Old Chestnuts episodes

  • A Delicate Process

    Between getting turmericed, in full view of the neighbourhood, R. and C. discuss the longevity in her family, and the lack thereof in his. They also chew on snack phases, chugging contests, thievery, and the next six months. Brief and breezy this week.

  • Celiac

    On the first porch session, R. and C. speak on doctor visits, blood draw nausea, family traditions, losing your shit, and Jessica Simpson videos. Put down the focaccia and pick up your headphones to dig into these chestnuts.

  • Belly Full Of Toes

    A nickel ain't worth a dime, and worries ain't worth the time. R. an C. let themselves fantasize about how they might disperse a vulgar inpouring of cold hard cash, and what their dream job would look like. Plus, goopy vs creamy pies, dry vs. wet gangreen! Who will reign supreme?

  • Too Meaty

    Slithering snakes and stinky rats! R. and C. reflect on the creatures they've lived with and offer up some possible benefits to growing up with pets. Also, reasons for podcasting, methods of education, exceptionalism, and a cacophony of microphone handling. How could you not listen?

  • Sensitive Oddball

    Ten! Returning after a week off, R. and C. sit down without martinis, because the only olives they have smell like feet. Nonetheless, they manage a delightful chit chat about Birthright, getting out of your bubble at a formative age, the betrayal of storytelling, and vaccine generated tail growth.
