SPEAKERS

Richard Stroffolino, Molly Wood

Molly Wood  00:01

Hey, everyone. I'm Molly wood.

Richard Stroffolino  00:03

And I'm Richard Stroffolino.

Molly Wood  00:05

And welcome to it's a thing, that weekly podcast supported by you where we have built the most comprehensive database of consumer things on the internet. And we provide an open, active forum and useful tools for our community. Thanks for joining us.

Richard Stroffolino  00:21

Yes, yes, indeed, that goes out as a as a In Memoriam, to one of the one of the OG goats of the cyberspace. That's the about page for DP review, or

Molly Wood  00:33

some out for DP review, man. I mean, I'm not even as much of a photography geek. Well, as much I'm not 1/1000, as much of a photography geek is. And I was freaking bummed to hear that they were sending in and I didn't they like they're closing it down and not even leaving the archives up.

Richard Stroffolino  00:53

Nope, they are. Well, we don't we don't 100% No, they're saying April 10. It's the data will no longer be supported and moved into read only mode for a limited period of time. So we don't really know what that looks like

Molly Wood  01:05

three words, people amazon.com Don't fire stuff and ruin it. You. I mean, Amazon also,

Richard Stroffolino  01:15

archive archive.org Just saying Wayback Machine is available there. Yeah. So for all the folks at DEP review, we're gonna have to maybe buy you around. And that gets me into my first thing. I wanted to make sure we didn't cover this before. I feel like maybe we've talked about this. But buying around for the kitchen, not just as a concept, not just as a, I'm a nice guy, I'm going to throw some money toward the kitchen as a menu item. Like, especially like an online ordering I've seen unlike like, I don't know, GrubHub or whatever. I've seen that like as a menu item that you can order to go right around for the kitchen. Not that I'm opposed to it. It just the formality of it was a little and all of a sudden seems a little weird. Molly, have you seen this? I

Molly Wood  02:03

have not seen this? Wow. It's a it's like a little presumptuous? Maybe? Although I guess it goes. What I have seen is not this specifically, but I've definitely seen it like tip your driver, or, you know, somehow make hole all the people in the chain kind of stuff.

Richard Stroffolino  02:26

Yeah, and not that I not that I don't trust restaurant. Like I know, the idea is I'm assuming that goes into like a general tip pool. I don't even know how that works. Like I have no, I have no certainty that my tips or my strengths for the kitchen have any impact on the kitchen staff? Like if there was like a tip jar for the kitchen? I would, because sometimes I do want to be like, Oh, the service was fine. But this burger was amazing. The server didn't have anything to do with it. Not that I'm going to stiffed them on a tip. Right? Like, if I have, you know, maybe throw a couple extra bucks for the chef or where you know, whoever. But yeah, it's like, I don't know, it's just kind of feels like the restaurants like if you want to give us free money. We have a mechanism, we have a mechanism

Molly Wood  03:07

to say no. And hopefully it will result in like beers for the kitchen or whatever. It's just so I mean it I guess it's sort of like, I'm sure that tips. Everything is probably way down. You know, of course it is in the age of delivery and ghost kitchens and stuff. But this is such a like an American solution as opposed to people who work in restaurants should get paid more. Yes, yeah. Not trying to be crazy

Richard Stroffolino  03:36

use of strangers. The kindness of strangers versus a safety net. Right.

Molly Wood  03:41

Right. Like, so we're just gonna work as as with all things we will just disperse the responsibility throughout the American public, many of whom are also not getting paid enough or are getting laid off in droves, literal droves. But like we'll make it your job to take care of all of the employees that we don't have a system that takes care of. Not that I don't I mean buying around for the kitchen is a cool thing to do. I guess you know, I mean, it's like a harken back to earlier days where we all went to restaurants but yeah, it That's weird. I have not seen it but I don't doubt that I will because there's already all kinds of you know, throw in an extra tip or tip this person or say something nice to your driver, which all like is true. And also less praise more raise.

