The episode opens with Glenn and Pierre urging listeners to vote for Budpod in the Golden Lobe Awards' Listener's Lobe category. They joke about Phil Wang tunneling to the sun as part of a comedic mission. Guest Alex Kealy joins, and they discuss surviving the final week of the Edinburgh Fringe, comparing it to the prolonged ending of The Lord of the Rings. Alex describes his daily breakfast routine in detail, likening it to scenes from Dexter and noting his aversion to mixing foods. The conversation turns to cinema, with reviews of Alien: Romulus, where they critique its rehashing of classic scenes and mention a fan in a xenomorph suit at the Edinburgh premiere. They also analyze Longlegs, focusing on Nicholas Cage's character as a glam-rock demon and the film's cult horror elements. Listener correspondence includes a conspiracy theory about Disney renaming Frozen to avoid rumors of Walt Disney's cryogenically frozen head, and bizarre baby-themed merchandise like onesies with dark jokes. The hosts discuss mini conspiracy theories, such as moon landing aliens, and wrap up by promoting their fringe shows and Alex's YouTube special.
