In this episode, Josh kicks off tornado season exploring the weird world of extreme weather. From “partly cloudy” feeling like emotional manipulation, to buying a survival kit he doesn’t know how to use, to the questionable decision to yell at hurricanes in spray paint.

Josh confronts a harsh reality he’s never said out loud before: he might be going bald. Well, let’s call it thinning or maybe just a hairline restructuring. Josh explores the cruel trade-offs of life, South Korea’s wild idea to treat baldness as a national crisis and the surprising comeback of toupees.

Josh is also back with a follow up on the war in Iran. He says, if you’re going to chant “Death to America”, at least make it rhyme. He also breaks down the shocking headlines surrounding the new Supreme Leader and reminds Iranians who hate the U.S., that nobody demeans Americans better than Americans themselves.
