READY SLOW

Meanwhile—institutions are crumbling, America is fractured, Cuomo’s dipping his garlic knot in places it doesn’t belong, and Steve Harvey’s suits are hiding something. 

It’s Episode 39 and the guys carve out some time to address their critics.

It’s only been a week since they last spoke and Shean’s been to court, got wrapped up in some extortion, and did a wedding. Meanwhile, Shane’s almost burnt his house down, the cats are missing, and he might’ve been taken off his Great Aunt’s will.

Joy Behar, Michael Jackson, Chumbawamba, and NFTs all make a guest appearance. 

Episode 38 is knife fights, acid attacks, golden calves, and ineffective eggplant politicians. The guys discuss the limits of perfectionism and how it can either suppress or advance your art. They also theorize the possibility of modern-day human sacrifice still happening on a massive scale.

Shean gets called the unthinkable and Shane’s house has been invaded. Limp Bizkit, Lebron James, Caitlyn Jenner, and Shane’s grandma make appearances. Plus, Shean’s pessimism meets Shane’s optimism. 

Shean and Shane record a special weeknight episode after the Derek Chauvin verdict is announced. The guys discuss vengeance, justice, and the court of public opinion.

It’s episode 36 and Genghis Khan saves the planet. President Biden dog whistles to gay nazis. Maxine Waters demands insurrection. Perception and perspective are on display in the Chauvin trial closing arguments.

The guys also compare their favorite serial killers. They weigh atom bombs, viruses, mass hysteria, media manipulation, and generational scars.

The guys bring you a quick episode from two different time zones. Shean’s in Texas making flowers, Shane’s in New York cleaning up mouse hearts.
Since Shean’s head has been in the bouquets for the past week, Shane fills him in on all the really good news that’s taken place since they last spoke. Riots, volcanoes, and executive orders. They also examine the last two weeks of the Chauvin murder trial. And if you’re wondering what makes Shane feel like Princess Diana, this episode is for you.

Episode 34 is the Easter Special: fates worse than death, bloody crosses, guillotine envy, toxic pop, and Jewish suffering. The guys trade Baptism vs Bar Mitzvah stories in an attempt to see who is and who isn’t going straight to Hell. 

Langston Hughes, Shakira, Katy Perry, Bad Bahbie, and Louis Farrakhan make appearances. 

Plus—after a week of suspense, Shane and Shean discuss, in detail, the tragic events that happened to Shean’s family—that coincidentally took place right near where Shane grew up. 

In episode 33, Shane catches Shean up on all the ways in which the world is falling apart. Shean’s been busy designing a wedding—meanwhile Shane has fully descended into News Hell. Satan shoes, white devils, reparations, mass shootings, immortal holograms, and vaccine passports. The guys consider the ethics of shopping carts and whether or not Bill Clinton is the best guy to talk about women being treated unfairly. Shane also walks Shean through Day 1 of the George Floyd Murder Trial. 

The episode ends with a shocking, simulation-shattering revelation.

Episode 31:  Shane is going to war with New York State and the college system—while Shean is breaking up fights in Atlanta. The guys get into nostalgia addicts, Biden clones, Trump faxes, celebrity worship, body dysmorphia, and how Prince Harry could become First Gentleman. 

And as Shean reflects on life with his birthday approaching, Shane attempts to put things into perspective.
