<p><strong>Jon D. takes on ketchup conspiracies (seriously — check the Pantone match), why <em>Andor</em> might just be the best Star Wars content ever created. Plus listener giveaways, and more. It’s part stand-up, part soapbox, and full of Jon D. style.</strong></p><p>🧃The Great Ketchup Conspiracy: ever wonder why the Heinz bottle at your favorite restaurant doesn't taste quite right? Jon breaks down how Heinz is now using <strong>Pantone color codes</strong> on its labels to bust restaurants refilling bottles with off-brand junk. (Check your ketchup before you wreck your hot dog.)</p><p>🏒 Jon weighs in on the <strong>Stanley Cup Final: Panthers vs. Oilers</strong>, and yes, he’s <strong>pulling for Edmonton again</strong>. He also recaps the Capitals' season, including Ovi’s record-breaking moment, and breaks down what went wrong against Carolina (aka “the Dirty Canes”).</p><p>🌌 Jon dives deep into <em>Andor</em> Season 2, calling it the most grounded and realistic Star Wars yet. He praises the gritty world building, standout performances (shoutout to Cyril’s overbearing mom), and the bold storytelling choices. </p><p>📬 Congrats to <strong>Alex B.</strong> for winning the Amazon gift card for Ep. 72, and props to <strong>Wade B.</strong> for longtime loyalty — Wade’s getting a surprise $10 card just for sticking with the pod. Jon also answers the classic question: <em>What’s up with the “D” in Jon D?</em> (Spoiler: blame another comic from Pittsburgh and a clever suggestion from Mike Diesel.)</p><p>🎁 Want in on the giveaway?
