Skeets

What's up, Ben?

Not too much, guys.

I'm so glad you started with the magnet stuff, because I was listening to yesterday's show, and you're calling me Magnet Man, which I really appreciate.

You're calling me Bubble Ben, which I really appreciated.

But I have a bone to pick, Skeets, because you were making it sound like I just go willy-nilly buying every single magnet, like I have no self-control when I go to these national park stores.

And look, I'll be honest.

I have hundreds and hundreds of magnets, so you're not lying.

But there's a method to my madness.

I would be glad to explain it to you and clear my good name.

So people don't think I'm just, you know, nuts walking in the store, just cleaning them out every single time.

Like it's supermarket sweep.

It's not supermarket sweeps.

Well, OK, well, talk me through it.

What's the decision making behind all these magnets?

Well, look, every destination you go to, you want the gaudiest one.

It doesn't have to be the biggest one, but it has to be the most distinctive, the most colorful, the most unique.

So you start with that one, right?

So if you're at Arches National Park, you're getting the one that's just bright orange and it's going to look awesome.

Mm-hmm.

But my secondary rule is if I see a particular animal that's unique to that area or it's not super easy to find just in your everyday life, I'm going to look for a magnet that specifically has that animal as well.
