You asked for a detour from our usual chronological order, and here it is! We'll return to our Season 2 recaps next week, but today we're diving into a TENTPOLE Sue and Brad episode - 602, "The Loneliest Locker." It’s a personal favorite, and we’re sharing all the details of creating the performance, from the signature walk to the shaky choreography. Plus, we’ll read some great comments and answer a fan question.

We can honestly say: today's guest is one for the books! Greg Cipes (AKA Chuck from the quarry) is with us as we talk about 204, "The Quarry." His free spirit nature is palpable in every minute of this recap. We ask him about his illustrious voice acting career, he tells us about his childhood pet snake, and leaves us with a mantra. All while being seated on the floor, criss-cross apple sauce.

Lace up your tap shoes, we're recapping ep 203, "The Diaper Incident!" After a VERY important question from a listener who asked our Traitors and Survivor hot takes, we break down the episode with our director, Wendey Stanzler (Sex and the City, Glee, This is Us). Brock shares how he prepared a full tap routine and Wendey makes us belly laugh with her sharp, quick humor.
