1. January Blues, Parenting Chaos, & Nanny Drama

• Both Ryland and Lizze vent about the emotional drain of January and the chaos that comes with young kids.
  • “January's gonna make you feel all thirty-one of her days, and she tripped.” (Lizze, 01:02)
• Lizze describes the never-ending cycle of child sickness and the struggle to find reliable help.
  • “I've been interviewing nannies up the wazoo because, as we all know, my former nanny fell off of a cliff. And, you know, thoughts and prayers to her family..." (Lizze, 10:03)
• The hosts swap stories about their parenting styles, baby sleep (or lack thereof), and the anxiety of keeping infants healthy during flu season.

2. Friendship Banter, Self-Deprecation, & Running Gags

• Light teasing about who looks like whose parents and notorious baby habits ("middle finger up" photos).
  • “That bitch came out grumpy. And he stays grumpy.” (Ryland, 03:08)
• Lizze and Ryland’s comedic back-and-forth extends to everything from swallowing sounds to their dogs' antics and mail delivery woes.
  • “I have these awful dogs and anytime they hear something... they just sort of go crazy. And my house is poorly insulated, so you can hear it throughout the country when they are losing their mind.” (Lizze, 21:57)

3. Secret Menu Madness: The In-N-Out "Gorilla Style" Challenge

[68:16] ~ End

• The group drives to In-N-Out (Northridge location) to attempt the infamous Gorilla Style burger (a combination of Double Double, “Flying Dutchman,” animal fries—all stacked into one monstrous creation).
  • They experiment with order logistics, amuse drive-thru workers, and ultimately have to DIY the secret menu hack in the parking lot.
  • “If you want to do a gorilla style, you get a Flying Dutchman double patty. Make it a triple patty... then just put your animal fries on there.” (Ryland, 70:00)
• The resulting meal:
  • Flying Dutchman: Just patties and cheese—no bun.
  • Animal Fries: Fries topped with cheese, grilled onions, and spread.
  • DIY Gorilla Burger: Dutchman + Double Double + Animal Fries = Queasy, gloriously greasy mess.
  • Real-time reactions suggest it’s tasty but absurdly impractical.
    • “This is like Thanksgiving. It’s In-N-Out Thanksgiving when your dinner all starts to mash together because it’s on one huge plate.” (Ryland, 81:01)
    • “I have sauce everywhere. There’s just a nice little soup at the bottom.” (Chris, 83:42)

4. Foodie Debates & In-N-Out vs. Fast Food Rivals

• Discussion on the cultural phenomenon of In-N-Out vs. Whataburger (Texas claims) or Wendy’s:
  • Verdict: In-N-Out is great for the value and freshness, but often overhyped to out-of-towners.
  • “It’s like seeing a movie that’s been overhyped... Because you’ve built this thing up, it’s like, was it as good as I was imagining in my head?” (Ryland, 88:58)

5. Celebrity Gossip & Hot Topics (Scattered Throughout)

• Euphoria’s new season and behind-the-scenes drama; Sydney Sweeney/Zendaya rumors
  • “I’m excited to see Sydney Sweeney... They said it’s true. Behind the scenes, everyone knows Zendaya does not trust Sydney and wants her man far away from her.” (Ryland, 35:01)
• Brooklyn Beckham and celebrity children—the curse of being over-indulged and under-challenged.
  • “I’ve never met a celebrity kid that I liked.” (Lizze, 43:37)
• Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s text exchange leak, “cringiness” in the celebrity friend group dynamic.
  • “Taylor was like, ‘Lol, lol, like, you’re…that’s the best friend I’ve been missing.’ I’m like, oh, no, fucking no. That sucks.” (Lizze, 50:26)
• The Queer Eye press tour drama, mental health, and the realities of off-camera conflict.
  • “He obviously canceled, like, minutes before press day to do a big fuck you to the four members on the couch, which is…” (Ryland, 54:48)
