Stand Up Scuttlebutt

Imagine buying a seat on a flight and a kid is sitting there. Kid has to go right? Well, not according to the kid's mom or the skank who videotaped you in the seat for the entire flight while verbally harassing you. What to do? You sue the airline, the mom, and the skank! But first, Evan is sitting on a Jury in the same courthouse where the Karen Read trial is being held. He can't talk about the details of the case yet but all the circus stuff is fair game. Liz issues her teen a firm warning about getting home with the car before curfew - not just her rules, but MA law too! Rick asks if he's the asshole in how he deals with landscaping crews that park in front of his house to service the neighbors. It's truly a first world problem that is finally being addressed!

Our friend on the show, Mary Lou Andre, scores a hat trick with her third appearance. This week, she brings something for everyone. Men's fashion trends, being mindful of looking appropriate, and some chit-chat about being a woman in business. Rick interrupts throughout. (Evan is at a murder trial).

Have you heard about Steven Shaw's Mushroom-fueled jet ride? Well, buckle up because this small-town problem goes airborne! It involves a guy from Vermont, an airport in New Jersey, and some dry-humping. But first, Rick excitedly shares how Sebastian Maniscalco handled a heckler who didn't appreciate his non-political Elon bit, Liz stands her ground as a mom, and Evan wins big on Keno!

Whoah, late episode drop here. Sorry. Ok, Let's talk about people who take a good idea and then go all in. And then they want you to comply with them. And then they publicly shame you when you don't. We're talking about a mom on the sidelines of youth sports!

This episode continues the "welcome back from break" vibe as Liz returns with some great stories she found online. Rick co-hosted a month's worth of comedy shows at Jacques Cabaret and still identifies as a very handsome straight man. Evan goes traveling and the whole trip is SNAFU.

Rick goes off on technology sounding like he was born about 100 years later than he should have. Then Liz has an update to the update about the sledding hill shutdown in Wellesley, MA and Evan isn't interested in the justification. And, two weeks into Evan's quest to lose 30 pounds, he only has 30 pounds to go! Keep it up champ!

In the second half, we learn about a kid who turns down an offer for his prized baseball card from the Pittsburgh Pirates. That offer was valued at more than a million dollars. However, this kid is taking the card to auction for a huge haul and then will donate ALL OF IT to the California wildfire victims.
