285: The Weirdest Halftime Show Moments of All Time

In this episode of Funny Business, Mike recaps his wedding weekend—from ice cream scoops instead of cake to Matt’s best man speech and (accidentally?) calling guests “sons of b****es.” The guys also dive into the story of an ex-Mormon making $20K a month on OnlyFans just from voice notes, sparking ideas for their own audio side hustle. They debate the worst possible celebrity guests, defend petty “crimes” like jaywalking and rolling stops, unpack iOS 26, and ask the real question: did the rapture happen, or is it just allergy season?
