#210 - Surviving Local Oktoberfest, Strava Vs Garmin, & Parallel Parking Sport Oct 13, 2025

Show notes

We kick off this episode by not kicking butt at all, as technical difficulties try to take us down and one of us recovers from a week-long cold. Erin tells us about her local Oktoberfest, a story that involves parking in a farm field , a dreaded shuttle bus full of drunk people , and a confusing "cashless" system that requires you to blindly buy tickets to purchase anything. We check in on Dan's very questionable marathon training, which involves no socks , a straw hat , and a unique fueling strategy. In a case of "mom and dad are fighting" , we break down the lawsuit between Strava and Garmin over features like heat maps and segments. We also touch on the Phillies in the playoffs , a clever "tush push" fake out from the Eagles , and a potential match fixing scandal shaking up the NFL. Things get even more obscure as we uncover the high stakes world of competitive parallel parking and a cheating scandal that has rocked the World Stone Skipping Championships. Erin also recounts a trip to the tourist packed town of Jim Thorpe that ends with trespassing to see a bald eagle. We discuss the catharsis of a "scream club" in Chicago , and debate the merits of suing corporations over moldy cookies. Finally, we share a rant about misleading survivalist videos , learn the shocking singular form of "pierogi" , and end on a wholesome note with a video of an elderly woman becoming the main character at a block party.

Shout out to teachers on World Teachers Day!

We also celebrate an epic "big boy touchdown" by the Eagles' Jordan Davis that you have to hear about , introduce you to our new favorite NFL owner, the badass Carly Irsay Gordon of the Colts , and tell the wild story of a 16 year old Giants fan who went to extreme lengths to get a coach fired.

We also recap the Women's Rugby Championships , discuss a top US sprinter's controversial decision to join the "Enhanced Games" , and explore the surprisingly intense viral competition known as "Tinter Battles". Of course, we had to do a wellness check on our favorite "billionaire boys," so we recap Mark Zuckerberg's hilariously awkward and failed AI glasses demo. This leads to Erin believing she was personally targeted by Zuck's algorithm for making fun of AI. Finally, we wrap things up on a high note with a "No Bad" story about a resident's heartwarming gesture for an elderly couple that is guaranteed to restore your faith in human

We finalize our road trip to Akron, Ohio, to hopefully podcast on the Goodyear blimp! We're a little concerned about the passenger rules apparently. We also had to get a few things off our chests, from the bizarre rise of AI-generated podcasts to an update on that podcaster who fakes their numbers and somehow landed a Spotify deal. To prove we're still a sports podcast, we talk about the return of the Women's Professional Baseball League and read off a list of the wildest names in college football, including "General Booty" and "Dude Person". We wrap it all up with a great story about NFL player DK Metcalf, who learned American Sign Language to connect with the deaf community and trash-talk his opponents on the field.

Show notes

Happy National Farm Animal Awareness Week, everyone! In this episode, we're both running on fumes. Mike just got off a redeye flight, having slept maybe three hours total, and is in physical pain. Erin has just returned to normalcy after a week-long "crash out" that started when something fell out of a kitchen cabinet. This was all happening while she was also having a nightmare with QuickBooks and her taxes, manually entering transactions and spending days dehydrated at a co-working space to meet the deadline. Meanwhile, Mike was in Seattle and Bellingham for a wedding, staying in a beautiful, architect designed house on a lake that had some definite signs of wealth. Biggest problem was the Wi-Fi. We also share our thoughts on a rather sad whale museum he visited that had a comically small TV for its theater.

We then get into some planning for our upcoming trip to Ohio to ride the Goodyear blimp, debating whether we should fly or drive.

We also celebrate the return of the viral "Krispy lady," who finally tried a Krispy Kreme donut. We cover some interesting competitions, like the world record for the fastest 100 meter dash on Legos barefoot and a high stakes boat docking competition in the Chesapeake Bay. We also talk about the man who breakdanced during a city council meeting to protest a property tax hike.
