Clay spikes a stranger's Coke with a coffee bean, claiming it changed his life.

Clay McMath opens with a humorous ad read for Bung Bung Coffee, telling a story about spiking a stranger's drink. He then transitions into personal updates, detailing back-to-back 'box shows' for a gay wedding, including a farm party and a Sydney Harbour boat party. Clay discusses travel with Virgin Airlines, comparing lounges in Adelaide and Sydney. The episode's core is movie reviews: first, 'Anyone But You', a rom-com set in Sydney where characters fake a relationship at a wedding. Clay critiques its unrealistic plot, lack of character development, and reliance on visual appeal, particularly Sydney Sweeney's appearance.

Throughout, Clay rants about cancel culture, modern rom-coms, and airport experiences. He ends with calls to support his tour and share the show.