Richard Stroffolino  04:28

Hmm, Preach it preach it fascinating. Also, my problem with these is this like $10 And I'm like, Now maybe you're just buying this is like what is this for a six pack like the you're buying from the store now? Like, like just the idea. I'm like, This doesn't even seem like enough to cover the round. If it's from your bar. That's like a beer and a half. Yeah, that's come on fancy. Fancy brewery. Come on.

Molly Wood  04:51

Come on fancy brewery. I'm not buying it.

Richard Stroffolino  04:55

I'm not I'm not buying. If it's $10 you can give me a $2 beer. That is what you're telling me. I feel like that's what you're telling me.

Molly Wood  05:01

Exactly. Now you're just you're just exposing your markup which I had no idea bad about all of it. I didn't know that all this was gonna make me so mad. But apparently, it's made me super mad. And another thing that makes me mad is is the state of fashion right now, in which the big red boot is way more of a thing than I have wanted to admit.

Richard Stroffolino  05:33

This is this is tremendous.

Molly Wood  05:35

I mean, have you seen this? The big red boot? I thought it was a joke

Richard Stroffolino  05:40

I have for sure. I have seen this. I will let you continue maybe with a little more big red boot explainer before I tell you my reference point. Okay,

Molly Wood  05:51

well, the reference point that made me realize Oh my freaking god, I think this is like real and I actually have to talk about it was like a picture of che Gil just Alexander the basketball player wearing them. And then there was something recently on little Jupiter, which is a Instagram account. That's the total thing. And it was a picture of like someone who had gotten stuck in their big red boots and they were trying to get him off. But so big red, the big red boot is a literal, really big red boot that's made by fashion brand MSC h f. And they're just these like, big, huge, red cartoony looking boots.

Richard Stroffolino  06:35

And they look like I first I thought it was Mario cosplay.

Molly Wood  06:38

Yeah. They look like Mario cosplay. Or like maybe like a little Lego thing. or similar.

Richard Stroffolino  06:47

Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's yeah, that's yeah. And then the same thing. Yeah. Right.

Molly Wood  06:52

They're sold out constantly. I think they're no yes, they're $350 and they look like a big rubber cartoon. clump, Kloppers. They just went on sale February, and they sold out instantly they remain sold out. And all these celebrities are wearing them

Richard Stroffolino  07:15

everywhere. One of one of the celebrities that's wearing them and I just posted this in the chat is WWE superstar Seth Rollins wrestled in them. And this is this is how they came into because he's playing this character. That's like a hotshot I mean it's not like the most original character ever. But like a hotshot kind of fashion he aihole I guess is the best way to describe it. And and he just comes out in those and I thought it was we just it almost reminded me of like shits creek where it's it's so over the top Yes, I'm sure this has some fashion route to it. But like it's just over the top for the sake of being over the top and it is but also a giant fashion thing that's blowing up

Molly Wood  07:58

it's a giant fashion thing that's blowing up it's literally it's all of those things. It's all the things that you said and like it's they're super fun and hilarious and fine or whatever. But sometimes it's like I don't know what I don't know if they just did the most perfect influencer marketing campaign imaginable. Or if actually everybody was like, Oh my God, these are too fun and hilarious and I have to do it. But holy bananas are the big red boots everywhere. I'm like honestly like two weeks late at least.

Richard Stroffolino  08:33

Well, I mean, Seth did wrestle Logan Paul in them back in February so it the cat might be out of the bag since this is the hellscape

Molly Wood  08:42

kill me

Richard Stroffolino  08:44

like I will say like in my in my let's try and rationalize this brain I can kind of see this as like okay, we've had platform but like crazy platform boots for a while right? This is like the almost the commentary reaction to that of let's let's make them literally comical in appearance is like, it's like my thought about this, like make make the maximally impractical version of that. And hence Big Red boot.

Molly Wood  09:13

I mean, sometimes you literally think that you don't know like sometimes some piece of some fashion thing comes out and you're like, This is a test right? Like you're just like, it's like a big practical joke just to see if you can get like young girls to be pictured wearing like giant Lego feet. Like that's the drone. These feel like

Richard Stroffolino  09:35

it feels very close to like emperor's new clothes, right? Yep. And yet

Molly Wood  09:39

everybody was like Oh, hell yeah. I cannot wait to rock those with my big puffy coat my basketball outfit and I've been evidently wrestle I just found the picture of him wrestling. Oh my god. he stomped the MS. In Ms. VHS viral big red boots. Wow.

