John tells us why he would be a terrible NASCAR driver and the boys argue over whether professional wrestlers are athletes or actors. Meanwhile, Jonnie has a run-in with the cops because he forgets his phone and tells the story of NBC’s diabolical plan to get people to buy color TVs in the 1950s.

Plus, a conversation about worry and the importance of attempting to affect the course of your thoughts.

Today’s episode is NOT sponsored by Voicemails: “It’s like a text message that gets completely ignored.”

ALSO... Jonnie got to hang out with comedy legend Yakov Smirnoff last weekend, and as promised, here’s a fun clip of Yakov on the Tonight Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lwJ23o5qNM
