We run a fantasy snake draft of hygiene essentials with family stakes: once a product is drafted, the other hosts (and their households!) can’t use it. Deodorant flies off the board, conditioner and shampoo trigger debate, and one host claims all soap and later all bristle-based implements—sparking vetoes, loopholes, and glorious nonsense. We also tussle over baking soda-as-deodorant, types of wipes, and whether a water pick could ever replace a bidet (spoiler: please don’t). Key TakeawaysDefining “product” matters more than you think in a draft“Category hoarding” (e.g., all soaps) nukes strategy—expect vetoesWipes, water picks, and peroxide: the backup plans get weirdFamily needs change the board more than personal preferencesNever trust a host holding the veto duckFollow UsYouTube: https://youtube.com/@HumorHighwireInstagram: https://instagram.com/humor_highwireTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@humor.highwireSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/62nO2cKTIxkUXefD7GKqCEX (Twitter): https://x.com/HumorHighwire

SummaryWe play Delicious or Disaster, drafting three ingredients from a list built to break spirits: surströmming, century eggs, Marmite, chicken livers, frog legs, black-pit olives, artichokes, mushrooms, and lima beans. Ian aims for a hearty stew with frog legs, mushrooms, and chicken liver (bartering for potatoes). Justin builds a “strong but balanced” plate with artichokes, lima beans, and surströmming—and defends the infamous fish’s flavor over its smell. Points, pride, and palates are on the line.Key TakeawaysBold funk needs either equally bold foils or fatty carriers—bland sides rarely sufficeTexture management (bones, rubberiness, grit) makes or breaks “weird” proteinsBarter mechanics and constraints can produce surprisingly logical dishesSmell ≠ taste: some notorious foods are milder on palate than on noseFollow UsYouTube: https://youtube.com/@HumorHighwireInstagram: https://instagram.com/humor_highwireTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@humor.highwireSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/62nO2cKTIxkUXefD7GKqCETwitter/X: https://x.com/HumorHighwire
