It’s a full house of Gemini energy as Brendan Sagalow and Rob Youells join the studio for the ultimate "June Babies" birthday celebration! The guys swap wild stories about celebrating birthdays in Las Vegas, experiencing the massive scale of The Sphere, navigating bizarre wax museums, and the collective anxiety of having your birthday publicly outed. Things get hilariously competitive in the second half as the crew dives into a chaotic round of the party game "Say What," resulting in some accidental studio equipment damage. Along the way, we look back at the crew's shared history, including Rob's past entertainment gigs, the realities of performing live on stage, and Shannon's absolute wildest youthful party memories.
