Every ten episodes a new seaon begins, apparently. On this, the last episode of season 2, the crew debates the RNC-related Grindr spike in Milwaukee, communal tables in restaurants and answers an advice question that has it all: dead mothers, intergenerational conflict, and restaurant etiquitte.

John and Youngmi begin by recounting their witnessing of the deadly July 4h incident on the Lower East Side where a drunk driver drove a pickup truck into a crowd of people. The crew then discusses the pros and cons of social media-based mental health diagnoses before tackling an advice question about not ending up where you though you'd be.

The crew begins by discussing the dynamics of emotional expression as it relates to gender expectations and neuroatypicality. The topic of mid-life crises re-emerges before a Thunderdome focusing on how to best think about receiving critical feedback. The advice section takles the oset of adult financial concerns.
