Live to 200… and Still Go to the Same Gym

Friday Night Termite Genocide

Episode 31 starts with Michael recounting a week-long homeowner nightmare after a massive swarm of insects invaded his house, leading him to believe his home might be infested with termites. What follows is a saga involving AI customer service, missing termite bonds, questionable pest control companies, and several days of stress-induced bug hunting. After surviving the termite apocalypse, the cousins wander into discussions about bird feeders, squirrel antics, garage-trapped robins, intelligent crows, Amish transportation, tire longevity, and whether modern roads should somehow be made from the same material as tires. The logic may be questionable, but the confidence is not. The second half of the episode turns into a deep dive on Amazon’s hit series The Boys, including production quality declines, streaming-era television economics, character arcs, season finales, comic book differences, and why so many modern shows struggle to stick the landing. Expect plenty of spoilers, passionate opinions, and more superhero analysis than anyone planned when the episode started.
