A turtle with a lot of history, JustJim and Maven join us, and Tim has career alternatives for Keron Barley

·1 hr 40 min·5 clips

A 193-year-old tortoise named Jonathan shared an island with Napoleon Bonaparte.

The episode opens with Timmy Boy and Jolynn Carpenter bantering in German, acknowledging listeners from Hessen, Germany, particularly U.S. military personnel. They transition into a discussion about thanking service workers, leading to a story about a friend's brother-in-law who can accurately detect what drugs someone is using from a distance, which Tim finds fascinating. The hosts then share a news item about Jonathan, a 193-year-old tortoise living on St. Helena island, who was alive during Napoleon Bonaparte's exile there. Tim plays the Smoking Gun's Time Waster game live, matching mugshots to crimes, and scores poorly, adding comedic relief. The conversation turns political with a debate on Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student protester facing deportation for vandalism and intimidating Jewish students; Tim argues he should be deported as a guest in the country. Guests Just Jim and Maven join, with Maven discussing her podcast schedule and comedians like Nikki Glaser. The hosts critique Elon Musk's financial losses with SpaceX and Tesla, labeling him a grifter. Later, they introduce a humorous concept for a 'Heavy Petting Park,' a adult-themed petting zoo, involving listener Keron Barley in the discussion. The episode mixes comedy, current events, and audience interaction, maintaining a casual, conversational tone throughout.
