Crisis of the Bowels

The episode opens with a humorous deep dive into the 'Midwest Goodbye'—a prolonged, emotionally charged farewell ritual that can stretch from doorways to driveways, often involving lingering hugs, promises to return, and even forced departures. The hosts contrast this with their own family's emotional restraint, joking about their 'family of mouth kissers' and the awkward intimacy of unexpected lip contact. They pivot to a touching real-life story about Barney Mullen, a 78-year-old Denny's busboy in Phoenix who’s celebrated for 48 years of dedicated service, highlighting his resilience and the community’s admiration. The conversation then veers into wild territory with allegations that Katy Perry allegedly rubbed her genitals on Ruby Rose’s face at a club in Australia—claims that Rose says she only shared publicly after initially downplaying it as a 'drunk story.' The hosts dissect the absurdity of the claim with exaggerated humor, inventing terms like 'twaffle' and 'clam jam' to mock the scenario. Later, they cover a bizarre real-life incident where a naked woman, Tammy Canutt, assaulted customers and staff at a Giant Eagle grocery store before being arrested—her attorney citing mental health struggles. The episode also details the arrest of a 'bare-bottom burglar' in Virginia who was caught on drone footage entering homes naked, and a SWAT team incident where a deputy was caught scrolling through a dating app during a high-stakes operation.
