In this ep, Tim looks back on the time he became “the boy who cried Birthday” in Botswana, while Greg remembers the moment a Cop car turned its siren lights on as he was pulling a U-turn in Mexico. The boys also talk UPS drivers driving without doors, the different types of collectors on vacation, Turkey banning the gay cruise that Patti LuPone was signing on, and people who aren’t “dessert people”.
