Mike Hopes thinks up the worst pick up lines to use during this quarantine before interviewing comedian, musician Alex Park  a.k.a. Ex Philo. Alex discuses his time working for Roburrito, the local liquor store (Dan Aykroyd visiting) as well as his creative process when writing both music and jokes. The boys compete in a game of "What does your favorite liquor say about you?" according to Buzzfeed.com.  The show ends with Ex Philo's "Unpleasant Sensation" but not before advice from Skippy!
