Molly Wood  00:39

our things is unbelievable. This is the about page for shine.com. Or as US Colin Sheehan. She in which is probably closer to how you should say it, but probably not, but Americans just call it shine. That is incredible. And I think we can all agree 100% us

Molly Wood  01:10

And we do it all without the ecological disaster, or intellectual property

Tom Merritt  01:14

theft. That's true. You won't end up selling our stuff to Goodwill, you don't sell things. Well, but you know, you know what I mean? No, we have used our cutting edge technologies and processes to identify that pickles are a thing.

Molly Wood  01:27

I mean, one now tell me more ill I clicked a link

Tom Merritt  01:33

craze is sweeping the United States of America. So says the New York Times. People are are into pickles. And there is now pickle pizza, pickle potato chips, pickle beer, pickled cotton candy, pickle ice cream, pickled marshmallows. And Sonic has added pickled juice slush to its menu.

Molly Wood  02:02

Okay, this is one of the many, many, many reasons that I love this show so, so much because one I had completely missed this. And two now I know. And those reasons alone are incredible. This is incredible.

Tom Merritt  02:19

Yeah, there is a there is a fermented vegetable craze sweeping the United States. And the conversation which I'm a huge fan of what they do with the conversation that conversation.com has an article from Kenneth Simsek, Instructor of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Colorado State University and Jeffrey Miller, Associate Professor of hospitality management, Colorado State University incredible teaming up to explain what is it about pickles? Why is

Molly Wood  02:50

it Horner subheads on this article include a cornerstone of civilization. Pickle like yep, that is. That's amazing, because it's present Rachel me. I do love pickles. But what I have a particularly slushy, I don't know.

Tom Merritt  03:08

Let's get right to the heart of the matter. Pickle works well in so many dishes because the leading flavors in most main dishes are fat, umami, salt, something creamy and frequently something sweet pickles add acidity and crunch to balance out your dish.

Molly Wood  03:22

They literally have a picture by the way, wine, white wine and dill pickle potato chips, the perfect summer pairing in of course, the perfect universal wineglass which we identified in the show, like two summers ago, I'm

Tom Merritt  03:35

just saying. Yes, exactly.

Molly Wood  03:38

Is it weird that I want to try it but I'm sorry, I pickled pizza? I don't know.

Tom Merritt  03:42

And Ambassador Domo is pointing out the big deal cheeseburger. I mean, pickles. burger is not a new thing. But dill is is like a sub thing in here. That's sweeping around everywhere.

Molly Wood  03:55

Oh, my God, this is so wonderful. It's so wonderful. That I'm sending my son a text at this exact moment. That's like, are you familiar with this? Plus, do you know about the pickles situation?

Tom Merritt  04:08

Pickles are good for you? My one of the things that my doctor who's very into like nutrition is like you should eat fermented things. You should eat kefir and and kimchi and you know, you should eat pickles if you like pickles. Wow. It's good for you. For your your your microbiota.

Molly Wood  04:26

I tried being keto for like seven days. And pickles are like a great like basically zero calorie snack. Yeah, but But it's so sort of sour but also savory in the kimchi way that it makes you feel really satisfied. Yeah,

Tom Merritt  04:42

yeah, we're gonna Sean's those little topicals

Molly Wood  04:45

totally so French. So French. Oops, I'm sorry. He responded. That's my fault. If anybody heard that loud ding.

Tom Merritt  04:54

I didn't hear it actually.

Molly Wood  04:56

Have it on Do Not Disturb but it happened. Incredible. Gotta tell us what he said now. That wasn't him. Dang it. That was somebody else. If pickles pickles are pickles,

Tom Merritt  05:09

I mean they've been a thing before I you know, if we'd been doing this show since the 20s For goodness sake, we would add pickle.

Molly Wood  05:15

Yes. Apparently their corners cornerstone. Exactly what they're putting them on pizza right now, that is a thing, it

Tom Merritt  05:23

goes back to being amazing.

