## Resource

The social anxiety is high, the historical accuracy is low, and the random beefs are at an all-time peak in this week’s episode. First, Russ kicks things off by breaking down his ultimate playbook for avoiding human interaction only to share a harrowing tale of mutual avoidance. When someone else actively dodges Russ while Russ is already actively dodging them , it’s not just efficient...it’s downright rude. Where is the etiquette? Next, the guys dive deep into the wild world of state mottos. From "Virginia is for Lovers" to the downright bizarre, Russ and Brent try to piece together the historical origins of these slogans (with almost zero actual research, naturally). Finally, Brent decides it’s time to burn a bridge no one saw coming. For reasons only known to him, Brent opens up a one-sided, highly specific feud with Nurse Practitioners. If you work in advanced practice nursing, you might want to cover your ears.
