The guys welcome comedian legend and actor John Mendoza to the Local Peasant in Woodland Hills! This episode starts with John's heroin days and never comes down from that rush. John tells wild stories of nearly getting shot at the comedy club, performing three dirty jokes for $50,000 on the "bitches' table," losing out on major sitcom roles, having contests to get high and go on stage, and so much more insanity.

Greg and Nick sit down at the home bar with music composer extraordinaire Tommy Coster, the genius behind the music of Eminem's smash hit "The Real Slim Shady." As you can imagine, this episode is really music-focused, so Nick finally gets to speak! They talk about Tommy's musical upbringing, as his father was Santana's right-hand-man/ co-writer and good friend of music legends like Prince and so many others. Also, classic cars, millennials' not caring about good quality music, and the story behind the making of The Marshall Mathers LP.
