  • 70. When Convenience Starts Flying Over Your House: The Walmart And Amazon Drone Delivery Battle, And More
    Apr 20 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We go from a weird snake encounter in the yard to a very real question about what we’re inviting into our neighborhoods with delivery drones. We break down Walmart and Amazon’s drone plans, then argue about speed, broken packages, privacy, and whether convenience is costing us jobs.
    • A snake photo that looks fake but isn’t
    • Cold-weather banter and what we call headwear
    • Crock pot recipes that taste better than they look
    • Why video beats photos for “proof”
    • Walmart drone delivery scale and what Wing is
    • Amazon Prime Air goals plus limits like payload and radius
    • Weather, noise, and public support for drones near homes
    • Grocery fulfillment experiences and why trust matters
    • Reports of drones dropping packages and damaging items
    • Privacy worries, flight paths, and how conspiracy theories spread
    • Costs per delivery, who pays, and what automation replaces

  • 68. The Toy Inside My Cereal Box, Pepsi's Where's My Jet Campaign, Global Words Spoken Each Day, Ear Buds, And More
    Apr 9 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We start with a simple question about cereal and end up tracing how cereal companies turned breakfast into a treasure hunt with prizes, box tops, and long waits by the mailbox. Then we jump from classic promotions to a wild Pepsi Points court case and a surprisingly mind-bending estimate of how many spoken words vanish every day.
    • chasing cereal box toys more than the cereal
    • favorite cereals, sugar habits, and why some go soggy fast
    • a practical oatmeal packet measuring trick
    • how proof of purchase and mail-in premiums built brand loyalty
    • Kellogg’s early promotions and Cracker Jack prize culture
    • why in-box toys faded out due to safety, cost, and plastic concerns
    • Pepsi Points and the “Where’s My Jet?” lawsuit
    • estimating roughly 90 to 130 trillion spoken words per day worldwide
    If you will give us a rating, give us a five-star rating wherever you’re listening to this at. It sure does help the show grow.

    Apr 6 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We jump from Easter weekend life to the stuff we can’t stop watching, cooking, and arguing about, from crock pot ham to helicopters hovering near Kid Rock’s house. Along the way we vent about algorithms, geek out over flight tracking, and land on a surprisingly real talk about getting older and counting life by seasons.
    • Two-year podcast anniversary and hearing from listeners
    • Crock pot ham method, pineapple, brown sugar and why it beats the oven
    • Divided plates, holiday food strategy and the leftovers problem
    • Meal planning versus meal prep and staying flexible during the week

    • Live Israel cameras, missile warnings and watching the Iron Dome
    • Spotting the ISS and why it never gets old

    • the Last Supper and Jesus naming betrayal
    • Jesus arrested in the garden and Peter’s reaction
    • religious trial and the charge of blasphemy
