160! Minding Your Business and Trash Candy

Where is the line between the honor of minding your own business and the honor of speaking up? And why do we buy things we know are trash? [28:49]

This week, Joey, Aaron and Jess talk about bowling within your bumpers, preference vs. morality, misplaced concern, the persistence of old candy, utility vs. nostalgia, and fidget spinners. They don’t talk about why black licorice is actually insanely good if you don't have a ridiculous bias against it and/or are Dutch (or from a former Dutch colony).
