## Resource

Zac is back from exile (vacation), and we waste no time launching a conspiracy theory that the "Shop Sounds" podcast is inflating their giveaway numbers. We dive deep into "AI Psychosis" and the Mandela Effect—debating whether the seahorse emoji ever existed and if the Fruit of the Loom logo actually had a cornucopia (it did and Zac will fight anyone who says different). Eric shares his nightmare of trying to cut concrete expansion joints in his shop (creating an "atomic bomb" of dust), and we discuss "Exploding Tree" and “Frozen Fog” weather warnings that sound fake but are terrifyingly real. Plus, we break down proper movie theater etiquette and why Zac is building "invisible speakers" out of construction materials. Got questions?
