We kick things off with one of life’s most important questions: what kind of person hangs a portrait of themselves? From Wayne Gretzky holding records for… holding records, to Mark Thompson’s mysterious 8x10 glossy celebrity photo on his nightstand, we debate ego, legacy, and — inevitably — what side of the bed do you sleep on? 

Then we get into relationships. Do you have a snoring problem? We share the unspoken rules of sleep, compromise, and a few secrets to a great marriage, because nothing tests love quite like a bad night’s sleep. 

Next, a growing concern: younger kids gambling on sports. After Ben Affleck told Jimmy Kimmel that his son asked him for gambling money, we talk about how betting went from bookies and guys “running numbers” to apps on every phone — and what parents should be paying attention to. 

We roll into “Good Times Go Bad” with Mark Thompson, looking at a new Gen Z reality: parents applying for jobs for their kids — and even showing up to interviews with them. Is it support, or is it too much?
