Olivia talks about her time on Feeld and getting kicked off the app. Tim shares his honeymoon travel stories, which include getting punched by a homeless man.

All the way from Canada, Henry Sir joins the pod alongside returning guest Tucker Brookshire. Together, they’re two of the coldest white boys Drago knows.

Tucker is working to de-optimize his life and taking on the idea of not strangling the goose. The boys talk about whether or not a civil war is looming in America. And the boys answer listener questions, including: What’s your go-to road trip snack, and what movie or series would you win trivia about?

Comedian and member of Drago’s inner circle, Lucas Zelnick, joins the pod. Taking some time off from the road, Lucas shares what he’s been learning in acting class. As a new dog dad, he lays out why having a dog is way harder than being a parent—especially when you're working the graveyard shift at the Cellar. Drago tells the story of attending a friend’s wedding in New Orleans, which leads the boys to realize: New York City just does it better. Lucas talks about bombing at a recent charity event, and the boys get into tips for wedding speeches—which, oddly enough, leads Drago to learn why his uncle no longer speaks to him.

Long story short: Drago may have won the battle, but his landlord is still scheming to win the war. The conversation turns to roommate stories, and a mutual friend Dwayne (a white man) comes up—who might be one of the funniest humans alive.

And the reason Talia has to have a day job is Dave Portnoy. An internet take by this week’s guest, Talia Lichstein (influencer and friend of the pod), about Dave and his dog got back to the man behind Barstool—and it’s safe to say Dave did not like her perspective.

She also shares the conversations and disclosures she has to have with the people she dates about what she might post about their relationship online.