Molly Wood  05:27

So this is like one of those things that I almost hate to bring up because I hate it when I discover how easily programmed I am. And I find myself being like 100% organically unrelated to anything, I am just all of a sudden really into the boho look. And I'm going to add even more plants and I'm like all about the extra little rugs. And it's so funny that I just keep seeing this pop up everywhere. And I'm sure it's just the algorithm and then pretty soon I'm like, no, no boho, is totally in and this actually started because every time I looked up anything boho. So originally I had identified a very specific part of the boho obviously short for bohemian design craze that kept showing up everywhere that I'm not doing because I spent a lot of money on my light fixtures and that thing is wicker pendant lamps. Wow. So they're it's like a basket but it's

Tom Merritt  06:29

a light fixtures. Yeah, a basket over your light fixture. Yep,

Molly Wood  06:33

it's literally an upside down basket over your light fixture and they are breaking everywhere and every time somebody's looking

Tom Merritt  06:41

it is

Molly Wood  06:42

I mean right it just goes with the whole kind of seven years like rolling right into cocaine times.

Tom Merritt  06:49

Come at night should be also one of our things.

Molly Wood  06:53

It really should well we joked about it with the with the 80s the cocaine decor twitter feed but yeah it turns out actual cocaine is back what you know what kids don't do it because fentanyl I'm sorry. Not worth it. Yeah, not worth it expensive. Also cocaine so like don't do it. But definitely the fentanyl thing. No, but yeah, so I was oh my god, wicker pendant lamps are everywhere. And then I realized that my interest in boho decor is actually just marketing. One thing is boho decor is totally a thing like absolutely

Tom Merritt  07:25

a thing. It's I had no idea why I was seeing every puzzle in the app that I play, called patterned on Apple arcade was boho, suddenly Yeah, like everything on the app is suddenly I'm like, Why is everything debt? No, no, no, no, thank you. Yeah, no,

Molly Wood  07:49

because Sharon Murray in our Discord points out it is the natural evolution of cottage core. Sure. Yeah. Like you because you take cottage core and then you throw in a couple more plants and a couple more rugs. And some key you know, like, some artifacts for Mexico. I'm not saying I'm looking at some specifically

Tom Merritt  08:08

the big 10 You want to narrow it down a little

Molly Wood  08:12

Exactly. And then you're like and it also is a classy way to do maximalist remember when we identified on the show, I was like Max, back minimum is a minimum minimum is out Maximals in and a great way to do maximalism that's like organic looking because of all the freakin plants is boho. So boho is huge wicker pendant lamps are a huge subpart of boho and I'm trying to resist, but I'm literally looking at my light fixtures in the light fixture.

Tom Merritt  08:47

pendant light right now are you it's literally

Molly Wood  08:48

a matter of minutes. I love them. I bought these. They're cool. There's like $157 not 840 I'm trying to like modern boho like mix it up with my mid century. I think that's the other reason actually the boho is probably taking off this because it goes with mid century like you can mix those two things really nicely. Mm hmm. Yeah.

Tom Merritt  09:09

Yeah, I'm looking at my my puzzle app. Because I'm 75 my personal app, Boho bear boho clouds Let's die pirates. Boho sky everything everything's bow I had no idea I was like why is all that are all these puzzles suddenly boho?

Molly Wood  09:33

I like legitimately thought that I was like I don't know that this had just sprung into my head full formed like Athena from the forehead of Zeus but no. So easily programmed over here.

Tom Merritt  09:47

Well, the the other thing that is a thing is quiet quitting.

Molly Wood  09:54

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm so glad you brought this up. Actually.

Tom Merritt  09:58

I feel like I've also heard people call it Island quitting, but quiet quitting seems to be the more, you know, common relative. Now, I love this CNN article because it points out that the catchphrases misleading making some people think it means workers doing the bare minimum at their jobs. Which by the way, it totally means, but this article argues that employees still excel at their jobs, they just aren't working overtime to do it. It's about stopping doing work that people think is beyond what they were hired to do and not getting compensated for.

Molly Wood  10:34

I'll argue it's both the same thing.

Tom Merritt  10:37

Yeah. It's it's people just like stopping doing work. Just to see how long they can get away with it. It's also people just ratcheting down and being like, you know what, I'm not gonna kill myself for this job. And it that's a spectrum. You know, that's, that's a that's a continuum. Yeah, you may fall somewhere along that but the but the quiet quitting label appeal applies, nonetheless.

