In the Slate Plus bonus segment of Friday’s edition of The Gist, Mike Pesca and his producer Mary Wilson speak with comedian Kyle Kinane about high-end blenders and all the strange sounds they make.
Why do Mike and Kyle disagree with shelling out money for an expensive blender? Do all these different settings—from chop, to parse, or cream—even make a difference? And do the different sounds of the settings actually correlate to effectiveness?
