Episode 449: The Absurd Appeal of Spongebob

[nobody knows about ad-free episode better than me!]

Not every Apple Watch is trapped on the wrist…the new “It all starts with a shift”, or “Pets always can’t make us stop hugging them”? Only time will tell. And you can see the time by looking at your old watch which you have shoved into a Game Boy case and put on your nightstand for some reason. Until then, we’ll always have hot swappable, quick reload boba tea cups – for the tactical milkshake drinker on the go!

As an earwax super-producer, I highly recommend getting an ENT who will use the ear vacuum thing on you. If you're ever in the Chicagoland area, I could hook you up with my man Dr. Lieberman.

Sorry about your dog. That's a bummer, and I hope you're doing okay.

My son was in the nicu too, born ten weeks early and in the nicu for 8 weeks - his bill was 1 million dollars. He turned 15 today and is taller than me now (I’m very short though). They’re not reporting medical debt at all to agencies now I guess, I stand with you in not paying the bill jf

Great episode but I didn't like the negative self talk from DB. I bet he's an enchanting dancer. Give it chance!

Sorry about your dog, JF. I hear Elon musk is going to add a Rainbow Bridge stop to the Nashville Hyperloop.

Great episode boys, unfortunately I couldn’t get past 10 minutes due to non-stop busting from how sexy this one is

Another Carolla-coded episode with the carpentry talk. We should start a campaign to get YKS on the Adam Carolla podcast. You guys would agree alot over your societal complaints. Just don’t bring up personal responsibility because Adam goes far right really fast.

For a spice blend give Harissa a try. Usually a paste but also comes in a powder rub. Very addictive

My wife and I loved the classic segment "Gay Guy of the Week" so that's one or two sales right there

I'm sorry to hear about the dog. Even critters that can annoy us can be sad to lose still.

I do appreciate being able to play Slay the Spire on my phone so I can sit on the toilet at work until it feels like my asshole is about to fall out. Sorry about your dog Jesse, I hope the kids handled it okay.

I imagine Dan beating the bushes with a broom and a bunch of Steve Wallises scurry out.

"I'm sure your job sucks, but fuck you" would be a great bumper sticker for my loud lifted truck
