All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Tomboy Elitism and the New Year Industrial Complex
Thu, 23 Jan 2025
Is it possible for a canned cocktail, once opened, to retain its fizz for an entire summer? This isn't a question typically pondered in the hallowed halls of academia, but it's precisely the kind of delightful mystery that unravels in this episode of All the Feelings. Pete and Tommy embark on a conversational odyssey that spans the spectrum of human experience, from the surprisingly complex world of condiments to the existential angst of a cherished New Year's Eve tradition.But if you're reading this, you're not getting the whole thing! Our supporting Feeling Friends get the full score because they visited allthefeelings.fun and signed up to support us, get their own private member feed of our complete archive, and help us keep food on the table and shoes on our feet. See, you might go to work and make money and then eat because your boss pays you. Feeling Friends are OUR boss. You want to be someone's boss, right? It'll be fun! And thank you in advance for your bossiness!
hi friends hi friends hi feeling friends welcome to the all the feelings break check number three already number three can you believe it yeah yeah it's all downhill from here uh-huh toward our new season which we're still not talking about because you won't let me that's right
we have so much on the docket that we have to decide before we make any announcements a lot i saw that you just released the teaser feed to the yeah what i call the cheapos just kidding we love them we love you even if you're not feeling friends yeah we thank you but i like how you uh we just started talking about coffee things and you're like and it's me
You do like a vocal rug pull and you're like, did you notice that this was only 11 minutes long?
You think we tried all of those coffees in 11 minutes? Nope. And you probably noticed that I was not at my best during that. I feel like I listened to it again and I was like, oh, that's the sound of a guy who's given up. That's the sound of a guy who just got out of like a trauma bonding self-help group.
Wait, do you mean during the coffee episode?
No, my part after the Kodak. Oh, I liked it. I thought it was fun. No, I just sounded sad. I did not sound like I really... Give me your dollars, please, or I'm going to cry in front of you.
Did you just come down from all the coffee?
All the horrible Twinkie coffees? It's been a month. Yeah. Drink your Twinkie coffee.
I have a special Feeling Friends episode question to ask you. Have you ever gone back to something that we've tried? Saucy sauces, hot sauces, bean. I'm thinking maybe that bean dip that you and Mandy were so gaga about that I thought tasted like nothing. Have you ever like re-bought anything? Because I don't think I have. Crazy sodas?
No. You don't have like a weird. I've never done that. A moxie fridge? No. So I think what's important to know about those things is that I now know if offered one of those foods, which one to say yes to.
But I don't think I'm ever going to go out and actively buy them again, mostly because, one, the category of food that I would absolutely buy again, I don't have access to, which is the hot sauces. Right. Oh, because I got them at a fancy. But I now know kind of what I can tolerate and what I like, so I can buy something similar.
But no, I've never gone back and bought Twinkie coffee or canned mixed drinks.
Right.
And all of those. Here's the thing, though. This is an interesting thing. I never poured orange juice in my mixed drinks. There's some of them still sitting on the shelf.
I have put those in the fridge from time to time throughout the summer and I would drink them and I pop one open because it's a blistering hot day and I sit out on the deck and Kira would just watch me complain about how bad they are. And but I would still drink them. Because, wait, so you did buy more of those? I did not buy more.
I just never got rid of the ones that I had from the last year's event. But how did they stay fizzy? Their hands. They stay fizzy for generations, Tom. Wait. What?
But you opened them, drank some, put the open can back in the refrigerator. No.
What? What is happening right now? I bought, like, they all came in, like, four packs. Oh.
I forgot that. I was putting them, like, in dip categories where you just get one. Right. You don't just buy, like, one weird lime margarita thing. That's right. Okay. That's right, because I just got rid of them all. Oh, no, because I – You took them to an event or something. Because I took them to Mandy. Yeah, right.
So she had like this, and then I like threw the rest out on the side of my car or something like that. That's right.
Yeah. Okay. But you had to – Have you – You, I imagine, have never done any go-back.
No. I would do hot sauce, but I don't – I'm not going to go to a place to buy hot sauce.
Yeah.
