Inside the Pallet House

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. 

This episode is brought to you by AI, and your favorite team member, Brad.  You are confused as we are.  Like a new driver with a Learner's Permit, or men standing around an issue that we are unqualified to fix, it is all uncharted territory. 

Spring is in the air, and kittens and puppies are showing up in droves.  You would think with so many options we would try and pick a good one.  Not us.  

This week we are reminded of why boats are so cool by way of a Facebook Marketplace ad.  We are also reminded of why boats are the worst.  They really do walk a find line between cool and awful; kind of like Anime. 

We live in a fascinating time, and we are getting closer to understanding what is really happening in the great vastness of space.  Katy Perry is really pushing us all to broaden our horizons, and we see some statistically significant data from a far off planet. We can't spend all of our time focused on science though so we introduce you to a new streaming app that we should all be using.  

It is fitting that the week of the Master's we discover a new twist on the Arnold Palmer.  Troy is back from Spring Break, and it sounds like he managed to find a cheeseburger in paradise multiple times.  He is officially marked safe back home; we can't say the same for the wife of the Weezer bassist. 

Spring Break is upon us, and it has left us without the Audio Dreamboat, because he is on a boat. Don't worry though because a couple of us cut our Spring Break short to bring you fresh content, or something like that. 

It is hard to keep yourself safe these days with all of the different scams that are reaching out to us everyday.  As a rule of thumb you don't click the link, and get yourself a very solid passphrase.  In some cases you aren't even safe in your sleep with all of the succubi around. 

It's Troy's favorite time of the year, March Madness.  It is the perfect time of year to be reminded about how little anyone knows about college basketball.  We are also reminded about how finickey we can be when it comes to why we do or don't like some schools. At least we can all see eye to eye on the value of the fish doorbell.

March Madness is upon us, and you know what that means, it's time to throw some money away.  Yes trying to grow grass can cost more money then it is worth, but you can cut some corners with spiked shoes.  That may not be the best example of cutting corners, but we have some other ideas that might help. 

Spring is coming, and we are getting ready.  On the cheap front this simply means buying Costco shorts; other ideas seem to cost a bit more.  Before Winter fully moves out though we have our eyes on 895.

Wedding season comes every year, but it is more often reserved for the young.  They are typically a good deal for the guests, but be careful with the steak.  Speaking of good deals; we learn about a "good" one that only preys on those who have already bought in.

Sometimes what you are looking for can be underfoot for miles, and you can still miss it.  Other time it pays to enlist an expert if what you are looking for can ruin your junk in the process.  If you are looking for your finger it may be over by the Igloo cooler.

We learn a pro-tip from a listener this week, and another has found an interesting way to motivate us.  We also learn about how being motivated in the middle of the day could end in tragedy, and   that sometimes taking the easy way out can actually pay off.

The SuperBowl is here, and our picks are in.  We may not agree on who will win, but we all agree that the food is going to be on point.  There are a few things we can't agree on this week, and some of them are pretty controversial...I guess.

Far too often our expectations are not met by the reality of the experience. Then there are times in which we overreact and create something out of nothing. Unfortunately there are other circumstances that are so unfathomable that whatever reaction you have is probably not enough. We manage to have each of these happen to us this week.

If you are into ASMR and peanuts you are going to love this episode. If you are fan of the graham cracker you may want to tune out.  Don't say we didn't warn you.
