La and La keep trying to move forward with their lives. This week they attempt to exorcise a ghost that has haunted them since they were ten. They also try to express gratitude for little things that have gone right this past week, and once again they commit to their artistic endeavors.

Today the 60-year-old La twins concede that they will never make a living doing what they love. But they refuse to give up on acting and writing altogether. In that spirit, Attic La has written a monologue for his actor brother Basement La who is not quite ready to read it aloud. Finally, they share their first listener letter which leads them to a memory from their childhood that they agree is their only happy one.

In this episode, twins La and La explain why they are back in Schenectady at age 60 after decades of trying to make it in showbiz (Basement La) and in publishing (Attic La). They scrape together a living working abominable jobs that wear them down. La and La describe the now-deceased cast of family characters who unwittingly bequeathed this difficult life to them. And they share juicy stories about people from their professional past, including show business personalities. They also give some expert tips for surviving survival jobs, and commit to at least one creative endeavor before the next podcast. Email them at [email protected].
