Dave & Dex know how you feel. None of us should have idols, but we do. It sucks when a celebrity you love is allegedly a “smooth criminal,” if you will, or someone even sleazier. Or maybe the sleazy idol is a friend, a mentor, or all the above. Sometimes what we don’t know shields us from harm. But when the veil gets lifted, light shines upon the darkness. Damn, it’s complicated.

Dave & Dex discuss small and large moments when people have dared to dream only to have those dreams shattered in unthinkable ways. Among them, sympathetic figures like the DACA Dreamers (not Bertolucci’s “Dreamers”), your favorite service industry workers, and decathletes and Nike pitchmen Dan and Dave from the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. And yes, even unsympathetic figures like Hillary Rodham Clinton get a bit of sympathy. Plus, the guys close with their popular “All Apologies” segment.

Dave & Dex are back from hiatus! They don’t normally do Valentine’s Day, but inspired by Lady Gaga, they readily opine about "bad romance." Plus, the guys close with a new segment: “Run-Hide-Fight.”
