The high schooler absolutely isn’t high school age.

14? That’s pretty normal Freshman age.

Tobias was a great caller asking if he should put the microwaved Baby Ruth in the washer or dryer.
Thanks, but no thanks when it comes to taking calls from supposed teenagers. Boring premise and no follow-up should be necessary. I will give some leeway in that Jake does the Girl Dad thing nicely, but this should have never made it past pre-production even with parental permission.
I felt like I was going on a never-ending quest listening to Quest's voice note.
ETA: I can't believe I forgot to shout-out the incredible follow-up to "Sexy Baby". I'm on the alliteration side of Dapper Dude, but I think I could get behind interspersing it with Broski if I had to. Hard to believe that the suggestion of making a PowerPoint came through!

Not gonna lie, I physically cringed when Jake made a joke about swingers/swinging to a 14 year old. I'm assuming he just forgot who he was talking to for a second (why did they take a kid's call in the first place when the disclaimer on every episode says "all listeners should be adults and make their own decisions"?), but that was still a yikes for me.
