This week kicks off with me hopping on my soap box to talk about high prices at the competition that I experienced during my leave this summer. Don't worry, I'm still mad about having to pay almost $10 for a bottle of body wash that is 3.99 here. Jump past the ranting about 15 minutes into the show to get to the main focus. Speaking of, the main focus this week is a new product to Jungle Jim's, from one of the coolest groups of people in town - Mom 'N' Em coffee! They've got two locations in the Cincinnati area and we're one of the best places to come pick up their beans to make it at home. We sit down with the Ferrari Bros, Austen and Tony, as well as their brilliant roaster Colin to talk about all aspects of the coffee business. From Tony and Austen building the space for their first location and all the changes that went in there, from the incredibly detailed discussion from Colin about how your beans get to be as good as they are. We talk about some of their seasonal flavors and some upcoming offerings as well. I got so cranked up on coffee, I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but obviously not enough to not-type it into this episode description. GET SOME BEANS ALREADY!

This week, we're ready to launch into fall vibes and flavors and we're trying a ton of fall-themed treats in the store:

Little Debbie Brownie Pumpkins
Coastalo THC Soda - Pumpkin Spice
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Coffee Drink
Pop Daddy Dutch Apple Pie Pretzels
Jungle Jim's Pumpkin Gummies
Wafer Master Rolls - Pumpkin Spice (from Turkey)
Jelly Belly Pumpkin Pie and Pumpkin Juice
Better Butter - Pumpkin Spice Butter
Tootsie Caramel Apple lollipop
Doh Joy Vanilla Wheat Bread
Liquid Death Psycho Cider

We're joined by former employee of Jungle and current employee of Dr. Pepper, Pat, as it's his last week with all of us before he takes a new career path in Washington - lets wish him well!

We are SO back! This week, Lucky joins me on the show to help parse through some of our most interesting Japanese snacks and products. Do you think we are going to love the little hamburger shaped cookies? What about Pocari Sweat? Jungle Jim's has so many wild products we will experience the heat death of the universe before we try them all. What are some of your favorite international items that you'd like us to try?
