Comedy heavyweights TJ Miller and Matthew Broussard join the show for an unpredictable ride through late-night shopping mishaps, circus arts, and the ultimate "social habit" debate. We explore the world of Pokemon card investing, TJ’s unique Mario impressions, and Matthew’s wild story about a date that literally broke the furniture.

The conversation gets deep as we tackle the philosophy of the afterlife, the ethics of modern family planning, and the "math" behind a long night out. Stay until the end for a final moment between TJ and Shannon that is absolute chaos.

Air Date: 4/14/26
