Show Notes
Chris and Erik get into toddlers renaming everything in the house, a Turkish word for the sadness that shows up inside happy moments, and why comics never really turn their emotions off. The guys debate a hot take that being a stay-at-home mom with help isn’t that hard (single working moms excluded), and the word “overstimulated” catches strays. Chris clears up the Turning Point mix-up and talks about comedians who only become your friend once you’re famous, the performative posting that follows a pile-on, and the internet’s “guilty until proven guilty” rule. Plus Tom Cruise running makeup with a stopwatch, the right way to cook an egg, whether Waymo wipes out rideshare jobs, a Gen Z stat from Playboy, and a Basic Instinct rewatch.
