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.

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.

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.
