Comedian and writer Brandon Wardell joins the pod to talk Sausage McGriddles, coexist stickers, and Bikini Bottom. The gang also covers blacking out at minor league baseball games, eating 20 pounds of eggplant to catch a buzz, and Brandon’s business pitch: Mamava Pods After Dark. Plus, they invent old-timey baseball names and draft sayings that don’t exist.

I said, since I've become an adult, I haven't gone in. I got reamed out. How do you even set it up? I was on, like, SAG. I'm on SAG health insurance right now. Got it. Okay. Which is, like... Is it good? Really good. It's really good. Yeah.

He said, no, no, no. Oh, but he said, shout out to the WNBA. You got some finance girls. I don't know. No. And that's... I'm sorry. I'm sorry he said that. I hate this song.
You're apologizing on behalf of Will B. But yeah, he said, let's play a game of 21. It's really fun. He wants to play Kevin Durant in a game of 21. Yeah. Yeah, Kevin Durant just like, he was being negative. And so he cursed him. There's a lot of lore here. He went on ESPN a couple times. Yeah, he was wearing grandma earrings on ESPN. I don't know if it was first take.
Why'd they give him a platform to do that? Because he's the man. Got clicks. Yeah. You guys never... I've never heard of Lil B. You've never heard of Lil B?

Chapter 7: How does AI affect our perception of content?
Chapter 8: What are some sayings that don't exist?
Oh, is it the pancake one? Dude. I've never had one either.
The griddles are fucking... I have it right now. I was thinking of a McMuffin.
Same. Is this your go-to? Yes. Wow. The griddles are fucking awesome. And the logo, that's so cute. It's science food.
That's also a veteran play because a lot of people get the one with the egg and cheese too. That one's overkill. This is the best one. I always, like, because they ask, they're like, sausage, like, I'm like, no, no, just sausage. This is fun. I don't really like the cheese there. I mean, it's fine. And the egg they put on this one is different than the... It's not the scramble.
Yeah, it's like a folded scramble. It's like a whole fucking thing. It's a folded log. Yeah. You would get overwhelmed. What are we talking about? If you get egg and cheese on your McGriddle, it's a fucking nightmare. But it's just sausage. Yeah. Those are the best ones. But so those types of patties, those are my favorite. Wait, did you take them back? No one in LA has those. It's good.
We're leaving all this in. I'm good. Millie's has those. Oh, I'm good. I got... This is crazy. This like... You like it? Yeah. I mean, are you guys... It's like... It's just... It's like... Yeah.
