Listener Sean submitted the revelation that he eats quality vanilla ice cream — the kind with actual vanilla pod flecks — on cold, already-cooked garlic bread. Josh assumed it was a pregnant woman.

Sparked by the idea of the school gate snog, Rob and Josh fall into a genuinely curious discussion about kissing. Rob reflects that kissing might be more intimate than other sexual acts — you literally cannot be closer to someone's face. He imagines announcing to his wife Lou that they should 'have a snog for a bit, nothing more' mid-documentary on the sofa, purely for its own sake. Josh thinks back to how exciting snogging was early in a relationship and concludes the tragedy is that the novelty inevitably fades. Rob's assessment: 'you've just snogged too much, that's the problem.' When Rob asks Josh when he last 'snogged with tongues', Josh deadpans that it was around 6am that morning while his wife was asleep.
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.
