Digest

The episode begins with an advertisement for Philo, a streaming service offering live TV channels and on-demand content. The hosts, Mo and Robert, then introduce the episode and discuss their recent experience with comedian and podcast host Pete Holmes. They highlight Holmes' ability to seamlessly transition between humor and insightful ideas. The first caller, "Jesus," seeks advice on a bizarre workplace dilemma: a coworker who brushes his teeth in the bathroom while Jesus is using the toilet. The hosts and Pete Holmes brainstorm solutions, ranging from finding a secret bathroom to confronting the coworker. The next caller, Catherine, discusses her struggle with stray cats in her neighborhood. While she enjoys the cats, she's concerned about other animals, like possums, entering her home through the open door she leaves for the cats. Catherine calls back later to seek advice on how to keep possums out of her house. She has a back door that she leaves open at night, and the possums are taking advantage of it. The hosts discuss the issue and offer solutions, including training her cats to enter through a higher window and creating a cat door that is too high for possums to reach. Finally, a previous caller, Darcy, calls back to update the hosts on her situation. She and her sister had a disagreement about going to a swingers party, and the hosts had offered advice. Darcy explains that she and her partner have been to swingers parties since their last call, but they haven't seen her sister there.
