Luke just composed "the Yelp review of a lifetime!" after some shady shenanigans by the world's grumpiest HVAC company. He and Andrew also discuss One Battle After Another in detail now that they've both seen it. (They save the movie talk for the very end of the show, with plenty of warnings for listeners who want to avoid spoilers. Movie talk begins about one hour and twenty minutes into the podcast.)
Andrew narrowly avoided getting into a fight in a barroom bathroom this weekend. Luke somehow slipped into a wormhole and lost a chunk of time in the Portland airport. And a listener's dog learns to play the blues. Photo Credit: Eflon on Flickr

A story about A.I. generated podcasts has Luke legitimately worried about the future…and his livelihood. He's also got some very bad news for Andrew regarding sasquatch.

Luke makes a wonderful discovery about his neighborhood, thanks to his dog-sitting responsibilities. He also tells Andrew about a cringy moment on the Howard Stern Show that they can both learn from. And a listener calls-in with another (very interesting!) correction to a previous discussion about Warwick Davis.
Luke is dogsitting this week, and his dogological clock is spinning out of control. Andrew also has a doggy-date on the horizon that he's a little nervous about. They also discuss the Phillies fan who essentially took a baseball away from a child in the stands.

After Andrew's failure to help Luke with his stand-up routine, Luke turns to A.I. for some jokes. Plus, Morrissey is ready to sell his stake in the songs he wrote for The Smiths, and you know he's serious because he set-up a gmail account and posted it on Instagram.
Andrew has learned how to properly pronounce the word "pestilence." Unfortunately, it's because he's dealing with it right now. Meanwhile, Luke is shocked by the list of careers he can choose from while applying for a new credit card.
Andrew tries and fails to help Luke with his stand-up routine. Luke made the questionable decision to watch Sexy Beast with his dad. Andrew made the right decision to overcome his fears and watch Weapons at the theater.

Luke finally gets the high-profile media shout-out that he's been waiting for. Andrew giggled his way through the new Naked Gun movie last night. And passengers are suing two airlines for charging them extra for window seats that don't have windows.
