Clifton and Shay rip open their pandemic trauma with zero chill and a lot of side-eye. From Shay’s panic in lockdown New York and vaccine-for-a-paycheck dilemma to Clifton’s fantasy of getting laid off, surfing to Patagonia, and “thinning the herd” into a new Roaring ’20s, they talk fear, money, politics, Mexico trips, and bed-rotting the way they do everything: loud, filthy, and uncomfortably honest.
If you’ve ever wondered how we went from stimmy checks to $22 sandwiches and $9.79 McNuggets—and how a global crisis somehow led to San Diego sunsets and “stimmy shimmies” in the bedroom—this episode is your spicy, NSFW debrief on the pan(dem)ic.
Explicit language. Questionable opinions. Surprisingly real feelings.
