Uh, question number one for you, Chris.
Speaker A:Olivia Rodrigo launched her second pair of headphones in partnership with Sony.
Speaker A:Chris, what are your requirements for the perfect pair of headphones?
Speaker A:Inner ear, over the ear, celebrity collaboration.
Speaker A:You need to have Dr.
Speaker A:Dre's beats in there.
Speaker A:Like, what.
Speaker A:What do you require as a podcaster and human.
Speaker B:And I ann that there's no.
Speaker B:There's no definitive answer to that question.
Speaker B:I think it really depends on the use case.
Speaker B:For example, as much as I love the Bose headphones that I'm wearing right now for podcasting on plane trips, I've always.
Speaker B:I've always wanted.
Speaker B:I've never gotten one, but I've always wanted a pair of the big, big, you know, mother honking, noise canceling ones.
Speaker B:That's been my dream.
Speaker B:I've never just put down the cash for that, but.
Speaker B:Yeah, but for working out, yeah, definitely.
Speaker B:I want ones that fit in my ear and they also stay in there despite the copious amounts of sweat that are released from my very polish working out body.
Speaker B:Because that is a common problem.
Speaker B:I sweat.
Speaker B:You can tell the audience I sweat more than anyone else you've ever seen.
Speaker A:I sweat a lot.
Speaker B:But even close, either.
Speaker A:No, I do 100% agree with you, though.
Speaker A:As somebody who's traveled a lot in the last 48 hours, I feel like the over the ear headphones are the only way to signal to people to leave me alone.
Speaker A:Like when even my husband.
Speaker B:Yeah, because I always bug you when we travel on trips.
Speaker B:You're like, I have my earphones in.
Speaker B:I'm like, I can't even see them under your hair.
Speaker B:And you're like, mad at me.
Speaker B:I'm like, I didn't know.
Speaker A:I think the solution is clearly, for me that an over the ear pair of headphones are what I need to.
Speaker A:To signal to everyone.
Speaker A:They don't even have to be listening to anything, apparently.
Speaker A:I just need them so that we can.
Speaker B:Except for you, you have a.
Speaker B:There's a different dynamic there.
Speaker B:So for me, it would work perfectly because I have no hair to get out of place with.
Speaker B:For you, that's a dynamic that you have to consider.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:So I don't know.
Speaker A:Oh, you mean because of the over your headphones?
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:If it means that I can ignore people, I don't care.
Speaker A:The hair is the secondary.
Speaker B:All right, so got it.
Speaker B:So got it, Got it.
Speaker B:So you want your introvert moments.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:Second one.
Speaker B:Kraft has begun selling 15,000 boxes of its limited edition everything, bagel flavor, macaroni and cheese, everything.
Speaker B:Bagel flavor, Macaroni and cheese.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:And I'm curious, approximately how many times a year do you whip up some Kraft Mac and Cheese?
Speaker B:One for the kids and two, just because you crave it?
Speaker A:I OD'd on Mac and cheese in college, so it is not something that we have very often at our house.
Speaker A:But my kids like the Annie's shells and cheese, so we probably mix that like, four times a year.
Speaker A:Three or four times a year.
Speaker B:Oh, that's it, huh?
Speaker B:You never get a hankering?
Speaker B:You don't ever get a hankering for Mac and cheese?
Speaker A:No, it's just I do every once in a while.
Speaker B:I think.
Speaker A:College room did.
Speaker B:Why?
Speaker A:How much do you guys make it?
Speaker A:Are you, like, you're making it for yourself?
Speaker B:We used to make it a lot.
Speaker B:I don't make it.
Speaker B:I don't.
Speaker B:I don't eat a lot of dairy anymore for those listening.
Speaker B:But, you know, I still get a hankering for it, though.
Speaker B:Like, you know, Good.
Speaker B:No, it's always the craft, too.
Speaker B:I always want the craft.
Speaker B:Yeah, right.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:Well, no, not the Annie's.
Speaker B:I don't like the Annie's.
Speaker A:Oh, I'm a fan.
Speaker A:I'm a fan.
Speaker A:Okay, Chris, let's go to question number three.
Speaker A:3000 fake Gibson guitars from Asia were confiscated at Long beach harbor last week, pre proving that if the shopping deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Speaker A:Chris, what's one product you'd be okay with a replica of instead of the real thing?
Speaker B:Oh, man, that's hard.
Speaker B:I mean, the only thing that's coming to mind are, like, private label products.
Speaker B:Like, I'm generally okay with those.
Speaker B:Those are all replicas.
Speaker B:Can I say Tylenol?
Speaker B:Does that count?
Speaker A:Yeah, I guess, but I.
Speaker A:See, I was wondering.
Speaker A:I thought.
Speaker A:I was, like, trying to.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:What was Your mind.
Speaker B:Where's your mind going on this?
Speaker A:Like reps, in terms.
Speaker A:They're called reps.
Speaker A:You know, like the sneakers.
Speaker A:So, like, you don't have the exact same.
Speaker A:You don't have the Jordan fours like you're getting the reps?
Speaker A:No, no, no reps for.
Speaker B:You see, I couldn't think of it.
Speaker B:I can't think of anything like that that I want.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:I don't want.
Speaker B:I don't want.
Speaker B:Like that.
Speaker B:No, I don't want to spend it.
Speaker B:But if I'm going to get it or acquire it, I want the real thing or someone wants to give it to me, I want the real thing.
Speaker B:So, yeah, I can't think of anything.
Speaker B:I was even thinking, like houses, cars, like, you know what?
Speaker B:What?
Speaker B:How could.
Speaker B:I just can't come up with anything on this one.
Speaker B:All right, this one's great.
Speaker B:Shrimp Jesus.
Speaker B:Yes, Shrimp Jesus.
Speaker B:A serious series of AI generated images in which Jesus is melded with the crustacean have gone viral on Facebook.
Speaker B:It is worth taking a look at Omnitalk fast, let me tell you, because it'll blow your freaking mind.
Speaker B:So, and leaving Jesus out of this conversation completely and keeping this podcast as non denominational as possible, what is your favorite way to eat shrimp?
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:I still can't believe that Shrimp Jesus exists.
Speaker A:I need to like immediately Google this right now.
Speaker A:The first thing that comes to mind and one of my all time favorite things which is popular this time of year, Katie Krueger, one of my old friends from the advertising days.
Speaker A:If you're listening, Katie, it's your shrimp cups.
Speaker A:She takes one of those tostitos, like scoop chips, and then you mix like chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and black olives and green chilies.
Speaker A:I think that's all the ingredients.
Speaker A:But you stir them all together, maybe a little cumin, and then you bake them in the oven.
Speaker A:So they're, they're like these delicious little individual appetizer cups.
Speaker A:God, I'm craving them right now.
Speaker A:But yes, she makes them like around this time of year during the holidays.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:You have to get the recipe from Katie Krueger.
Speaker B:Oh, I have the recipe posted.
Speaker B:Post it online.
Speaker A:I have the rest.
Speaker A:I will be posting it online for everybody.
Speaker A:We'll get it out to you.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:You will not regret it.
Speaker A:Easy.
Speaker A:Appetizer delicious.
Speaker B:You probably all inspired.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:But yeah, you probably could.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:With those ingredients, all inspired by Shrimp Jesus.
Speaker B:And because we are the podcast that brings you Shrimp Jesus.
