The conversation begins with a mutual confession: both Dax and Lukas independently chose not to speak to each other at Phineas's barbecue because they feared spoiling the podcast chemistry — neither knew the other was doing the same. Even David Letterman, Dax notes, exhibited the same nerves before an interview. The story pivots to the Road House premiere in Austin, Texas, where Gage recalls being completely out of his depth standing next to Post Malone, Jake Gyllenhaal, and a heavily drinking Conor McGregor. Dax reconstructs the evening in forensic detail: watching McGregor drain a fifth of whiskey during the screening, the security blockade outside the bathroom, McGregor hijacking every Q&A question directed at other cast members, and Dax tentatively beginning to make jokes at McGregor's expense with the very real risk of physical consequences. The night ended when McGregor's manager passed out in the audience — a providential exit for everyone.

Lukas Gage proudly announced that Conor McGregor fractured a disc in his back on the Road House set. The chaotic Austin premiere that followed — a drunk McGregor commandeering the Q&A while Dax tried to make jokes without getting beaten up — is one of the wildest behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories you'll hear.
