Title: Showering With Strangers!
Hosts: Peyton Hardin & Cameron Kennedy
Release Date: September 22, 2025

Episode Overview

In this high-energy and hilariously candid episode, Peyton and Cam reunite in the studio to unpack their signature blend of wild stories, nostalgic childhood confessions, and deeply unserious takes on everything from twerking to gym showers. True to the show’s DNA, their teasing banter escalates into laugh-out-loud storytelling, unexpectedly thoughtful moments, and viral debates on topics like public bathroom etiquette, childhood “wrestling” rituals, and the multilayered trauma of being called “pee pee.”

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Twerking Glory Days & Body Malfunctions (03:25–05:20)

• Peyton and Cam exchange ribbing about their respective twerking abilities and the physical limitations of aging knees and spines, comparing themselves (with tongue-in-cheek humility) to figures like Ben Simmons and Megan Thee Stallion.

“Your twerk has never been like both cheeks going at a different time.”
— Peyton (03:55)

2. Body Image and DEXA Scan Adventures (05:37–09:47)

• Peyton reveals he underwent a DEXA body scan to better understand his health and fitness metrics.
• Comedic gold as he learns not only his actual body fat percentage (a “smooth 25%”) but is blindsided when the scan reveals an unflattering infrared snapshot of his genitals (“ghibli bits”), sparking a riff on gym modesty and DEXA scan etiquette.

“No one told me, when you get a full body DEXA scan, it shows your ghibli bits. It shows your ghibli bits.”
— Peyton (08:59)

• The pair debate acceptable nicknames for male anatomy, with a strict ban on “pee pee.”
• Hilarious story about Peyton’s crush examining his scan:

“She picked up the paper, like, ‘Oh, look at your pee pee.’ Don’t call it no pee pee.”
— Peyton (11:40)

3. TV Show Hot Takes & Tyler Perry’s ‘Beauty in Black’ (13:47–16:23)

• Cam gives a lively critique of Tyler Perry’s latest series, noting strong plots but laughably staged action sequences.
• They debate the challenge of getting invested in shows from the pilot episode, with Peyton admitting he usually skips season ones.

“Pilots are so hard.”
— Peyton (15:36)

4. Childhood Rituals: Music, Wrestling, and Imagination (18:47–25:42)

• Both hosts reminisce about childhood play—Cam’s R&B “living room section” concerts, Peyton’s fantasy wrestling matches with his stuffed Texas Longhorn “Bevo.”
• Peyton admits to “recreationally” wrestling stuffed animals at age 14:

“I was about to be able to drive a car by myself...I knew I should stop, but you ever go...”
— Peyton (22:26)

• Cam describes elaborate solo “Smackdown” reenactments with toys, reflecting on the creative ways kids “became men.”

5. Cultural Upbringing Differences: Bags, Scooters, and Streetlights (29:14–33:32)

• They contrast childhood lessons on shopping etiquette: Peyton always asked for a bag and a receipt, a practice Cam sees as odd until understanding the cultural (racial) context behind it.
• Cam and Peyton compare notes on suburban vs. rural rules about biking, leaving scooters on the sidewalk, and curfews based on streetlight timers.

"If I'm outside and the street lights are off, I'm outside too long."
— Peyton (32:39)

6. Public Poop Etiquette & Bathroom Stories (41:07–55:36)

• Cam and K. Rob’s joint bathroom escapades are dissected, including a run-in with a dramatically offended stranger.
• Peyton is appalled at their lack of modesty, while Cam insists pooping is nothing to be ashamed of, especially in public bathrooms.

“You take a poop in public like you’re trying to break into Fort Knox.”
— Peyton (43:24)

• Spirited debate about where to draw etiquette lines—at clubs, funerals, and even the possibility of taking your shirt off to poop (which Peyton admits he now does).

“I’m 26. I’ve started to do it. No way. That is a myth. No. I gotta take my shirt off.”
— Peyton (50:15)

7. Showering at the Gym: Music Debacle & Naked Truths (36:07–40:43)

• Cam recounts the mortification of his phone blasting a unique Childish Gambino ringtone in the gym shower, dealing with judgment from “grizzly” firefighter-types.
• The pair debate whether it’s ever acceptable to play music in a communal shower (Peyton says yes, Cam diplomatically disagrees).

8. Can You Name 1,000 People? (56:03–62:37)

• Peyton doubts it’s possible to name even 40 people he knows by both first and last name; Cam confidently claims he could list 1,000, sparking a rapid-fire name challenge.

“I don’t think I can confidently name 40 people that I know first and last name. I do not think that is possible for most people.”
— Peyton (56:04)
“When I was young, I used to think if I was held hostage and they said, ‘You can’t leave until you can name a thousand people you know,’ I always had confidence that I could do it.”
— Cam (56:41)

9. Dating Mishaps: “Bass Fishing” (64:24–68:09)

• They coin the term “bass fishing” for being pleasantly surprised when a date is much better looking than their photos would suggest, discussing whether they’ve ever been “bass fished” or the opposite.

10. Generational “Brain Rot” Slang Quiz (71:12–78:39)

• Peyton quizzes Cam on Gen Z/TikTok slang—words like “chopped,” “cindy,” “saibal,” and deep-fried memes like “my mother ate fries” and “six, seven.”
• Cam alternates between wins and hilarious confusion:

“If there’s a kid right now in a local junior high walking around going, ‘my mother ate fries. Tanya ate slices.’ Like, put that kid in ISS right now. You’re such a dad.”
— Cam (76:00)

11. Letterman Jackets, Yearbooks, and Awkward Nostalgia (82:11–88:13)

• Peyton and Cam revisit high school traditions—the pride (and cringe) of letterman jackets, collecting patches for every achievement, and the sting of lonely yearbook-signing moments.

“You saw the video that went viral of my me graduating high school. I was sitting alone in my high school graduation. Dude, I sat alone.”
— Peyton (88:04)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “No, I don’t go to Burning Man. You know, you can’t buy food out there. You gotta give him shillings.”
  — Peyton (88:54)
• “I tried to break my arm a lot. …I always wanted somebody to sign my cast so I felt like I was loved because no one would sign my yearbook.”
  — Peyton (85:10)
• “You worship your poop.”
