Listen to The Big Episode at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on the free Dopey Tuesday teaser, Dave wakes up at 5:41 in the morning feeling restless, spiritually shaky, and completely lost without meaningful Knicks news. After discussing the Allman Brothers, boring NBA rumors, Lena Dunham, and the dangers of listening to books by people he can't get on Dopey, Dave attempts a brand-new guided meditation.   In the first-ever Dopey garbage can meditation, we gather up our regret, inadequacy, self-hatred, financial anxiety, childhood bullshit, belly fat, and fear about the future. We throw it all into a dumpster, strap the dumpster to a rocket ship, and launch the entire fucking thing into the sun.   Then Lauren B. delivers an instant-classic “socks for stories” voicemail. During the early days of COVID, when she and her boyfriend were so broke they were smoking cigarettes off the ground, Lauren spotted what she thought was a receipt beside a puddle. Instead, she found an entire ounce of real heroin in a ripped plastic bag that appeared to have been hidden inside somebody's ass. The heroin kept them from hustling for several days—but after it ran out, Lauren bought something different and suffered her first overdose.   Dave also reads the Spotify and Patreon comments from Heart Attack Doug's birthday episode. The Nation debates whether Doug needs to reveal more of his recovery story, whether his defensive shtick is wearing thin, and why he may still be the perfect Dopey cohost. Plus: gluten-free chicken parmesan, Billy Joe Shaver, James Brown, decriminalization, grief, relapse, losing beloved dogs, and finding a way back when life wears you down. The episode closes with a heartfelt and imperfect cover of “Good So Bad,” a song that helped inspire a Dopey listener to get clean. The full Reddit Roundup with the great Cormac and difficult Selby is available exclusively on Patreon. plus more   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What do you do when you finish six years of architecture school, land in the profession, and realize none of it speaks to you? Evan and Cormac start with a former student on a Detroit construction tour who says the buildings around her are falling on deaf ears, and they take the question seriously instead of waving it off. They dig into the difference between dreading the work and feeling nothing for it, why the degree opens far more doors than the traditional path, and how meaning has to be found before happiness can follow it.From there the conversation widens into attitude and its contagious effect on a team, the collapse of the mentorship that used to teach young architects why a single line matters, and a misplaced fire department connection that reveals how coordination breaks down when nobody asks the question. This episode is especially relevant for emerging professionals second-guessing the path they chose, and for the people managing them. You'll leave with a harder, more honest frame: the situation is yours to change, and no one else is going to do it for you.

Evan and Cormac dig into why architects deliberately stop detailing at "design intent" instead of shop-drawing level, and how that decision has handed constructability over to contractors and manufacturers. They explore the level of detail (LOD) gap between US and overseas practice, a real design-assist story about pushing a terracotta fin cantilever further with a manufacturer, and why competitive bidding punishes architects who over-detail their own work. That leads into a wider conversation about why so much new construction feels generic and developer-driven, and why "breaking the mass" isn't the daring move it's marketed as. Using Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian houses and Sam Mockbee's Rural Studio as examples, they make the case that affordability is a design tool, not a constraint that kills architecture. This episode is especially relevant for project architects and BIM managers navigating construction documentation expectations, and for anyone frustrated by how mundane the built environment has become. It's a push to treat understanding construction and materials as the real path to bold, affordable design.

The Lexus LC500 might be one of the most underrated cars in recent times. Cormac delves into what makes this coupe so special. Future classic? You better believe it. Is a normal Range Rover not special enough for you? Maybe you need a Holland & Holland. Maybe you need a bespoke one-of-one?

Evan and Cormac catch up on Cormac's 6,800-mile road trip from Detroit to the AIA National Convention in San Diego with his daughter, built around a bucket list of architectural pilgrimage stops. They explore what happens when a non-architect finally sees a building that lands emotionally (Thorncrown Chapel), what happens when a canonical masterpiece doesn't (the Salk Institute reads as "a parking garage"), and what the 2026 AIA National Convention got right and wrong. This episode is especially relevant for architects who've ever tried to get a non-architect family member excited about a building they love, and for anyone curious what 18 states and 10 national parks look like when the itinerary is built around Route 66 gas stations, Louis Sullivan bank buildings, and a soda shop with a 66-foot bottle out front. Expect a reminder that the buildings people love most aren't always the ones architects were taught to revere.Buildings & Projects MentionedThorncrown Chapel — E. Fay JonesThe E.

