Summary
We begin this episode with more tales of old age. We discuss the condition known as "languishing," according to which a person is not clinically depressed but still feels like shit anyway. We discuss what are the greatest sci-fi films of all time, and then weigh in on the issue of Taylor Swift's alleged political clout. Biebers involve tater tots and post-surgery discomfort.

| 0:02.8 | Hey, thank you. |
| 0:22.3 | You know, I'm stoked we actually get to record on your actual birthday. Yeah. This week when you said you want to record on Saturday, it was like, oh, cool, we'll get to record on your birthday. I had no idea that it was even my birthday when I said that. Really? I did.
