The Golden Hour

Chris and Erik get into casino towns in Oklahoma, whether the casino is as guilty as the degenerate gambler, and why sex work is the one business where the customer is always wrong. They review Primetime, Resident Evil and Backrooms, rave about Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen, and pick apart Monster's take on Lizzie Borden. Plus political yard sign season, Elliot Page's latest magazine cover, how the country flipped its opinion on Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson's new show Brothers, a Harry Mack freestyle that will not end, the Guinness record for longest freestyle, AI scam calls, and an insurance company calling home about an Uber crash that never happened.

Chris and Erik open with Bitcoin regret and a time machine dilemma: kill Hitler, or buy 10,000 Bitcoin at a dollar? Erik recaps his weekend at Mohegan Sun, from a 75-minute massage that went wrong in the first few minutes (and what the protocol is for walking out of one) to a craps table full of old-school Italian guys straight out of Casino, passing the dice to Charlie. Chris explains "Bond," the secret eighth day of the week. The guys also get into The Handmaid's Tale and why some true stories, like Girl in the Basement, maybe shouldn't be made into movies.

Then biohacker Ben Greenfield joins over Zoom to talk about his new documentary, Boundless: The Man Who Became Human. Ben talks about going from being his own guinea pig to finding balance with family and faith, what he'd tell his younger self, how his approach compares to Brian Johnson's, how a regular person should start a longevity protocol, and where he draws the line in the longevity space.

A commercial audition turns into a war with a parking lot QR code. The guys get into the Sydney Sweeney betting-app ad, why women's sports uniforms look the way they do, and whether posting thirst traps is fair game. A story about closing a show for a room full of recovering addicts, the full home espresso routine, a Malibu listing with a private Starbucks, mustard water, the correct way to fry an egg, and the ongoing cheese-on-omelets dispute. Also: a DNA analyst who tampered with hundreds of criminal cases, Monday Night Football airing a player's legal trouble live, Furious and The Testaments on Hulu, the 2026 Emmy winners, and a long argument about linguine vs. fettuccine Alfredo.

Chris and Erik get into the Lindsay Clancy mistrial and why people still push the husband theory when both sides agreed he wasn't a suspect, then a viral store-line "assault" video where the footage clears the guy and nobody cares. Matt Rife's Annabelle doll turns into a debate on belief: ghosts, God, and simulation theory. They watch the AI Denzel "slop" clip and argue about whether AI filmmaking is art, gatekeeping, or lazy, with Erik explaining why his John Thick video kept putting the cop inside the house. Erik reviews The Odyssey and the accent choices Nolan made, Chris can't tell Insidious from The Conjuring, and Erik breaks down End of Oak Street beat by beat, payphone and all. Erik updates on parenting Billy, and they close on AI animal videos, steroids, and GLP-1.

Brendan is back for episode 200. He's coaching 10U tackle football and his defense still hasn't given up a touchdown. Chris just headlined a comedy festival in Portugal and has his first trip to Paris coming up. The guys get into Brian Callen missing the Monday show, why none of them have ever missed a flight, how much therapy is too much, a therapist who bragged about a client to his golf buddies, and not wanting to talk to barbers, chiropractors or Uber drivers. Then it's real fighters beating up online tough guys, Brian Callen's friend who supposedly fought Cheick Kongo on a beach, the fake Amy Poehler podcast scam, a custom steering wheel order that's been "in transit" for weeks, and the $300 estate auction couch Rachel bought. After Brendan leaves to get the kids, Chris and Erik cover Calvin sleeping in their bed, The Long Walk and every Stephen King book that became a movie, self-publishing success stories like The Martian and Wool, the Tupac verdict, GTA 6, and Tim Dillon on the women showing up to support Lindsay Clancy at her trial.

Chris and Erik get into the backwards strip mall where they get coffee before the show, Erik asking Rachel where the coffee beans are and getting pointed to the fava beans, and Chris's $120 ice cream delivery that showed up at the perfect consistency. They talk why delivery pizza beats pizza at the restaurant, the Santa Clarita waiter who went full Godfather the second the food hit the table, Erik's air fryer breakfast burritos, and why every sushi roll should be thinly sliced. Then the full story of the upside down guy at Chris's gym and how he finally got banned, the Vegas trip with a friend who gamble gambles and how Erik's wife made him an op, putting the best Congratulations episodes out on vinyl, Spotify pulling AI music, why people who can't tell what's AI yet deserve some grace, and whether cereal is soup.

Chris and Erik cover a potty training breakthrough powered by Pac-Man underwear, the back to school clothes racket, and a sunglasses compliment that went very wrong. They talk the new Matt Rife and Owen Wilson movie, a British crime drama that reveals a character's arm three episodes in with zero warning, the Angel Reese missed layup meme, and the bleak little movies that mobile game ads have become. Plus the MLK AI videos that got Sora shut down, AI porn and the OnlyFans empowerment debate, Lana Rhoades asking Google to erase her past, the Lindsay Clancy case and the people farming it for content, and Alex Cooper's non-answer to the Dave Portnoy memoir claim.

Chris and Erik debate whether it's still a burrito if you can't pick it up, share doctor visits and kid updates, and dig into algorithms full of knockout videos and when hitting back is ever justified. Then it's the Lindsay Clancy case, the latest Fauci revelations, politics turning into team sports, building apps with AI, Bitcoin regrets, and why the digital stuff you buy isn't really yours. To close it out, an AI writes Chris a joke and he agrees to try it on stage.

Chris and Erik debate whether burping is worse than farting, recap a 5 a.m. estate auction bid on some not-so-real diamonds, and trade sleep struggles that end with the Stadium Pal, a wearable fix for the middle-of-the-night pee. Nick brings the news: Mario Lopez's AI video, Jonah Hill's jiu-jitsu confidence, Liam Neeson's mystery pants, a Freddy Krueger remake that turned out to be fake, a Master of the Universe knockoff that's somehow real, and the viral wheelchair video that has everyone asking: is it a walking day?

This week the guys get into the Tucker Carlson x Sam Altman interview, whether convincing yourself you slept great actually works, and how many He-Man movies came out recently. They talk Supergirl and Superman, and why Sydney Sweeney was the obvious choice for Supergirl. Erik recaps a travel nightmare where his bags got shipped to two different states, plus the time Chris flew home with a Harry Potter broom. They debate whether headliners should let openers sell merch, react to the Odyssey salary list, argue about Matt Damon and De Niro, and swap audition stories, including losing a part to Jon Bernthal and the Workaholics tape that changed everything.