Richard Stroffolino  09:56

Oh, yeah, that's his finisher as a stop. So it is quite appropriate that who were Are comical boots.

Molly Wood  10:02

Funny. I mean, I can't stop looking. I can't stop stop with the research on this.

Richard Stroffolino  10:09

It's it's a gift that keeps on giving real really? Some of them I don't know if some people are smaller or they're just using wide angle lenses to make them big but the picture you just posted the boots look big but not like insane.

Molly Wood  10:22

Yeah, I think we are big but not

Richard Stroffolino  10:26

whereas this screenshot that Ambassador Domo shared the shoes look so unwieldy.

Molly Wood  10:32

Like you couldn't even walk.

Richard Stroffolino  10:36

I kinda love them. Like, I get it. I kind of in a weird way. It's like, yeah, how else can you in an age of how can you get people talking about what you're wearing? Yeah, I don't know. There's, there's kind of I almost want to say a, like a simplicity to it of it's just gonna be big in plastic dump like,

Molly Wood  10:57

it's big. It's big. It's big. And it's red, and it's a boot. And it doesn't need to be more than that. It's fairly right. Our be BRB.

Richard Stroffolino  11:08

Alright, well, my next thing we're going to go into the the world of Molly, I know you're a fan of fancy coffee. Oh, gosh. Yeah, I know. I know, we already talked about I will. Okay, so I think this was really just because you kind of talked about, maybe we're approaching the end like a lessening or an end of coffee snobbery or something like that. And I think this is kind of a, like the craft coffee specialty coffee people trying to grasp on to this trend in a certain way. Just hold this. Just bear with me out here. Okay. All right. So you know, like, when you you know how, like, if a coffee wants to sound like it's fancy, but it's really just like, stuff you buy at a grocery store. They'll say like 100% Arabica beans on there. Right? Right. You've seen that before? Definitely. Okay. So that is because there's like many different types of coffee plants out there. And Arabica is like what all craft coffee is made of. You just assume it's all Arabica so they don't need to say it. McDonald's tells you it's it so that you think it's not terrible, right. But there's another type of coffee called robust. And that is usually kind of used as filler for like instant coffee, they'll mix it in with Arabica. And it's, it's generally considered a more coarse not as pleasant coffee, it's like can be very bitter, described as Woody in a lot of ways. leathery sometimes, like not pleasant tastes you would associate necessarily with coffee,

Molly Wood  12:28

okay.

Richard Stroffolino  12:30

But a robust a coffee recently made its way it placed in the US Barista Championship, which is like this big deal. So I'm gonna say we're going to see this kind of I'm calling this early. I think we're going to see, I'm sorry, I have to roll my arse, right? He's telling me I have a little robust a trend you're going to see. And I think part of this is driven, there seems to I've been seeing more like coverage of like just Vietnamese coffee in general. And busta is mostly grown in Vietnam, it's grown a bunch of different countries, but Vietnam is the chief producer. So I feel like either either Vietnamese coffee is gonna go, like become a bigger thing, or we're going to see more people trying to stand out in the craft coffee scene to

Molly Wood  13:22

robust, robust.

Richard Stroffolino  13:25

And there is a there's a company that the company that did it is, I think it's put a new yen coffee supply, I think is the name of the company that put this out here. They're the ones that had this. Yeah, yeah. Union coffee supply is the kind of random put that out there. And basically, reading the coverage of it, it sounds like all they did was like just treat a robust, like, like a high end Arabica. So you know, they had a higher elevation. They did like more careful processing of it instead of like, just like mass produced processing of it. And you know, I'm sure they spend a lot of money to get very high end version of it, but I don't know it's such a crowded world that any way you can stand out is probably good. I love this.

Molly Wood  14:11

And we'll also think nobody knows the that Vietnamese word by the way is pronounced new in.

Richard Stroffolino  14:16

Doing Yeah, sorry.

