On Robert’s 49th birthday in episode 103, Robert and Kalyn introduce a “scandal edition” covering the burrito price debate (a $20 burrito framed as delivery and lifestyle expectations), generational work attitudes, and housing affordability comparisons from 2003 to today using inflation and income growth figures. They joke about loud eating, teeth-brushing advice, and discuss research claiming happiness rises after the late 40s as obligations lessen, including reflections on parenting and declining birth rates. They cover the Aloclae scandal involving cadaver-fat filler trafficking through New Jersey for use in New York, then pivot to religion: confusion about heaven, purgatory, indulgences, and Catholic saints and intercession. They react to Miss Thailand Universe food-themed costumes, note Trump’s past ownership of Miss USA and his renaming obsessions (including “Lake America”), then briefly review their portfolio with steep Opendoor losses and other moves.
