Season 1 Finale - Bad Products Tournament

Hooo boy folks we made it! This is the season 1 finale of Bad Products, we take all the bad products we've talked about in the last 15 episodes and pit them against one another to determine what the worst product of them all is! But we haven't yet determined that, and will be asking the listeners to determine the winner! Vote on the matchup from the quarterfinals here (https://forms.gle/Co6NA3TRw7LjMPPD7), we'll announce the winner next week! Also don't fret, we'll be back with season 2 soon enough!

Sorry we've been gone for a sec! But we have returned with a darn vengeance! We talk through the products of animals, the entirety of the process of using a TV remote/on-TV buttons, and the fallacy that is adhesives. Enjoy!

Bread Bag Sealing Technology and Notifications/The General Problem with Digital Products

Esplicito
Wow we are really getting cooking on Bad Products! We were planning to do 4 products but only got through 2 because we were having so much fun! First half is pretty fun approachable physical product chatter, we get kinda in the weeds in terms of product talk in the second half so there's something for everyone! Subscribe, and follow us on instagram and tiktok @badproductspodcast and DM us with bad product suggestions!

Autocorrect and United Basic Economy (slash United Airlines in general)

Esplicito
Folks, we have a banger on our hands! We were only able to get through two bad products because we had so much to complain about, we talk about autocorrect, which we've decided is kinda the original bad product, and Pete tells a harrowing story of United Airlines delivering bad product after bad product when trying to come home from a wedding. Follow us on instagram and tiktok @badproductspodcast, DM us bad product suggestions or bad autocorrect experiences.

Printers, Boxed Water and Time

Esplicito
This was fun! Boxed Water courtesy of listeners Keven and Danielle, Time courtesy of listener Wyatt. We shout out Oat Milk as a great product at the start of this so if anyone knows an oat milk company that wants to sponsor us, feel free to let them know about us. We have a new audio setup that Sam is excited about so hope it sounds nice and everyone likes it. Follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @badproductspodcast, if you have a suggestion for a bad product DM us on IG!

Electric Stoves and Hotels

Esplicito
We skewer the fat cats at Big Hotel for not getting with the frickin program and offering super expensive, not good amenities for way too much. Also new theme song made by listener Jordan Thewlis! If we get a better one we might replace it but we like it for now. Follow us on instagram and tiktok @badproductspodcast, DM us if you have a suggestion for a bad product that you want to hear discussed!

LIGHTNING ROUND EPISODE #1

Esplicito
This is a special one! In the lightning round, Pete and Sam each come with 5 bad products to discuss each, with a limit of 2 minutes for each BP. These are lesser/more straightforward BP's relative to normal, but that doesn't mean they cant be as devilishly infuriating as one of the previously discussed big dog BPs. Enjoy! Follow us on Instagram @badproductspod, TikTok @badproductspodcast, if you have Bad Products you want to hear discussed on the podcast DM them to us on Instagram.
