Fresh off our long weekend food coma, what better way to podcast than spending like half this episode ranking regional hot dogs? Add in some air conditioning strategy, a suburban fender bender, a $1500/month home lab, some brown mustard and a dash of celery salt, and you've got yourself a ramble.

We bought an older house a few years back. Massachusetts. Took some of the money from the sale of our condo and spent it on central air heat pump, traditional ductwork, one zone. Covers roughly 2500 sq feet. I've barely had to use our oil heat. In two years Ive used about a quarter tank, only had to turn it on when its under 0°F, and just a blast or two at strategiv times of day. And in the winter we keep our house around 67-70. Now, the price is cheaper than oil, but it's not cheap in winter. In the summer, were paying under 300 for all our electricity. Heat Pumps work in southern new england. They're worth it.

For whatever reason listening to you guys talk about cars and air conditioning makes this podcast feel like it's 50 years old. I'm over here dying laughing

Ductless mini splits are for all intents and purposes, heat pumps. Heat pump basically just means a refrigeration system used for air conditioning where a reversing valve is present that enables the system to both heat and cool the space. Heat pumps suffer in functionality under cold conditions largely due to the quirk of our atmosphere containing so much water. When you're pumping heat out of a house, the theoretical limit of how hot the outside coils can be is quite high, basically it's the temperatures and pressures where the metals and seals holding back the refrigerant would fail. When you're pumping cold out, the coils get coated with ice from water vapor condensing on the coils and pushes you further and further from from effective heat exchange. Even to the point where the refrigerant doesn't phase change back into a gas by the time it gets back to the compressor, which can kill the compressor, because liquids are not capable of being compressed.

The hot dog talk got me.

The superior regional hot dog is the Seattle dog.

Crucial omission to the Chicago Dog ouvre: the poppyseed bun

Being from Wisconsin and hearing Vinny describe a cheese curd was both hilarious and sad

Gods, I haven’t heard ‘slaw dog in decades. We had a place called Dawg Pound that did hot dogs and sausages in High Point, and that was one of the menu items. The bulldog was my favorite because that was a made-in-house sausage with a bunch of good toppings for about $7 for the meal. I would stop in after swimming at the YWCA my mom worked at. I think they went out of business in ‘99 after the price of meat went up.

Your guys hot dog puns are the wurst.

Alex Hedlund

As a Chicagoan I’m glad Alex & Brad love Chicago Dogs! You also need to add celery salt to the dog as well which puts it to another level! Also the peppers on top are called Sport Peppers they are little different pepperoncinis

You should check out Sam the cooking guy on YouTube. He has several different ways of doing dogs. The latest and my favorite is using a homemade pizza dough in place of the bun. He finishes cooking the whole thing in a pizza oven. It is really good.

I'm in Chicago, and all I want is ketchup on my hot dogs.

Can confirm that the mini split unit has a hard time in a very frigid, Buffalo ny winter, but usually when it's in the 20s or lower.
