In SOTW 1.0, the gang was young, dumb, and invincible ... or so they thought. Fast-forward to their 40s, and their bodies are staging a full-scale rebellion. Jay has a Frankenstein knee, Meredith’s running shoes are mostly decorative, and Ty faints at the sight of his own hemoglobin. This week, they talk about what “self-care” looks like when your warranty’s expired—and the fine art of selective neglect.

This week, Geoff Gerling returns to help Ty and Jay tackle everyone’s favorite “sexy” political scandal: gerrymandering.

Soundtrack of the Week

Trump promised tariffs would make America strong. He didn’t just tinker with trade—he brought a sledgehammer to a scalpel’s job. Ten federal judges have already declared the biggest tariffs unlawful, and now the Supreme Court gets to decide whether to call it policy or vandalism. After months of whiplash—on again, off again—the pain is finally trickling down, landing squarely on families already gasping for air. This week, the gang talks about how tariffs are less an economic strategy and more a slow-motion robbery, and whether breaking the camel’s back is a bug…or a feature....
