Episode Details

We have better TVs than ever before — but are we actually getting the picture quality we're paying for?

In Part 2 with Christian and Jesse Moreno, the guys debate whether expensive TVs are even worth buying in the streaming era, paying extra for higher-resolution content, physical media vs. streaming, and something we've almost completely accepted without thinking about it: we don't really own our movies or music anymore.

Then the conversation goes completely off the rails 😂 — from old-school parking lot speaker scams to a guy allegedly pretending to be a professional football player online, celebrity scams, people losing huge amounts of money, age-gap relationships and the double standards between men and women when somebody gets played.
