The meerkats are joined in this episode by the Florida man of the internet, Ben Brainard! Ben and Lukas were on the road doing shows all week before recording this episode, and Lukas smoked him in a music knowledge contest on the drive to NYC, jsyk. They discuss his childhood in Daytona Beach, his experience as the prankster of the army reserves, and Lukas and Gabby nearly join the army just for the massive amount of pockets you get on your uniform. They help a listener deal with vocalizing their feelings even if it's at the expense of some friendships. I'm getting emotional just typing this. You don't want to miss this one!
