After the absence of The Bachelorette last week, TSM’s Rachel Page joins us to touch on the departure of Chad, our growing disdain for Jordan Rodgers, and our concerns about the livelihood of the show in a post-Chad world. We also discuss Will’s mistake of getting a manicure/pedicure during the final round of The US Open, and take listener questions ranging from our first AIM screen names to who we’d rather have sex with – Ryan Reynolds or Zac Efron.
Enjoy.

Wait wait wait. $25-$40 for a wedding gift?! My mother told me to write a $100 check to my cousin last week. Fuck.
for a semi-close friend, yeah

Same here. I thought it was standard for $100-$150 depending on how close you are and to at least cover the cost of the meal.
A good rule of thumb for pedicures for guys – once a season, especially before summer if you’re going to wear flip flops.
If you are going to a public driving range that has no course attached, then basketball shorts are fine. If it’s a halfway decent course with a practice range then you need to have the appropriate attire. That’s what i’ve always gone with.
Staycation is a Karbach beer, Dave.
There’s really no way of knowing whether that’s true or not, but I still picked up a sixer from HEB last night.
All my life is a classic.
Potential rule changes for soccer to make it exciting and fun to watch: 1) adding a shot clock, 2) if you fall to the ground and writhe in pain, you must be injured. Therefore you have to sit out for 10 minutes. This will stop some of the flopping/acting 3) shoot outs in all games that end in a tie. The fact that you can watch a game for 90 minutes that ends in a tie and be okay with it is mind bottling. 4) halftime shows and cheerleaders, because America
Usually not one to do this but I cringe every time I see it. It’s “mind-boggling”. As in it boggles your mind. Not bottling. That’s just silly.
