The guys discuss the conflicting feelings of excitement and anxiety that Christian feels now that his beloved (and historically losing) New York Jets now have Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback — will they actually be good this year? Justin finally gets to one of his science facts, and of course it has something to do with turtles. Then they read a letter from a Chilean-born Norwegian who writes in with a very controversial Would You Rather. Finally, they hear a voicemail from Ernesto who confirms that sports fans actually do listen to Life Is Short.

Pete Holmes (You Made It Weird podcast) and Justin spend the first couple minutes doing Mark Wahlberg, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Ryan Reynolds impressions at each other before they dig into Pete’s long-running podcast “You Made It Weird,” what it was like to write and act in the semi-biographical HBO series “Crashing,” and Justin admits that he’s jealous of Pete for having his cartoons published in the New Yorker.

Justin and Christian are back in the original studio this time around, and yes, the chair is still squeaky. They discuss how fun it was to finally introduce their little nephews to Muppets Take Manhattan and see it through their eyes. Then a hardcore Canadian Shortie admits she didn’t finish Breaking Bad and it blows Christian’s mind. But she makes up for it with a WYR about fighting 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck. Finally, they listen to a voicemail from Tom about his humorous plans for his epitaph and why he’d want music from Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk album at his funeral.

Dianna Agron (Glee, Acidman, Clock) and Justin talk about the inappropriate questions women get asked about their plans to have children, what it was like to work with living Hollywood legends like Dustin Hoffman, Candice Bergen, Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert DeNiro, and how the hit TV show Glee changed her life. Plus, Justin learns how to properly pronounce Dianna’s last name (it’s not AG-Ron, it’s AY-gron).

Justin and Christian ponder an ethical dilemma involving a fast food drive thru, Justin checks dog urine sample collection off his bucket list and they pay tribute to the late founder of Din Tai Fung. Then they answer a listener letter that used ChatGPT AI technology to craft the perfect Would You Rather question (and it’s so good it scares them a little). Finally, Benji from Australia calls in with a comment that is simultaneously flattering and insulting, then asks the guys about their first date, first horror film and first fave TV show.

The guys talk about Christian’s recent trip to Naples, Florida, where he spent time on a boat with his horse-energy neighbors and found himself face to face with a dolphin erection. Then we read a letter from a listener who randomly met another Shorty in the wild, and her Would You Rather asks if you’d rather be scary stoned at a funeral or puke drunk at a wedding? Finally, we hear a voicemail from a listener in South Florida who thinks she might have recognized Christian after hearing his voice in her tea shop (Yes, it was him).
