Bill kicks things off by welcoming back Kevin and Mark “The Soldier” after a mysterious two-week hiatus. Fans have been wondering where Mark disappeared to—he’s finally back, fresh off a raucous Vegas birthday trip!
Kevin regales us with his latest misadventure from kids’ hockey: a night at the rink so cold and miserable that he locked himself out of his car. Bill hails Kevin as a true hero for handling the situation like a champ.
Meanwhile, Mark’s latest escapades take center stage. Earlier last week, Mark injured himself while scraping snow off his car—setting the stage for his Vegas trip to look a little rougher than planned. On the flight out, one of his ears got so clogged he ended up at urgent care in Las Vegas! Despite these setbacks, Mark soldiered on to celebrate his 54th birthday with a show-stopping trip featuring Barry Manilow and Keith Urban. He reveals how he rallied, partied until 3 AM for two straight nights, and even managed to score a birthday shoutout from Keith Urban! Bill teases that if he had to go to such lengths, he’d be “wildly uncomfortable and miserable”—and jokingly wonders if Mark might soon need to be “put out like Old Yeller.”
Adding to the fun, Mark’s delightful girlfriend, Marianne, joins the podcast. She defends her thoughtful birthday antics and even drops a surprising statement about Mark that leaves Bill a bit skeptical.
The conversation then veers into the realm of celebrity beauty secrets—Bill marvels at how Keith Urban looks so youthful at nearly 60, speculating if a salmon sperm facial (a treatment favored by Jennifer Aniston and Denise Richards) might be the secret. Bill and Mark hilariously guess the price, landing close to the mark, which sparks jokes about DIY, budget-friendly facials.
To wrap things up, Kevin introduces a creative new hybrid game that combines “Name That Tune” with “Closest to the Pin.” Play along and see how you do!