Molly Wood  11:04

I think it really, I think you're absolutely right. And everybody sort of wants to this may surprise you. But here in America, people want to make things binary. Yeah, like, it's either this or this and I will fight you to the death right to

Tom Merritt  11:20

Isaac, this human nature. True binary thing is the best at it.

Molly Wood  11:24

Yeah, you're right. We are exceptional. Exceptional. But you're I mean, you're absolutely right. Because the truth is, like most people's job descriptions are pretty minor. Right? If it's just I mean, I remember having a summer internship that I completed, I completed all the work they had for me in the summer internship in two weeks. And I think that's probably not unusual for a lot of low level jobs. If it's just like, I don't know, I'm thinking back to CNET, right? It's like write one article a week or something. Okay. And you don't have to do that great a job at or look at, like, my son and I were watching YouTube video the other day where somebody took ninjas masterclass, on how to be a streamer. And then, you know, reviewed it, critiqued it, if you will. And it is very clear that ninjas masterclass, and how to be a streamer is also a masterclass in quiet quitting. It's just like, yeah, I couldn't be bothered to do like a lot of work here. I just sort of rolled up and said some stuff about streaming talks about my hair a bunch. That's, that's the bare minimum is a lot of people's jobs.

Tom Merritt  12:35

Well, I think, Okay, put it this way. When whenever you have to get a promotion, what do you want to try to say? You want to try to say they went above and beyond? Yep, exactly. So the the Gestalt is, keep pushing yourself go above and beyond to get promoted. But you can't do that forever. And I don't know if it's just that not enough people are getting promoted, or people working from home in greater numbers caused people to suddenly wake up from from their, their Stockholm Syndrome, or what, but there's a lot of people going, I mean, maybe it's just the stress of COVID. You know, it's like, you know, I'm pushed past the limit. I can't do this anymore. It's probably a little bit of all of those things, right. But it's people going like, yeah, why am I beating myself up for this? believe I have people very close to me, who've had this exact conversation of like, you know, what, I'm not going to keep going to the limit and beyond for no reason. What am I getting out of it? You know, I mean, it's getting passed up for promotion. Oh,

Molly Wood  13:44

it is absolutely. That it's all of the I think for I really, sincerely believe that for the first so so so many people, it was the pandemic, it was realizing that companies just did not and I worked at one, right, like companies that did not take care of their workers at all, that were just like, Oh, you have a kid at home, and we probably laid people off and we're gonna need you to do double and most people were, you know, effectively working people, certainly with kids or pets, or even just a house to take care of the gods so much messier because you were in it all day, every day, right? Like all of that stuff. And employee employers were just like, Yeah, I'm gonna need you to come in on Saturday and turn in that TPS report like everybody woke up all at once to the fact that work doesn't love you back. And you know that because in addition that and the discord is pointing this out, in addition to quiet quitting, people call it acting your wage. Yeah. And there was a whole thread on you know, how people consider it wage theft to basically be like, Yeah, please do please do you know, everyone's had this experience where you're up for a promotion. And in order to get the promotion, you start doing the job? Yeah. The higher level job for free for some period of months are you yours and maybe job

Tom Merritt  15:00

you want to get promoted in. And then then that'll show us that you deserve it. What a scab.

Molly Wood  15:06

What is scale? And there was some article that said that Americans were working on average 11 hours per week more at home. More,

Tom Merritt  15:16

right? Because it's also a psychological factor of like not having to go home. So you just keep going. Yeah, yeah. Those of us who work from home before COVID were like, oh, yeah, no, that's real. Like, you got to pay attention to that shit.

Molly Wood  15:33

Right, exactly. I was like, oh, kids, I got some tips for you. Let me tell you, right. I was super irritated, actually, when everybody else came home and everything went to zoom. Because previously, I had lived a very happy work from home life where everything was on the phone, and you can get so much other shit done when you're on phone. Nobody's looking at you. Yeah. And nobody's looking at you. Yep. And then zoom made you be like, right in front of the computer. And I was like, This is unacceptable. Yeah. Only 24% of Americans thought their managers had their best interests at heart, According to a Gallup poll reached released in March 2022. Right, that tells you all you need to know

Tom Merritt  16:09

that that doesn't even distinguish between which managers are actively against me and which are just like, yeah, they don't care.

