    #237 - The Enhanced Games CEO Interview, Flip Flop Hiking, & Kelce Fatigue?

    Happy National Boston Marathon Day! We kick off the episode with some very realistic running motivation, reminding everyone that making it to the start line with your bodily fluids sorted out is half the battle, and taking a trip to the medical tent just means you get a cooler story. We recount Erin’s brutal weekend "marathon" hike up Pulpit Rock, which featured Dan hiking in flip flops and eventually having to shove a 40 pound, heavily breathing Bucky the pug into his backpack. Erin also gives a week two update on her "Pull-Up Revolution," celebrating the awakening of her "sleeper cell muscles". Erin then spirals over her invite to the Dick's Sporting Goods Varsity Team brand trip in Tampa, specifically stressing over how to dress "camera ready" without looking like she consulted ChatPPP for fashion advice. In niche internet and pop culture news, we cover the genius behind the "Two Cute Labs" (Stink and Bink) who went viral for selling "your ad here" space on their backs. We also discuss the growing "Jason Kelce fatigue" after his appearance at The Masters frustrated traditionalists, and debate the so called decorum decline involving college bros flipping off cameras outside Augusta National. In sports, we break down two disqualifications: Matt Choi getting DQ'd from an Ironman for drafting (and missing the penalty tent because he skipped orientation), and the shocking overturning of a Pokémon Go Regional Championship simply because the winner put his headphones down too forcefully. We then present our very serious, hard hitting journalism segment: an interview with Max Martin, the CEO of the Enhanced Games! We debrief our chat with him, discussing the $1 million world record prizes, the fascinating concept of building a digital first stadium in just four weeks, and how athletes are utilizing FDA approved testing and doctors to compete safely. Finally, we wrap up with a heartwarming "No Bad, No Sad" story about King Randall’s program, where he takes young men to the grocery store to teach them essential life skills like picking produce, doing laundry, and speaking with eye contact.

    #236 - Reality Star vs Struggle Runner - 10K Charity Race Day!

    Happy Big 10K Race Day! We kick off this massive episode live from Hawk Mountain B&B, where we are joined by Channel 69 News reporter Bo Koltnow and his cameraman Andy to document the highly anticipated 10K charity race between Erin and Southern Charm's Craig Conover. We break down all the chaotic pre-race logistics, including Craig deciding to change the head start rules at the last minute to a synchronized start so we could calculate the 27-minute handicap at the end. We also recount Erin fueling up on a single sugar cookie and Nerd Gummy Clusters , and the confusing presence of an active tree shredder truck in the middle of a treeless farm field. Despite facing brutal 30 degree winds, hills, and constant local traffic, Erin pushed through to claim the ultimate victory, running through a makeshift toilet paper finish line! Because Craig lost, he had to face the ultimate punishment: taking a freezing plunge into the local river, while reading an letter written by the Friend Of Podcast (  ⁨@friendofpodcast⁩  ). We reveal how he secretly plotted to buy his way out of the plunge by offering a donation instead, but ultimately put on a bathing suit and took the icy dip. We also ask Craig's assistant Jack some questions about working for Craig's "beautiful mind". Post race, we recap the delicious chicken shawarma dinner made by Dan’s mom, our toxic habit of immediately retreating to a dark room to edit footage for hours instead of relaxing, and a heated argument with Craig over whether maple syrup originated in Canada or Switzerland. We also share a massive announcement: we are officially hosting a live show at the Boston Marathon Fan Fest in the busiest Sunday slot, right after Meb! Finally, we record a cozy "fireside chat" where we discuss the absolute necessity of the B&B finally installing Starlink internet, especially after a terrifying incident where a 911 call for a chimney fire dropped due to zero cell service. Erin gives an update on her grueling "Pull Up Revolution", and shares the profound emotional trauma of having to "thin" (a.k.a. rip out and execute) the weaker seedling plants in his indoor hydroponic garden.

    #235 - 2 Day London Marathon,Pokemon Go's Secret AI,We Are Law

    Happy National Pajama Day! We kick off the episode by discussing the terror of a (thankfully fake) article about US airports banning pajamas, which is great news since Erin fully traveled to Puerto Rico in her PJs. We chat about United Airlines introducing "relax rows" that turn into couches, Erin’s grueling three-hour book editing meetings, and her frustration over getting tension headaches every time she tries to practice push ups for her pull up journey. We also give a massive update on the Craig Conover 10K challenge, the race is officially tomorrow! Erin shares her Puerto Rico vacation workouts and her plan to rely on the Galloway method, while we debate forcing Craig to wear a "period cramp simulator" to slow him down. Speaking of period simulators, we review a viral video of a guy who ran 5 miles while continuously turning up a muscle stimulator to simulate period cramps, with his form completely falling apart by the end. In other news, our highly anticipated interview with the CEO of the Enhanced Games had to be rescheduled due to him losing his voice, despite our intense SEC.gov journalism prep. We also discuss Michael Johnson returning his $500,000 payment to help refund athletes for Grand Slam Track (and boldly request some free soda to cover the event in 2027). For "Tea Time," we dive into the messy controversy surrounding pro runner Emma Bates, who claimed her fuel sponsor UCAN dropped her when she got pregnant, while UCAN claims she rejected a new contract before the pregnancy. In other running news, we discuss the wild plans to turn the 2027 London Marathon into a two day event with 100,000 runners. We then cover a massive block of lawsuits: Live Nation executives getting exposed in leaked texts calling fans "stupid," a 20-year-old winning $6 million from Meta for social media addiction, a German tourist suing a NYC taco shop over "incapacitating" spicy salsa, and David's Protein Bars being sued for allegedly hiding 400% more fat than the label claims. Plus, Mike gets a text mid episode from his black market Chick-fil-A dealer offering expiring breakfast biscuits. Finally, we hit some niche internet trends: a "Would You Rather" involving a password remembering lizard vs. a gift giving raccoon, a Chinese hot pot restaurant robot going rogue and smashing dishes, and the revelation that Pokémon Go players unknowingly trained the AI maps now used by delivery robots. We wrap up with Erin’s sneaky cottage cheese protein smoothie hack, survive a mid recording spider attack, and share a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" story about dogs conducting a full orchestra with the wags of their tails.

