Stranger Empathy & Sticker Jealousy
Episode description
Matt Bragg and Josh Gondelman trade office gossip, trolley rage, and sticker envy in a night of good-natured grievances.

Halloween Mix-Ups: Josh and his wife go as the Gallagher brothers—only to be mistaken for Run-DMC—and redeem the night with a tracksuit-themed karaoke marathon. Cart Crimes: Matt vents about people who leave shopping carts loose in parking lots, and together the hosts uncover a “study” proving they’re society’s unsung heroes. Sticker Shock: Josh laments missing out on limited-edition early voting “I Voted” stickers.
