Today's show is a 2-for-1 deal! Luke and Andrew begin with a classic Friday Fridge Cleanout with stories about the search for Amelia Earhart's plane and the woman who captured America's heart when she ran into Conan O'Brien on the subway. Then they dive deep into a (spoiler filled) discussion of the new Nathan Fielder film about Elizabeth Holmes. (If you haven't seen the movie and want to avoid spoilers, that conversation begins at the 42-minute mark and continues throughout.)
