This week on The Eight Podcast, Javi and Fossie recap a wild weekend that includes a secret 21st birthday party that felt straight out of GTA, a wedding in Oakley that left Javi stuck in canyon traffic with a low gas tank and flashing oil light, and an awkward white-guy bathroom encounter that leads to racial stereotyping gone wrong.

They break down Shane Gillis’ controversial ESPYs roast and talk about the CEO who got caught with his side piece at a Coldplay concert. Plus, a fun dive into the top 10 countries with the best work-life balance (spoiler: America ain’t even close) and TikTok ad conspiracy theories. Tap in and laugh with us — or at us.

In this episode, Foss starts things off with a blown tire on the way to the studio, and somehow the chaos continues. The boys dive into the weirdness of working on the 4th of July while overseas support teams took the day off, reflect on family fireworks traditions, and talk about the dangers of celebrating in the wrong neighborhood. They react to the news of the final Fast & Furious film bringing back Paul Walker (CGI edition), and Scarlett Johansson officially becoming the highest-grossing actor ever.

Then things get wild with Joey Chestnut’s absurd eating records (RIP 12 pounds of asparagus), a Utah Domino’s explosion that looked like a Michael Bay movie, and Rush Hour getting a Gen Z warning. But the mood turns heavy as they break down the heartbreaking Texas summer camp floods that left dozens dead—including heroic stories that deserve to be remembered. They end on updates about the Idaho killer and what’s next in the case.
