Jordan and Katie wax nostalgic about the golden days of magazine collages and ransom note aesthetics, then shift gears into the wild world of AI, as JHo tries to figure out if his kid’s calculus grade is pure genius or just a well-played ChatGPT assist.

The fitness world gets spicy as they tackle Metfix, which sounds like a workout plan but might just be a secret club with a confusing marketing strategy. But hey, nothing says “join us” like not knowing what you’re signing up for, right? They also highlight the art of making sales calls without sounding like a desperate ex, plus the vital need to mix in some Padres smack talk to keep things fun. Oh, and let's not forget: rest is apparently good for you, unless you’re on a four-wheeler in Iowa—then it’s optional.
