Cardi B promotes her new album by selling CDs on the subway while pregnant with Stefan Diggs' baby.

The episode opens with Ross Bolen and producer Cade Orris in the studio, accompanied by Ross's dogs. They immediately jump into discussing Cardi B's second album promotion, noting her pregnancy with NFL player Stefan Diggs and her marketing tactics like selling CDs on the subway. The hosts critique her lifestyle and the album name 'Am I the Drama?', while also touching on Diggs' reputation as a playboy. The conversation shifts to technology, focusing on Mark Zuckerberg's live demo of Meta AI glasses, which failed when WhatsApp calls wouldn't connect and AI cooking instructions malfunctioned, leading to audience laughter. Ross reads from an AV Club article detailing the glitches, and they discuss Meta's explanation of Wi-Fi bandwidth issues. Next, they talk about self-driving cars, specifically Waymo's prevalence in Austin and its difficulties in heavy traffic, sharing an anecdote about a Waymo car stuck at an intersection. The episode includes a sponsor segment for Shopify, promoting its e-commerce tools. Following this, Ross presents a 'Stuffed to Wikipedia when you're high' segment about baseball player Lynn Konecki, who was cut from the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1935, got drunk on a flight, harassed passengers, and died after being hit with a fire extinguisher during a hijacking attempt. The hosts note his death was referenced in an episode of Archer. They then briefly mention other baseball stories like Wade Boggs' beer-drinking record and Old Hoss Radburn, before discussing the origin of the high-five, invented by Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke in 1977 and independently by college basketball players in 1979. The episode ends with promotional messages for the podcast's Patreon and social media.
