We hear a harrowing restaurant story involving someone who's for sure related to Hitler, after which we turn our attention to the issue of "consensual non-monogamy," discussing whether it is truly possible for married couples to adopt the lifestyle without jealousy and competitiveness (we disagree somewhat about this — guess which one of us is more cynical?).

We begin this episode of DXP by freaking out about how young we apparently still look (who knew?).

We discuss method acting and the cast of HBO's Succession, and then reflect on the film Old Henry, asking ourselves whether anyone is worth rooting for if we knew everything about them. Biebers involve movie twists and supermarket checkout lanes.

Show notes

We take a departure in this episode from politics, current events, and the futile nature of existence and tackle some "get to know you" questions about our dreams and goals, our first jobs, our desert-island films, our best vacations, and what kind of harrowing claustrophobic situation we could endure. Biebers involve cheese and lazy web developers.
