Podbit · The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
Scott Galloway put himself through junior year at UCLA as a sperm donor, earning $120 a week — and was their most in-demand donor because he was tall and Jewish. The 'chocolate and peanut butter' of donor profiles, until his mom made him stop.

Owen's question unlocks one of the episode's most entertaining detours. Scott immediately identifies with the situation — he funded his junior year at UCLA in 1985 through sperm donation, earning $120 a week.

Despite passing out, Scott was called back three times a week — far more than his more athletic friends — because the clinic told him he was tall and Jewish, the 'chocolate and peanut butter' of donor profiles. His mother eventually made him stop, worried about inadvertent sibling marriage among his potential offspring. For Owen, Scott's advice is measured: there's nothing inherently wrong with it, it helps people in need, but the decision hinges on personal and religious values. He notes the industry is more regulated now, and mentions a notification service where donors can optionally make contact with biological children — something he's considered but hasn't done, daunted by the potential scale.
Scott Galloway earned $120 per week as a sperm donor at UCLA in 1985, which covered his room, board, and fraternity bill for the year.
A broken pipe turned the Bad Friends studio into a hydrogen sulfide chamber. The crew denied smelling anything — which, as Andrew pointed out, makes their home lives deeply suspicious.
At a childhood sleepover in Sacramento, Bobby Lee's friends drew penises all over his face while he slept. He woke up, cried, and walked 7 miles down a dirt road before Eric Purvis's mom drove out to retrieve him.
On KSI's Make Me Laugh show, Bobby Lee got slapped so hard he fell and briefly blacked out — 5 minutes into the event. The rule was to use a tortilla, but the contestant used his bare hand instead.
What starts as a riff on Amber Alerts turns into an elaborate Speed remake: Bobby is a Hollywood tour guide whose bus shares a route with a kidnapper's identical bus, there's a bomb on board, and Keanu Reeves needs to be called immediately.
Their producer riffs a conspiracy theory about Lindsey Graham's death in Kyiv, which somehow leads to Bobby and Andrew discovering that every lyric of 'A Whole New World' from Aladdin secretly describes 9/11. They are disturbingly convincing.
Bobby Lee woke up Saturday morning to find three children splashing in his pool, along with a professionally hired swimming teacher — all arranged by friends who have keys to his house. His response: 'There's just too much joy here.'
Harold Ramis told a story about Caddyshack's cast doing drugs all day and night during Florida storm delays, with half their pay going to cocaine. Bobby Lee immediately wants to make that exact movie — and offers to relapse to do it.
Robby Hoffman had never heard of 'new towels.' A towel, in her world, was built with the house. When Sarah Silverman announced she'd bought new pool towels, it was a class-gap revelation.
Will Arnett pitched the perfect rich-person home for Robby: seven-hundred-thread-count sheets and brand-new towels — but a tiny, wrecked kitchen with a coil stove, chips, and Sprite. Best of both worlds.