In Episode 3 of Season 16, Sabrina Szeto speaks with Dr Cormac Purcell, astrophysicist turned geospatial scientist at BolgiaTen. BolgiaTen's project, developed through the GenAI for Geospatial Challenge, focuses on marine domain awareness: helping users understand where vessels are, what they are doing, and whether their reported movements can be trusted. The project addresses a major challenge in maritime intelligence. Automatic Identification System, or AIS, data is widely used to track vessels, but it is based on an open trust system and can be affected by GPS jamming, spoofing, or deliberate manipulation. This matters because incorrect or falsified vessel positions can have real consequences, from insurance risk and sanctions compliance to dark port calls, ship-to-ship transfers and activity in protected marine areas. In this conversation, Cormac explains how BolgiaTen combines AIS data, vessel context, ownership and maintenance information, and Earth observation data from open and commercial sources to build a more reliable picture of vessel behaviour. The episode also explores the role of generative AI in the project. BolgiaTen uses foundation models to accelerate vessel detection in Earth observation imagery and generative AI to support a natural language interface for the analysis pipeline. What once required specialist analysts to process imagery, interpret results and answer business questions can increasingly be supported through an agentic interface that helps orchestrate the workflow. Cormac also shares how AWS cloud credits helped the team move beyond an isolated prototype towards a more professional deployment pathway, closer to the environment used by their partner Lloyd's List Intelligence. The credits supported experimentation, integration and a higher technology readiness level prototype that can be tested with customers more quickly. The conversation also covers the importance of customer education: helping business users understand what Earth observation can and cannot do, how resolution, cadence, coverage and cost shape what is possible, and why clear communication of uncertainty is just as important as the underlying science.

What happens when the biggest AI security risk isn't the technology itself, but the people using it? In this episode, I sit down with Cormac Whelan, CEO of Nitro Software, to discuss why organizations need to rethink their approach to AI adoption. With research showing that 68% of C-suite executives are bypassing approved AI tools in favor of their own, we explore how an "ask forgiveness, not permission" culture is creating new security and compliance challenges for businesses around the world. Cormac shares why successful AI adoption begins with business outcomes rather than the latest model or headline-grabbing announcement. Drawing on his experience leading Nitro and previously building an AI company acquired by Apple, he explains why AI should be an enabler rather than the destination, and why organizations that focus on trust, transparency, and practical business value will ultimately pull ahead. Our conversation also looks at why documents, contracts, PDFs, and e-signatures have become some of the most overlooked parts of the enterprise AI conversation. As AI systems increasingly interact with sensitive business information, protecting document workflows is becoming just as important as securing networks and endpoints. We also discuss how European privacy standards are becoming a competitive advantage rather than simply another compliance requirement, how to separate genuine AI innovation from expensive security theater, and why AI should quietly improve the way people work instead of becoming the center of attention. If you're trying to balance AI innovation with security, governance, and business value, this conversation offers practical advice without getting lost in the hype. After listening, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Is your organization focusing on outcomes first, or is it still chasing the latest AI headline?

David Prutting joins Evan and Cormac to talk about what 50 years of building high-end contemporary homes has taught him about the relationship between architects, owners, and builders. They explore the trust triangle that makes or breaks a custom project, why David actively steers clients away from design-build, and the floor plan theory he's developed over decades: the stranger the plan, the better the architect was listening.This episode is especially relevant for architects at any career stage who want to understand how their work lands with the people who actually build it. David's perspective is rare — a builder who has spent five decades alongside Steven Holl, Toshiko Mori, Olson Kundig, and KieranTimberlake, who hires architects into his own construction firm, and who has been on both sides of the client chair. His book, A Builder's Life Done Well, is available on Amazon (link below).

