Three Word Story

Ever had a medical professional completely shatter your self-image? James kicks off this episode by sharing his "double kill" of health revelations when what should have been routine appointments became existential crises. His dentist casually informed him he needs "a whole new mouth" to the tune of 57,000 dirhams, while a podiatrist declared he's been walking incorrectly his entire life and should simply "stop running." As James laments, he was happily "on the way to being a toothless, freaking, spazzy, walking human being" before these professionals ruined his blissful ignorance.
The signature improvisation begins when Dylan selects an Icelandic volcano as the location where the world's strongest people originate – those mighty strongmen competitors "forged by the volcano" who "breathe different air." His location yields the words "provider," "curveballs," and "righteously," which he transforms into a story about Gregory, the cosmic middle manager responsible for throwing life's curveballs at humans. James finds himself cast as a job applicant interviewing to replace Gregory, facing increasingly absurd scenarios from adoption interviews with inappropriate ringtones to wrongly delivered funeral cakes at children's birthday parties.
James counters with a selection from the remote Inuit territories of northern Canada, celebrating these people who have survived in extreme conditions for 5,000 years as truly the world's strongest. His words – "crafts," "progresses," and "inflation" – become a tale of Dylan visiting the eccentric Mr. Phyllis's craft shop to create homemade gifts when inflation has made regular presents unaffordable. Through origami caskets and Play-Doh wedding gifts, their stories intertwine with callbacks and running jokes that showcase their natural chemistry and quick wit.
