With Chris’ daughter Kaylee just out of earshot, Chris and Steve try to keep things clean for once.

Steve wants to be cyborg and Chris wants to know which of his five limbs he’d replace first. Chris has never drawn an erect penis, so Steve teaches him how. And, why is it that wrestlers are always dying?

Chris and Steve talk about what kind of guy they would go gay for, create a lot of post-production work for Chris when they start dropping names they weren’t supposed to, discuss why a winter trip to Montreal might be in store for one of them, and wonder about the differing laws for striptease in the States and in Canada.

Chris and Steve chat about how they survived their senior years of college, how Steve would do in one of Chris’ classes, and why election season proves the human experiment is over.

Curmudgeons Chris and Steve talk about speeding tickets as revenue streams, who will run for president in the post-social media age, bad jokes about Genesis, problems with weight, and whether they’d rather have a man or a woman performing their rectal exams.
