This episode is the perfect illusion! And the guest is stunning! He is a writer of moving television content such as Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Single Parents, Black Monday, Corporate, and more! Also his twitter is famously known (just ask Bowen!) And on top of all this he hosts the podcast I Said No Gifts! Yes, it's true! The guest is Bridger Winegar! Does he possibly do TWO IDTSH's?

Technical difficulties in the Dominican Republic iconically keep Bowen from recording this week, so Matt's other soulmate and fellow Gay Cold Survivor Joel Kim Booster jumps in quite literally last second to co-host a culture catchup that the readers de-SERVE despite the fact that Matt is not one of Joel's favorite friends (because of race).
