The guys talk about Soren's weapon issue for as long as Daniel can muster, before they "cut. it. out!" and  transition very normally to a celebration of the 90's sitcom Full House: catchphrases, effort level, what a rewatch is revealing to Daniel about how TV has changed, and why writers should play a little bit of sports.

Daniel and Soren reunite after a long break you didn’t notice to talk about movies best half-watched on airplanes, why Michael Clayton still rules, and what it means to “gang up” on a punchline. They get deep into terminology of their respective writers’ rooms—Bone Pile, Cougar, TK, Alt Sim But Diff—and debate whether their podcast is normie or alien. Plus: Jason Statham as Buster Keaton, Kelsey Grammer’s punctuation tyranny, and the existential horror of watching young people react to you saying “skibidi toilet.”

Soren and Daniel embark on a deeply nostalgic journey through their adolescence in an exhaustive attempt at defining, once and for all, what “hooking up” actually means. They talk about the flawed yet ubiquitous baseball bases metaphor, accidentally lying about doin’ it on a roller coaster, and why “going down” is a linguistic life vest. Plus, Daniel learns too late what counts as “talking” and Soren remembers a potentially problematic doctor.

Daniel asks Soren what his dream children’s birthday party would look like—and is horrified by the answer. They discuss the grim realities of modern parenting etiquette: napkins that disintegrate on contact, unguarded bathroom doors, and the impossibility of feeding both adults and children. Plus: Spider-Man party flirting, a Chuck E. Cheese beatdown, and why kids no longer open presents in front of each other.

Daniel was adjacent to a situation at a Pete Davidson show that leads the guys to a conversation about bystander instincts, invisible heroism, and what it means to be posed in your seat. Plus, cremation fraud, why cemeteries are dumb, and why people who rescue you never want to talk about it.

The guys weigh the pros and cons of being supplement grifters, wonder what the Quick Question equivalent of SmartLess Mobile might be, and find peace despite how much less integrity they have than Ryan Holiday, Then, early lessons in academic dishonesty and a truly cursed pitch from Daniel’s past.

Daniel went to Citi Field, home of surprisingly reaosnable food, so the guys debate whether they could handle the “7 hot dogs, 7 beers in 7 innings” challenge and explore some of the most atrocious signature dishes in stadiums across the country.

The guys pull the curtain back to reveal a sordid behind the scenes look at what the bathrooms are like for television writers in the office, discuss the efficacy of a test for diagnosing psychopathy, and Soren shares a very cute story.

The guys share the tentpoles of culture that to them can do no wrong, like how Daniel will bend like a pretzel for Andor and Soren will follow his Alpha Dog anywhere. They also reminisce on Soren's days as a morning radio contributor and decide being a morning zoo DJ must be the best job in the world.

The guys set aside morals and allergies to design the ideal multi-course fast food feast. Plus Daniel's go a bone to pick with friend of the show Jason Pargin, and Taskmaster is back and this time there's an American.
