GCP: SNG - The Bobo Mermaid Guy, Drinking Chunks, and the Return of Sublime
Episode 388
Thursday, 2 April, 2026
In this episode of Saturday Night Grit, the boys dive into a chaotic mix of nostalgia and new-age tech. From debating the charitable legacy of Paul Newman and his "Newman’s Own" empire to Jeff’s mom’s hilarious confusion over Jason Momoa (aka "the bobo guy from the mermaid movies"), the conversation never stays in one place for long. Scott shares a cautionary tale about a mysterious 10% pulp drink from H-Mart, the group discusses the future of Meta and AR, and they wrap up by reacting to the first "new" Sublime track in 30 years—debating whether the vocals are the work of a talented son or a very convincing AI robot.