Sven Shockey, FAIA joins Evan and Cormac to talk about Virginia Tech Academic Building One — a 300,000-square-foot computer science and computer engineering building on a new campus in Alexandria, Virginia whose faceted, photovoltaic-integrated form was derived through 1,400 computational iterations. They explore what it means to design a building's exterior before the interior program is finalized, how three distinct types of building-integrated photovoltaics get assigned to 17 different facades based on orientation and performance data, and what a sewage wastewater energy exchange system has to do with a tunnel under a parking lot.This episode is especially relevant for design architects and architecture students who want to understand how computational tools actually interact with design judgment — and for anyone who's ever wondered what it looks and feels like to sit inside a building where the facade is doing real work. The shadows move. The light is soft. The algorithm found a non-intuitive answer, and then the real design work began.Episode LinksGuestSven Shockey on LinkedInSven Shockey at SmithGroupSmithGroupSmithGroup websiteSmithGroup on LinkedInSmithGroup on InstagramVirginia Tech Academic Building OneProject page — SmithGroupVirginia Tech Innovation CampusFirst building nears completion — Virginia Tech NewsAlumnus plays large role in designing the campus — Virginia Tech NewsVirginia Tech's Striking New Building Pays Homage to the Sun — Interior DesignVirginia Tech Innovation Campus Academic 1 Building — Architect MagazineA Window to the Future — Inform MagazineDesign centers on sustainability & connectivity — SmithGroup (2020)First building nears completion — SmithGroup (2024)AwardsInterior Design Best of Year 2025 — Dual HonorsAIA Virginia 2025 Design AwardsContext: Virginia Tech & Amazon HQ2Virginia Tech Innovation Campus key to attracting Amazon HQ2 — Virginia Tech NewsRelated Work: DC Water HeadquartersDC Water Headquarters — SmithGroupPutting Wastewater to Work — SmithGroup PerspectivesDC Water HQ earns LEED Platinum — DC Water SmithGroup-----Thank you for listening to Archispeak.

LISTEN WITHOUT ADS FOR 25 Cents a day! www.patron.com/dopeypodcast Episode Summary Total Replay #25! Dave opens Monday's Dopey Total Replay by revisiting Dopey Episode 25 from April 2016, titled Cocaine Overdose, Prince. Before the replay, he talks about plans for the Dopey Recovery Film Festival in Manhattan, Patreon perks, the Tuesday Reddit Roundup with Selby and Cormac, and addresses listener reactions to a previous sex-and-love addiction email. He then reads a powerful email from Willow about long-term recovery through Sex Addicts Anonymous and finding sobriety after years of relapse. Next comes a wild voicemail from Bailey in Chicago involving the world's worst drug dealer, accidental crack purchases, a drunken camping trip, bachelor party chaos, abortion scam drama, crack smoking in a tent, and jumping out of a moving truck. Dave then reads Spotify and Patreon comments before launching the classic replay. In the 2016 episode, Dave and Chris react to Prince's death, speculate about addiction, and Chris repeatedly confuses Prince with Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury. They spiral into nonsense about Annie Lennox, Blondie, dancing, and music ignorance. Then Chris tells the main event: a brutal cocaine overdose story involving shooting a huge amount of coke in a bathroom, collapsing violently, a neighbor breaking the door down, and Chris still worrying about hiding the remaining cocaine instead of dying. The episode ends with more chaotic drug stories, sleepwalking on ketamine, early Dopey banter, and one of the first appearances of Chris saying “toodles.” Dave returns afterward reflecting on Chris, the strange beauty of these old recordings, and invites listeners to stay involved with Dopey Nation.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 1, 2026 is: Beltane • BEL-tayn • noun Beltane refers to the Celtic May Day festival. // Beltane falls each year approximately halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. See the entry > Examples: “On May 1, we celebrate what began as the ancient Celtic holiday of Beltane. ... It started at sundown April 30, when, according to Celtic lore, the evil spirits that had wreaked havoc on humans since Halloween had a last fling before the dawning of May 1 cast them into their annual six-month exile. The night of April 30 is still celebrated, especially abroad, with bonfires and revelry.” — Deane Morrison, The Owatonna (Minnesota) People's Press, 26 Mar. 2026 Did you know? To the ancient Celts, May Day marked the start of summer, and a critical time when the boundaries between the human and supernatural worlds were removed, requiring that people take special measures to protect themselves against enchantments. The Beltane fire festival originated in a summer ritual in which cattle were herded between two huge bonfires to protect them from evil and disease. The word Beltane has been used in English since the 15th century, but the earliest known instance of the word in print—as well as the description of that summer ritual—appears in an Irish glossary commonly attributed to Cormac, a king and bishop who lived in the south of Ireland near the end of the first millennium.

