Erin was nominated for a Webby Award! We kick things off with the viral morning routine of Ashton Hall, the "Saratoga Spring Water Guy," waking up at 3:52 a.m. to dunk his face in ice water, is it marketing genius or just absurd? Then, we uncover Ajinomoto's sneaky rebrand of aspartame to "Aminosweet," a move to dodge its bad rep linked to health risks like Parkinson's and cancer, buyer beware! Plus, we spill the tea on Remi Bader, the body-positive influencer who shocked her loyal fans with drastic weight loss, only to reveal surgery details on Khloe Kardashian's podcast after months of silence, leaving her audience feeling betrayed. We also dive into the buzz around Becca Bloom, the "relatable billionaire" blowing up on TikTok with her lavish but humble lifestyle. We discuss an old video we dug up where the news is claiming trail runners can't keep up with marathon runners. We also rant about overused words like "potable" (just say drinkable!), laugh at Adam Hadwin's golf tantrum breaking a sprinkler, and cheer for Tommie Runz solo Speed Project raising funds for addiction recovery. From a heartwarming car parade for a kid's birthday to Dollar Tree's price hike to $1.75, this episode's got it all, perfect for your next run, walk, or tune out session.
