Carl and Riley open with a bit about prenups and re-nups, then split the episode between one genuinely hard story and one that is pure bar comedy.
Riley reads a post from a small-town bartender worried that a longtime regular with drinking and gambling problems said things at closing time that sounded like suicidal warning signs, and the two of them work through what a bartender can and cannot realistically do for someone in that spot.
Carl follows with a bartender whose Monday night party got hijacked by a guy who reacted to a Bad Bunny song by loading the jukebox with thirty sad cowboy songs over two hours, killing the vibe so thoroughly that the birthday regular closed out and left.
The jukebox conversation turns into a broader argument about whether app-based jukeboxes hand customers too much control, with detours through a fifteen-minute metal song at a Deadwood bar and the Buffalo Wild Wings kids who kept paying to play the same song.
