Inside the Pallet House

Guys don't often talk about the serious stuff, and that is by design.  Like buying a house near water, this system has it charms, but also its dangers.

This week we pit Old Stu against New Stu in a winner take all grudge match to king the top Stu.  The winner will have to face off with a new kind of AI.  To be fair we all are going to have to contend with this newest form of AI in one way or another. 

No matter where you are you will find yourself under one of 7 skies, and this week we find ourselves with the founders of Seven Skies canned premium cocktails.  Will and Ryan take us behind the scenes to learn about the genesis and the future of Seven Skies. From where we are sitting the future looks bright.

Like all fine art Taylor Swift's new album is taking some time to grow on people.   Some fine art keeps taking hits years later.  Everything cannot be an immediate smash like Gummie Grillz. 

We will meet you down at the Cheese Coney Club sometime around 6, 7.  Grab your new shoes from Goat now that the smell of petrachor is in the air, and hitch a  ride with the Hare Krishnas.  We heard Tyler Childers will be there tonight so you don't want to be late.  

This week the guys find themselves diving into some truly questionable product design, starting with nipple-friendly roach clips (yes, apparently that's a thing). From there, they clean things up with a story of a wedding that went off without a hitch — a rare success in the unpredictable world of open bars and dance floors. Just when you think things are safe, the conversation circles back around...

Acronyms are used far too often these days. Sometime they can mean different things. This week we explore Bourbon and Beyond AKA BAB, and Build a Bear AKA BAB. It's confusing.

We take a look back at an episode from 2021.  Negotiating a good deal can be harder than it looks.  A good deal can be found at Fresh to Frozen, but no negotiating is needed there. When buying things on Craigslist it is important to not show too much of your knowledge because it can be used against you. It is also difficult to get a price down if you have traveled across multiple states to view so...

We revisit a work trip that went as expected, but with a few twists.  We also manage to do nothing, and now find a back will no longer let us twist.  The good news is we can always ship in some comfort food using GoldBelly.  

It is the busiest fantasy football weekend of the year.  Enjoy it, and then please keep the results to yourself.  We do our best to do exactly that, in fact we don't even make an effort during the draft, we let AI take the wheel.  We also let some third mics take the wheel from Troy. 

The boys had a huge task in front of them, but despite their age, they rose to the occasion.  I cannot say there were not missteps in the process, but we can't be expected to get everything right.  

Swinging can be a dangerous group sport, and we are reminded of how badly you can get burned.  You may be better off trying to find an alternative way to get your fix.  It worked for the latest ice cream flavor to hit the streets.

Dave is back, and he isn't hearing this BS. Like an in depth search of his RV before a music festival; he isn't taking it laying down. 

We know being a third mic is hard so we wanted to take a moment to recognize all of their hard work and dedication.  They deserve a little attention.  Not as much attention as the guy next to one of us on a plane, but some attention none the less.

Impulsive decisions have come home to roost, but it seems like poor infrastructure is going to be the first hurdle  that will have to be overcome.  Not all impulsive decisions are poor decisions though; we will save that for the Coldplay concerts.  Top 5 for sure.

We recap a journey across the bay, and a history lesson that is probably still being told to anyone who will listen.  We also get first hand reviews from both inside and outside of the Allianz Pavilion in Richmond.  It might be possible that the best things in life are free.

Sometimes you can try a game you have played many times, but in a different light, and it changes everything. Enter Night Bocce. It is like being able to control your dreams; anything in possible. 

Reality TV has been around for a long time, but Whore, I mean, Love Island is the top of the food chain these days.  We have some tweaks that could be made to ensure it stays at the top.  These aren't bad ideas like U2 putting their song on all of the iPhones years ago, or trying to put an old school arcade in a struggling mall.  Like these are really good ideas.

This week we are joined by our friend Noah, and to say he brought the drinks would be an understatement. We effectively found a treasure trove of goodies.

Dave is a cowboy now.  The Painter is a Jailbird.  Troy is the beer hunter.  Brendan is still trying too hard to justify a hat.

This week we narrowly avoid temporary blindness so we have that going for us.  Running would have always been an option, but with the the amount of hashing going on it can be hard to know which way is the right way.    

Dave is back from Spain, and he has learned a novel way to use the Stock Exchange.  It works better for drinks than food though, because the food is not in demand.  The supply for fights is currently outpacing demand, which is the opposite from beach towels and flip flops.  Supply and demand is not a complicated concept, but it seems like Spain has only mastered it in bars. 

It seems like everybody gets a trophy these days, but there are signs that the times are changing. We are even priming the pump to give Pete Rose an award. Top award for ruining a car's interior goes to Drift air fresheners.  Heck we almost give an award to a known bad beer this week, but for now we managed to stop short. 

Bal'more takes some heat for being a rough place, but we think in the right light it can be pretty fun.  You can keep some of the light off your face if you get the right hat, but it won't keep you from catching shots.  Leave that to the guard dogs.  

This week we get to try the highly anticipated Miller Lite Pringles collab, and in typical fashion the experience takes a turn.  We are not sure we will ever be able to look at Pringles the same way again.  Fortunately we were sent some ciders by our buddy Jason Jones to help us wash away the shame.
