We haven’t podded for a minute so excitedly talk over each other about all kinds of subjects: Ione takes aim at Ben’s lack of compassion for the lowly Bin Chicken, we recap SXSW Sydney and Alexi Wasser’s visit. We discuss what makes the perfect houseguest, shirtless Travis Scott fans, Morrissey’s love life, The LA Times Presidential endorsement controversy, cheering on Lidia Thorpe while feeling co-dependent with the oppressor and the new Tegen and Sara documentary.

“Were you sad when David Blaine died?” asks Goldie, opening a fun hectic family pod episode. We realize she’s thinking of Houdini, and move on to cover growing up watching Nathan Fielder, generational concepts of gender, Big Mouth, getting the sex talk from your parents, and then do a listen through to Ben’s new album “This One’s for the Old Headz” OUT TODAY. We reflect on the themes of growing up, nostalgia, being friends with freaks and not giving up the fight.
