    Summary: Alex and Jake are all over the map in the best way. They talk winter adventures, snow headaches, and why Olivia Dean’s music has been on repeat lately. Things spiral (naturally) into Survivor chaos, a surprisingly electric karaoke night, and wildly optimistic fantasy hiking plans. From there, it’s ribeye cooking wins (and mistakes), comfort-TV love for Frasier and Scrubs, and a nostalgic nod to the 25th anniversary of Lord of the Rings. The episode wraps with movie-theater debates — best snacks, unspoken rules, and the art of sneaking food past the concession stand. Cozy, funny, and loosely structured in the way good hangouts are — this one feels like catching up with friends who can’t stay on one topic for more than five minutes (and wouldn’t want to).
