The mood:
Greg is “whiny and complainy,” to quote Jennifer, and likely on the doorstep of illness.

Jen is being a difficult shit to amuse herself and (hopefully) you

The intoxicants:
Jen: Fat Head Hop Juju

Greg: Dogfishhead Burton Baton and TheraFlu Nighttime*

*NOTE: It is likely advisable to NOT combine alcohol with night time cold medicine. However, the combination makes for an amusing, sluggish and slurry Greg with a considerably-less-than-strict brain-to-mouth filter. So have fun with that!

The Topics:
1. Why would a man stand in a bank line and request four-hundred one-dollar bills? Your guess is likely precisely as good as ours.

2. Greg’s latent racism, made manifest by the combination of intoxicants described above, which apparently spans all populations and denominations and has the bite of a toothless nursing home resident.

3. Jen’s sneeze. This is the first time the startler of humans and animals is captured on tape. This must have clipped the recorder’s capabilities and will surely cause you to jump. Ever see that Will Ferrell/Kristin Wiig bit on SNL? Yeah, that.

4. Liberated Syndication (LibSyn) and iTunes. On this date (February 12, 2015 to be precise) we released the very first D2D podcast (“A Brussels Sprout is a Cruel, Cruel, Mistress”) on these platforms. It marks D2D putting on big-kids pants, even though only like 5 people give a shit.

5. Cocktails, etc. On this date, Jen suggests a cocktail page…and here it is! (Actually, it’s back up there…just under my head.  See it?  Yes, there.)

6. Rejection fest. Fall and Winter of 2014 marked Greg’s foray into submitting essays to various blogs, sites, and publications…thus ushering in the late Winter (2015) series of rejection messages. Fun. (But hey, thank YOU for reading and listening.)

The Soundtrack:
At the beginning: “I can read your mind” by R.J. Heid
At the conclusion: “Make it rain” by Ed Sheeran

The final word:
We present to you, “Make it Rain.”
