The episode begins with the hosts excitedly discussing their upcoming trip to Dewey Beach for Memorial Day weekend, highlighting the anticipated crowd and the unique energy of the event. They share personal plans, including attending a Mets game and the Starboard bar being packed with fans. The conversation then shifts to soda culture, with a focus on the rising trend of 'dirty sodas'—sodas with added creams, flavors, and unorthodox mix-ins like coconut or candy. The hosts express mixed feelings, with one passionately rejecting coconut-flavored sodas and another praising the nostalgic appeal of classic sodas like ginger ale and Diet Coke. They also discuss the shrinking portion sizes at fast food chains like Chipotle, with a humorous suggestion to simply ask for more food or even film staff to shame them. A bizarre but entertaining tangent follows about a Barstool contest where participants must touch a car to win $30,000, leading to a darkly comedic strategy involving intentionally soiling oneself to deter others. The segment ends with a nostalgic nod to past auto show coverage and a tease for the next segment on sports news.
