We have some serious discussion about the recent spate of US mass shootings but also consider whether Ian McKellen is a Shakespeare genius or hack. To get a fresh perspective on global affairs, Kim recommends the wild Chinese anti-US propaganda action film Wolf Warrior II.

After quizzing ourselves on the Wonders of the Ancient World, Kim & Camilo reminisce about their great Halloween costumes of yore while Jen remembers being... 'Turtle Girl'. This episode's main topic is a Top 15 list of what someone our age should be doing to keep their mind sharp. Since none of us manage to add up how many items on the list we actually do, we clearly have our work cut out for us. Episode cringe factor: 8.3/11

    Another half-baked one but not really! On the eve of Camilo's departure for his beloved homeland, Espania, we talk about the massive flop that is 'Bros' and if homosexuals were obligated to go and see Billy Eichner's rom-com.  Kim schools us on currency and Jen admits she loved the much-maligned 'Blonde'. And all three of us try to remember if there was a movie from our childhood that we hated and "triggered" us and since Camilo has no heart, he can only come up with childhood classic,  E.T. Jen and Kim do not agree. The Gen X-factor on this episode is high, like a 10.

Even though no one gave us any good advice in the 80s, we're now doling it out whether solicited or not. Jen is admonishing smoking college students, Kim is mentoring wayward young professionals and Camilo is maybe getting dumped by his therapist. We try to pick up a sponsor, but Jen keeps torpedoing our chances.

    Once again into the potato-verse, this time because we are racing against the clock of Jen's slowly baking potatoes. Once they're ready, she's gonna be out! Camilo and Kim are shocked to learn that kids these days are regressing, shunning emojis and listening to Huey Lewis and the News. And Jen lets us know that even though everyone was locked indoors for months, no one is having kids. What people -do-seem to be doing is micro-dosing Schedule 1 drugs, according to Kim's sources.