Molly Wood  14:17

No. In politics, okay. Just helping me out. I love this because no one knows all the things you just said. No one knows that Arabica versus robust a thing. Nobody knows that robot. The robust stuff is the thing that tastes like burnt rubber and an aftertaste of peanuts evidently, according to at least one comment in serious eats. And as soon as we started to get like they this is so smart. They put it on their label that that Robusta beans have nearly two times more caffeine than Arabica beans. They have 60% Less sugar and fats. Like they're just gonna present it as a whole new and it's gonna be like sativa versus indica or whatever. And then everybody's gonna be like, well, I like Get the happy high caffeine kind and I'm stoked. Let's go new kinds of sounds like the stuff they make Folgers out of. I'm down with it.

Richard Stroffolino  15:07

Oh, yeah. Oh yeah, this is this is definitely like 40% of Folgers is robust, robust. I like that.

Molly Wood  15:14

I like that kind of Woody panetti I like the more savory coffee flavor.

Richard Stroffolino  15:19

You'd like a darker roast. There's nothing wrong with that.

Molly Wood  15:22

Oh, my God, I love this.

Richard Stroffolino  15:24

You don't like your your coffee to taste acidic and fermented?

Molly Wood  15:27

I mean, what the hell people? Stupid millennials and their flavor profiles. I love this. This is Gen X coffee coming back.

Richard Stroffolino  15:38

That maybe maybe Gen Z will join you. That's a good that's a good Steve Rosenthal.

Molly Wood  15:42

I like this one. This is a good I think the on the lookout, I'm going to be on the lookout and I have a feeling you are. You're right. You're You're right. I have noticed that we all know that the internet is a place for telling you loudly and often that everything you're doing you're doing it wrong. And yes, yeah. And then that there are very, very, very popular content creators are like, here's how to do it. Right, right. We're life hacks, like life hacks have been a thing. Very popular content format, especially on Tik Tok, which has spawned a new thing. And that thing is a whole very popular content format. That is people testing, tick tock life hacks.

Richard Stroffolino  16:28

The snake is eating itself.

Molly Wood  16:30

Snake is eating its own head. It is the arubaos of life hack videos. And you got to admit, it's as clever as it comes. Because you don't have to think of anything. You just go and find somebody else's life hack content. And then you do it yourself and you build a brand. So there's like this guy on Instagram reels, I'm sure on tick tock, by the way, side note using reels a lot more lately, because it's like, all in one place. Anyway, he has this hilarious stick that he does. He's 40. And he's got the southern accent. And he's like, so you're telling me for 40 years, I've been making my eggs like blah, blah, blah, and no way. And then he I love him. He's hysterical. And then he tests one of these life hacks. And you know, laughs incredulously or whatever if it works. I mean, this is dumb, dumb, copycat content with a stick. And it turns out, it's everywhere, like people watch. It's like it tick tock introduced the duet feature. And I swear to God, it only exists so that people can watch a life hack in one pane, and then try it out in their pain and boom, content.

Richard Stroffolino  17:43

What one so is the is the appeal just for the reaction of the person of being like, oh, my gosh, my eggs did cook better? Or is it? Is there anything? Is there any kind of like, we're gonna get nerdy and and test this rigorously? Or is it purely just for the like, shock reaction that it works or doesn't work?

Molly Wood  18:05

It's a little bit of both. Like, some people have hilarious shocked reactions. There's this guy who's like 30, who, cuz they always talked about their age, you know? And he's like, I can't believe I just learned this. And he gives this like, You got to be freaking kidding me face. That's very funny. In the case of the guy that I love, who's like you're telling me for 40 years. And he does that every single rd on board? It's a brand. Yeah, I mean, he's like, but I will say that his curation is excellent. So like, the things that he decides to test are great. And a lot of times I'm like, like, I just learned from him that you're like, you know, when you buy a tube of like a caulk for repairs, and then there's a little caulk gun. And then when you need to snip off the top of the tube, you gotta like find the scissors and whatever. And he was like, Oh, it turns out that there's a hole in the side of the caulk gun and you put your the tube in there and you like, pull the little caulk gun trigger and it just snips it off at the exact right angle of everything, right. Or apparently, you can put an egg in the microwave on a plate like a paper plate with another plate on top of it and microwave it for a minute and a half or something and you have a perfectly poached egg

Richard Stroffolino  19:18

i But literally up until

Molly Wood  19:21

he's just doing this from other video. Like I'm just like, why is this the guy who's famous, but the guy who originally created this is not famous.

