Debut Buddies

Two men, and a bottle of Laphroaig, enter. Two men, and less than half that bottle, leave. With Shannon and John away, Nate welcomes guest Seth Harris (actor, luminary) to discuss topics from London and France including Jack the Ripper, Gertrude Ederle, the Eiffel Tower, 221B Baker Street, and more. As the bottle of Laphroaig pours, so too do some side conversations, stories, and outright madnesses! If you've got some booze of your own, have a pull and join us for this special episode.

Micah White returns to battle Shannon on a list of topics pertaining to the merry old month of May. We're talking about May Day, Mayday mayday mayday, Theresa May, Mayberry, and more. There's singing. There's whistling. There's contemplations on bad parenting. Nate even sticks his foot in his mouth a couple of times! No matter what, there ain't no good reason for getting all depressed... Unless you hate mayonnaise.
