    76. SPECIAL SEGMENT EPISODE - Crazy Inventions | guest Marty from NJ

    We're breaking from the norm this week. Instead of our usual Discretions format, this special episode is all Rants: Eric and Nick unfiltered, pitching the business ideas they can't stop thinking about. On the rant list: [It's Not Cold]: Buy old ice cream trucks off Craigslist and turn them into rolling fresh-produce and fresh-bread trucks.[Meats in Motion]: A deli truck that comes to you. "We'll meet you outside." Pre-sliced or sliced by hand on the truck? The debate gets heated.[Doggie Bag on Wheels]: Why are food trucks only for humans? A treat truck for your dog.[Hole in One… or Close To It]: A tee-box camera at mini golf that sells you the clip of your big shot. Nick's not buying it, but pickleball blew up, so why not mini golf?Plus a Mark Cuban pun you won't be able to unhear. Regular Discretions returns next week! Thanks for listening! Rate us five stars, send us your stupid questions, and catch us Wednesday nights at 10PM EST.

    72. discretionary college food | guest Ian from FL

    Nick and Eric kick off another unpredictable episode of Discretions with guest Ian dialing in from Florida. The show starts innocently enough — talking about weather, moss, and power-washing roofs — before spiraling into one of the strangest entrepreneurial brainstorms ever: mail delivery tubes in your home. From there, it's a wild ride through odd inventions, oversized AirPods from TikTok, and Eric's questionable purchasing habits. Things shift when Ian fields the night's "Secret Question," giving an unexpectedly deep reflection on legacy, purpose, and staying true to yourself. That moment of sincerity lasts all of thirty seconds before Eric confesses to dropping stink bombs at county fairs and the crew debates their favorite (and most regrettable) college foods — from Chick-fil-A to CC Peppers cheeseburger subs to mystery wings during "pitcher wars." The result? Equal parts nostalgia, nonsense, and genius-level absurdity. Highlights: Ian's intro from Florida: "There are no waves in Tampa." Eric's mail-tube invention and "mailbox on a swivel." The $5 TikTok AirPod fiasco. The "Secret Question" on legacy and living authentically. Eric's life advice: "Act like a thin person." A deep dive into college food, from Chick-fil-A swipes to cheesesteak subs. The legendary CC Peppers and the freshman 15 confession. Pitcher wars, wings, and jukebox memories.

    71. discretionary summer camp | guest Juliette from NJ

    Summary: In this summer-themed episode, Nick and Eric welcome back a familiar guest, Juliet — now all grown up and fresh off a three-week sleepaway-camp adventure in New Jersey. The conversation veers between nostalgia, absurd humor, and camp-life confessions. From the mystery of "bug juice" to pooter-tooters, bunk-bed politics, and forbidden phones, the trio explores what makes modern camp life tick. Eric reminisces about his days as a camp director (and legendary prankster), while Nick steers the discussion toward camp cuisine, canteen economics, and the elusive gummy sharks. The result is part reunion, part roast, and completely Discretions. Highlights: Juliet's first time at sleepaway camp and what's changed since Eric's counselor days. The "reverse camp" business idea — kids stay, parents visit. Why every cabin needs a fan, a pillow, and apparently, a pooter-tooter. Nick's obsession with camp food, bread programs, and blue-tongued gummy sharks. Eric's confession: the long-pee prank that became camp legend. A debate on whether Kool-Aid still exists (spoiler: it might). Closing thoughts on independence, camp humor, and missing tech-free simplicity. Tone: Playful, nostalgic, and just the right amount of ridiculous — classic Discretions.

    69. discretionary explosive diarrhea | guest Daryl from CA

    🚨 Explicit Content Warning 🚨 This episode includes adult language, graphic descriptions of gastrointestinal events, and questionable life choices. Listener discretion is not just advised—it's mandatory. Welcome back to The Discretions Podcast, where common sense goes to die and poop stories reign supreme. This week, Nick and Eric are joined by returning guest and chaos agent Daryl, who shows up after being snowed in with a fresh supply of trauma and comedy. What starts as a harmless chat about first jobs quickly derails into: Breath strip roulette: Would you eat one off the ground? Daryl did. Escalar regret: Eric serves up a fish that doubles as a laxative. Hilarity (and horror) ensues. Vegas romance gone wrong: A love story involving oysters, food poisoning, and a porcelain proposal. Top Gun soundtrack throwbacks: Because everything's better with "Danger Zone." Hot Tub Time Machine vs. Swingers vs. CKY videos: The pop culture debate no one asked for. And of course… diarrhea stories. So many. So vivid. So unavoidable. If you're easily offended, prone to giggling at bodily functions, or eating while listening—consider this your final warning. 🔗 Connect With Us 📩 Got a story of your own?
