About this episode

In this milestone 500th episode, Lisa and Sam explore the dynamics of their friendship through humor and debate.

What makes a friendship last 500 episodes, twisted honesty or relentless mockery? Will Lisa and Sam ever agree on anything and are they just saying what everyone else is thinking (but not brave enough to admit)? Will arguing about the pronunciation of "chipotle" or "tankini" ever resolve, or is that just another chapter in the saga of Lisa vs Samantha? Are you more of a pop culture fanatic like Sam, or just weirdly obsessed with God’s D-list like Lisa? Is having fake food allergies grounds for public shaming, or just another dinner out with friends? Can two people drive across Canada together and still want to speak? How many times have you tried to pass off "mushroom dislike" as a life-threatening allergy? Do you secretly judge people wearing too-small Crocs, or are you too busy singing about pink tassel boots in the parking lot? Did the Shapermint challenge have Lisa and Sam eating crow? Ever realized you have a favorite stove burner and questioned your life choices? Is it normal to trust your front left burner more than the back ones or is that just Lisa? Listen to shout outs from OG fans, questionable menu updates and reminders that real friendship means riffing on everything…
