Happy National Act Happy Day! We kick off the episode with Erin running on fumes after arriving home at 2 AM from a chaotic travel day, while Mike recaps his icy East Coast ski trip with Dan. Mike shares the struggles of renting gear, surviving the bunny hill, and a terrifying ski lift dismount where he was almost folded in half.Erin then gives a full debrief of her luxurious, over the top Adidas brand trip in Santa Monica. From walking into pitch black soundstages to accidentally sitting on someone else's display shoes and reintroducing herself to the same executive three times. She also details the stress of discovering the "slow" group run pace was a 10 minute mile.In sports, Erin goes on a passionate rant about the Paralympic coverage, calling out NBC for airing Alpine Skiing without any commentators or context, and exposing the disappointing changes made to the snowboarding course. We also discuss the hilarious internet trend demanding CEOs use their own products—like forcing the Ticketmaster CEO to buy pre-sale tickets or the Kleenex CEO to get the first tissue out of the box.For "Tea Time," we unpack the messy drama surrounding bodybuilder Malibu Fit Max, who lied to stop internet trolls. We wrap things up by questioning why celebrities are suddenly buying underground doomsday bunkers, a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" featuring toddlers whispering voiceovers for their dad's bakery, and Erin's ongoing struggle to finish The Alchemist.
