Aug 10, 2026 · 37m

Summary

Dan and Phil start the episode by debating the semantics of "moving a meeting forward" before diving into a chaotic discussion about the 2027 emoji leak, specifically mocking the new pickle and cracked face icons. They share personal anecdotes about Dan inserting Phil into memories he wasn't part of and their mutual codependency in social situations. The duo also reacts to a study on butterfly memory, discusses the potential "swingery" implications of installing a hot tub in their garden, and addresses listener topics ranging from barefoot airplane toilets to the universal hatred of printers.
