Good. just wanted to give a warm welcome to all the nerds who listened to last week's episode of A Waste of Time With It's The Real, which featured Just Blaze and Phil Chang's talking about Star Wars. Yes, a movie that neither of us has ever seen. And guess what? We still haven't seen it. So, yeah, in your face. The victory is ours. Or theirs, I don't know. Whatever. Today's episode features a couple of our friends.

Nick Catchdubs and Karen Rose.

Yeah.

And shouts to them, they have amazing careers, which we get into.

Nick happens to be the co-CEO and co-founder of Fools Gold's Records.

And Karen Rose is a celebrity bedazzler.

Yeah.

Also designing sunglasses for people like Katie Perry, Rihanna, Paris Hilton. Just a whole bunch of amazing people, including these two fools right here. Yeah, she gave us glasses for one of our shows. So shout out to them. Enjoy this episode. And here we go. Yo, what up. It's Eric, aka Steady Leaning, AKA Didn't have my V.A. juice this morning. Yo, what up? It's Jeff, aka GoGo Gadgett, Arms, aka Extendos on Extendos. Yo, what's up? It's Karen Rose Gold. Home Depot represent. Oh, that's because you're armed. Yeah, and this is Nick Ketchups, and I'm just not feeling nicknaming right now. Nicknaming? Yeah, no, I got to get amped up. Like, I feel like let's have some vegetables. Okay. And then, like, maybe like in the closing segment. Yep, just like breaking in the middle. I know. Yeah, yeah. But we should say this is a waste of time of this, for real. How do you don't have, like, an actual, like, little, you know, sampler with the fucking buttons? Like, a little instant replay for the bomb drop. We're only, we're only 20 episodes in, so we're just getting started. But we should. Are we, your 20th anniversary? You are. Yeah. Is that, like, oh, wait, wait, are you 19? It might be 19. I don't know. That sounds kind of hotter, so I'll take. Yeah, yeah. But is the, is the goal eventually to have like the sort of like Mark Marin style sponsor where you shout them out and then they pay for the air horn? We do have sponsors. Oh, shit. And this week it's Casper. Shout out to them. Yes. We have one. We have a Casper.

It's fucking... pay for the Airhorn? We do have sponsors. Oh, shit. And this week it's Casper.

Shout out to them.

Yes, we have one. We have a Casper. It's fucking amazing. Do you get it because of the advertisements on the trains? No, I hate the advertisements on the trains. They're like... No, you don't. No, no, no. Look, look, look. I'm kind of inherently a sort of whimsical person.

Yeah.

But there's something about, like, the narrative of the cartoons that bothers me. Like, I try to reason with it. I feel like in general, when I see ads on the subway, like, I'm trying really hard not to have to, like, interact with someone. So I'm, like, just getting deep into it. Like, what was the company? The company with the shitty logo that made us really mad? No.

No. Handy. Handy. The handy logo. Terrible logo. It has like, oh, look, we made the H and the Y and we flipped their amount. It's like, dog. But anyway, Casper, their subway-based print advertisement aside, which is actually, you know, classy and well-made for what it is, just me personally. I'm kind of, you know, not feeling it. But as a mattress, yes. Spot on. Oh, it's incredible. You guys can sleep through the night. Yeah, yeah. And actually... It's legit the best mattress I've ever slept on. We got that via word of mouth. Do you really want to know the story about how I found the Casper mattress thing?

I was Instagram lurking a guy that I used to date and he had a post about it and I was like,

what's this?

And that's why we have the Casper mattress.

2015, guys. What a time. I don't know. 2015, guys.

What a time.

Let me just say we have Karen Rose and Nick Catchdubs here.

Because this is a food podcast, we should probably say that we got a text from Karen last
