"Why Are Men?" It's the question Bill and Cisco find themselves asking, after viewing 2010's comedy about time travel and friendship, Hot Tub Time Machine, starring John Cusack, Craig Robinson, and Daily Show alum Rob Corddry. The guys talk male friendship, the 2024 election, toxic masculinity, the butterfly effect, and the difficulties of maintaining solid friendships, as one enters middle-age. Diversions include the manosphere, Cardinal Burke's dislike of girl altar servers, Matt Walsh's fear of platonic love, the new E-Man-gelization, Crispin Glover's rat poetry, that one time Bill saw Echo and the Bunnymen spin Pink Floyd 45s, and why Chevy Chase doesn't work much these days. Will they find the answer to their question? Will Hot Tub Time Machine provide clues? Will Cisco fulfill his quest to find a copy of the film on Blu Ray? Only time will tell.
