Johnny Bananas is up to his old tricks (and we do mean OLD) on the Netflix *live* dating game, Pop the Balloon, where he may or may not have been accused of racism, but either way he was giving extreme creepy uncle cringe vibes. We follow-up on our discussion on the Gold & Greed documentary on the treasure hunt that cost some people their lives and caused many controversies over a decade. Sarah describes the Bad Influence docuseries about a group of child influencers, the parent who exploited them, and the ways it was similar to a cult. Plus, we hear about a man who got a lung infection from a disgusting daily habit, and we'll never get over it.
