This week on Away From Desk, we bring you an episode that begins with a simple question—“Who would you suck?”—and somehow spirals into Halloween cynicism, Nathan’s hot dog slander, lactose-based identity crises, and a philosophical pitch for an event called Falafel & Philosophy (which is exactly what it sounds like, unfortunately).

We also examine the smell of Halloween (objectively bad), adulting (also bad), Churchill Downs Thanksgiving (somehow fine?), thrift stores full of spiders, and whether AI is capable of emotional depth or just really good at faking vibes.

Plus: wedding cake as workplace currency, trunk-or-treat fatigue, a hot dog costume that changes lives, and a brief moment where we consider whether one of us might secretly be a robot. A very normal episode.

Welcome back to the desk‑escape party. In Episode 26 of Away From Desk, we tackle everything from DIY crystal weirdness and panic‑attack‑adjacent edible experiments, to elevator physics (yes, we went there), fast food verdicts, and a body‑appreciation segment that’s equal parts heart‑warming and hilariously awkward. Whether you’re still in your 9‑to‑5 or you’ve already bolted, join us for a no‑filter brew of travel tales (hello, New Orleans), fast‑food confessions (Whataburger got served), and big life updates (one of us tried to become a morning person… kinda). Grab your coffee, lean back, and let’s remember together: work isn’t the only thing life has to offer. Follow and subscribe for more stories from the other side of the desk.

This week on Away From Desk, we cover all the big topics: nasal trauma, car loans, and farts that changed lives.

Steve gets a camera shoved up his nose and somehow ends up inventing Shart Tank, our new entrepreneurial venture that definitely won’t make it on NBC. We also discuss why pigs might need lotion, why old people shouldn’t drive, and how to emotionally destroy a car salesman. Somewhere in there, we manage to talk about “body positivity” and mom bods, so yeah — we’re basically doing social work.

There’s woodworking, ghost stories, and a heartfelt tribute to the hot dog lady (she has boobs, apparently). This episode has everything except good decisions.

Ever wondered what happens when three sleep-deprived creatives, one dog, and zero ceiling tiles try to record a podcast? Welcome to Episode 24 of Away From Desk, the ongoing experiment in chaos disguised as a show.

This week, the crew talks everything from Batman’s allergies to CPAP machines that change lives, with detours through sourdough science, workout regrets, and the ethics of burping into a mic. Steve wrestles with being his “authentic self” versus the version that Instagram actually likes (spoiler: the latter gets more views), while the gang debates whether a sheep and a goat are the same animal and if “lazy Susan” is a slur.

It’s a philosophical episode in disguise—buried under fart jokes, existential dread, and some questionable health advice.

Grab your rotisserie chicken, adjust your lighting, and get cozy with your favorite desk-avoidant trio. This one’s messy, funny, and a little too real—just how we like it.

Is that shadow behind your webcam a demon or just bad lighting? Either way, we’re leaning into the spooky weirdness this week on Away From Desk. In Episode: Zombies Are Hot, Demons Are Real, your hosts stumble into debates about sexy zombies, demonic possession, trapped souls in picture frames, mystical sneeze‑exorcisms (“Did I sneeze out the demon??”), and whether ghosts are just “demons without ambition.”

We also peel back the curtains on the absurd (i.e. “sipping a beer, wrapping it in red paper so it looks like a sponsor,” “soundboards,” “wet t‑shirt contests,” and the curse of mis‑spelled dog bandanas”). Between laughs, we wander into deeper territory — holding onto anger, weird spiritual experiences, ghost beliefs, and the messy shape of identity on mic vs off mic.

In this episode: breast milk ice cream, sensory deprivation tanks, Steve's obsession with racing horse-girls , Adam's Mom's Afro-Unicorn floatie, and the scandalous art scene of the Kentucky State Fair. Also, we have a heart-to-heart with a version of ChatGPT who knows her worth.

They said not to do it, but we did it anyway. Outside podcast dropping now!!

We peel back the curtain on podcast delays, summer travels, and almost winning a local podcast award (shoutout to the Leo Weekly voters—maybe next year?). Also: a hot new restaurant idea involving drag geishas, Adam buys a Kosair Shriner hat off the streets, and a surprisingly serious chat about Mormon cults, ghosts, and the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

Poor Audio Quality, Smokin Stogies, Lawnmower Runnin. Grab some lemonade or apple cider and give it a listen.

Welcome to Episode 19, where we ask the real questions society's too afraid to face—like: “Who eats the bread, who makes the bread, and why is everyone so obsessed with crumbs?” And if that’s not enough existential dread, we take a detour to the now-infamous Poop Cruise, where luxury meets biohazard and your shower becomes a warm broth of communal urine. Bon voyage!

Also on today’s intellectual journey:

• A heated debate about who gets you higher—Willie Nelson or Snoop Dogg. (We’re awaiting peer-reviewed research.)

• Why white pants are a trap, especially when you gamble on a fart and lose.

• A surprisingly thorough discussion on perianal cysts, because clearly we’re your trusted source for medical horror.

• The Thong Chronicles, aka: “Can you wear sheer white and not end up with poop on it?” (Spoiler: No one wins.)

• Unsolicited cruise ship trivia, anime where horses come back as teen girls (don’t ask), and of course, our plan to rebrand dog peanut butter for allergic pet parents. Disruption, baby.

All that, plus a philosophical check-in: have you peaked yet? Because Steve did—about 20 minutes ago in a Taco Bell bathroom.

Episode 18 kicks off with Steve once again horny for Sabrina Carpenter—because God forbid this podcast ever be about anything else. Alison tolerates it with saint-like patience, Adam pretends he’s above it all, and somehow we end up in a TED Talk about feminism delivered between dick jokes.

We cover the important cultural questions: Is it still okay to listen to Michael Jackson? (No.) Did Will Smith accidentally make a fetish music video? (Yes.) Should open relationships come with a project manager? (Absolutely.) There’s also a shocking amount of time spent on Costco socks, electrocution survival stories, and which host would make the safest threesome partner.

Basically, it’s horny philosophy class meets half-finished improv bit. Listen if you want to feel smarter and dumber at the same time.

This week on Away From Desk, we answer the question no one asked but everyone should—how does one properly poop in the woods? Our hosts get dangerously practical, offering unsolicited tutorials on tree-squatting technique, cat hole etiquette, and the aerodynamic risks of porta-potty splashback. It’s part biology lesson, part stand-up routine, and 100% unhinged.

Also on deck: neighborhood beef over dog poop diplomacy, medieval cosplay dreams (one of us wants to be a wizard, one of us owns a cape, and one of us has clearly lost control), and a surprisingly heated debate about breastfeeding in public—featuring exactly the kind of take that makes us wonder why we gave Steve a microphone.

There’s talk of Renaissance fairs, parenting in bathrobes, accidental facials (still not that kind), and how not to use your kid’s hoodie. It’s chaos, it’s comedy, it’s maybe kind of informative? We’re not sure. But we laughed. A lot.
