  • Episode 22: Two Vacuums = One Cargo Ship
    Guys, we're sorry for this one. This is our second annual Christmas episode and it's just the epitome of capitalism, so it's bound to make you angry. It sure made us angry! We're thinking sticking to the wealthy of the past for the next few episodes may be smart. Anyways, take a listen for Stephen up first talking about the top ten most expensive gifts you could buy, and then listen to Haley talk about how the wealthy of today spend an average Christmas (lights, gingerbread houses, dinner, etc.)
    (also sorry for Stephen sounding like he's a bit muffled, but we ARE technological difficulties the podcast)

  • Episode 21: Eatin' Chicken, Lickin' Walls (with Guests Alicia, Brandon, & Chris)
    Welcome to a very special guest episode! Say hello to Haley's Thanksgiving Dinner guests, Alicia, Brandon, & Chris, who kindly agreed to be told an outlandish story by Haley. This episode is all about the 5th Duke of Portland, an aristocrat we're fairly certain is a mole person.
    PS Please excuse any echos, editing was difficult due to the many voices.

  • Episode 19: Support Petty B*tches
    Oh boy, here we go naming our listeners and coming up with segment names, everybody run for your lives! Stephen goes first today with the topic of a Gilded Age millionaire who probably could have become an Owl themed version of Batman. Haley opts to talk about the Golden Age of Hollywood and its 1920's power couple and also a minorly spooky story?

  • Episode 17: The Wiz Khalifa
    Sorry we're late! Moving is the worst, right? Hopefully we can make it up to you with the show's very first two part episode! Stephen had so much information on a guy named Jakob Fugger that he needed 2 parts.
    And Haley just wanted to make you feel bad about your current bank account balance by talking about all the things you can spend your money on in the richest city in the world.
