Digest

The podcast begins with promotions for several other podcasts, including "2%" with Michael Easter, "Serving Pancakes" (volleyball), "NoGrip" (Formula 1), and "Mostly Human" (tech with Sam Altman). The discussion then shifts to the rising cost of snacks, specifically Doritos, and how this has led to a decline in Frito-Lay's sales. Frito-Lay plans a 15% price reduction, sparking debate about whether it's too late to save the brand. The latter half of the podcast features a pirate-themed trivia game called "X Marks the Spot," played in honor of Lil Nas X's birthday. The game includes questions about Captain Hook, Long John Silver, Captain Jack Sparrow's rivals, and Captain Crunch's nemesis.
