This week Tommy sits down with SoCal stand-up comedian Luis Noriega and returning guest, comedian and content creator Drew Martinez, for one of the crazier episodes we’ve had in a minute.

The guys get into what makes someone develop a humiliation kink, which leads Luis and Drew into talking about a different kind of humiliation: bombing on stage and what it feels like when a stand-up set goes completely wrong.

From there, the conversation gets weird with ghost stories and the paranormal before turning into a heated debate over one of the most important questions of all: who actually has the best burgers? Everybody has their spot, and nobody is willing to back down.

Just a wild episode full of comedy, embarrassing moments, ghost stories, heated arguments, and plenty of shit talking from start to finish.

Perfect for the drive, the gym, or just vibing with the headphones on.

This week Tommy and Ethan are holding it down for another episode full of wild theories, random stories, and conversations that somehow get way deeper than expected.

The guys start off talking about Burning Man and the infamous Orgy Dome, which naturally turns into a theory about Illuminati rituals and billionaires keeping the wealth in the family.

Tommy tells Ethan about being 22 and meeting a girl at a bar who had him meeting her family at a family party within a month. From there, Tommy gets into his list of older female celebrities who can still get it and tries to get Ethan onboard with the conversation.

They also get into My 600-lb Life and the realization that Tommy might somehow drink more soda than the people on the show. Things eventually get deeper with Larry and David Ellison, Paramount and Warner Bros., sending Ethan down a rabbit hole about America, China, manufacturing, TikTok, technology, politics, and whether we’ve slowly given up more control than we realize.
