To celebrate 100 beautiful episodes, Will, Rusty, and Lauren reflect on their fondest Playdate memories, share their favorite things about each other, and explain why 7–14 people is the perfect size for a group hang. They also talk high school firsts, tall babies, and revive the Permitting Division of the Building Department for an epic squirrel prank call. Plus, AFTV’s Liam Cullagh and Billy Langdon join to draft sayings, rom-coms, slang words, and country songs that don’t exist.

Chapter 6: What are the details of the epic squirrel prank call?
Damn right. If you need a sign to go try it, this is it, my friends. Hit the link in the bio to get it on Amazon. Let's get back to the episode.
um lauren if there were what is is if there's one memory from the hundred episodes of this podcast that we've had together that say that to you i talked about the one where i got my fingers stuck together you haven't talked about one yet but i have to think lauren it's all a blur it could be the fingers one too that was that was a good one um i don't know it's honestly just weird to think back to when we were in the old studio
Because that feels like eternities ago and when I barely knew you guys. I feel like the beginning stages of just getting to know each other's vibe was just very wholesome. And I remember just feeling, I was breaking out of my shell and just getting more comfortable. And that was just a fun process. seeing the flow and how it... I remember... Sorry, I was asleep.
What? I remember... I'm joking, I'm joking. ...noticing that you were starting to become more friendly with us, which I liked.
Well, I don't think I was ever not friendly.
We just didn't know each other that well. And now we're... Like, what are the odds that... Because you and I already knew each other. But, like, what if you just stunk? Or we stunk too?
Or what if I was a different person? What if you didn't... What if we found out you had, like, someone's skin on? What if you had Craig? What if Craig was your producer? Who's Craig?
oh he got fired didn't he yeah wait was the finger thing in the old office or this one old one right yeah i think so right yeah you just got fingered oh also i knew that was a joke No one's getting fingered. Everyone just settled down. I knew that was fake. Finger me now.
I knew that was fake.

Chapter 7: How do we draft sayings, rom-coms, and songs that don't exist?
Yeah, like a little.
You grew up in the 90s. Lauren's day starts every morning with that scene in the movies where they're fumbling for the clock. No, it's birds chirping.
It's better than mine. I have a fucking rooster and I can never find him.
No, I've been trying to charge my phone in the bathroom.
Oh, you leave it in the bathroom? Yeah, I've only done this like two nights in a row, actually. But it's been good because the amount of time I waste. The amount of times I open with the brick thing, like the amount of times I open Instagram and then it says like, you're bricked.
and like you it's so second nature that i do it like eight times you know what i mean like it's like even though i know that it's brick it's like that meme of the dog like where like its back is moving in one direction and it's thing and it's like me like opening and closing instagram yes yeah it's like i just keep opening even though every time i'm like oh wait no i can't but so i like read the i read like a article last night i forgot what it was about but it was put me right to sleep
I've gotten into this new... There's this account on Spotify that puts, like, very niche sleep noises. So it'll, like... You know how normally it's, like, waves crashing or rain or whatever? Yeah. This guy combines them. So last night I was listening to rain falling on a crackling fire. Oh, that sounds fun. It was awesome. Wait, doesn't that just put it out?
Well, I don't think he was doing... I don't think that's how he did it. He just took the two audio tracks and put them over each other. Got it. But so...
what i didn't they're like 15 hours long so it takes a minute to load yeah and so i fall asleep like really fucking quickly so i like press play put my phone on the thing and then go to bed and i pressed it last night laid down and like i was already like semi asleep after like three seconds and then a like loud ass like home depot ad because he has to monetize this so the first two and a Or ads.
