Episode 581 - 3 Weeks Later

December 14, 2025·1 hr 33 min·9 clips

Zach lived an entire life as an Asian fisherman during a mushroom trip, ending with a peaceful death on a boat.

Eric Filipe and Zach Snacks open by explaining the three-week absence: a visit to a friend in recovery, a Thanksgiving scheduling conflict, and a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game Eric attended with his brother Gabe. Eric paid $177 for his own ticket when Gabe presented it less as a gift and more as a fait accompli. The Bucs lost to the Saints in a close game, but Eric enjoyed the atmosphere, the cheerleaders, and the in-stadium entertainment. He drank three Tallboys and played Metroid Prime on his Nintendo Switch during the drive down. The Thanksgiving trip to Washington D.C. involved cold weather Eric was unprepared for, and a trip to an indoor skating rink where both he and Gabe fell on roller skates while Gabe's kids skated confidently around them. Eric helped Gabe's stepdaughter Adila, who remembered him from a previous visit, while the younger daughter Gabby warmed up to him over the course of the day. At an indoor play structure Eric climbed cargo netting behind children and came off the slide dizzy and out of breath. Gabe's large new wall-mounted TV sparked Eric's plans to buy a big-screen TV from Costco and reorganize his home entertainment setup. The hosts discuss a package delivery mix-up where Eric's 4K monitor was delivered to a neighbor who returned it, then compare notes on a friend's more dramatic story of expensive comics going to an unresponsive neighbor requiring police. Zach watched Bluey for the first time while babysitting and found it surprisingly emotionally sophisticated, including an episode dealing with infertility. Eric and Zach discuss No Nut November, with Eric reporting he successfully completed it and found December 1st anticlimactic. The conversation includes a sketch idea Zach was writing that he realized mid-draft was too similar to a Community bit. Throughout, the hosts joke freely about bodily functions, sibling dynamics, and domestic life. The episode has no fixed structure, drifting naturally between topics as the hosts reconnect. Listeners who enjoy unscripted, conversational comedy between longtime friends will find it representative of the show's style.

As heard by us

A messy catch-up turns into fast, rude, very human duo banter.

Eric Filipe and Zach Snacks come back after about three weeks away, and the opening stretch leans right into that absence: missed days, Thanksgiving, and a visit to see a friend in healing all get rolled together into one loose catch-up. The fun is in the friction.
