WEDS PT 1: Amy's Interested In An Older Man + Listener Furious With Bobby + Amy On How To Survive A Kidnapping
A 79-year-old British nobleman named Sir Benjamin Slade is publicly seeking a young woman to inherit his fortune, estate, and title—ideally one who can bear him children—sparking a wild debate on the podcast. Amy, one of the hosts, jokingly considers applying, revealing her own self-awareness about age and desirability in a relationship. The conversation quickly turns into a satirical exploration of wealth, power, and the absurdity of transactional romance, with the hosts dissecting the man’s $66,000 annual allowance as laughably insufficient for a 'sugar mama' lifestyle. Meanwhile, a listener’s secret savings account—hidden from her spendthrift husband—raises ethical questions about financial secrecy and trust. The episode also dives into a bizarre real-life story of a 76-year-old woman scammed out of $160,000 by someone impersonating Liam Neeson, prompting a darkly humorous 'scam draft' where the hosts debate which celebrities would be most effective for fraud. The most intense segment comes from survival tips for kidnapping: dropping full body weight, screaming specific details like 'call 911, blue van, parking lot,' and fighting at the first location. These tactics, shared by a survivor, are delivered with a mix of gravity and absurdity, especially when the hosts suggest 'pulling wiener' as a combat move.
Drop full body weight immediately if kidnapped—dead weight makes it harder to be carried.
Scream specific details like 'call 911, blue van, parking lot' instead of vague 'help' to trigger faster emergency response.
Never get into a vehicle during a kidnapping—fight at the first location where hope still exists.
A $66,000 annual allowance is not enough to justify a 'sugar mama' lifestyle; real sugar mamas demand $50k/month.
If you're hiding money from a partner, it's ethically defensible if for family emergencies or vacations, but not for personal escape funds.

The 79-Year-Old Man Seeking a Young Heir
“If he's a multi-multi-millionaire, I don't know why he hasn't found anybody because over the years he's used newspaper ads, television appearances and even dating apps in search of his future wife. So something's up with him more than just what we know here.”
The Secret Savings Account Dilemma
“If you're doing it for the sake of the family, it's okay. If you're doing it to hide, to buy you some stuff or to have in case that stuff doesn't work out, I think it's a bit different.”
The $160K Liam Neeson Scam
“Liam Neeson's a good option for 76. If we were drafting celebrities to pose as, to scam with. You don't think Liam Neeson's a vibe? It's a vibe.”
Kidnapping Survival Tactics from a Survivor
“Never get in. Now, obviously it's hard to do, but if you do make yourself heavy with your dead weight, your screaming specifics, then you're hopefully setting up a situation where you're not put in a car, taken to a second location because she said a second location is where hope ends.”
The Woman Rowing from California to Hawaii
A woman is rowing a boat across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii—a journey expected to take 2–3 months. The hosts express awe at her endurance, her live-streamed meals (tortillas with peanut butter), and her rare ocean bath after 12 days.
“And then she says, never get in. Now, obviously it's hard to do, but if you do make yourself heavy with your dead weight, your screaming specifics, then you're hopefully setting up a situation where you're not put in a car, taken to a second location because she said a second location is where hope ends.”
“I feel like Liam Neeson's a good option for 76. If we were drafting celebrities to pose as, to scam with. You don't think Liam Neeson's a vibe? It's a vibe.”
“If he's a multi-multi-millionaire, I don't know why he hasn't found anybody because over the years he's used newspaper ads, television appearances and even dating apps in search of his future wife. So something's up with him more than just what we know here.”
