We’ve finally done it. We’ve come up with the single most ambitious business idea of all time. We want to tell you about it, but you’re gonna have to listen to the full episode, because conceptually it cannot be contained in this description. Also for real, we’ll know if you show up at the Container Store after you’ve listened. Don’t do it.
Suggested talking points: Submitted for the Approval of the Gary Society, Chat GPT Made That Squirrel, We're PLURs, not WHDDs, Sauce on Six, Staind-Brand Earplugs to Block Out Trapt Music

My favorite thing about this episode is that they TRULY get lost in the bit. I love the war with grandpa ep, but part of the gag with that one was purposefully stretching the discussion as long as possible. This one it seems like they genuinely didnt realize how long they were talking about it until like 50 minutes in

I have never had the urge to talk about an episode before with people… I was listening as a podcast came here just to see what people were saying. That said… the idea of a fan animator listening to the rave part like “yes! This is so funny and visual it’ll make a fun short cute animatic!” The segment just keeps going…. And going… and it just reaches this untenable, prestige drama length. The animators are like, “oh no… I… I can’t do this…” 😂

my first rave I showed up to the warehouse on 5 hits of acid, and I had the 10 dollars to pay to get in, but I just asked someone in front of the door for some glow sticks and walked in dancing. I pretty much didn't stop dancing till it was shut down by the cops at like 3 am. then we went back to the house for an afterparty. also mdma has been used in therapy for ptsd. it helps them talk about the traumatic event without being triggered, so they can work through it

When they started talking about raves, and how there's no sitting room and only super crazy vibes you can't escape, I thought back to the one rave I have ever been to, and several electronic music festivals. There's a large space to chill out, with low music and comfortable sitting, to relax in between periods of crazy dancing (or if that's simply more your jam). Raves are not 0 to 100 all the time, in my very limited experience. Still doesn't hold a candle to Plato's Rave, to be fair.
