Ash battles the tail end of COVID while Little Beard and Cookie recover from a wild weekend at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. Between talk of ghost-hunting cats, ultraviolet bug runways, and AI Alexa getting emotional, the crew dives into deep and hilarious territory. They recap KC RenFest chaos, share an airbrush breakthrough, talk fake AI Comic Con leaks, and react to Marvel's Wonder Man trailer — all before spiraling into Wilford Brimley's age crisis and the immortal truth that Gen X just ages better.