Richard Stroffolino  19:32

Because all we want to do is connect to people that like, like find a personality that we like, and then we just want to like take all of that personality from them and imbibe that into like, I've come to realize that's increasingly like I really doesn't matter the subject matter if it's like I like the way you talk and you're you make me laugh a little bit like I'll watch you talk about robust a coffee or eggs in a microwave like it doesn't matter. I just want to I just want to consume all of that from you see, like, it really like that It's kind of a tic tac I've realized is like, distilled down. It's just like, the least common personality factor, right? Yeah, you can get and kind of absorbed that from. I do kind of like it though it does feel almost like, like the, like logical extension of Mythbusters in some way, except, except it's two minutes instead of a half hour is something that we're an hour long

Molly Wood  20:24

right here. This guy's gonna play this one. Because that time

20:29

I'm doing it. For 40 years, I've searched every corner of the internet for the perfect way to make a overeasy egg and I could have been doing this. I know why. I don't excited to try this out.

Molly Wood  20:39

And then every time it's like, I know way, every time he's on break, we curated tick tock life hacks but so like, sure some other inferior podcasts would tell you that tick tock life hacks are a thing. That's not the thing. New content based on doing those life hacks, that's the thing. That's

Richard Stroffolino  21:02

now what, Molly what we need to start to do is break down videos looking at the testing of life hacks to show that they've clearly tested it like three or four times to get it right and do a breakdown video. Six ways you can tell this wasn't really him cooking and overeasy Yeah,

Molly Wood  21:21

I love that. Bah, bah, bah, bah, bump up

Richard Stroffolino  21:25

as a YouTube short.

Molly Wood  21:26

I mean, there was one I saw yesterday that was just as like hilarious woman watching a video of somebody saying this is the right way to flip a grilled cheese. And then she like gets out of bed and goes and makes a grilled cheese and flips it because apparently put it on the spatula and then you turn the pan upside down. And then you turn it over and I guess the cheese doesn't go flying? I don't know. But she just does it and then just tosses the spatula in the sink. Like it's the reaction. That's the key. You're right. Oh, yeah. But I'm just like, this is the cheapest content like why am i into this?

Richard Stroffolino  21:56

It's again, it's I mean, one we're all looking for a way to distract ourselves against the inevitability of death. always just keep that in mind. Okay, but to like but no, it's it's you find that personality and you're like, I want to see if how he's gonna react to this egg or want to see him how he reacts. When you flip the little tab on the soda candover and put a straw in it. I want to see that.

Molly Wood  22:20

I want to have that Swanee. Anyone from me.

Richard Stroffolino  22:23

You mean to tell me me write your description that guy? I don't know. I know what you know, what I do does make me sad, though, is that like 10 Maybe 12 years ago, that guy would have like a CBS sitcom pilot. But now we know five years ago that

Molly Wood  22:46

he wouldn't because he only has one original idea, right? Like none of the content is original his own the original idea is try these life hacks and make this 40 years old joke.

Richard Stroffolino  22:56

But so he works for a home like here's I'm going to make the pilot for you right here. He works for the home shopping channel so he's around all of these people that are doing and he's like He works for him he's like the camera guy and he's like, you know I'm sick of all these people showing me about this muffin make or whatever like that and then he starts his own Tiktok channel talking about that and that's each each you get a little tick tock full screen thing that's one example the related to the episode but then the rest of the show is about him learned to love his family because he's emotionally distance because he's a typical alpha male. So yeah, that's the show I'm basically just pitching home improvement but with this guy,

Molly Wood  23:32

this guy and not gonna lie you're not wrong. Not wrong. never reach that thing to peacock immediately say sorry

Richard Stroffolino  23:43

to peacock baby. I'm not

Molly Wood  23:47

who else is never wrong, you the audience. I thought that might be where you're headed. buttery smooth transition. Feedback at its thing.me is where you can send us your things, your suggestions, your reactions, if you will.

