Aaron Berg is off “committing crimes” (filming a cop show in Boston and Toronto), so East Side Dave takes on his midlife crisis head-on with Roy Harder and special guest Sean O’ Barry — and it spirals into one of the most unhinged episodes yet.
Dave’s got two pool rivalries running at the same time: the Karen who shut down his and his son’s 747-throw Major League Pool Ball record, and the beloved club that got bought out and now wants fifty bucks to swim. From there it’s a full round of “Bad Boy of Jobs” confessions — Dave’s legendary carrot-soup incident at the Malloy Room, Bobby’s walkie-talkie warfare, and a RadioShack buzzer rigged in a pool pump house. Plus Bobby’s terrifying driving, a 45-minute shower-bath-shower ritual, and the pot-store cashier who only has eyes for the producer.
