Episode Overview

In this podcast-only segment, the cast shares their favorite part of the show: a candid, off-air conversation about bizarre news stories, pop culture, and what’s happening in their personal lives. The episode moves from somber real-world events (Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother) to playful discussions (astronaut qualifications, iguanas falling from trees), as well as debates about adulthood ages, viral videos, and quirky celebrity moments from the Grammys.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Savannah Guthrie’s Mother Reported Missing

• [02:34 – 06:34]

Astronauts, Space Movies & “Are You Really an Astronaut?”

• [06:44 – 13:55]

  • Quote ([08:05], Bobby): “Do you consider an astronaut to be full astronauty if they haven’t been to space?”

Bizarre Viral News: Bar Fight Chair-Throw Incident

• [17:30 – 19:46]
  Morgan shares a story about a brawl where a man thrown out of a club returns with a chair—but misses, knocking out his apologetic friend instead. The video has over 27 million views.
  • The group laughs at the absurdity, discussing the unlikely pairing of the two men involved.

Legislative Oddities: Oklahoma’s Stripper License Proposal

• [19:53 – 23:15]
  Bobby discusses an Oklahoma bill requiring strippers to be licensed and raising the minimum working age in strip clubs to 21.
  • Debate over “adult age” inconsistencies in the U.S.: “If we have an adult age, that should be the adult age for everything… not two adult ages.”
  • Quote ([22:58], Bobby): “You can vote at 18, serve overseas at 18, but you can’t buy a freaking beer...It’s crazy to me.”

Grammy Awards Hot Takes & Outrageous Outfits

• [26:25 – 33:33]
• Quick Grammy winners review (Jelly Roll for Best Contemporary Country Album, Bad Bunny Album of the Year, etc.).
• Justin Bieber’s underwear performance and Chapel Roan’s headline-grabbing see-through, nipple-piercing-anchored Grammys dress.

Adulthood, Parenting, and Hospital Tours

Listener Calls: Kids Swallowing Objects, Book Reviews, and Organ Donations

• [52:36 – 57:21]
  • A listener recounts her son swallowing a screw: hospital stay, waiting for it to pass.
