OLP 045: Two Episodes Sitting in a Hot Tub Five Feet Apart Because Lex Got Covid at a Fall Out Boy Concert
02/06/2023

(Allegedly. Jordan was also there and did not get Covid.)

We are not immune to the American need to have a pretty good time. Nor is Lex immune to Covid, as it happens. But that won't keep us down! 

This episode is a two-for-one: listen in as Lex and Jordan record their own respective episodes, and try to guess what the other person said. Did we get it right? How absolutely bonkers do our solo dopamine trampolines get when there's not a co-host to keep us in check? Only one way to find out.
