Today, Tim and LeeAnna talk about when everything unexpectedly goes pear-shaped, and the gawkable spectacle of embarrassed deflation. Writers, get ready to humble your characters. Non-writers, stay tuned for some cringey moments, including a “chicken in curry” calamity.

Of course, as with all our podcasts, we’ve spared you the soul-crushing ads for super-comfortable mattresses that promise to change your life, but really just take over your bedroom and cost more than your rent. You’re welcome—because we care about your sleep (and your finances). And if one of those ads sneaks in, I swear we didn’t approve it. Just blame it on the algorithm’s obsession with making you think you can’t sleep without a mattress that costs as much as a small car.