A van conversion project that was supposed to take three days is now four months in and an eighth of the way done. Evan and Cormac dig into what actually happened and why an architect's brain might be the single biggest obstacle to finishing a personal fabrication project on time. They cover the scope creep hiding in "wouldn't you do it differently?", why one wrong cut forces every subsequent piece to compensate, and the design-build logic that makes real-time problem-solving both efficient and indefinitely slow.This episode is especially relevant for architects and designers who've ever started a hands-on project with a realistic-sounding timeline and found themselves months later still fitting cedar lining around corners that aren't quite 90 degrees, holding a saw, and refusing to call it good enough.-----Thank you for listening to Archispeak.

Let's look at May Day and Beltane traditions across Britain and Ireland, from ancient fires to seasonal folk customs.

Today FM's Listener of the Month celebrates the brilliant people who tune in every day. Each month, we shine a spotlight on one standout listener from our community, whether they have shared a great story, made us laugh, or simply been a loyal supporter. It is our way of saying thanks for listening. April's Listener of the Month is Cormac Melia from Laois, who joined Ian to Kickstart the Nation. He spoke about his recent role as head coach of Gallen United AFC and the fantastic work the club is doing within the local community. Hear more from Cormac by hitting play now.

Cormac spent last week driving from Detroit to Baltimore for a punch review, then north to a factory two hours outside Toronto to inspect replacement vestibule glass — only to reject it for the second time because the print scale was still wrong. Along the way, he squeezed in an unplanned tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Darwin Martin House in Buffalo, ended up teaching the docents, and toured AGNORA's glass factory, where he found something almost no other manufacturer will attempt: a fully miterless, corner-glazed insulated glazing unit. He also saw a project where a developer printed the image of a demolished historic building onto the glass facade of its replacement. Evan and Cormac dig into what "punch ready" is supposed to mean, whether we can still build at the level of FLW's Prairie homes, and what it costs (in time, travel, and patience) to hold a project to the standard it was designed to. This episode is especially relevant for project architects and CA practitioners who know the exhaustion of traveling to a site review only to walk away with another rejection, and who still find genuine awe in what the industry is technically capable of building, even when the job itself won't let you use it.

This week on the total replay! Dave opens the Monday replay talking about bringing his daughters into Manhattan for a museum day, taking them to the Met, walking through the city, and feeling grateful to be sober enough to do it. He also talks about how exhausting it is carrying recording gear back and forth to the city every week.   He plays a voicemail from a listener who mixed kratom with alcohol after losing weight and wound up diving through a window, running through a retirement community covered in blood, and waking up in the hospital. Dave reads an email from another listener who got sober after prison, reunited with his son, and says Dopey helped him along the way.   The replay itself is an early Dopey episode with Dave and Chris talking in the old apartment setup. They joke about expired cereal, cigarettes in the room, Disney World feeling like rehab, and old-school research chemicals. Dave tells a long Katz's story about upsetting customers, finding a lump in his neck, and then freaking out after hearing a woman at a meeting say her cancer started the same way.   The episode also includes an email from a guy deep into dissociatives and psychedelic research chemicals, plus more classic early Dopey energy between Dave and Chris. At the end, Dave reflects on how raw and alive the old episodes felt, and points out that this was also an early appearance of the kind of material that would later become part of Cormac's role in the Dopey world.

Five years into one project. Ten into another. Three principals retired before the second one wrapped. Evan and Cormac dig into what long-duration architecture projects reveal about career identity, why the profession has always romanticized the architect who works until death, and what retirement actually looks like when architecture is all you've ever done. They also get into the slow erosion of architectural vocabulary, why Cormac put a massive "WHY" at the center of his studio board, and the design decisions that unravel when nobody stops to ask the most basic question.This episode is especially relevant for mid-career and senior architects who are quietly wondering where the work fits in the rest of their life — and for educators and mentors in the profession who want to give students the reasoning skills, not just the technical ones.

