This week, things get personal—and a little petty—in the studio. We’re diving into the fallout of Grammi’s latest social experiment. After Michael questioned The Old Man on his notoriously stingy tipping practices, Grammi decided to put his "craft appreciation" to the test. She whipped up a high-end, home-cooked masterpiece and asked the question every chef fears: "How much would you tip me for this?"

The Old Man’s answer? Ten bucks. Needless to say, Grammi wasn’t having it, and the kitchen heat hasn't cooled down since.

Plus, Michael and Tom turn their attention to this weekend’s guest list. The big question looming over the studio: Will Crash from the Crash and Burn Podcast actually show up? She’s legendary for the "last-minute excuse"—sometimes even on her own show—so we’re setting the over/under on her arrival time.

Will the studio remain empty, or will Crash finally break the streak? And through all the chaos, how will The Blue Cat respond to the madness?

In this episode:

• The $10 Insult: Grammi vs. The Old Man’s wallet.

• The No-Show Watch: Betting on Crash’s reliability.

• The Blue Cat’s Take: Silence, judgment, or something more?
