This is your first episode of The Upside. Welcome. If you've been here before, welcome back.

Today is Thursday, September 14th. We are recording from 1022 studios at the Concourse.

My name is Jeff Dollar and today I am grateful for great weather.

My name is Kali Dollar and I am grateful for...

Oh, refrigerators. I'm grateful for the refrigerators. Let me tell you why.

That is a desperation grab. No, it's not. It's very important and here's why.

And I'll make you appreciate this by the time I finish. So I am in a thing where like I have

you know some coffee or like Monday I had a Chick-fil-A sugar-free lemonade and I didn't drink it all.

I just want it a little bit but I wanted to enjoy it throughout the week.

So I have started drinking like a fourth of a cup of coffee and putting like the rest of it in the fridge.

And then I don't know if you noticed but today I brought in my lemonade and it was from like Monday or Tuesday

and I've been sitting in the fridge and that would not be possible.

My cost efficient existence would not be possible without the help of a refrigerator.

Yeah, what did people do when they went through the Chick-fil-A drive-thru and got their Styrofoam cup of lemonade

before there was the convenience of at-home refrigeration?

I don't want to know a world where that doesn't exist.

It just got wasted and then somebody invented the icebox and here we are.

I actually thought you'd be impressed with me for doing that.

I just think it's like it's not.

But you seem really grossed out by it.

So you're like how long has that been in there? Like why?

How long has that been in there?
