Summary

The guys discuss Justin’s recent appearance at Kevin Smith’s Smodcastle theater for a Tusk screening, and all the fun little gifts and letters he received from fans. Then they debate what the loser of their football season betting should have to do (unfortunately the ring of hair is out). Then we read a letter from an Ohio school teacher named Franny asking the guys if they’ve ever decided to pivot and how they got the courage to take that leap. Finally, a voicemail from a stoned listener named Casey offers up a barrage of quick fire WYRs, including whether they’d rather be bald on their head or bald on their face.
