Ep. 282 – Who Washes The Washers?

The hosts discuss Erik's tech conference in Portugal, describing travel to Coimbra, a shipping-container “box” hotel, and stumbling into the university’s huge graduation party with floats, capes, heavy drinking, and chaotic streets. Erik shares two customer-service contrasts: a local shopkeeper who let him take a beer on trust despite having no cash, and a restaurant that took two hours to serve goat stew. Dennis then recounts buying tiny washers at a hardware store and debates returning an extra one, plus home-sale renovations involving uncovering/downsizing a window potentially blocked by a split AC unit. Dennis also details The Mojo Riot's successful pre-show gig in Grand Rapids that grew from a sparse start to 200+ people, crowd banter during “I Wanna Be Sedated,” brief politics commentary, and TV/film talk including “Half Man” and “Saltburn,” ending with Erik’s upcoming Amsterdam trip.
