An offhand comment about fans using Bad Friends as sleep audio sends the episode into an exploration of ASMR culture. Bobby reveals he has been using an app called Elvish Whispers — Lord of the Rings-flavored soft whispering sounds — to fall asleep at night.

Andrew says he assumed ASMR was exclusively a women's medium until he discovers a thriving ecosystem of male ASMRtists. The segment is a perfect comedy spiral: genuinely surprising information delivered with zero self-consciousness.
