  • Bonus: O'Brien Family Matters
    Feb 11 2026

    There was some 'working class nepotism' at play this week with Calvin's youngest brother Jesse on his work experience at GoLoud. The two brothers sat down for a bonus episode and Jesse quickly took control with zingers that had them researching the average speed of a pogo stick and wondering who'd be the best ghost.

    There were family secrets let loose, and outlandish views on rolls that even put Terence to shame.
