I Eat My Slop Bowl on Company Time - Video Episode
Added 2024-08-13 23:03:01 +0000 UTCThe girlies break down the establishments that plague our neighborhoods and corporatize our lunch hours: fast casual restaurants. From Cava to Chipotle, have we really elevated fast food or just made it more expensive? Digressions include a petty gripes section, the Olympics of transvestigation, and tens of thousands of rewards points.
*As an end-of-tour gift to our wonderful patrons we decided to put this video ep out for all the tiers! Love you <3 *

2024-08-26 13:20:24 +0000 UTCi unfortunately love chipotle. i went through a depressive episode at my small liberal arts school (rural area, genuine food desert) where i ate it three times a week because it was one of the only things i could genuinely look forward to. to this day, i eat it so often that i get free entrees every now and then. im not sure what the point of me sharing this is just wanted to share an alternative to the finance bro experience.
syd
2024-08-26 13:18:33 +0000 UTCAlso wanted to share that something I’ve seen a lot in Austin (highly newly gentrified city 🙄) is a lot of small local food trucks that used to be affordable… become brick and mortar stores and start franchising and give the same vibes as chipotle/cava/sweet green but are STILL marketed as local! Bc it started here… when it’s just as corporate and soulless as the rest.

2024-08-24 20:06:45 +0000 UTCTruly. Coming from TX to NYC i was kinda 👀 about the Mexican food but it’s so dependent on if u go to a family owned restaurant in queens vs a huge ugly awful place in Manhattan it’s gunna be a diff vibe! There IS amazing Mexican food in NYC u gotta look for it

2024-08-22 18:15:05 +0000 UTCThe same exact thing happened to me with Verizon. Gave me a fake phone number that needed verification to let me pay my bill. Spent hours on texts and call chats and had to pay my Verizon bill in person at a store for two months. Fuck Verizon

Adrienne
2024-08-17 16:33:27 +0000 UTCHi Ladies as a DC native who was in middle school and early high school during the reign of Sweetlife I must tell you. It was a HUGE deal to go to sweetlife especially once they moved it to the larger venue in MD. People would talk about it for weeks and only the coolest girls in my grade would go (never me :() I remember everyone seeing the 1975 and being so fucking jealous in 8th grade. When I was finally old enough to go, they stopped having it and started having a “block party”

2024-08-17 15:08:26 +0000 UTCI actually work as a marketing director for a fast casual brand in California so this IDENTIFIES with me. If you ever want a follow up episode I’d love to speak on how sinister this industry is!
Nicole Beaumont
2024-08-17 13:55:33 +0000 UTCI love the pod but the silence on the boycotts is truly disappointing. What other social issue of similar relevance would Eliza and Julia not speak on? It’s a political podcast and as such your silence is very loud. We are talking about a genocide and an apartheid state here- 70,000 bombs, 40,000 dead. I know you guys can do better

Emily
2024-08-14 23:47:22 +0000 UTCOn bespoke capitalism: when Julia mentioned her tweezers are personalized and she named them “Julia’s Tweezers”, I heard “Julius Tweezers”, which probably is brilliant but who knows bc I am high af and will now pay $40 to Door Dash my “custom” Cantina Chicken Bowl. Victory.
Erin Crook
2024-08-14 21:20:24 +0000 UTCwhy yes! I was desperate to attend sweetlife circa 2012-2014, my mom always said no 💔
maya
2024-08-14 21:00:22 +0000 UTCAlso literally the transvestigating of this boxer is another facet of racism too because women of colour are constantly being told they aren’t feminine enough or “look like a man”

maggie w
2024-08-14 15:35:37 +0000 UTComg i had a washer/dryer combo machine in my first nyc apartment and when it kept not fully drying my clothes, I called the company to see if something was wrong with it. They said “oh it’s more of a dehumidifier rather than a dryer. if you want your clothes fully dry you should run the dry cycle again” like WHAT?? why do you call it a washer/dryer then?? 😭 also one time the lock malfunctioned after my clothes finished washing so I couldn’t open the door and the repair guy couldn’t come for like 2 days so my clothes got ruined by mildew. if you have one of these units it’s best to just wash you clothes and hang them up, or only dry very small loads 🥴

Lia Merkowitz
2024-08-14 02:47:45 +0000 UTCI really think you guys should do a whole episode on the olympics because the modern olympics are so divorced from the ancient olympics and were (based on my limited research) created more as a masculinizing agent than anything else
