Small Talk - I’m Sad: Rebel Creamery Files Chapter 11 After an Ice Cream Beef
Rebel Creamery has filed for bankruptcy — they’ve gone chapter 11 after losing a legal battle with a rival ice cream company, and yeah, I’m sad about it because I loved their low carb ice cream. Spider man has passed the 2 billion dollar mark — the latest film starring Tom Holland pulled in over 2 billion at the global box office, so the web-slinger’s still got it. Disney’s planning massive park upgrades: a reimagined Tomorrowland (no timetable, classic Disney mystery) and a new Monsters Inc. Land at Disney World. A survey found 2/3 of Americans have an unofficial assigned seat at home, so apparently every couch has a deed and family warfare over cushions is real. Hotels.com survey says guests hate rude behavior and roaming pets, and some folks admitted to taking breakfast food, toiletries, even washing underwear in the room — gross but also wild. More than 3.2 million vehicles in the United States are under park outside recalls, so don’t stick them in the garage; models include some Jeep Wranglers, Grand Cherokees, and Kia Tellurides. Oh, and heads up: this 25th of August is National Couples Day (ask permission), it’s National Mail Order Catalog Day (celebrate now and again in 10 to 14 business days), and it’s National Pinot Noir Day — conveniently timed with kids going back to school, aka moms run the world.
Takeaways:
- I’m sad Rebel Creamery filed Chapter 11 after that legal beef over low-carb ice cream.
- We saw Spider-Man swing past two billion worldwide, Tom Holland’s web keeps the box office spinning.
- I joked Tomorrowland’s remodel has no timetable, but Monsters Inc. Land at Disney World sounds wild.
- We learned two-thirds of Americans have a claimed couch seat, and family fights over spots are hilarious.
- I’m grossed out listeners admitted stealing hotel breakfast and washing underwear in rooms, please just don’t.
- Heads up: more than three million vehicles recalled for fire risk, so we told y’all to park outside.

Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack time for small talk.
Speaker A:Rebel Creamery has filed for bankruptcy.
Speaker A:I'm sad to see this.
Speaker A:I loved their low carb ice cream.
Speaker A:They have filed for chapter 11 after losing a legal battle with a rival ice cream company.
Speaker A:Apparently even ice cream can have beef.
Speaker A:Spider man has passed the 2 billion dollar mark.
Speaker A:The latest Spider man film starring Tom Holland.
Speaker A:Over 2 billion at the global box office.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:So Spider man clearly has caught audiences in his web yet again.
Speaker A:Disney is planning major park upgrades at both of their parks.
Speaker A:They intend to massively reimagine Tomorrowland, although they've announced no timetable.
Speaker A:And Disney World is getting a new Monsters Inc. Land.
Speaker A:I love that they've announced Tomorrowland is getting remodeled with no timetable.
Speaker A:Tomorrowland getting remodeled someday feels pretty on brand A survey found 2/3 of Americans have an unofficial assigned seat at their home, and many argue with family members about someone taking their favorite spot.
Speaker A:Every family's got a chair that comes with a deed.
Speaker A:Apparently nothing can test a marriage like sitting on the wrong end of a couch.
Speaker A:A Hotels.com survey has found that guests dislike rude behavior and roaming pets.
Speaker A:And some admitted to taking breakfast food, grabbing toiletries and even washing underwear in the room.
Speaker A:Coffee maker Just like that hotel room coffee is ruined forever.
Speaker A:Now bringing your own travel mug feels like a medical necessity.
Speaker A:They need a miniature do not disturb sign to cover the coffee maker up with.
Speaker A:Poor coffee maker.
Speaker A:More than 3.2 million vehicles in the United States are under park outside recalls.
Speaker A:And what that is is don't put them in the garage because there's a potential for a spontaneous fire.
Speaker A:How lovely.
Speaker A:Models include some of the Jeep Wranglers, the Grand Cherokees, and the Kia Tellurides.
Speaker A:So if you own one of those, you might want to keep an eye on your mailbox in case you got one of those.
Speaker A:Keep outside recalls.
Speaker A:And lastly, this 25th of August is National Couples Day, so make sure you celebrate responsibly and ask permission from your significant other first before you celebrate.
Speaker A:It is National Mail Order Catalog Day.
Speaker A:So celebrate today and celebrate again in 10 to 14 business days.
Speaker A:And it's National Pinot Noir Day, which the fact that that's on the same week that kids return to school is the best proof yet that moms control the entire world.
