What happened in this episode?

Comedian Steph Tolev joins Tom Segura for a wide-ranging, largely comic conversation that leans on the show’s recurring format of reacting to internet clips. Early on, Tolev talks about her competitive streak, her gym habits, and engagement to her fiancé, while both discuss appearance, cosmetic procedures and casting experiences in advertising and film.

Segura plays several short viral videos and uses them as prompts for jokes and commentary, including a clip of a man shouting abuse while a disabled passenger disembarks public transport, an “elevator fart” prank, and prank-style flirting videos. A longer segment centres on a social-media “not guilty” promo video featuring a lawyer and client; Segura and Tolev characterise it as a marketing tactic and suggest the lawyer appears to coach the client on what to say.

The episode also touches on social platforms and graphic content. Segura says friends frequently send him violent footage on Instagram and questions why such material remains available while other content is moderated. In a separate public-safety anecdote, Segura recounts taking helicopter lessons and later meeting a former instructor who said he stopped flying after too many deaths among peers.

The closing minutes return to clips and banter, including Tolev’s stated dislike of pranks and Segura’s attempt to tee up more crash footage, which she refuses ahead of flying.

Podcast highlights lawyer’s social clip where client is told to always deny charges

at 14:27 · Attributed speaker claim

She goes, "What's She starts to go before before. She's like, "Heads up. It's no. You're always going to say no. We know you did it, but it's always a no."

Segura plays and describes a social-media video in which a lawyer films a client celebrating a “not guilty” verdict after an arrest for what the client describes as “attempted interference with the custody of a minor or incompetent person”. The hosts interpret the video as an example of attorneys marketing via short-form clips and suggest the lawyer appears to coach the client on how to answer questions on camera.

Tom Segura says a helicopter instructor quit flying after repeated fatal crashes

at 25:34 · Attributed speaker claim

He goes, "Oh, I stopped flying." And I go, "This is an instructor." And I go, "What do you mean you stop flying?" He goes, "I don't fly anymore." And I go, "Why?" He goes, you know, I have like my circle of friends from that world and I just had so many conversations of like, you know, so and so, yeah, they died. You know, so and so he died and she died and he's like, it just became too many.

Tom Segura says he previously took helicopter lessons in Los Angeles and later bumped into a former instructor from the same school who told him he had stopped flying. Segura recounts the instructor saying the decision was driven by repeated deaths among people in his aviation circle, which Segura says made him reconsider returning to training.
