We recorded this episode a few weeks after the holidays, so it seemed like a good time to do a little housekeeping and clean up some loose ends. We thank a very generous friend from Cedar Falls for a nice donation to the swear jar to benefit the American Cancer Society and explain why that's our charity of choice.

After that was out of the way, we explore our deep history with late-night television and how it shaped our worldview and sense of humor. We examine the current state of late-night TV and what the future might hold.

This episode drops right before the 2026 Super Bowl, so we take some time to review our favorite stories of the last NFL season. It was a wild one filled with ups & downs, surprises, eye-rolls, and retirements.

Getchyer ears on, good buddies, because we use the whiparound to reveal our CB handles! What's a CB handle? Google it, kids! This conversation led to some laughs about our favorite trucker songs, so naturally we put together a playlist of some classics. Did we miss your favorite trucker song? Drop us a note! Put the hammer down, and we'll see you on the flip-flop!
