Episode 578: Ghost Rooms, Gymnasts, and Cardi B’s Twerk Confessions
Brian and Ed are back with an absolute rollercoaster of a show. From staying in a haunted hotel room where a folk-rock legend died, to breaking down recent celebrity deaths (and how we’re all aging out of the pop culture we loved), to revisiting Mary Lou Retton's DUI, and ending up on Cardi B’s twerking declaration of love for NFL star Stefon Diggs—this episode has it all. The guys also cover shady cops, hotel room deaths, overly eager airline passengers, and how not to use your bodily functions in relationships. If you’re looking for smart banter, sharp opinions, and deep dives on pop culture, sports, and general weirdness—Episode 578 delivers.
