Episode 5.16 - 1973 through 77 Monte Carlo: This week, the crew raises a glass for Mother’s Day—an especially meaningful one for Greg, marking what would’ve been his mom’s 81st birthday and 10 years since her ride to the other side.

Of course, there’s also a dash of Andor Season 2 chatter, because... priorities. From heartfelt to nerd-fueled, it’s a ride worthy of a vintage Monte Carlo.
