Summary
After two weeks off, the guys are back and wasting no time catching up. Joe kicks things off with the full story of his daughter Stevie's arrival — three weeks early, 22 hours of labor, a surprise water break on Amanda's birthday, a tense moment with the anesthesiologist, and a NICU scare that had everyone holding their breath. It's raw, real, and hilarious in all the right places.
From there the conversation flows naturally into new dad life, paternity leave debates, car upgrades (Joe bought an Escalade and may or may not have already ordered a TRX), Maxx's ongoing long hair journey, a surprisingly deep dive into Pokémon card collecting and PSA grading conspiracy theories, home design rabbit holes, and whether Christian's 49-fixture lighting quote for his house extension is a cry for help.
The back half gets into Iran and the oil market, the stock market doing its thing, and Christian's new "Brick" device that's physically locking him out of Instagram — sparking a bigger conversation about screen time, AI acting as a yes-man, and whether we're all just doom scrolling our way through life. Oh, and Joe asks the group a deeply personal question about breast milk. Standard episode. Don't Be Sour is back.
