Sep 15, 2026 · 1h 4m

Summary

Hosts discuss back-to-school nostalgia before reviewing several Reddit stories. They debate a parent who woke their son for a non-existent school day, a man who conditioned his daughter's college funding on her major, and a stepmother who refused to lower her children's school tier to match her husband's. The episode concludes with a discussion on whether giving twins equal back-to-school budgets is fair, considering the "pink tax" and differing clothing needs.
