We tried to write a proper description for this and couldn’t decide on what all to highlight so here’s a bunch. Selena comes over. At some point we decide to go through her DMs. We talk about her mental health. We get into her’s and Benny’s wedding. We talk about Taylor and the insanely thoughtful gift she gave Selena. There are multiple arm wrestling contests with surprising end results. Selena bonks her head at one point. No one edits it out. It’s just us hanging out with our friend (and spouse).

Benny says there’s no chance. They decide to settle it the only way that makes sense: with a bet. What follows is a rollercoaster discussion about math, pizza weight, digestion, and whether any of this is remotely possible. There are rules. There is a scale. There is a lot of food. It goes from joking to concerning and back again, and Jay Shetty comes by to weigh in (sorry) towards the end. That’s basically the episode. Thanks for watching!

Lizzo comes over. We talk about Prince, losing our virginities, winning Grammy's, the best and worst days of Lizzo's life, idolizing Allen Iverson, and holding in farts. At one point Lizzo shows us her flautist skills and scores our fake movie trailers. Then we freestyle and things get very inappropriate so probably don't listen to this with your parents! Unless you have that kind of relationship I guess. Thanks for listening - we respect you!

Maybe we got overconfident after inventing this brand new form of multimedia entertainment. We thought coming up with another genius invention would be easy for us but we realized we don't know anything and we don't know how to do anything. Have you ever tried to be inventive?
