Jana and Brian welcome writer-director Yassir Lester (The Gutter) for a laugh-cry hang that’s equal parts movie night and auntie/uncle wisdom. They talk Trader Joe’s and trading-post culture, grocery-store anthropology, and why “fart culture” is hilariously gendered. Farts back. Yassir nudges us to put down our phones and show up for people IRL. This week’s caller asks how to flirt with Native folks without being cringe. Come for the jokes, stay for a few merch ideas we probably shouldn’t make (“pre-smudged” denim???).
