Because it’s Labor Day week and we’re all emotionally wearing flip-flops, we’re rolling out a classic from the vault — one of your faves, featuring the ever-delightful Kat!

First up, JG tells the cautionary tale of two friends who loved pranking each other… until one of them decided to take things a skosh too far. What starts as harmless hijinks quickly turns into “well now we both need therapy.” Spoiler alert: someone ends up questioning the definition of fun and also probably friendship.

Then, Lindsay takes us on a majestic, chaotic trip back to the Civil War — where a certain overconfident general basically declared “Mission Accomplished” before the actual mission. It’s a tale of hubris, miscalculations, and the historical equivalent of sending the “I’m outside” text 30 minutes too early.

And Kat? She’s here to provide the logic and the light existential dread.

This is an episode about pranks, pride, and the perils of speaking before thinking. Also, friendship. And probably head injuries.

🎧 Press play. Revisit. Regret nothing.
