While this guy was trying to use parchment paper, he came across the craziest life hat.

Hey, we're recording the podcast.

What's it crazy?

Good morning to you, wherever you are, because it is, morning somewhere.

Or January 6, 2026.

My name is Bernie Burns sitting right over there. She's working on her life hacks.

Dash Burns. I had to ask everybody. Every now and again, I do come across the life hack that I'm like,

this is useful. Like, I saw one really recently that going around that if you shake soy sauce in a

store and it bubbles at the top, that means it's good.

If it doesn't bubble, it's been like watered down or had other stuff added to it.

And I was like, that's actually really useful to know. You know, like how you can knock on a watermelon or something and know if it's a good watermelon. There are good life hacks out there. And then there's like, have you considered making things harder than they need to be to make it look like it's easier than it is?

Dude, I cannot tell you the number of two ingredients. Like, have you considered making things harder than they need to be to make it look like it's easier than it is?

Dude, I cannot tell you the number of two ingredient recipes that I've looked at that

have like 12 ingredients.

Like, apparently everything that isn't, that's like all spices don't count as an ingredient,

right?

That's the other thing with recipes, though, is they're also like, you can make this in 10 minutes, and you look at the recipe list, and it's like, take diced potato, and so I'm like, I had to dice those potatoes. That's another five minutes. Right, exactly right. So it takes 10 minutes once I've done all the pre-work. Also, I do, there's a couple things I'd like. Expiration dates continue to vex me. There should be a standard place to put a goddamn expiration date. You know, I'm okay with that because packaging varies so much. But make it obvious, like, there should be a... It's like, it's one of the most important things, and it's why you look at, like, if you drink the same thing or eat the same thing all the time, you look at the package

after the first two times you bought it just to find the expiration date. It's like the only

information I look for on some packages is the expiration date, right? Right. The other thing is,

in the U.S. at least, they have the ingredients, you know, and they're listed in order of how much they are.

I think they should just have a line, like everything that's a, like once you get below like 90%,

then everything above that is boldface.