Molly Wood  16:18

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Work. To hate

Tom Merritt  16:21

you to just be like, Yeah, you know, what? My for my I'm protecting myself. So yeah, yeah.

Molly Wood  16:29

Yeah. I like Yes. Huge thing. Huge. Yeah.

Tom Merritt  16:33

And I've heard it a lot in the past couple of weeks to

Molly Wood  16:36

I have to in fact, it's one of those things that became so ever present as a new story that I didn't even think to bring into the show. And I'm so glad you did. Because

Tom Merritt  16:44

that's what's funny is I actually heard someone on a podcast mentioned it and I was like, Ooh, that's a good thing. And I noticed it, and then saw the news stories about it. And it just went one of those situations. It also just just in our conversation, you're talking about lockdowns and all that I was at my backyard earlier today, and having a little flashback to something we had done during lockdown. And I was like, I wonder how many people hate their house now. Because it reminds them of lockdown. For me, it was a pleasant memory. Because we have a nice backyard, we're lucky enough to you know, have that space. And it was like, Oh, it was a nice little escape from things to sit and have fish and chips, which was the memory. But yeah, it was lovely. But I'm like how many people were not in as nice of a place and had to spend all their time in that house. And now they've gone back to the office. And when they come home, they're like, I'm back to this horrible place that I had to live in for more than a year.

Molly Wood  17:40

Under present. I think we just have only begun to scratch. I'm really starting to have realizations about what the pandemic did to certain relationships or didn't do, or you know, and, and I think, and quiet quitting is unquestionably inextricably related to the pandemic and there are gonna be so many more things like this, where it's just like, Wait a second. Yeah. Yeah. Pandemic nostalgia, by the way, which you called? Totally, I totally have that. I don't really have him. Like the other day. I was just like, it was so simple. Yeah, it was just simple in my bag.

Tom Merritt  18:22

And I realized more the more time goes on, the more I can walk into Target without a mask and not feel like oh crap, what am I doing? Which I did put on my mask, but I was like, I wasn't as panic anyway. The more time that goes on, the more I realized how stressed I was like, right, I realized that I didn't feel it at the time. And, and yet, there there there was something simple about never having to worry about plans.

Molly Wood  18:50

Right? It's true. Yeah, it's a weird time. This is just a simple speaking of like things that are ever present. That I have to note and do not even have a wealth of commentary on see every tick tock ever for wait for it. Yeah. Or I should say, Oh, wait for it was always an African lady rainbow robot voice. Every video ever that is trying to I assume get you to wait to watch till the end because frankly, sometimes there's nothing to wait for. But they all say

Tom Merritt  19:28

wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for

Molly Wood  19:32

it. Yeah, and I like I became a little bit obsessed with it. I was like, this is almost like a metaphor for our time. Speaking of the pandemic, right? It's just a metaphor for like, waiting for I don't know anything the next shoe to drop the next election Trump to get in debt, whatever it is, right? Like everybody's just like

Tom Merritt  19:53

the next natural disaster next

Molly Wood  19:55

natural disaster Exactly. Like every day I wake up and I'm like, what fresh hell will today bring Wait for wait for

Tom Merritt  20:01

it. Wait for it.

Molly Wood  20:03

Wait for it. Yeah, it is it

Tom Merritt  20:07

common in language for this to happen where we watch the thing that was perfectly serviceable in its role get used so much that it starts to mission creep outside of its role and I feel like that's what you're identifying here because wait for it was was great as a like and then wait for it he dies, right? You know whatever you're telling like it's a way to build a little momentary false suspense and now it's just it's being used it's like no that's not a wait for it.

Molly Wood  20:39

No, it's like wait for the dog went out the door like Oh,

Tom Merritt  20:44

okay. The dog because he got a dog door. All right is

Molly Wood  20:49

he got a door and the dog is by the door? And eventually I bet I bet I bet it's gonna go that or wait for it. Yeah, but it was enough of it. So it is. I mean, it is a preexisting like thing thing and apparently in 2008 it showed up in Urban Dictionary. Oh, wow. Okay, as an entry crediting How I Met Your Mother for popularizing the phrase really. And then in 2011 YouTuber, Dr. J. 2012. uploaded a video titled thriller cat wait for it. And so it's been happening. It's been out there. It's a

