Fat Tuesday Energy

from Shift Happened

It was Mardi Gras… and apparently some of you are decorating your entire house for it. Beads on the fence. Fleur-de-lis in the window. We respect the commitment. We also learned King Cake babies weren’t some ancient mystical tradition. They were basically a bakery accident that stuck. Now you find the baby, you buy the next cake. That’s how legends are born.Then we spiraled into “food porn” culture and how influencers are driving restaurants insane. Ring lights. Sound systems. Rearranging plates for the perfect viral shot. Meanwhile, one guy in Australia tried to scam a steakhouse by pulling out his own armpit hair and planting it on a finished tomahawk bone. And the restaurant comped the meal just to make him leave. Unreal.And finally… curling drama. Canadians dropping F-bombs at Swedes over an alleged finger tap on the stone. Accusations flying. Tape review threats. Somehow the “easiest sport” turned into the pettiest war on ice.Beads. Burgers. Brooms.Shift Happened. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
