Where I'm from, Big Red was the bubble gum of choice instead of Trident Cinnamon. It’s just as you’d imagine - bright red, bold flavor, with a bit of heat. Quite tasty!
"And by snack, I mean a handful of Doritos hastily consumed while hunched over the sink like a giant raccoon." I laughed so hard at this! 😆 (I think because I've done potato chips in the pantry!)
Reading: Lots of grad party invites. Did NOT realize that these were meant for parents as well. I'm married to someone that says "yes" to everything. Oof.
I was tempted to chime in with "Jodeci are awesome!" But then I realized I was confusing them with K-Ci and JoJo. Because they were from the same era and have "ci" and "jo" in their group name 😆 and the latter had the amazing very romantic slow dance song "All My Life." Love how you tied in Jodeci with cinnamon gum!
K so I have more thoughts than usual about this High Five.
1) I am with you on the snacking, giant raccoon, and gum thing. I'm out of gum and I might level the whole neighborhood with my hangry.
2) I am going to have to check this app! Do you know if it integrates and updates with the apple fitness + strength workouts? Because that would be SICK.
3) We watched this recently, too, because my husband heard Jason Segel on Armchair Expert, I think. It was a pretty funny movie and the schlong scene was iconic. Thankfully (or not?) it was a prosthesis. 😉

I love Big Red! It's the best cinnamon gum. Trident just happened to be what my wife bought. :)

LOL! Potato chips are just too damn tasty to go ignored.

Watching: Cold Case reruns. Yes, really.
Listening: Ivy's "Apartment Life"
Chewing: Wrigley's 5 Cobalt gum
Nothing worse than social engagements where you only sorta know the hosts. Good luck!
Thanks! I think I'm gonna need it.

K-Ci and JoJo ARE Jodeci... (along with a couple other guys)! :D
All My Life is a top tier love song.
My mind is blown, I learned something! Thx Eric for setting me straight. Now I feel even more like a confused old person but that's ok ☺️
I don't remember which came first. I think Jodeci was first, and then they split off and did K-Ci and JoJo.
DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin are brothers, as are K-Ci and Jo-Jo. The siblings performed as separate duos first, then came together, then split up.
Source: One of my girlfriends in HS was REALLY into R&B. Like, a lot.
P.S. Just learned (on Medium) that Mr. Dalvin dated T-Boz from TLC, and that he was the likely inspiration behind their hit, "Creep."
Thanks for the background--I shouldn't be surprised you'd know it, regardless of the source. LOL!
Oh man do I love learning stuff from Substack! Great info as always Kevin!

Strong does integrate with Apple Fitness and Health, not sure about Strength? Never used it.
RE: Segel's dong.. that is not a prosthesis. 🙃 https://ew.com/movies/2019/02/06/forgetting-sarah-marshall-nude-scene/
What?! 😱 why did I think it was? Now I wish I’d looked closer 😂😂😂😂
LOLOLOL
POV husband comes down to see me sitting in front of the TV which is paused and zoomed in on Jason Segel’s dong 😂😇
