The episode begins with a chaotic, rapid-fire discussion on current events, conspiracy theories, and pop culture, blending humor, absurdity, and deep frustration over political affairs. The hosts open with an explosive claim that the federal government is experiencing a private takeover under the guise of reform, referencing missing CDC datasets and security concerns with high-ranking officials using Gmail.
The conversation pivots into political absurdities, touching on right-wing rhetoric and congressional moments, including a rant on trans rights and Republican politicians' hypocrisy. They mock a certain congresswoman for her performative outrage while criticizing the collective ugliness of some far-right figures. The discussion naturally evolves into admiration for Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who they argue should be president despite the societal barriers preventing a Black woman from holding the office.
The episode takes a detour into pop culture, touching on the Grammys, Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter, and the state of music today. They make an unexpected but passionate argument about the phenomenon of “hot dicks on ugly faces,” an epidemic they claim is taking over dating apps. This leads to reflections on their own perceived attractiveness, aging, and the existential crisis of being labeled a "daddy" by younger men.
They also dive into their personal experiences, discussing their trip to Mexico, the joy of embracing one's desires without guilt, and the realization that Columbus, Ohio, isn't much different from Kentucky or other smaller towns. They reflect on how people irrationally judge other places while defending their own.
Later in the episode, they discuss the surreal and pervasive nature of pharmaceutical advertisements, reminiscing about their childhood obsession with trans fats and the moment of victory when they were officially banned. They also introduce the concept of The Hill, a metaphor for a higher state of consciousness that allows for telepathic communication, particularly with animals. One of the hosts recounts an eerie moment when their dog seemingly responded to unspoken thoughts, reinforcing their belief in an untapped human ability.
As the episode nears its end, they discuss eye exams, the stress of negotiating for a new car, and the importance of controlling the few things within one’s power. The conversation, like the rest of the episode, swings wildly between humor, personal anecdotes, conspiracy theories, and existential musings.
Ultimately, the episode encapsulates the signature blend of Not Well—a mix of gay comedy, sharp political critique, deep internet dives, and unfiltered chaos, all while maintaining an undercurrent of existential dread and dark humor.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
