The Cookie Cartel

When a mysterious youth troop cons Nicky out of $100 and a dream of cookies, the studio descends into a blistering roast session, revealing how even the most streetwise among us can be suckered by a banner and badges. The crew examines the name of “the group” and unpacks what Nicky now calls “a leadership investment in Mesquite.” Spoiler alert: there were no cookies. Just a lollypop. Elsewhere, Lance spills Hollywood tea on Anderson, Neeson, Murphy, and the Pink Panther reboot. The cast debates burger greatness, Gregg tries to stop a trainwreck in real time, and SAM drops a haiku about identity and meat. Also: an awkward “make good” attempt for one of our main sponsors, and the haunting truth about behind sight.
