But for episode five (and the 19th total), Kevin welcomes his delightful friend Gaby to the show, and the two spend a lot of time laughing at a joke that will never be told, knowing the fucking vibes, turning that shit off, making fun of incels, and taking a jaunty stroll through Gaby's marginally eclectic selection of music.

In the tangential nature of the program, the two talk about a lot more than the eclectic mix of tunes Renee has provided—including the stress of buying concert tickets, feeling seen and attacked by Lana Del Rey, the pure joy that is Lizzo, and that you never really stop being an emo kid.
