  • Eddie Pepitone revealed two weeks ago at a party that he had colon cancer and got rid of it.
  • Tim debates whether he should have mentioned Eddie's cancer, deciding it's fine because Eddie never said not to talk about it.
  • Tim explains why people don't stay grateful after brushes with death: the human condition makes you petty and small-minded because you can't think about big things all the time.
  • Discussion shifts to a Korean aircraft crash that went off the runway into a building—Jeju Air, not Korean Air.
  • Tim asks his co-host seriously if they knew anyone on the plane, suggesting the chances are high.
