About this episode

Ralph checks in from Alaska, where a low-attendance late-night cruise show turns into an unexpectedly intimate comedy win. The brothers go off on Philly cheese steaks (are they overrated?), Buffalo wings, and regional food pride before reflecting on the 40th anniversary of Live Aid — from Queen’s iconic set to Simple Minds’ unlucky follow-up slot. Later, they unpack the week’s Facebook question: What would you do with $20 million? Some would disappear. Some would donate. Some would just get a better driveway. Also: bats, bugs, the Amish, and ChatGPT-generated art. Classic $18 Dollar chaos.
