Hamish and Andy return with another episode packed with listener interactions, format pitches, and absurd updates on their upcoming live game show and bee empire. The hosts discuss a listener whose baby hasn't pooped in five weeks due to absorbing 100 percent of her superior breast milk, which leads into a pitch meeting for their upcoming live game show, The Price is Correct, featuring The Tip-In Point. They debate whether adults can claim free restaurant meals by exploiting a height limit originally intended for children, and introduce a new social norm about declaring passenger presence when taking calls on speakerphone. Finally, they reveal more bizarre prize bundles for their upcoming show, including a clay target shooting robot and the cheapest available flights for two to New York City.

  • High altitude bee hives are supposedly being developed to produce an ultra-strong power honey energy gel. 4:00
