Sliced bread, known for being tasty.

Thymus for being the best thing since it's all, I guess, nobody thinks much about it,

so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why sliced bread is secretly incredibly fascinating. Hey, hey, hey there, folks, hey there, Cipelopods.

Welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is. My name's Alex Schmidt and I'm not alone because I'm joined by my co-host Katie Golden, Katie. Yes. What is your relationship to or opinion of sliced bread? I mean, I like it.

I am a big toast person.

Oh, yeah.

Italy is not the best place to be a sliced bread fan.

There's a lot of really amazing bread.

Not a lot of like amazing sliced bread, I got to say.

Oh, yeah.

In the U.S. you go to a grocery store and they have about 100 types of

sliced bread that you can get. That doesn't exist here. Some might say that it leads to a more

peaceful life where you're not always thinking about what kind of slice bread to get. But personally,

I like freedom. And to me, freedom is being able to choose between 100 different types of slice bread.

I learned a really interesting thing about slice bread a few weeks ago,

which is that if it smells like nail polish remover, it's, it is bad.

It has gone bad.

Nail polish remover. Yeah. So like it can have an acetone smell. I thought I was worried that I had like gone crazy or something. So I had Brett take a whiff of it. And he's like, that's awful. Why would you make me smell that? I was like, well, I was just checking. I'm like, going, losing it. Like that my nose isn't just suddenly decided that. I was like, well, I was just checking, sure I'm not going, losing it, like that my nose

just suddenly decided that bread smells like acetone. But yeah, it's, yeah, it was bad.

So that was something, I didn't realize that could happen to bread. I found that out because that

only happened a couple weeks ago. I'm on like a little hiatus from bread until the trauma of the weird smelling bread goes away.
