– it’s recently been revealed that the grimace of mcdonald’s fame is actually a giant taste bud made to show that mcdonald’s food is good. he’s hugged children. does this mean that the grimace has been tasting children, and with that, possibly developed a taste for human flesh? will we one day be the happy meal? nothing can kill the grimace.
– anyone else want a nap?
– aside from some of the food, why does the south suck so much?
– why does is are then but how

Simply Having a Wonderful Podcast

QUICK HITS
caleb and rafe both had pretty damn good weeks. some wedding stuff, pokemon go community day, and a SUPER SECRET SPECIAL WORK PROJECT. but caleb also had some sucky stuff like migraines and taxes and a covid bummer. rafe had happy times with brony, a new friend, ketokey factory bakery, mistletoe mixup, and OSHA. HAPPY MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE.

HIGH LOWS/SMILES AND CRIES
rafe’s high-low
high: all the good things
low: watching derek

caleb’s high-low
high: pokemon with the furies
low: vitamin d low

HOT HOT TOPICS
– do you want a lot for christmas or is there just one thing you need? do you care about the presents underneath the christmas tree?
– owen wilson
– is mistletoe curable by antibiotics, or is surgery required?
– what was your favorite part of the office christmas party? was it the 20 year old who showed up drunk, the co-worker that got drunk and slept with a sleazy contractor, your office manager almost getting in a fist fight in the casino, the 60 year old RN putting a banana hammock on over his suit, or the grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters?
– what OT level is baby jesus?
– I keep making sure to stay as miserable as possible and remove any possible joy from my life, but for some reason that just makes me more miserable. clearly this is the fault of both capitalism and america.
– my brother is watching my animals over christmas vacation. if my son’s goldfish dies while we’re away, does my brother have to pay for the funeral?
– if santa knows everyone in the world, does he know the identity, and whereabouts of one cotton eye joe? no one seems to know where he came from, or where he went. the manhunt continues.

HIGH LOWS/SMILES AND CRIES
rafe’s high-low

HOT HOT TOPICS
– if you had to pick a body part to set on fire before attacking your hated rival with it, which part and why?
– do you think I would get in trouble if I ominously told one of my customers that “I know where you live, I know where you sleep” even though I am a mailman and its my job
– is walking up behind a coworker, inhaling deeply, and saying “you smell better when you’re asleep” a power move or a risky move?
– how do I fax a hug
– all good ideas are made gooder when you just keep bolting shit on into infinity, ESPECIALLY when other people have to implement it
– does nostalgia ruin embracing new experiences for what they are or do they allow a perspective that others may not have?
– have either of you ever played conkers bad fur day? and if so what’s your opinions on the weird bosses like the great mighty poo?
– why do all the instant soup companies insist on putting fucking parsley in the soup
– maruchan or top ramen?
– when do you prefer using dried herbs and spices vs fresh (for the flavor, not convenience)? most recipes I see offer alternate measurements for both. for example, does dried parsley vs fresh serve a preferred purpose in flavor?

HOT HOT TOPICS
– why does my boss keep adding me to meetings when I have a project due today?
– I tried training someone yesterday and the office is taking bets on whether we ever see them again. is this better or worse than the last trainee that we literally brought to tears in the office, but she still works here?
– I’m locked in a room with 25 bored teenagers with no phones or computers allowed for them. how do I decide which one to eat first in a donner party situation?
– what was the best and worst part of caleb abandoning the podcast for entire weeks? (phrasing mine and does not constitute the opinion of RaHaCa or its sponsors)
– celebrities love going to big time news events, and we all know that keanu reeves likes to take public transportation, from a scale of “heinous” to “whoa”, how worried should you be seeing both keanu and sandra bullock at a bullet train opening?
– inspiration taken from randomizer-stuff. what do you think a person’s toast preference says about their personality?
