The boys are officially back in person for 2022! Straight off the bat there is a big reveal as one of the boys got Omicron over the Christmas break - but who was it? Rohit then proudly tells the boys he lived in a bus for a number of days which obviously resulted in confused looks from Miguel and Sen.

After discussing bus life, the boys also discuss Novak Djokovic’s legal battle with the Australian government which somehow leads to a discussion about being stabbed vs being shot.

Continuing with the theme of Novak Djokovic and the Australian Open, our game this week is “Stockholm Syndrome.” This week the boys have to guess between IKEA products and tennis players.

We have a new segment this week, “Red Flag Redemption.” Now arguably, all the lads on this podcast are walking red flags, therefore making us the best judges of red flags and supposed toxic traits. In this segment we discuss some of our own red flags as well as common red flags and decide if they are indeed worthy of being a red flag.

Also this week: Novax, Tiny Homes, Swedish Baltic islands and astrology girls.

Segments this week:

The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week’s news stories, events and viral trends.

Stockholm Syndrome: This segment has nothing to do with actual Stockholm Syndrome, instead this is a game where the boys try to distinguish between IKEA products and NBA players.

Red Flag Redemption: The boys dissect common red flags and discuss the validity of the toxicness, including some of their own red flags.
