Iocaine Powder, Shark Socks, and the Pepto-Bismol Gauntlet
Description
Eric’s stomach might be in distress, but his imagination is firing on all cylinders. In this episode, he and Todd explore everything from obscure medication metaphors to deep-seated shark trauma—and somehow still have room for sock-based hacks and Princess Bride references.
Pepto Infinity Stones: Eric wonders aloud—has anyone completed the full Pepto-Bismol symptom gauntlet? And if so, are they okay?
Socks and Swagger: Why buy ankle socks when your kid’s crew socks (with sharks on them) fit just fine? Bonus: taunting your 8-year-old about it.
Funko Shark Attack: Todd nearly buys Eric a boat-eating shark figurine. He resists. Barely.
Bruce Trauma: Eric is slowly, strategically desensitizing himself to Jaws, which still sparks actual anxiety. But hey, live-streamed exposure therapy might help.
Pants Time & Podcast Lore: The episode closes with an impromptu glossary of TodCast phrases—from “pork chops” to “pants” to possible future Easter eggs.
Bonus Insight: The shark in Finding Nemo is named Bruce as a nod to Jaws. You’re welcome.
If you like podcasts that blend anxiety, nostalgia, inside jokes, and gastrointestinal honesty—you’ve found your people.
