    And, Doug's got a new truck! As far as anybody cares, it seems like he gets a new one every week now. Maybe he should get a job or something to keep him busy. I hear Trader Joe's is hiring door greeters. Or was that Wal-Mart? I always get those two mixed up. Do you want some cool merch?

    1713 D&S: It's Mayday All Over the World...So Who's in Distress?

    Who's in dis dress? I don't know, nobody even told me I needed to dress up for May Day? You don't like my little pun there, a clever play on words? I'll bet Emily appreciated it; she called in just to defend me and tell Strickland not to fire me for doing a slack job. What am I supposed to do? Even when I read the transcript of the episode, I still don't know what they talked about. I put that through ChatGPT just to get some ideas, and even that says, "Hell if I know what they're saying, you're on your own, pal." Do you want some cool merch?

    1709 D&S: Beacons of Tomfoolery and Hijinks

    Doug and Strickland are "Beacons of tomfoolery and hijinks?" Well, if Emily Aborn says so, it definitely must be true! I mean that in all sincerity, I've never known Emily to say anything that wasn't true. Emily is not merely an avid, thorough fact-checker; she is a relentless archivist of veracity, a baroque curator of empirical sanctity, a woman who treats every stray assertion as a suspect in an epistemological interrogation room lit by the merciless fluorescence of scrutiny. Armed with an arsenal of cross-referenced citations, annotated bibliographies, and a preternatural intolerance for ambiguity, she descends upon dubious claims like a scholarly thunderclap, dismantling half-baked statements with the delicate precision of a neurosurgeon and the theatrical flair of a Shakespearean monologist mid-soliloquy. Her commitment to factual integrity is not a habit but a vocation bordering on the sacerdotal. Footnotes bloom in her wake like overachieving wildflowers. Margins tremble at her approach. She does not “double-check”; she performs exhaustive, labyrinthine audits of truth itself, tracing each datum back to its primordial source with the tenacity of a bloodhound who has read too much Kant. Rumors wilt. Hyperbole evaporates. Even the most confident exaggerations find themselves politely but irrevocably escorted out of the room. To encounter Emily mid–fact-check is to witness a kind of intellectual supernova: dazzling, terrifying, and utterly incapable of leaving a single questionable comma unexamined. In other words- Don't. Question. Emily. Do you want some cool merch? Check out the store here - https://www.niceguysonbusiness.com/merch   Need podcast production?