Tom Merritt  21:25

very useful thing when you're watching a video. I don't get it. What am I wait for it? Okay, all right. Wait, oh, I've gotta wait is the funny thing happened? Yeah,

Molly Wood  21:35

right. But now it's just every TV thing. Everything, wait for it

Tom Merritt  21:41

wait for it doesn't make the thing you're waiting for good. I think that's what people are misunderstanding. And again, that's a common thing that happens with language. But

Molly Wood  21:50

just because I waited for it doesn't mean it was worth it. But I just want to acknowledge, I see you tick tock, and I'm not waiting. That's good. I'm now done ways that

Tom Merritt  22:01

way. We have feedback. We get it in email from feedback, and it's a thing that means account that you send it to thank you for sending the emails to that account. Aaron did that. Thank you, Aaron. Aaron wrote in with a solution for the drink of the summer. Thank god who saved us and help us just in time. There's so little summer left. Aaron says Hello Tom and Molly. I have a proposal for the drink of the summer. I spent quite a bit of time in the UK this summer. And flavored gin is definitely a thing of well, gin is definitely a thing in England but yes, but yes, yes. Okay flavored gin. Specifically rhubarb gin. I've never been a big gin drinker but I had a rhubarb gin and tonic and I'm a convert. Not to be outdone I highly recommend the rhubarb gin and ginger beer. Well, is intriguing. I was in July when it was too darn hot and that drink really hit the spot rhubarb gin is kind of hard to find here in the US. But let's tuck it up and make it a thing so that we can actually get it here. Oh, I see what you're doing Erin and I respect and salute it. Yes

Molly Wood  23:10

inception. Inception. Thanks ception Absolutely.

Tom Merritt  23:14

Rhubarb gin, go ask for it at your local liquor store now

Molly Wood  23:18

rhubarb as a mainstream anything is gonna be a tough sell ads gonna be a tough sell

Tom Merritt  23:25

and fans here we're not are you down on the rhubarb

Molly Wood  23:29

not never cared for the new rhubarb was one of those things like

Tom Merritt  23:34

me and Ray.

Molly Wood  23:37

It grows let me you can't stop it. You can add so there are certain seasons in Montana and North Dakota where if you leave your car window open, people are tossing in like bundles of rhubarb and zucchini and you can sell

Tom Merritt  23:50

rhubarb in my backyard and my grandma made it amazing rhubarb pie not rhubarb strawberry all right you fakers yeah that's just strawberry pie that you've you've waved some rhubarb over no rhubarb pie It's good stuff.

Molly Wood  24:04

Oh, God so sour. I hate it. But I'm curious. I'm curious. I don't know if it's going to be the drink of the summer but

Tom Merritt  24:12

I fully support Aaron's campaign though.

Molly Wood  24:14

You know what I like your attempt at the exception let's do it. Meanwhile, Sarah is ready for the fall as in Sharon Murray in our Discord. We were just talking about this in the pre show which you can get if you if you are a patron who gets our bonus content. Sarah writes Hi team thing. 12 foot skeleton decoration. Oh, are definitely a thing in my area. And it looks like nationwide they're totally out of stock at Home Depot already. And I found them but being sold secondhand for hundreds of dollars above original price. I'm jumping up and down because I love Halloween so much. Folks do not seem to be waiting until Halloween to put them up either. I have a long commute to work through rural Maine and at least three of the people on my route have had them up all summer long, decorating them seasonally by stringing patriotic bunting or strings of flowers between them

Tom Merritt  25:04

to take down I get that that makes sense. That's

Molly Wood  25:06

hilariously that is literally what she says maybe they're a real pain in the butt to put up so people just leave them up your further proof of things Adam this came up on NPR politics podcast weekly can't let it go segment on Friday apparently one of their regular reporters is absolutely crushed that she didn't get one before they sold out is looking for one second and amazing

Tom Merritt  25:27

I should just now check my local Home Depot limit one per order out of stock sign up here to be notified when they come

Molly Wood  25:35

in the blue blazes. Okay, that's so you're saying that my five foot skeleton five that I thought was so cool. Yeah. Is 40% of a man. Oh, dude, I just liked it. Absolutely, man. It is listed at Walmart. For $1,000 Wow.

