It's Superbowl Monday and what starts as a welcome back quickly turns into an argument with airport security, society, and phone notifications. Ned and Josh cover cruises, holidays, government Instagram appearances, and why watching The Sopranos too much can alter your personality. There’s also a surprisingly heated discussion about baby skulls and whether humans would have evolved past that by now. Add in an uncomfortable stock photography revelation, a song that refuses to leave one brain alone, and a major podcast announcement that the Pod Pals may not love and you've got the first episode for 2026.