Episode Overview In the third instalment of our series on famine and revolution, we pull away the veil of headline numbers to investigate the visceral, human reality of the Great Hunger in Ireland. This is an exploration of a land filling with desperation, where the brutal biological mechanics of what happens when the human body begins to consume itself take centre stage. We examine the fate of a terrified people, facing ruin triggered by a disease that wreaked havoc on already weak economies. From the folklore of the Fear Gorta to the harrowing clinical reports of the era, this episode explores how a society is transformed when it is blindsided by biological disaster and administrative indifference. Key Topics Covered: The Information Vacuum: Comparing our modern “Ocean of Information” to the terrifying silence of the 1840s, where the sickly sweet smell of rot was a mystery without an immediate answer. The Folklore of Famine: Why stories like Hansel and Gretel and the Navajo Dine Bahane carry the genetic memory of starvation, and the specific Irish harbinger of death: the Fear Gorta. The Structural Cage: A deep dive into the Rundale system and Gavelkind inheritance. We look at why the West was trapped in a cycle of subdivision while Ulster was shielded by the “Linen Shield” and Tenant Right. The Biology of Starvation: Using modern metabolic science and contemporary medical records to explain the “Blue Nose,” the “Sunken Orbit,” and the terrifying reality of Autophagy—the body cannibalising its own architecture. The Refeeding Trap: The physiological reason why a crust of bread could become a death sentence for a heart shrunken by atrophy. Conspicuous Consumption: The stark contrast between the “Workhouse Swineries” and the elite social calendar, including the dinner menus of the Cork Harbour Regatta. The Gregory Clause: How a single piece of legislation—the Quarter-Acre Clause—was used to engineer the clearances and force the starving into homelessness.

In this episode, we dive into the ripples of spacetime with a special focus on gravitational waves. Cole and Cormac are joined by a new host, Sanika, who introduces her research in gravitational wave astrophysics and sets the stage for the discussion. Together, they explore the role of neutron star and black hole mergers in producing gravitational waves, how we detect them, and what they reveal about some of the most extreme events in the universe. The conversation highlights major achievements from detectors like LIGO and Virgo, from the first historic detection to the growing catalog of binary mergers. Looking ahead, they discuss the exciting future of the field, including next-generation observatories and space-based missions like LISA. By the end, you'll be tuned into the gravitational vibes shaping modern astrophysics.

Ten years into a $600M research laboratory project, Cormac reflects on what it actually means to see a complex build through to the end — the COVID-era redesign, the permit battles across three code cycles, and the people who've been on site since day one. He and Evan unpack the case for continuity: why the architects who know every decision that was ever made are essentially irreplaceable, and why the grinding sameness of long construction administration is also the kind of rare, compacted education that most architects never get in an entire career.This episode is especially relevant for project architects and CA teams who've ever wondered whether staying on a long, demanding project is actually worth it — and for anyone who's adopted someone else's mid-stream project and immediately felt the weight of not knowing why.-----Thank you for listening to Archispeak.

In this episode of TECHtonic, Thomas Lah sits down with Cormac Whelan, CEO of Nitro Software, to unpack what it really takes to compete, and win, when you're up against industry heavy weights. As AI reshapes the software landscape, Cormac shares how smaller, more agile companies are using it as a force multiplier, enabling lean teams to innovate faster, deliver smarter products, and “punch above their weight.” But technology alone isn't the advantage.The real differentiator? Customer intimacy and value realization.Cormac dives into how Nitro leverages deep customer insights to uncover massive efficiency gains, like reducing document redaction from hours to seconds, and turning those insights into scalable, AI-powered solutions. The conversation explores why traditional software models are breaking down, how pricing is shifting toward outcomes, and why proving value is now the ultimate competitive edge.You'll also hear:Why incumbents still hold power, and where they're vulnerableHow AI is changing product development, pricing, and go-to-market strategiesThe growing importance of trust, security, and transparencyWhy the future belongs to companies that deliver outcomes, not just softwareIf you're navigating today's rapidly evolving tech landscape, this episode offers a clear message: the winners won't be the biggest—they'll be the most agile, customer-focused, and value-driven.

Cormac spent twelve hours trying to send one email. Evan has seventeen apps open at all times. This week they trace the architecture of modern distraction — from "you're on mute" killing the flow of real-time thinking, to AI making it easier to do more of the wrong things faster, to the structural reason architects keep saying yes when they should say no. The profession runs on availability, responsiveness, and service, and those instincts are now at war with the deep, focused work that good architecture actually requires. This episode is especially relevant for architects who recognize the gap between how busy they feel and how much actual work they can point to at the end of the day — and who are starting to wonder whether the answer is less technology, better boundaries, or just learning to say no.-----Have a question for the hosts?

