Hotline Feature – Buy or Sell: Bread Machines, Bronze-Age Bad Reviews, and Celebrities in Space
Dave Weekley, Coop, Ryan, and Matt dive into another spirited edition of Buy or Sell that swings from kitchen chaos to ancient customer service. Matt starts with a war on bread machines, arguing they’re the most disappointing appliance ever made. Ryan follows with a hilarious history lesson on the oldest known customer complaint tablet — a Bronze Age man furious over bad copper and rude service. Coop closes with a big-picture proposition: whether today’s celebrity joyrides into space will eventually lead to cheaper, accessible flights for everyone. The crew wraps with a lightning round on free beer and ice cream as a college sports attendance booster.
