Grocery store venting and the diaper ban
The hosts vent about grocery shopping: being sent for obscure brands, taking an hour and a half to find four or five items, and bringing home the wrong canned goods. One host explains how his wife banned him from the grocery store after he overspent on diapers chosen by packaging claims (the $14.79 wrong diapers; $100 spent versus her usual $60). They pitch personal in-store guides for clueless men, debate whether the squeaky wheel gets the grease, complain about drive-thrus, and trade Hardee's stories: good service at the Euclid Hardee's and a dozen free cinnamon-raisin-biscuit coupons from the closed Pleasant Hill Hardee's after complaining online. One host got his way at the Altoona Dairy Queen after the earlier on-air incident.
