Summary

Mandal returns to the pod to discuss his master plan for dunking via leg lengthening surgery, why red velvet cake is the best cake, how he was a self-righteous goody-goody as a child, his love for donuts, Bryan Johnson’s sickly look despite biohacking, and much more. Mandal and Stav help callers including a guy who’s afraid his 15-year-old daughter will snitch on her friend for vaping at school, and a guy who’s wondering if he should ask whether his invitation got lost in the mail after not getting invited to his friend’s wedding.
