requested by his toddler.
