The Firecracker Incident & Other Crimes of Youth

Episode 8 kicks off with Michael officially announcing the arrival of his baby boy, lovingly nicknamed “Chief” because, of course, the Giddens cousins can’t resist a Halo reference. We learn what songs calm a newborn (spoiler: the slow Halo menu theme hits different) and which ones make him cry instantly.

From there, things spiral gloriously into memory lane: the infamous “after-vaped-bud road trip,” Thanksgiving’s legendary “Hi, I’m Michael” incident, and a deep dive into all the dumb, chaotic, very-college decisions that somehow didn’t kill either cousin.

The episode rounds out with football frustrations, NBA conspiracy lore, and a surprisingly thoughtful discussion about political division in America. Wrapped, of course, in the cousins’ signature blend of humor, honesty, and absolutely unnecessary side quests.
