    #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.
