After a few weeks without SIBT, Gavin and Jess return to the studio to once again discuss their shopping needs. In fact, it’s been so long that we thought this was actually episode 11. Still in time for May, the couple talk briefly about Asian Heritage Month as Gavin suggests that Jess spends too much time looking out for good sales.

Gavin brags about how cool the new microphone stand looks, as the product discussed on SIBT 10 finally arrives. Jess, on the other hand, talks about why she had to buy a second spatula for Mother’s Day; listen to SIBT 11 for the backstory about it.

Gavin says you know you’re an adult when you are soon to become an uncle. The two talk about the expectations expected on such a noble title. Jess also mentions how she is always cooking for Gavin.

This episode, Jess suggests buying a ticket for the new drive-through attraction at the Toronto Zoo. Dubbed the Scenic Safari, patrons will drive their car around the zoo through the course of a 45 minute tour. Gavin, without anything he wants to buy, suggests SIBT enter My RODE Cast, a podcasting contest sponsored by RODE in hopes of winning some sweet prizes.

Lastly, the wrap up Asian Heritage Month, this episode’s Quick Buys features a discussion about how we can represent Asians - with our wallets. Jess talks about buying bamboo leaves as we hear about the interest tale behind zong - a traditional Chinese rice dish wrapped in bamboo leaves. Gavin, ever the simple man, suggests buying a very stereotypical item.
