Dub: We’re powered by Leonard Truck Outfitters. Truck around and find out.
Cody: So Easter is coming up next month.
Dub: Yep.
Cody: And Snickers is celebrating with Snickers eggs.
Dub: Look, here’s what I need to know. Are they going to taste just like the regular Snickers? And the reason I ask is because the Reese’s eggs don’t taste the same.
Cody: Not the same.
Dub: Anytime Reese’s does the Reese’s eggs or the Reese’s Christmas trees or the Reese’s jack-o’-lanterns and all that stuff. First of all, they never look like what they’re supposed to be. They never look like Christmas trees or hearts or pumpkins or eggs or anything like that. And they don’t taste the same. So Snickers, if you’re going to do this, I need you to stay true to your taste.
Cody: I feel like I’ve had one of these before, so I don’t know if it’s new, but the eggs contain milk, chocolate, caramel, peanuts, and nougat.
Dub: I love the word nougat, by the way.
Cody: You would. It’s just a weird word. But check this out. I want to go to New York City just for this. There is a 10-foot Snickers chicken that’s laying free eggs.
Dub: I’m assuming the Snickers eggs. Free Snickers eggs. Yeah. If it was regular eggs, boy, there’d be people up there thick. Can you imagine though, if you went to New York and everybody’s like, hey Cody, you going to New York? What are you going for? Go to see the 10-foot chicken that lays Snickers eggs.
Cody: Yeah, that’s the only reason. Okay. And of course, we know that the NASA astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, recently returned to earth. They spent nine months stranded on the International Space Station. Glad to have them back safely. But they came back with some bizarre side effects.
Dub: I did see something about this yesterday.
Cody: Yeah. And I saw where they were having to like readjust to the gravity here on earth.
Dub: Yeah. Well, I also saw that they looked a lot older when they got back.
Cody: So apparently they also had temporary increase in height and leaner bodies. Okay.
Dub: Isn’t that weird? That is weird.
Cody: But apparently experts say it’s a common occurrence after extended space missions due to gene expression changes.
Dub: Okay.
Cody: And like I said, they have to readjust to earth’s gravity. And there is a former NASA astronaut that says it will take the astronauts months to readjust.
Dub: Okay. Can I tell you though? Part of me now wants to go to space because I’ve always wanted to be 6’2″.So like I, part of me now…
Cody: You want to come back taller.
Dub: If I can just go to the International Space Station for a couple of months, I might come back over six foot.
Cody: But it says it’s temporary. So don’t get your hopes up.
Dub: That’s right. Then I slowly start shrinking back to normal size.
Cody: It’s an expensive price to pay too to gain a few inches.
Dub: 100%. So DoorDash is teaming up with Klarna to allow customers to pay for food orders with four interest-free payments.
Cody: If you can’t afford your DoorDash and you need to do payments, you got to get your priorities in line.
Dub: That’s all I’m saying. Klarna will be integrated into the app, offering more payment flexibility. Customers can also make installment payments on groceries, electronics, and beauty products. Again, if you can’t afford DoorDash, don’t get DoorDash. Exactly. If you got to finance a quesadilla, okay, then you might not need to be ordering DoorDash.Also, what’s going to happen if you don’t make payments? They’re going to come repossess it?
Cody: Well, that’s what I was going to say. I feel like they’re going to wind up…
Dub: I mean, are they going to ding your credit score for that DoorDash payment you didn’t make?
Cody: That would be crazy.
Dub: Credit scores in the toilet because you forgot to make some payments on some chicken nuggets.
