Jake Shane welcomes back his close friend and fellow actor Owen Thiele to discuss their experiences filming the second season of the comedy series Adults in Toronto, enduring sub-zero temperatures, and writing jokes together. The conversation ranges from bizarre celebrity-adjacent anecdotes and failed romantic escapades to pop culture obsessions like Phoebe Bridgers and Zendaya, before diving into listener-submitted dilemmas about dating app fatigue and roommate friction.