But I – Condiments. Condiments. are having a real windfall. Has your... I feel like the condiment section in my... I don't know if I've ever mentioned that I shop at Ralph's. Oh, Ralph's. Oh, honestly, two of the three doors to Ralph's were blocked because the winds were too strong. You could only come in one door. That's how strong winds are. We don't know how to handle it.
Those are so strong.
Yeah, no, that's clear. Because it would just blow the savings right out the door. The amount of...
Sorry, can you please call somebody and make sure that they know that that tagline is yours because somebody will come up with it because it's so brilliant and you did it first.
I'd blow all the savings up.
Those Santa Ana wins blow the savings right out the door. I'm sorry. I'm getting very excited about your marketing.
No, I appreciate it. The amount of different condiments has exploded. Tell me about this. Well, it used to be like mayonnaise. And now there's like 19 different kinds of mayonnaise and brands of mayonnaise. And all the restaurants have now released their own. Like Chick-fil-A has an entire stand of just sauces. In your Ralph's? Yeah. And I assume it's all... That's my new character.
He's Bart Muppet. It's got to be a Kroger thing, but like... I just feel like we used to have like five sauces and now there's all of them. There's so many sauces.
Do you think Kraft Heinz started the explosion with saucy sauce? That people saw saucy sauce and just were like, oh my God. A little bit of math genius has come out of the labs at Kraft Heinz.
Yeah. It might be like how that one – All the feelings that I did about fast food. Oh, gluttony. How KFC, I think, started the insanity.
The double down. Double down, yeah.
Yeah, with the instead of bread, let's just have more fried chicken. And then they give you a cup filled with fried chickens again.
Here's a thing that I don't think we said that surprises me only just now. Kraft Heinz, in the wake of saucy sauce, why didn't they rebrand to Krines? Wow.
Like the sound of a company committing suicide. It's just capitalism for no reason. Crimes. I guess it doesn't sound like a fun word to say. Craft.
So funny.
Craft. Yeah. Craft. That sounds like a community person agreeing to something in a meeting.
A raft. Or a... Classic. Anyway. Look at those... It's fun. Sometimes you say things on a podcast and you think immediately that's going to get cut. Yeah.
You've legitimately cut out things that I've said before. And I was like, yeah, it was a good call. It was a good call. I mean, it's nothing too scandalous, but just sort of like I talk too fast. Yeah. And my brain is slightly behind my mouth. And sometimes I talk about like, I think there was one I made a joke about. You were like, goodbye. Why would that be in a sometimes funny podcast?
Goodbye. And I agreed. Oh, hi, it's me, everybody. It's Pete, the guy you were just listening to make jokes and cracks about, you know, funny sauces. And now I'm here to tell you, if you're hearing this, you're not getting the rest of the show. I know. I know. It breaks my heart, too.
But what you're not hearing that the supporting members of the show are feeling friends are hearing is you're not hearing a deep dive expose. on the New Year's Eve industrial context. That's right. It starts with a conversation about resolutions, stuff we didn't know. And then, oh, my God, what's going on with the Times Square New Year's ball? I'm going to say it. Times Square New Year's balls.
That's right. This is a multi-ball conspiracy that has been foist upon us by the New Year's industrial complex. And we had to get to the bottom of it. So that's what you're missing out on. And it's, I might say it, it's sometimes funny. So it lives up to the promise of this show. There you go. In order to do that, you have to head over to allthefeelings.fun, become a supporting member.
This show, the support from our members is what keeps this show alive, keeps us coming back for our usual routine. We do two seasons a year. We'd love you to be a part of each and every one of them, plus all of these ridiculous breaks and our trailer archive and all of that stuff. We're going to be telling you what our next season is. is going to be next month in February.
So when the February member episodes drop, members will find out what our upcoming theme is. We're very excited to tell everybody. There's still a lot of work to be done. So bear with us. It's coming. And on that note, thanks, everybody. Happy Feeling Friends Day. That's today. I'm not even going to tell you what day it is that I'm recording this, but it's Feeling Friends Day.
And make sure you get your plans in order. Bye.
