Bored out of our Minds: Grown Up Play-Doh - a podcast by Jeff Caplan, KSL Newsradio

We’re all spending more time at home… and I think we’ve run through all the things to do.  

We’ve blown through just about everything on Netflix and Disney+.  I mean … c’mon.  You’re so desperate you’ve probably even thought about watching something with subtitles.

I have.  It’s not so bad.  After a few minutes, you get used to it.  But at the beginning … feels like reading an assignment 

For hobbies, we've taken up pandemic pastimes like quilting, gardening, carpentry, cooking.  And who knows what else… and heading into this winter… we’re all just about at the end of our rope…

And I think the people at Play-Doh know this.  Because the folks who make the weirdly satisfying stuff you squish in your hands… are now selling grown-up Play-Doh.

It’s on amazon.  You get 6 colors for 12 bucks.  And they smell.  The grown-up flavors… are Overpriced Latte Playdoh.  Mom Jeans.  Dad Sneakers.  Grill King which smells like smoke Meat.  Spa Day… which is floral.  And Lord of the Lawn… Playdoh that smells like fresh-cut grass.

Seems like a great idea.   But in the comments, people complain… you really can’t smell anything.   This is so 2020.  Even Playdoh… is disappointing.