Tom Merritt  25:59

Oh, that's one of the resale things. Yeah. You gotta be careful with Walmart. People forget that Walmart's like Amazon now anybody consistently

Molly Wood  26:08

zand dollars. That's 12 But and they've got a picture of it next to a normal size human.

Tom Merritt  26:15

Incredible. Human included for scale.

Molly Wood  26:18

$55 a month with the firm people. Buy now pay later forever.

Tom Merritt  26:24

Wow. Later, this show. Lee price has a question. And a thing. Are you ready? Yeah, let's go. Although Gen Z has been wearing 90s T shirts for a while. It seems Nirvana T shirts are being worn by everyone. As a diehard Nirvana fan. I'm feeling like the opposite of a gatekeeper. Come on in everyone. Oh, music helped me through some very confusing teenage years. So I'm hoping it encourages this generation to delve deeper into them to my question is, what do we call the opposite of being a gatekeeper, an usher? I'm sensing AI inspired album art as distinct from Ai generated art may be emerging as a thing as well. Check the two recent albums from Roy scop profound mysteries Part One and Two surprisingly, these images weren't created by AI but constructed by an artist who was inspired by AI. Hmm, can you lay your head will fold it on itself trying to make sense of either of these images that and last week I came across a new industrial album I'm quite into and yes, that sentence is a surefire way of exposing myself as a member of Gen X. Check the artwork for black magnets new album body prophecy, which I should warn kind of looks like it should be NSFW even though it technically probably isn't. Again, it's obvious this probably wasn't designed by AI directly, but was created by an artist inspired by AI. All this said, I won't be mad if this doesn't become a widespread thing. Because imagine if these mind folding visuals eventually became an entire VR aesthetic. I'd like to keep my breakfast in my body, please. Oh, it's

Molly Wood  28:01

gonna though. It's gonna Wow, these are these are deep cuts. Lee price.

Tom Merritt  28:06

Yeah, good. Yeah. inspired art makes perfect sense. It's all the time.

Molly Wood  28:11

It is 100% of the time. That's amazing. It is going to become a huge thing. And also, I love the idea of the opposite of being a gatekeeper like You're like a docent, a docent or right, that's good. That's yeah. Especially for the things that are kind of like a return. Yeah, let me guide you around. I was there the first time?

Tom Merritt  28:31

I like Oh, sure. Because I like Sure.

Molly Wood  28:34

Right. But there's some confusion, obviously. Yeah,

Tom Merritt  28:38

yeah, those that's really good. Love this.

Molly Wood  28:41

I love this a thing. dosent and then finally, Jody needs a think check. Can I get a thing? Check.

Tom Merritt  28:45

All right, check out I'll I'll check on

Molly Wood  28:49

line 15. Jody writes, it seems many people are starting small flower farms. They're often designers as well for special events. The Minneapolis Star Tribune had an article this week on a pick your own type of farm. Oh, fascinating.

Tom Merritt  29:05

Yeah. All right.

Molly Wood  29:06

I haven't seen it. But I'm on the lookout.

Tom Merritt  29:09

Thank you, Jody. Love it. Well, let's get to our shout outs. Richard Stroffolino Our producer not here for the recording right now. Because is he bowling was that right? baseball

Molly Wood  29:18

baseball game?

Tom Merritt  29:20

Oh, Miami League Baseball though.

Molly Wood  29:21

Yeah, that's what it was. Oh, great. He's living that Ohio dream right there. It really is.

Tom Merritt  29:25

But he nevertheless prepared an amazing lineup including these shout outs based on the 1982 Phillips technical overview of the Compact Disc.

Molly Wood  29:37

Cuz CDs are thing I love this guy.

Tom Merritt  29:41

Sorry if you are a member of our patron at the shout out level every week as you know you are immortalized in one of Rich's amazing shout outs. Not lazy shout outs like these other shows do where they just say your name.

Molly Wood  29:54

Say your name. Give me a break. Give me like some dumb title like Mega King of the universe. No By now you get a custom, artisanal handcrafted shout out such as this. Here we go three, two. In 1877 Morris Jones's phonograph played the nursery rhyme Miranda Janelle had a little lamb. After he had recorded it on the wax cylinder in his own voice.