    #234 - Hobbies Are Dangerous, Strava Warship, & Canceled Bachelorette Drama

    Happy National Grass is Always Browner on the Other Side of the Fence Day! We kick things off by admitting we are dropping a lot of balls lately. We share an update on the impending Craig Conover 10K challenge (which is only a week away and causing Erin severe anxiety), tease our upcoming interview with the CEO of the Enhanced Games, and excitedly announce that we might be doing a live podcast from the Fan Zone at the Boston Marathon! (still unsure if this is happening) Erin then recaps her stressful airport experience heading to Puerto Rico, where a relaxing visit to the lounge turned into a full blown panic sprint across terminals. We also share Dan's Puerto Rico adventure where he called the Coast Guard to rescue missing kite surfers, only to end up chatting about helicopters with a maintenance worker. The ultimate lesson learned? Having hobbies will just make you "go dead." We also settle the debate on the difference between a modem and a router. In sports news, we celebrate the US Sled Hockey team securing the "Golden Hat Trick" with an epic behind the back pass from Brody, and shout out our friend Trey Cunningham for winning bronze at the Indoor World Track and Field Championships. We then critique the 2026 Paris Marathon's plan to go completely bottle free, which seemingly involves waterboarding runners with high powered hoses. Finally, we cover a massive wave of pop culture and internet news. We honor the "passing" of Chuck Norris by reading classic memes, break down the shocking cancellation of The Bachelorette (featuring Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul) just days before airing, and expose a French military officer who leaked a warship's location via a Strava run. For "How About We Just Die," we discuss the horrifying viral video of a guy who cooked his steaks with plastic decorative garland for six months thinking it was fresh rosemary. We wrap it all up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" about an entire high school boys' basketball team showing up to cheer on their biggest fans: a local 4th grade team.

    #233 - Rethink Sports, "Popcorn Reading" Trauma, & Restaurant Pickle Conspiracy

    Happy National Puppy Day! We kick things off with Erin absolutely spiraling from sleep deprivation, the Daylight Saving Time change, and the stress of editing 360 camera footage from her Adidas brand trip while frantically packing for Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, Mike shares a wild update from a recent card show where his friend flipped a box of Japanese Pokémon cards for an insane amount in cold, hard cash. We also drop some massive podcast news: we officially secured media passes to the Microsoft Excel World Championships in Las Vegas (and potentially the Enhanced Games)! Between celebrating our upcoming media credentials and dreaming of getting cast on The Traitors or The Price is Right, we debate the childhood trauma of "popcorn reading" versus "when the spirit moves you," and try to uncover the deep conspiracy behind why restaurant pickles taste infinitely better than the ones from the grocery store. In sports and pop culture, we investigate a major theft where a pro bowler had 17 custom bowling balls stolen right off his porch. We celebrate Sephora's landmark partnership with F1 Academy driver Natalia Granada, and expose Jake Paul for allegedly wearing a fake "lace-front" beard to hide the scars from his recent jaw surgery. We also touch on Logan Paul’s flag football marketing beef with Tom Brady. We then revisit the infamous fishing tournament scandal where a competitor was caught stuffing lead weights into his catch and now faces felony charges (which somehow leads us into a rant about inflation and housing prices). We break down the chaotic ending of the LA Marathon where the leader was accidentally directed off course, allowing a high school coach to snatch the win—prompting us to officially coin our new podcast slogan: "Rethink Sports." We also explain the science behind why e-sports pros sit two inches away from their monitors, and finally wrap up with a heartwarming "No Bad, No Sad" story about an entire lacrosse team showing up in full practice gear to passionately cheer on their teammate at a spelling bee.

    #232 - Ski Lift Disaster, 2026 Paralympics, & CEO Challenges

    Happy National Act Happy Day! We kick off the episode with Erin running on fumes after arriving home at 2 AM from a chaotic travel day, while Mike recaps his icy East Coast ski trip with Dan. Mike shares the struggles of renting gear, surviving the bunny hill, and a terrifying ski lift dismount where he was almost folded in half. Erin then gives a full debrief of her luxurious, over the top Adidas brand trip in Santa Monica. From walking into pitch black soundstages to accidentally sitting on someone else's display shoes and reintroducing herself to the same executive three times. Erin also details the stress of discovering the "slow" group run pace was a 10 minute mile. In sports, Erin goes on a passionate rant about the Paralympic coverage, calling out NBC for airing Alpine Skiing without any commentators or context, and exposing the disappointing changes made to the snowboarding course. We also discuss the hilarious internet trend demanding CEOs use their own products—like forcing the Ticketmaster CEO to buy pre-sale tickets or the Kleenex CEO to get the first tissue out of the box. For "Tea Time", we unpack the messy drama surrounding bodybuilder Malibu Fit Max, who lied to stop internet trolls. We wrap things up by questioning why celebrities are suddenly buying underground doomsday bunkers, a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" featuring toddlers whispering voiceovers for their dad's bakery, and Erin's ongoing struggle to finish The Alchemist.

    #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.
