Segment Rundown
New intro (recorded for the OG release)

• OG show setup: The hosts introduce the 2022 episode. It's from before Dan got Dansby, during the week they dog-sat Tyrone, a friend's dog, and Andrea had her yoga pants accident.

Dan describes using a pee pouch in his car on the drive to Gainesville and decides your car counts as your house. Also covered: crouching behind an open car door, a…
