Bobby Lee's fully-formed plan to appear on Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed involves refusing to answer any questions, faking a narcoleptic fit mid-show, and having producer Jules's mom walk out in a dominatrix outfit with a rabid dog named Julio. His manager shut it down immediately.
Rob and Josh play Imagine This with a listener's scenario: a retired police dog looking for part-time vacancies. Rob pictures a German shepherd in a faded police shirt jogging the perimeter of a working dog compound. Josh imagines a generic medium-large dog with glasses reading the paper.
Rob Beckett recounts being ambushed mid-shot on a golf course by a man who introduced himself while Rob was trying to hit out of someone else's fairway in the rain. The man specialised in 'high performance in sport and life' and asked if Rob was interested. Rob said no.
After a bad restaurant meal, Bobby had a Niagara Falls situation while Andrew describes his as a Pompeii explosion. The conversation escalates into Andrew predicting his friend Andrea Jin had exactly 8 minutes to race home before catastrophe, which proved exactly correct.
Bobby compares his entire career to a remora suckerfish latching onto larger hosts and riding them until they deflate, then finding a new shirt to grab. It's the most honest and funniest career retrospective you'll hear.
Andrew has been humming the Rudy theme in the shower, calls the film a perfect inspirational story, and argues Bobby IS Rudy — the small Asian kid from Poway who made it to the big show. Bobby disagrees because he's done way more than one sack.
The crew is asked who distresses them more between Bobby and Andrew. Carlos says Bobby is harder to read — a wild card whose energy is unpredictable — while McCone sides diplomatically with Andrew. Bobby promises to be an open book going forward.
The hosts discover Bad Friends is apparently ASMR content — babies and adults alike fall asleep to it. Bobby reveals he uses an app called Elvish Whispers to fall asleep but admits the genre makes him inexplicably aroused, especially when it's a woman whispering.
Will Arnett introduces Ike Barinholtz as one of those rare people you're always happy to see — a Mad TV veteran, co-creator of Running Point, and breakout star of The Studio. The warmth in the room is instant.
Ike Barinholtz hosts a weekly solo trivia podcast called Funny You Ass, and he puts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett through a live round on the spot. Highlights include Will nearly getting the Battle of Hastings right, Jason correctly identifying the year Oldsmobile shut down, and a debate over whether Wayne Gretzky or Alexander Ovechkin is the NHL's all-time leading scorer.
