Joey Tribbiani is Not a Role Model, Birthdays and Perfect Dates

It’s John’s birthday! Actually it’s his birth-month as the never-ending birthday celebration continues. Mark reluctantly volunteers to be the sole audience member as John does an impromptu performance of “Defying Gravity” from Wicked. Plus, John tells Mark about the perfect date that he had on Valentine’s Day, planned by John himself of course. Trigger warning: this episode ends with some pretty lousy jokes and the boys doing their best Warren Zevon impression with a 4 second rendition of “Werewolves of London" and you are almost GUARANTEED to smile. That’s what it’s all about, right?

Health, Haircuts and That Time John Introduced the New York Knicks

John and Mark are fresh off their fine haircuts and John’s cut is girlfriend approved. John always says that he has Down syndrome but Down syndrome never holds him back, but in all transparency that’s not the only health related issue that John has dealt with. The boys talk about some recent healthcare professional visits that John has been dealing with including a visit to the eye doctor for a special contact lens for his Keratoconus, his pulmonologist for his sleep apnea and some yawning issues that almost ruined his first introduction of the New York Knicks in front of 20,000 strong at Madison Square Garden. If you want the whole story, you’ll have to listen! Jokes and good news? Always.
