Have you heard about Steven Shaw's Mushroom-fueled jet ride? Well, buckle up because this small-town problem goes airborne! It involves a guy from Vermont, an airport in New Jersey, and some dry-humping. But first, Rick excitedly shares how Sebastian Maniscalco handled a heckler who didn't appreciate his non-political Elon bit, Liz stands her ground as a mom, and Evan wins big on Keno!

Whoah, late episode drop here. Sorry. Ok, Let's talk about people who take a good idea and then go all in. And then they want you to comply with them. And then they publicly shame you when you don't. We're talking about a mom on the sidelines of youth sports!

This episode continues the "welcome back from break" vibe as Liz returns with some great stories she found online. Rick co-hosted a month's worth of comedy shows at Jacques Cabaret and still identifies as a very handsome straight man. Evan goes traveling and the whole trip is SNAFU.

Rick goes off on technology sounding like he was born about 100 years later than he should have. Then Liz has an update to the update about the sledding hill shutdown in Wellesley, MA and Evan isn't interested in the justification. And, two weeks into Evan's quest to lose 30 pounds, he only has 30 pounds to go! Keep it up champ!

In the second half, we learn about a kid who turns down an offer for his prized baseball card from the Pittsburgh Pirates. That offer was valued at more than a million dollars. However, this kid is taking the card to auction for a huge haul and then will donate ALL OF IT to the California wildfire victims.

This week, the gang reads some emails they've received lately. They're good because they present accountability, critical thinking, and a desire for higher standards. The show needs these things, and Rick, Liz, and Evan appreciate the feedback. Also, Liz is big on six-word stories. Evan's business is growing, and Rick learned how to read a crowd last weekend opening for Kevin Farley.

Rick says the Pacific Coast Highway from San Fransisco to San Diego is a great road trip. Then, the group discusses the devastation wildfires have brought to LA.

Mindful that this show fits in the Comedy genre, everybody jumps into their resolutions, or commitments to a personal goal.

How much weight does Evan want to lose? What's his target weight? Follow his journey for inspiration!

Liz is laughing more in '25 and even has a pair of tickets to see Nate Bargatze to ensure the momentum carries on.

Rick is getting on stage more. This weekend he'll be opening for Kevin Farley (Chris's brother) in New Hampshire. Now he just needs to get a workflow in order to manage it all.

Finally, Liz gushes about meeting the 90s actor from Party of Five that she was totally in love with on the show. His name is Scott Wolf. Hear what Liz has to say and decide if he's cool or if he's a dick.
