  • Ep. 53: Judging a Book by Its Cover

    We read a book. Somehow Tayler finished it (much faster than Randi). And to those of you who say you SHOULDN'T judge a book by its cover. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE THERE FOR!!!! HOW ELSE ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DECIDE IF IT'S INTERESTING?? I mean come ON. Whoever made that adage is stupid.

  • Pocket Change: Lateral Thinking Puzzle
    There's this albatross, right? And it stumbles into a bar and the bartender says "Why the long face?" and then, get this, the albatross says "Because I just committed manslaughter." The bartender, not knowing how to respond, simply pours himself a glass of whisky and sips. After his first gulp, he notices something peculiar about the taste. Looking down, he realizes that this isn't whisky, its a cup of Coca-Cola. Realizing that he must be dreaming, the bartender forces himself awake and turns to his wife next to him who is silently flipping through the pages of the most recent and steamy installation of The Front of my Backdoor. He begins to tell his wife about the strange dream, but if she was listening, her blasé platitudes gave no implication of recognition. The bartender stops, lays back down, and silently cries himself to sleep as his marriage is in shambles.

  • Episode 52: All the Places (ft. Chris Lee)

    We're STILL talking about it. Everything Everywhere All at Once is so good we dedicated TWO EPISODES to it. Joined by our fellow collaborator and close friend Chris Lee, we explore more deeply the themes and use of comedy that makes this movie so impactful. (And don't worry, Garfield Pooch Punter is still up and running)
