Conflict in the Croc Tour Industry
There is a long-standing rivalry between two Croc Tour companies, Spectacular and Original, which dates back decades. Incidents of unsafe driving, close calls between the boats, and even boat swapping with full passenger loads have been reported. The conflicts eventually halted after intervention from authorities, but tensions still linger. Peace negotiations and a resolution are being considered to bring about a peaceful coexistence between the two companies.
The Smell of Deodorants
John, a physiotherapist, discovered a unique talent of being able to identify the brand of deodorant someone is wearing just by sniffing their armpit. He has tested his skill on the hosts of the podcast, correctly identifying the deodorant brands they were using. Although some humorous mishaps occurred, the skill demonstrated how different scents can be distinguished even within the same brand.

The hosts discuss the increasing prevalence of companies seeking reviews from customers for even the most mundane interactions and purchases.
