2. Door Dash Delivery Etiquette & the Viral Incident

(Timestamps: 05:36 – 13:09, 14:08 – 21:30)

• The crew discusses the case of a Door Dash driver charged for filming and posting about a pantsless customer.

  “They answered with no pants on…and so the lady broke out her phone…I was lured into the house and stuff. The problem is the ring camera says she just went into the house.” (05:36—John)

• Dissecting the legal and ethical lines of privacy, consent, and the dangers of entering a stranger’s home while delivering food.
• John stresses: Never enter a stranger’s home if you're a delivery driver:

  “That’s rule one…Never enter the premises.” (12:27—John)

• Humorous perspectives on how the pandemic improved social interactions by allowing for contactless delivery:

  “Covid proved we don’t need to talk to you pizza people, DoorDashers, and you don’t want to talk to us. It’s perfect.” (14:08—John)

• John’s personal experience delivering food in the pre-app era, describing awkward residential scenarios:

  “I walked up to one house, lady standing there in just a big T shirt. Ugly, I was gonna say. All right, ugly. And this hillbillies behind her…the wife came out and said something…I had to drive all the way back over there and give him what we forgot. She’s standing out there again – he goes, ‘I like you or this would be a problem.’” (08:09—John)

• The show pokes fun at Brady’s friendly delivery conversations, blaming people like him for missed “30 minutes or less” pizza deals back in the day.

3. Modern Social Interaction Avoidance: The Joy of Not Talking

(Timestamps: 16:43 – 21:30)

• The hosts celebrate how delivery and ride-share apps now allow customers to avoid small talk with strangers:

  “Uber drivers—do you realize how bad it got talking to you?…We actually made enough noise to have it on the app to say, ‘Talk free drive.’” (17:34—John)

• Brett confesses he’s never used the “don’t talk to me” feature out of politeness.
• Playful banter about how avoiding human interaction is one of the best legacies of COVID.

4. Sexual Assault Allegations Against Smokey Robinson

(Timestamps: 21:30 – 38:43)

• The crew reacts with disbelief to recent allegations against 94-year-old Smokey Robinson:

  “Smokey Robinson is evidently 90 years old. And now people are saying…I got [sexually assaulted]. It’s too late.” (21:49—John)

• They muse about the implausibility of such charges against someone of Smokey’s age:

  “If you get raped by Smokey Robinson, you were asking for it. You practically have to lay down and do it yourself. Smokey probably fell asleep a couple of times.” (24:34—John)

• Comparison to other celebrity sexual assault cases, referencing Charlie Sheen and Mike Tyson.
• John ridicules the idea that a much younger person couldn’t defend themselves against an elderly man:

  “If you couldn’t defend yourself from Smokey Robinson in his heyday, he was tiny, but you’re still struggling with it last year, Darwin would probably have you removed from the planet…I don’t like the victim shame. Unless it’s Smokey Robinson doing the raping, then it’s your fault.” (24:25—John)

• Debates the logic of victims who tolerated abuse for years without leaving their jobs:

  “From 2007 to 2024, if you were forced to have sex for a…17-year period, that’s on you. You had an escape route somewhere around, oh, I don’t know, Trump’s first term.” (23:44—John)

• The group riffs on how over-the-top it would be to accuse a nonagenarian of overpowering a healthy adult:

  “You can’t tell me an 84 year old man did something untoward sexually without a weapon.” (25:55—John)

• Satirical scenario-building: if Smokey Robinson made advances, it would be a funny story, not a trauma:

  “If Smokey was right here…grabbed my hand and placed it on his genitals, I would laugh, and that would be a story I’d have for the rest of my life.” (22:53—John)

• Jokes about cleaning staff exchanging stories, and how any sexual advances from someone this old shouldn’t be threatening.
• Byron: “Or a Cosby cocktail.” (26:27) – Visibly dark humor referencing the Bill Cosby scandal.
• John: “Smokey Robinson isn’t raping anybody. I want to be on the jury…he’s 84 years old. How old are you? 33. And you lost that fight. Let that be a lesson to you. Not guilty.” (28:27)
• They equate the alleged offense to being “raped by a blind guy”—an event you can simply avoid by leaving the room.
• John references Victor Frankl’s Man's Search for Meaning to highlight resiliency after trauma, contrasting it comically to those coming forward decades late.

5. Defining the Line Between Accountability and the Absurd

(Timestamp: 34:20 – end)

• The group expresses skepticism about the rising number of historical or “implausible” claims in the era of #MeToo and celebrity lawsuits.
• They joke about being proud of being “raped by Smokey in his prime.”
• Big-picture riff: If you wait decades or a lifetime to tell your story, you can talk about it, but legal justice is gone.
