About this episode

Justin and Christian discuss both what they did over the previous weekend, and the latest news about The Weeknd (he's now going by his real name, Abel Tesfaye). Then the guys read a letter from a listener named Jenn who raves about “Happy Campers,” they discuss the tragic passing of talented actor Brad Renfro and answer a very emotional Would You Rather question. Finally, we hear a sweet voicemail from Sam about his love of the Muppets, and he asks what the first movie the guys remember seeing in the theater.
