Ep. 275 – Seven Year Itch

The hosts discuss Erik and Dennis reaching the podcast’s seven-year anniversary, then riff on prime numbers, including Erik’s “prime ages” idea for his family and Dennis using counting primes to fall asleep. They debate an old marketing adage about not knowing which advertising works, contrasting brand influence with modern ad tracking. Dennis describes managing diabetes with a continuous glucose monitor, frustrations with insurance and doctors not being data-driven, and Erik’s interest in tracking health stats. They review the TV series “DTF St. Louis,” praising its nuanced, nonlinear storytelling, relationships among characters, and key scenes involving sexuality and shifting perspectives. Erik also recounts a failed fiber installation and unexpectedly helping neighbors by flushing a pigeon out of their apartment.