It is our second-to-last episode covering House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J. Maas, and things are officially popping off! Melissa and Ellie are breaking down the absolute chaos of chapters 64 through 70. We are diving deep into Baxian's massive reveal as Danika's secret mate, Tharion making the wildest choice to enslave himself to the Viper Queen (and then immediately asking for PTO), and Ruhn and Cormac bonding over their terrible fathers. Plus, we discuss why Ruhn needs to focus on the heist at hand instead of planning to overthrow the Autumn King—one coup at a time, sir! We also get sidetracked by a very real, very traumatizing story about Melissa getting pinched by a stranger at Target for St. Patrick's Day.

In this episode, as we (at the time of recording) approach Astronomy's (JWST) awards season, Cormac and Cole shed some light on just how ideas become astronomical datasets. Our two putative principal investigators discuss why grad students should consider applying for telescope time, the main components and categories of proposals, and how successful proposals are finally selected and scheduled. We conclude with our most memorable moments from our own efforts to get time on facilities like JWST, Roman and Gemini. SPHEREx Data Tools: https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/spherex/

As Valentine's Day approaches in the Muggle world, romance is also a focus in this area of Half-Blood Prince. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they watch Harry watch Draco, watch Hermione regret her revenge against Ron, and watch Snape learn that Harry is suddenly good at Potions.  New Throwback Content: This Saturday, February 14 at 11am ET, MuggleCast will stream the Chamber of Secrets PC Game LIVE on our Twitch! It will later be available on our YouTube channel. A listener recently reviewed us being “as cozy as a warm blanket on a cold day.” We're very touched! If you feel similarly, be sure to tell us by leaving a review. Chapter by Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 15: The Unbreakable Vow The MC Pensive segment takes us back to an episode we recorded seven years ago. Hermione decides to take Cormac McLaggen to Slughorn's Christmas Party, just as Ron feared she would. Is this revenge satisfying for the readers? Do we feel bad when it doesn't work out for Hermione? Should love potions be taken more seriously than they are, by everyone? Harry is (rightly) worried. Eric asks, how does Cormac not know how to show someone a good time? Harry says that he kinda always thought Filch and Madame Prince were a thing. The hosts pick apart that offhand comment... ...and then we speculate. COULD that be a thing? Filch and Madame Prince? What do they have in common? How does Mrs. Norris feel? Is Snape's attempt to detect Draco's lying ethical? We know there's more in it at stake for him. Should Draco have been suspicious that Snape was working for Dumbledore, based on Snape's emphasis on the importance of DADA for Crabbe and Goyle? What If?: Harry overheard that Draco's mission was to kill Dumbledore? What if it was said aloud? What would Harry do? Odds and Ends include the Number 12 (our favorite), and vampires. Our MVP segment asks who is the best character to take to Slughorn's Christmas party? Our Lynx Line topic this week for Slug Club patrons: Who should Snape and Trelawney have invited as their dates to Slughorn's party? And, what would their pick-up lines have been?

LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis Week on Dopey Tuesday! Dave opens with a raw, heartfelt intro reflecting on grief after Linda's dad Tony's recent passing — how it hits the whole family in unpredictable ways, amps up his worry, and pushes him to double down on recovery (morning meditation, Step 12 with his sponsor, and gratitude work). He shares a beautiful listener email from Kyle, a former heroin/crack/meth addict who found spiritual connection through a wild shroom + heroin beach trip, years of struggle, and a sober Grateful Dead moment listening to “Broke Down Palace” by the river — reminding Dave of his own Mountainside harmonies with Chris and Linda. Dave calls it “perfect” and emotional, awarding Kyle socks and relating deeply to the “hippie dippy” universal energy. He then dives into Spotify/Patreon comments on last week's Ray Brown episode, plus the ongoing Zoe voicemail drama (some love her chaos, most roast her, Dave teases playing both voicemails next week). The episode wraps with a fun, chaotic clip of Dave, Cormac, and Selby (Asmatic Selby) bantering about early mornings, recovery day counts (Selby at 73 days!), Selby's winter break dad fails (Santa screw-ups), and a plug for the full Patreon Reddit roundup.
