About this listen

Happy National Green Juice Day! We start by admitting we'd rather buy the bottle than deal with the "pulp mess" of making it ourselves. We recap a chaotic snowy weekend where Erin and Dan drove two hours for Sam's birthday party, Erin got "overcooked" on wine while ruining a video game, and Dan achieved neighborhood legend status by plowing everyone’s driveways. We also share a hilarious struggle with a telepresence robot intended to help Grandma connect with the kids which resulted in the robot repeatedly ramming into walls.

In sports, we discuss whether $60 million is worth Jake Paul’s broken jaw and pivot our NFL allegiance to the "Seahawk Birds" after the Eagles' elimination (and potential rigging). We analyze the terrifying video of a US bobsledder left to complete a run solo, discover how "remotely athletic" people can join the 2028 Olympic Handball team, and learn where the hundreds of "Toothless" dragon stuffies thrown onto the ice for figure skaters actually go.

We then run through the top five hardest marathons in the world (Antarctica? No thanks), while Erin updates us on her "night owl" training schedule for the Craig Conover challenge. We dive into legal drama, covering the lawsuit claiming the McRib has no actual ribs and the inspiring victory of a local shop owner who defeated a trademark claim over the phrase "Silly Goose on the Loose." Finally, we explain the 1986 origin of the little arrow on your gas gauge and end with a heartwarming "No Bad No Sad" story about a Pennsylvania principal who built a culture of trust through high fives and secret handshakes.
