Episode 583: F** Summer, F*** Drake, F*** Shingles

In this week’s brutally honest and hilariously offbeat episode, Brian and Ed deliver scorching hot takes on everything from pretentious indie bands and seasonal weather hatred to Drake’s fake abs and Aaron Rodgers’ surprising moment of principle. Along the way, they break down who died this week, discuss the bizarre world of Olympic fencing doping scandals, and remind listeners why Manuel in Gardenia remains podcast voicemail legend (for better or worse). Oh—and there’s a Jesus tattoo and some Sofia Vergara jealousy thrown in for good measure.
