All right, we are back. This is a recap episode of the 2024 Hard Rock 100, joined by friends and

0:06.0

colleagues, Leah Yingling and Brett Hornig. I wish we were recording a couple minutes ago because

0:10.6

we were just talking about the merits of a place that I want to see come to Salt Lake called

0:15.6

Arawan. I don't know if people in the audience know Ayrwam, but apparently it is nowhere spelled

0:20.4

backwards and it's this like boutique grocery store. Leah and Brett had strong know if people in the audience know airwam, but apparently it is nowhere spelled backwards,

0:20.9

and it's this like boutique grocery store. Leah and Brett had strong feelings. What do you,

0:25.6

like Brett, what do you think? Is it worth it? Not worth it? Well, I mean, it's clearly worth it

0:30.8

to people who are willing to sip the Arawan Kool-Lade. I've never been to one personally. Finn, would you seriously

0:40.1

ever actually go in there and buy something? That's what I want to know. Finn and Jules,

0:44.2

they have envelopes that they hash out their money into. So Finn shops with like dollar

0:49.8

0:53.5

his envelope of $10 to go shopping because I don't think it would happen.

0:58.3

on food. Like prior to, you know, Jules coming into my life, I had an addiction to the Whole Foods hot bar

1:10.7

and would go

1:11.2

pretty much every day. I lived like two feet away from it in downtown Salt Lake for a year.

1:16.0

I do have a food allowance now. I'm on a very strict budget, and it's one of the things that

1:20.0

we've had to reconcile in our marriage to date. Yeah, if it wasn't for Jules, I'd still be blowing money. And if it was Arawon, I would even, I'd be even in like a bigger hole.

1:29.9

So come to Salt Lake, but maybe don't come to Salt Lake Airwine.

1:35.0

Or you'd be eating like once every three days.

1:39.1

I know.

1:40.3

This better be super nutrient tense.