Richard Stroffolino  24:06

Yeah, Barbara wrote in and she had a fashion question for us, Molly. So let's lay this out here. Okay. She says I've been seeing jeans with no front on the legs at the top of the thighs. The material is cut away all the way to the ankles. The back of the leg is covered, but the front exposed mostly seamless on Instagram posts is this thing

Molly Wood  24:30

is it I'm trying to find that there's that let me just say that this is a hard thing to DuckDuckGo with no front,

Richard Stroffolino  24:39

I have seen extraordinarily distressed jeans, not where it's all gone. But like it is so ripped up that you can like there is not a part of the leg that you can't see but it is still a full pant.

Molly Wood  24:54

With no fabric in the front but fabric in the back.

Richard Stroffolino  25:00

Oh no, I don't have SafeSearch on.

Molly Wood  25:03

Landon was like how to tell when jeans don't fit. Yeah, I know I am not. I'm having a hard time getting this to come up. But I guess it wouldn't surprise me because anything is possible. Tell us everybody feed back into the thing not me. If you have seen this look in the wild, let us know what the phraseology is, yeah, and how to how the heck you try to Google that. And then Francis wrote in with his hack for video backgrounds. I took a picture from the viewpoint of my normal camera on my desk, and I have it set to my background. So no matter where I am, it looks like I'm sitting at my desk. It did backfire on me once because I forgot I had it on and I was sitting in a conference room with people seeing me sitting at my desk and across from them in the conference room at the same time. Yeah, that's good, though. They're probably like, ooh, clever.

Richard Stroffolino  25:54

Yeah, if you can't blur it out, at least make the virtual background convincing.

Molly Wood  25:59

We're in we're very much in the fancy background and facial like image tweaking part of David Foster Wallace's description of the rise and fall of video conferencing and Infinite Jest. Just Google like literally, I'll find the passage and I'll put it in its thing go read it because I can't remember what he wrote in front of just like the ABS or whatever. But there's just this side tangent which is kind of a thing in that book, all about 1996 Just like the rise and fall of video conferencing and how it became like this huge craze for a while but then everybody was like stressed out about how they looked so they had to get backgrounds and then masks and then people started selling these like whole kits that would just die and then they just went back to the phone.

Richard Stroffolino  26:45

So we have an update our top notch Discord is on this frontlist situation. And we have Ambassador DOMA posted a link to barely there straight leg jeans and this is kind of what I was thinking of where it's real torn up in the front but then serais posts from The Guardian and these are exactly as described my is barely their

Molly Wood  27:10

God. legless jeans is what sorry, TW searched and indeed they have like, a bit like a scaffold on the front.

Richard Stroffolino  27:22

Jean superstructure

Molly Wood  27:24

Jean superstructure with like a bit of a codpiece. And

Richard Stroffolino  27:31

I mean that the line says at all. Why buy jeans when you can just get the pockets and waistband?

Molly Wood  27:36

Oh my God, where are you hanging out that you are seeing this? Francis? I mean, Barbara, Barbara, where are you seeing this? This is incredible. Don't call yourself anything but like the fact that you're somewhere where people are wearing these. I need to know. This is incredible.

Richard Stroffolino  27:57

I mean, I'm gonna rock that look for sure.

Molly Wood  27:59

legless jeans, oh, there are so many variations on this.

28:05

When you can be legless

Richard Stroffolino  28:52

Well, today's are based on Mike Duffy's review of the first season of two guys a girl in a pizza place as published in the Detroit Free Press.

Oh my god, that's amazing. All right, I'll kick us off here. Wow, that happened. That show happened. Such a cute little Laura Abel title to cute to Eric Duncan's, a Gabrielle Cohen and a pizza place debuting at 930. Tonight on ABC is the latest cloying variation on the AJ ventrella formula. Like NBC is similarly uninspiring Joe hood rules, which debuted Monday, this generation X spring season sitcom revolves around a trio of wise cracking Lee prices. But well that show concerns itself with Morris Jones, Louis, St. Amour and Mike Aikens, this show which replaces Miranda Janelle for the next six weeks, takes a slightly younger more slack arised slant on Kevin sill life.
