Martin and John-David discover one wild thing Si’s dad used to do that they would never try on their own wives. Also, Si somehow pulls off a big anniversary win with minimal effort and sparks a surprising debate over how baptisms should go down—face first or back?

Chapter 2: What do Uncle Si's anniversary plans involve?
Everywhere? I probably ought not tell all this.
My wife was a waitress at the Red Lobster. She made way more money than me working at the grocery store.
Next time Brittany's on, I'll let you ask her where her first job was. It's a good one. I don't want to spoil that one for her, but she did. So she grew up in a college town. So she was at like sports bars and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah, that's funny.
That's a good one, especially if you know her. It's in the news, and everybody's really upset about it. And I just, with me, I've had so many experiences
with waitresses okay and and like if if you know if she's a fantastic person good person out there and really works her tail off you know bringing me the food and everything i tip pretty good yeah yeah absolutely i get annoyed at tip on to go stuff like oh gosh like yeah but you know what i'm saying but like you order out i get that person's work in that window but like
Whenever the lockdown was happening and they brought it to your vehicle, absolutely. That was an extra step that was required of you if it, Lord forbid, it was raining or something. Or you bring it to my house, that's a different deal too. But if I physically have to get out, walk out there, grab a bag, and then turn around and leave, I'm like, I struggle with that one. It's a weird one.
I struggle with that.
Well, the reason I was saying about my story is that, okay, you know, I just got paid. I was making good money. So I just, you know, I don't remember what the meal was, but I just added $100 to it, and I said, you know, keep it. You know, this is for you. She busts down in tears.
Yeah.

Chapter 3: How does tipping culture vary in barbershops?
Johnny D got the internet, but I think it's just carbon dioxide gas. They just put some carbon in it. Carbon ain't carbon. It's just going to turn it black.
How do you get carbonated water? Carbon is very important. Hey, they can tell how old you are back millions of years ago by carbon dating.
Yeah, 360 million years ago.
Hey, I don't believe that bull. You have no idea what happened a billion years ago. Yeah.
They don't even know what happened 300 years ago. I like when they're like, oh, no, the weather was doing this 300 years ago. I was like, we didn't have a weatherman. No. We didn't have nothing. Hey, tell me why you do the carbonated water. I'm trying to find it right now. You just force pressurized carbon dioxide into still water. He was right. There you go. You shouldn't call it still water.
It's just water.
It's the only way it should be. Just water. Can I confirm something right here on the airwaves? Your son was wrong. I was wrong. Yeah.
Take that.
well that can't be good for you what putting putting carbon dioxide gas in the water dioxide i mean you wouldn't think so but like at the same time you exhale carbon dioxide right like so there it was yeah but just to get it out of your system yeah you don't want it in there ain't bad which is bad yeah Well, it's better than monoxide, but that stuff will kill you. It's a whole different deal.
