Boba not Bobba

On S2 E27, it is Archie's 1st Birthday and Susie birthday buddies with Archie. Ed made a cake of Archie's face or at least tried to.  Susie's birthday is the day before Archie's but 300+ dog years before Archie. Susie didn't do anything for her birthday but did send her mother flowers. Ed had a great first time in Hawaii eating all the foods and drinking gallons of coconut water while there to try to avoid getting gout.  Ed didn't get to watch the film festival.  Ed gives Susie a gift from Hawaii.  Susie's ex-husband's mother used to have itineraries planned full every day.  Ed ate garlic shrimp, shaved ice, mochi donuts, malasadas, and more; otherwise just hung out by the pool and beach. French-Canadians try to appropriate boba by calling their brand Bobba which is technically Bob-ah on the Canadian show Dragon's Den with guest Simu Liu. Then the founders of Bobba claim that boba is "not ethnic anymore" and that they invented "popping boba" which has been around for 10 years and that they make natural boba compared to the unknown substances in Asian-made boba. The other dragon, Manjit Minhas invests in Bobba regardless of Simu's advice and gets backlash and responds by putting out the worst "statement" video.  Ed made a similar call out of another boba company who called themselves "Better Boba" last year and made another video following the fall out of Bobba.  White people in the UK successfully trademark the word "pho". Panda Express collabs with Hot Ones and Susie loves the last dab sauce. A listener writes in - following up about the niece who didn't take care of her cats and was disrespectful while living with them.  UPCOMING LISTENER WRITE-IN: Please write in with any questions, advice, or stories.
