Buddies bumbling through baby care, busy seasons, and a bout of brain pain (migraine) were unable to work on this side project.  Enjoy this B-side material from the cutting room floor!  We will be back strong next week!

Sorry for the delay.. but really the title kinda sums it this one up.  Life got in the way of recording this weekend... and we couldn't be happier for the reason! Congrats Co-host Dave and co. 

Correction: Outtakes are outtakes for reasons folks.  "Love Changes Everything" is not just a single but a song from the musical Aspects of Love by Andrew Lloyd Weber with Michael Ball originating the part.

Aaron honestly has no good observations to make concerning this episode.  Dave wishes Aaron's younger self felt the same way about poetry.

Aaron and Dave encounter a love poem so cliché they basically talked about similar songs for an hour and just remembered they were doing a podcast near the end.

Dave and Aaron may have been tempted to skip this one.  Discussions around shame and purity culture seek to understand the root cause of this bad poem.

A "Season One: Thoughts of a Misunderstood" bonus episode with a some cut stuff from the second half of the year.  Hopefully you can enjoy and laugh along the stuff that wasn't good enough or too tangential for the edited episodes (and you've heard the what's made it in so you know what you are getting into).  See "Thanksgiving Leftovers" for the first round of rough takes and mistakes.  

We will see you with new full episodes soon!

Dave and Aaron reach the end of the first batch of poems from the Wolf Journal and decide to put a proverbial bow on it.  Aaron reveals the title his former teenage self gave to a Word document "anthology" containing all these poems, as well as shows Dave the Microsoft Paint title page created for the project.  Truly this finale is "pulp-full" of everything you could ever hope for or need... even Aaron's dog gets a short shake of a cameo around the 18 minute mark.
