This week on WOTS biological son of the pod and recent graduate, Stephen Jackson, approaches the bench to twist his tassel in recognition of his most recent accomplishment: GRADUATION! He is a king and a boy the hosts absolutely LOVE. It's being called "the most fun I've had recording an episode during quarantine." Check out this amazing ep!

And we did not forget to play another incredible game of Iconic/Not Iconic!

Dear Bunker Diary, today Sam and Joe went live on Instagram to discuss megabillionaire Elon Musk + his brood of scions. They also talked a lot about Greek Gods. Like a lot a lot.

Bunker-ridden boys Sam and Joe face their greatest fear—the Property Brothers—when they tackle this week's topic: HGTV! Take a trip down an open-concept memory lane as they talk about the classics like Trading Spaces, Extreme Makeover, and Pimp My Ride with Joe's sister Liz McMahon. Liz sticks around for a game of Iconic/Not Iconic, and then according to IG Live law, no stream can last more than an hour (apparently?) so the wrapup is short and sweet.

Sam and Joe went live on Instagram to take questions and commentary about the international man of mystery, hair decisions, and Hayao Miyazaki. Thanks to the flexible and fun nature of Instagram live, friend of the pod Elisa Ogot stopped in for the main discussion of Beyonce's Homecoming, and friend of the pod Nick Miller dropped by for the final round of Iconic/Not Iconic.

This week, the boys get therapeutic with incredible comedian and queer guru Cody Gohl under the guise of discussing working out. Topics include faith, body image, reading "gay enough," cliquey cultures, and plenty of lighter fare! After a cleansing, soul-bearing meeting of the minds, they of course wrap up with a game of Iconic/Not Iconic.

Season 3 Baby!!
