Plus: Alternative Tentacles, a friendly new AI companion, and more.

With Trevor strapped for time, Josh turns to a handful of Qs that aren't substantial enough to create a full show on their own, but have immense power when joined together via the power of the Grab Bag. Trevor deftly navigates a blitz involving the Super Bowl, shoes in the house, karaoke, and more.

Note 1: this episode was recorded on Thursday, November 7th, which is three days after Election Day. Note 2: starting with this episode, we will no longer be haphazardly bleeping out our occasional cussing. With those notes out of the way, enjoy the discussion on sleep... and many other things.

In an era of hyperconnectivity, is individualism dead? Probably, but we can pretend it's not as Trevor explains his love of the reviled and the obscure. Also: we break our non-existent Patreon, ask a Mini Q, insult a prominent satirist, and more in this wild and unpredictable episode. 

Flow state. Being locked in. Not being in a beehive of anxiety for one minute. These all describe what Trevor calls "the groove". In this episode, Josh talks about how he enters his. Plus: what being asked to be a contract killer says about you, sweet babies versus male manipulators, and more.

Fear not: the boys cover plenty of new ground, including strip clubs, being gay in the 90s, infertility myths, and more.

Josh's question posits that there are certain albums that transcend individual preferences, time, and even space.
