Bike Rides, 90s Nostalgia, and Honest Pricing
Dear Listener,
Episode 188 opens with Stan's brief return to office life and the strange
mental math of salaried lunch breaks, then quickly moves outside for a spring
bike ride through Indianapolis, post-ride tacos, and a debate over whether
sleep is actually better without an Apple Watch strapped on overnight.
From there the show takes a hard turn into full-blown 90s nostalgia after a
wave of Goo Goo Dolls "Iris" reels takes over everyone's algorithm. Stan and
Jon bounce through City of Angels, crowded mall-era movie theaters, peak Will
Smith, the Chicago Bulls, Tupac, Hilary Duff, Spice World, and the general
realization that late-90s culture still has an absurd amount of hold on both of
them.
They close on 90s fashion and retail psychology: Lee Pipes, Tommy Hilfiger, and
the unforgettable chaos of JCPenney pricing. That leads into a surprisingly
good discussion about Apple's resistance to discount logic, why honest pricing
failed at Penney's, and what that says about how people actually want to shop.
Thanks for listening,
Stan Lemon & Jon Kohlmeier
