#238 - Boston Marathon 2026, First Merch Drop, & One Sided Beefs

MERCH - https://nonmembersshop.com/Welcome to Boston Marathon Weekend! We are back in our usual hotel, ordering the exact same Mexican food, and forcing ourselves out of the "editing cave" to socialize. Erin kicks off the episode by recounting her high stakes experience sitting in the airplane exit row, which included completely misunderstanding the safety card instructions ("See fire? Open door!").We officially announce our new merch drop and a chaotic "mystery trinket" tier where you receive a random item from one of our homes. We also detail our plan to walk around carrying a pair of Boston Marathon special edition Shokz headphones to randomly give away to any listener we spot in the wild. We then recap our trip to the Track at New Balance for the marathon relay, where our sole mission was to find the legendary Sausage Guy cart. This resulted in us texting Ali on the Run to confirm the food situation, marveling at our "one-sided beefs", and loudly booing Chris Chavez as he ran laps on the track.We also had the chance to talk with NYC Marathon Director Ted Metellus, getting his take on the Paris Marathon replacing water bottles with hoses and teasing some updates to "Project Finish." Finally, we investigate the "whimsical" band The Last Dinner Party after seeing their fans lined up in full Renaissance and pirate garb. We then describe our feelings on our live bonus episode podcast coming out this week. We go out on the streets on Boston Marathon day and talk about the vibes and the chaos.
