Ever gone back for seconds at a restaurant because the food was just that good? Bryan did, with a carnitas burrito that left him craving more. Hear about his mouth-watering experience with sweet pico de gallo and homemade tortillas, and why he takes a shot of salsa with every bite. This episode kicks off with this flavor-packed anecdote and flows into a lively chat about the quirky ways people enjoy food.
From favorite indulgences like Starburst-flavored sparkling ice drinks to the art of homemade iced coffee, we journey through various food trends and preferences.

Our discussion takes an insightful turn, reflecting on how our perspectives shape the way we view endings, whether it's the end of a day or the excitement of pre-vacation nights.
We then dive into the complexities of attachment, sparked by a viral story about a woman's overreaction at McDonald's.
