Roy Harter from the Davey Mac Sports Program pulls up to Modern Day Man — and 'East Side' Dave McDonald and Bobby Tamburro spend the whole episode trying to prove he was an MKUltra mind-control subject.

No Berg. No studio. Just Bobby and Dave, two laptops, and the old Zoom.

Aaron Berg is deep in bodybuilding mode chasing his IFBB pro card, so East Side Dave holds down MODERN DAY MAN with special guest Roy Harter — and it turns into one of the all-time great grievance episodes.

Dave revisits his 15-year quest for a New Jersey Hall of Fame nomination (still snubbed, still furious), roasts this year's inductee class, and lays out his King of Comedy-style plan to finally get his respect. Then comes the main event: the Party City saga. One balloon quote for his mom's 85th birthday, one condescending "oh, somebody's good at math," and Dave goes all the way to corporate for justice — and a $15 coupon.

Plus: the 250th-anniversary World Cup on American soil, Dave's childhood soccer trauma courtesy of his German father, Christian Pulisic repping Hershey PA, a confession about Mario Kart, and a genuinely rousing American Spirit speech to close it out.

'East Side' Dave McDonald is dog-sitting two Australian Shepherds, his Subaru's been hostage at the shop for two weeks, and he needs $6,000 — fast. Naturally, the only logical solutions are an OnlyFans puppet show, a backyard dog-wrestling league, and a GoFundMe ransom video. Meanwhile, Dave's substitute teaching career hits new lows, Aaron pitches the worst lubricant commercial in advertising history, and the guys discover the perfect Shoprite turkey slider. Aaron Berg and East Side Dave McDonald go fully off the rails in what might be the most unhinged episode yet.CHAPTERS0:00 – Cold Open (Are we rolling?)1:07 – Welcome to Modern Day Man1:20 – The Knicks Are in the Finals3:34 – Dave's Dog-Sitting Situation: Meet Enzo & Sonny5:50 – Which Dog Would You Eat First?7:30 – Stay Hungry vs. Staying Alive8:17 – The Jamie Lee Curtis Debate10:10 – The $6,000 Subaru Disaster10:30 – "Divina" Goes to the Dealership13:55 – A Backyard Dog-Wrestling League?14:50 – Dave's OnlyFans Career Plan19:16 – The Strait of Hormuz & Gas Prices20:47 – The GoFundMe Ransom Video23:14 – Checking the Patreon23:34 – The Substitute Teaching Chronicles27:00 – Why He Goes By "Mr. Dave"28:41 – The Paper Airplane Incident30:48 – The Perfect Shoprite Turkey Sliders33:06 – The Grocery Store Bathroom Confession36:08 – The Wet Personal Lubricant Commercial39:48 – The Grossest Episode Ever?45:55 – Max Sports Debut + Special Guest Teaser46:36 – Final Word on the Knicks🔬 This episode is brought to you by VALOR SCIENCES.

DAVE is trapped in a $6,000 nightmare with his Subaru dealership — and the guys have some creative solutions, none of which are legal. AARON shares his laundromat crime spree, the crew debates the finer points of Italian gravy vs. tomato sauce, a viral robot fail sparks an AI takeover debate, and in a wild live segment, Aaron actually calls the dealership on air to try and negotiate a trade-in deal. Plus: improv Subaru ads that will never air on local television.

Episode 46 kicks off with producer Ian writing the single most unhinged content warning disclaimer in podcast history — somehow involving two completely different spellings of "but" — and it only escalates from there. Dave makes his case for why he would absolutely dominate on Big Brother (dishes skills alone would carry him deep), and then the guys do something truly special: a full improvisational Big Brother season simulation that runs for the majority of the episode.

The fictional cast includes Dave as the scheming redheaded Head of Household, Janet — a loud, hilarious character with a baby daddy named LaQuan doing 20-to-40 for an armed robbery involving a chainsaw — Margaret the conspiracy theorist who gets framed for cocaine, and Jack, an elderly housemate whose heart medication gets flushed down the toilet in a failed elimination scheme. The alliance between Dave and Janet breaks down spectacularly. And then Jerry O'Connell shows up as the celebrity guest, gets roasted for marrying John Stamos' ex Rebecca Romijn, goes on a bit of a personal spiral live on air, and barely makes it out alive.

Back in the real world: Bobby wears a Philadelphia 76ers shirt to New York City on the night the Knicks play the Sixers, gets a thumbs down from a total stranger on the street, and is spotted gripping a pocket knife for protection. The guys also discuss the NJ Devils missing the playoffs again, Jack Hughes' wasted potential, the Knicks' playoff run against Philly, Canada vs. America in Olympic hockey, and Aaron's genuine belief that he'd get evicted from Big Brother on night one despite being an elite dishwasher.

Episode 45 kicks off at an AIDS testing station — don't ask — and somehow only gets stranger from there. Dave makes the case that "ginger" is a racial slur and demands equal protection under the law, a boxer gets his hairpiece knocked clean off mid-fight on live television, and Dave takes an impromptu detour into the West Village weed shop where his friend Terry works. You know, typical Tuesday.

Then things shift gears completely as Aaron does a full-blown Kill Tony impression — becoming a character named "Skeeter McGinnis," a comedian who just moved to Austin four hours ago, whose sister was just murdered, and who has IBS and two lesbian moms. It goes exactly as well as you'd expect, and Dave's Tony like reaction is priceless.

Also in this episode: Magic Johnson's HIV vs. AIDS debate, Karl Malone's very disturbing off-court history, Roman Polanski and the art vs. artist argument, Dave's skin cancer saga, Brooke Shields at a wedding talking postpartum, Andre Agassi's hairpiece confession, Aaron negotiating a $25,000 college booking down to a burger at Brookdale, and Angry Archie's catering emails Dave BACK about the mom's 85th birthday clambake — and Dave still hasn't responded because he was waiting to talk to Aaron first. Meanwhile Aaron met a donut truck guy in a Stop & Shop parking lot and is now pitching that as a valid clambake alternative.
