Balzac Blues
From the loss of a family pet to the liberation of canceling a $180 subscription, Josh and Greg navigate the highs and lows of modern adulthood. This week, the guys celebrate their first official brand deal, dive into a smooth 9.5% ABV stout, and revisit the legendary hustle of Michael J. Fox—plus a deep dive into the weirdest toy of the early 90s.
The Drink & The Snack
The Beer: Horchata Yeti by Great Divide Brewing. A creamy, 9.5% ABV imperial stout featuring rice, cinnamon, and vanilla. It’s dessert in a glass with zero boozy bite.
The Snack: Righteous Felon Meat Sticks. The guys put these to the test to see if they live up to the hype.
Life in Beta
Morty’s Legacy: Greg shares a touching (and unplanned) lesson in grief and resilience following the passing of the family hamster.
Cutting the Cord: Josh breaks down why he finally axed Amazon Prime after a shipping disaster and realized the $180 annual fee just wasn’t adding up.
The Big Win: We’re officially sponsored! We discuss our first brand deal—a $200 partnership for a specialized electrical diagnostic tool. ?????
Pop Culture & Nostalgia
The Balzac: Remember the toy that was basically just a balloon inside a heavy-duty cloth sack? We revisit the marketing genius (and the odd name) of this 80s/90s staple.
On the Bookshelf: A look at Michael J. Fox’s memoir, Future Boy, and the unbelievable story of how he filmed Back to the Future and Family Ties at the same time.
Top 5 Comfort Movies: The definitive list of movies that feel like a warm blanket, featuring Dumb and Dumber and Mallrats.
