Cold Open & Intro: Bumper Stickers, Baby Names, and the Karen Apocalypse
At 1:40 · chapter starts 0:00
Bobby Lee opens the episode claiming to be living in the moment after spotting a bumper sticker that read 'If you get near me, I drive slower' — a declaration he found infuriating. Andrew Santino jokes that Bobby has gone full Miyagi, setting the tone for a free-associative cold open. The conversation drifts to ruined baby names: Karen has fallen out of the top 800, while Andrew controversially claims Adolf is making a comeback. A competitive game breaks out to find a name with zero recorded uses in 2024/2026 data, with Bobby nominating Pol Pot and Andrew countering with Genghis Khan. A live search confirms both sit at zero, and the game is declared a tie. The segment is pure chaotic opener energy — fast, absurd, and immediately funny.

The Obsession Movie Review: Great Premise, No Payoff
Andrew Santino liked the horror movie Obsession; Bobby Lee called it terrible and spent 15 minutes explaining why — the villain's wish was too on-the-nose, the cat twist was telegraphed from miles away, and at 43 years old he simply wasn't scared. He even rewrote the villain's dialogue on the spot.
