Would people take tornadoes more seriously if they had names? Because “Tornado Brandon” sounds like a problem. In this episode, Josh kicks off tornado season exploring the weird world of extreme weather.

Josh confronts a harsh reality he’s never said out loud before: he might be going bald. Well, let’s call it thinning or maybe just a hairline restructuring. Josh explores the cruel trade-offs of life, South Korea’s wild idea to treat baldness as a national crisis and the surprising comeback of toupees.

Josh is also back with a follow up on the war in Iran. He says, if you’re going to chant “Death to America”, at least make it rhyme. He also breaks down the shocking headlines surrounding the new Supreme Leader and reminds Iranians who hate the U.S., that nobody demeans Americans better than Americans themselves.
