Happy 40th: 1986 Facts, Margaritas & Getaways

About this episode

The episode celebrates David's 40th birthday with chaotic discussions about aging, family trips, and pop culture.

A brand new intro nearly turns Terry into Dracula and David into Kevin McAllister, and honestly… it might be the most chaotic start we’ve had yet. It’s David’s 40th birthday week, so we get into turning 40, not being so hard on yourself, and a few very random 1986 “fun” facts (some of them absolutely not fun). Plus: first proper mummy-and-daddy trip since Myles was born, and the plan to get drunk for three days straight. Also on the menu: Coachella from afar, why Gen Z “don’t dance”, David getting heckled at a spa, Euphoria being “too much”, Cameron Diaz vs Sydney Sweeney, and a listener dilemma about a long-distance boyfriend acting shady.
