The trio kicks things off with a heartfelt discussion on the passing of legendary actor Donald Sutherland, reflecting on his iconic roles and debating his place in the hierarchy of great actors. Bill adds a humorous twist by wondering what it was like to grow up as a Sutherland kid and see your dad's infamous scene in Animal House.

Her refusal to wear headphones or speak directly into the mic drives Doug up the wall, much to Bill's amusement. Doug is convinced that Bill set up this prank, but Bill insists it’s all genuine fun.

The conversation shifts to the dynamics of modern families where divorced couples remarry or find new partners and remain in each other's lives. Bill poses a thought-provoking question: what if your ex’s new partner asks you for advice on handling them? The responses are varied and intriguing, with Kevin offering a surprisingly insightful take.Bill shares a personal anecdote about his father still reminiscing about an ex-girlfriend who managed to sour a family trip to England, explaining the reasons behind it.

The episode continues with Bill's antics making Doug increasingly uncomfortable, culminating in a surprise appearance by Doug’s dad, David, an Elvis impersonator. Bill plays an Elvis tune, encouraging David to join in for an impromptu performance.

The discussion takes a sports turn as Bill highlights Olivier Rioux, a 7'9" basketball prodigy from Montreal set to play for Florida next season. Bill praises Olivier’s coordination and predicts a bright future for the young athlete.

David shares his experiences as a school bus driver, including the challenges of dealing with kids, like one incident involving a student jumping out of the back of the bus. The group discusses the difficulties of this time of year for bus drivers.

The episode wraps up with a debate on whether every car should be equipped with an interlock or breathalyzer following Justin Timberlake's DWI arrest, pondering if people truly know their limits with drinking. Special guest Greg Owens, headliner of the Comedy Caravan, joins in to share insights on the life of a comic on the road. Enjoy!
