Both Vinnie and Anna deal with the internet and marketing "grift." (3:00) How can you avoid the grift? AI adds to the grift because of AI-created content. (13:00) Vinnie always tries to be mindful about screen time, and now, because of the constant grift, he's trying even harder. He's also got long days in the car planned and sets himself up for success while on the road. (16:00) Olive Oil products and blends. (25:00) They discuss canola oil and sunflower oils. Both go through a heating process that makes them inflammatory. Adding a small percentage of olive oil isn't going to make them better. Notice how you feel after consuming them. Many people don't even realize how they feel because they are eating so many processed foods that they are unaware of the differences. (31:00) Prices are all going up, across the board. (34:00) Anna plans to go back to direct-to-consumer on the East Coast due to shenanigans by grocery stores. They play a hilarious clip of an SNL skit about biohackers and grifting to expound on the idea. (36:00) More discussion of well-known grifter-type influencers. The beverage industry has expanded way beyond sodas, too. "Protein sodas" are becoming popular, but they really are just nonsense. Anna noticed one in particular that claims to boost GLP-1.
