Today we're joined by Stavros Halkias whose new movie "Let's Start A Cult" is out October 25th. We discuss the most groundbreaking topics from Greek stereotypes that are actually true for most people, Stavros' big sober year, and the politics of having a cold in the year 2024. Plus, we talk mancaves and wonder: would straight people rather build another room in their house instead of having a coversation? Many are saying yes!

| 0:54.6 | Okay. And my question is, what are the current ethics of being sick in public? Because I don't, it makes me feel crazy. No, you're a, you're like, what is the, what? Now, if you ever cold, you're a modern day leopard. If you have a cold, you're literally, like, in the movie Contagion. You're Gwyneth Paltrow dying on the, like in the middle of the street. And it's like, I just have a cold. You know why? Because I'm a woman about town and I do things. And when you do things, you get exposed to viruses. It doesn't mean you're going to kill everyone. No, of course. I don't know what to tell you, though. And then guess what? I've been on the other side of things. |

| 1:59.2 | always really healthy and I think we should keep doing it. |
| 2:02.0 | Well, it's the big question is, like, do you blame the individual or do you blame society? Well, and it's like, what are you supposed to do? Like, you're already in Chicago. What are you going to do? Right, leave. Then I get that the whole plane sick. What are you going to do? I'm doing that tomorrow. |
