    The Breaking Bad Episode
    Jun 23 2026
    Today at our house, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are the ones who knock. If you’ve seen Breaking Bad you get that reference. If you haven’t seen Breaking Bad, I think you’ll still enjoy this because Bryan & Aaron are the best men you could ever meet, but just be forewarned that we do end up spoiling a lot of Breaking Bad, and a little bit of The Wire if I’m being honest. These guys are two best friends who made one of the best shows ever together. Are they better best friends than Dave and Benny? Let's look at the facts at hand. They spent years together on Breaking Bad and then started a mezcal business because they missed each other. Also Bryan is getting his shoulder replaced and he's giving the old one to Aaron. It's not a competition but we can all agree this is a best friendship operating at a very high level. We talk to them about life after being on the biggest show ever, how Bryan approached his iconic crawl space laugh, Aaron dreaming as Jesse, and Bryan & Aaron’s marriage tips. It’s one of our favorite afternoons we’ve ever had. Thanks for watching. We respect you!

    The 30s Episode

    This episode might be a little shorter than you were expecting. But so is life, and that’s what you start to realize when you’re in your thirties. Your thirties might be the time when the body starts shutting down and kids start coming out of you. You may start asking questions: Is reality satisfying enough? Have you misplayed your hand? Do you believe in free will? Where does the pee come out of a woman? The 30s are a time to reflect and take it all in. Thanks for watching. We respect you! What happens: 0:00 intro

  • The Sean O'Malley Episode

    The Sean O'Malley Episode
    Jun 9 2026
    Does being a UFC champion automatically make Sean O’Malley a better overall athlete than Dave? That’s what we’re all wondering. Because obviously Sean is unbelievable at UFC. He’s fast. He has big hands. He can cut from 160 to 135 pounds. He can get beat up by grown men in Arizona, cry after practice, and then go back the next day. And he’s about to fight at the White House. These are all strong points for Sean. Nobody is denying Sean has points. But can he ball? Does he have unbelievable hand-eye coordination? Is he more athletic in every combine version? I mean the dribble is not what you would expect from the best overall athlete in the room. So where does that leave us? Sean is clearly one of the best fighters in the world. But best overall athlete in this room? I think we need more data, but judge for yourself. Thanks for watching. We respect you! What happens: 0:00 intro

  • The Jason Sudeikis Episode

    The Jason Sudeikis Episode
    Jun 2 2026
    Jason Sudeikis has no sense of smell, and Dave thinks he may personally possess the one scent powerful enough to activate it for the first time. If that’s not enough of a tease for you, what about finding out Benny’s favorite place to cry, how to write two #1 songs in one night, the best response when your kid starts asking questions about death, and what exactly Dave plans to do with Jason, the laxatives he ordered online, and a bag. You'll also get to see an Emmy winner and absolute pillar of comedy play PIG in our kitchen. We love Jason! Thanks for watching. We respect you!

    The Halsey Episode
    May 26 2026
    Halsey comes over. Her name is Ashley, we call her Ash. Did you know Ash used to throw parties so people would like her and then hide in the bedroom like Gatsby? Did you know she has to get an Airbnb in Japan and become someone else for a little bit before writing an album? Did you know she can draw you perfectly, in seconds? We put this last one to the test with some art supplies from the garage. Dave prefers to paint and he can stroke genius every now and then, just be warned that if you watch this episode you will witness a work of art that you can’t help but be both shocked by and in awe of. You’ve been warned. Thanks for watching us talk to Ash. We respect you!

We talk about childhood separation anxiety, songwriting with Billie, graduating a fake high school with a diploma written in ketchup, the OCD rituals Dave's parents bribed him to give up, the most time-efficient way to attain enlightenment, tofu, humanoid robots, and our weddings (past present and future). Later Finneas gets on the Wurlitzer and improvises a genuinely beautiful song about Kristin's ChatGPT habits. This man is such a musical genius it might make you mad.
