07/06/2026 - The Art of the Mutual Avoidance

<p>The social anxiety is high, the historical accuracy is low, and the random beefs are at an all-time peak in this week’s episode.</p><p>First, Russ kicks things off by breaking down his ultimate playbook for avoiding human interaction only to share a harrowing tale of mutual avoidance. When someone else actively dodges Russ while Russ is already actively dodging <em>them</em>, it’s not just efficient...it’s downright rude. Where is the etiquette?</p><p>Next, the guys dive deep into the wild world of state mottos. From &quot;Virginia is for Lovers&quot; to the downright bizarre, Russ and Brent try to piece together the historical origins of these slogans (with almost zero actual research, naturally).</p><p>Finally, Brent decides it’s time to burn a bridge no one saw coming. For reasons only known to him, Brent opens up a one-sided, highly specific feud with Nurse Practitioners. If you work in advanced practice nursing, you might want to cover your ears.</p>
