Poor Chandler. Technically, he's been living in a new house for nearly a month. In truth, he hasn't spent more than two days in a row in Vegas. He still feels like he hasn't moved! His head is spinning! Spencer had NO sympathy for him! What? Why? Because Chandler forced him to go to Lagoon and he threw out his back!!!! Even though Lagoon was busy last weekend, did the boys have fun? No ... the best part was watching two cops scraping up human poo by the TerrOride. Did you hear the news? After nearly 30 years, Conan O'Brien is ending his late night talk show! Do you think late night talk shows are dead like radio? FINALLY!!! The Bad Batch has made its debut on Disney+!!! Have you seen the first episode?!? Speaking of Star Wars, Disney has claimed that they have created a “real" lightsaber!! Have you seen it? What do you think!?? OH! Also, Weezer has a new album dropping this week! Chunga is normally lukewarm when it comes to Weezer but he's heard the album and thinks it's their best album in a long time! Why? Listen NOW to find out!!!
