ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The crew reacts to Method Man hearing Wu-Tang Clan's one-copy album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin on Pablo Torre Finds Out. Ebro, Laura and Rosenberg discuss producer Cilvaringz, Martin Shkreli, the album's unusual release restrictions and the challenge of recapturing the magic of Wu-Tang's earliest records. The conversation eventually turns to aging, parenting and bathroom humor.
Things get personal when Rosenberg admits he doesn't specifically wash between his toes, setting off an extended debate about shower routines, cleanliness and cultural expectations. The discussion expands into laser hair removal, waxing and grooming standards before the Gurus receive a listener email criticizing the segment — and Rosenberg himself.
