As long as you’re seeing this the first 12 hours of release then April fools! But also not, because Johnny is taking over the show for real, for fun but for real, with a film about a Seal and a kid that he grew up on yet Andrew holds no knowledge of… until this episode. They also gab about Project Hail Mary, the recent Oscar ceremony, Louis Theroux Inside The Manosphere, Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come, How To Make A Killing, Colleen Hoover’s Reminders Of Him and The Magic Faraway Tree. We are an eclectic bunch.
