Podbit · Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Dax and Monica discover that their mutual friend Robbie has four people in his close circle — all from the same small geographic area near Duluth — who have experienced seizures. On a live call with Robbie, he confirms it. They theorize a shared local water source. The podcast proposes a new investigative series.
The Pardon My Take crew debates the best stores and restaurants to live in forever. Costco wins unanimous first-pick status (food, alcohol, exercise equipment, trampolines). Dave and Buster's, Walmart, Dick's Sporting Goods, AMC Theaters, Magic City, Bass Pro Shop, and Mattress Firm all make the final rosters. Shane the producer suggests Blockbuster and gets destroyed.
Thin-lining bathing suits create a vacuum seal that causes awkward situations when getting out of the pool. The guys commiserate on the impossible position this puts you in — adjust and look suspicious, or don't adjust and look even worse.
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.
