    Jun 26 2025

    Jack and Brian open with their trademark banter riffing on the episode's tongue-in-cheek title: everyone claims to love vegetables, but nobody really does—setting a playful, satirical tone.

    From there, they launch into “Senator Quackers”, a political send-up where Jack embodies an absurd candidate (presumably a duck), delivering a humorous yet pointed take on modern election theatrics.

    That segues into an audio skit—an imaginative reading called “Biding Time with Biden”—featuring Kamala Harris, layered with surreal commentary in Brian and Jack’s signature smart-dumb style.

    Next, they shift into a nostalgic — and wildly entertaining — deep dive into 1980s MTV nostalgia, celebrating icons like Martha Quinn and Downtown Julie Brown. They riff on how MTV shaped pop culture, playfully contrasting then and now.

    Mid-episode, Brian dissects quirky cultural phenomenon by exploring the “hidden stories” behind famous song characters—offbeat anecdotes that latch into the episode’s quirky intellectual vibe.

    They then “travel” to Italy, poking fun at Tuscan reds and rolling their eyes at overhyped travel platforms—Airbnb versus “DrinkStay”—injecting snarky takes on contemporary vacation clichés .

    Later, Jack hits his comedic stride with the improvised book-pitch bonanza, tossing out ludicrous titles (A Treatise on Gravity by Jasmine Crockett, What by Joe Biden, etc.) with deadpan precision—one of the funniest highlights of the show.

    To close, they deliver a nostalgic salute to Nina Blackwood, wrapping up the episode with that classic affectionate-yet-absurd homage to ’80s pop culture .
