The hosts humorously recount Adam Sandler’s less-than-successful “pickle arm” sketch on Weekend Update and discuss his casual attire, which somehow works only because of his fame.

The origin of Karl-Anthony Towns’ nickname “Bodega Cat” and a wild Uber story involving Joe List that’s both shocking and oddly hilarious.

Celebs like DiCaprio and Bloom rock man buns as a flex, and the idea of a ponytail on an accountant implies drug dealing. A funny breakdown of appearance and fame.

The hosts discuss bizarre porn genres based on beloved sitcoms, leading to discomforting but funny commentary about boundaries in parody culture.

Dolph Lundgren shares his past as a Fulbright scholar and chemical engineer, and how his dad discovered his acting career through a wild photo with Grace Jones.
