Welcome to F*#k Town, population ALGIS!

In this episode, Val talks a lot about Batman inside jokes and goes on a classic tangent, inventing a new Batman villain on the spot called "The Ostrich". She then talks about the prospects of PodGis and the exciting new future ahead, and closes it out with some observations on the recent "discourse" and "controversy" around the streamer known as F1nnster. Enjoy, and remember to always keep a keen eye on the skies for the threat of Batman's justice.

In this shorter episode, Val discusses being in the midst of a dog-sitting adventure and how challenging and revealing it has been for her. She also discusses "The Mole" on Netflix and how she completely buffoonerously spoiled it for herself, and then calls it a night to go cuddle with a pooch! This one's a softie! More later! Have a good week!

Let's get LUMPY! What a lumpy lumpy start, as Algis acknowledges her egregious blunder of forgetting to edit in the theme song in the previous episode! It won't happen again? It won't happen again!

She then talks about being a third wheel, her upcoming dogsitting stint that she's really looking forward to, being the only one in a big family without a partner, a story about the last time she rode on a horse, livin' a "Lumpy Life", a short update on "Porn Guy", funny things to do during sex and how difficult it is to do serious sex talk, a great card idea she has for card battling games, and some parting thoughts on A.I. art.

See you next week, baby! <3

What a week Val (AKA Algis) has had! She spends most of this episode dissecting and discussing her experience with going viral on Instagram for a silly dance: the influx of hate and pettiness, the addictive feelings of watching the numbers and tracking the likes, the lack of thought that went into the video in the first place, the universality and relatability of the clip, and much much more. She really does a deep dive on what it's like to go viral for the first time, in case you happen to be curious. Come celebrate with her! ...With humility and modesty, of course.

Oh, right - and she concludes on an update into the "Porn Guy" situation.

Welcome back! AGAIN! And again and again and again welcome back, because Val can't seem to nail down a regular weekly schedule! BUT she packs another episode with quality (with an extra 15 minutes of oomphy quantity!), covering such topics as: remembering the word for "gingham" and her family's inside jokes involving the word "Tannenbaum"; Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard prank phone calls; profound thoughts on how our brains are like computers, and how memory might work; the zen advice she tends to give newer comics; her practice of the "not for me" mantra; another story about an auditory memory that makes Val laugh; an observation of the things people do to project that they're not dumb; and she ends on a story about her latest escapades involving a man she will henceforth refer to as "PORN GUY".

What a special one this one is! Algis comes hot out of the gate, Ellen-style singing and dancing in the snow! She goes on a tangent about song lyrics that only make sense to the writer. Then after burning her tongue on her tea she gets distracted from her point about earworms and instead explores the most American thing she could think of; goes into a lengthy philosophical dissection of the absurdity of regret (very brainy! Wow! SO brain!); applies that perspective on regret to her own transition, and comments on Transgender Awareness Week; her inability to relate to people; and then she wraps it all up with some great callbacks and funny likkle thoughts :)

This is an especially good episode if you're looking for spontaneous sillies, personal reflections, and a nice, chewy philosophical exploration!

Hello hi hello! Welcome to PodGis! Al Val's unofficially official podcast!

In this hairy scary episode, Val braves the growing fog outside her window and discusses the string of shows she'd recently had and the simple things that can make a set suddenly interesting and inventive; online dating and her cynicism towards the dating landscape; people who have an "INNUENDO ONLY" sense of humour; a funny memory involving Val's friend's Jamaican parents; tolerating boredom; being superficial on dating apps and in searching for a partner in general; an awkward run-in with a pizza guy; her insecurities about her dating future and reflections on the homophobia throughout Twitter and in the Premier League fanbase.

(Update: Immediately upon concluding the recording of this episode, Val opened Hinge to discover that the guy asking her out had deleted the chat and disappeared. Surely she'll talk about this next week!)

Let's start out by saying this first: in this episode of "PodGis", Val gets a ton of mileage out of a silly sounding stutter he accidentally exclaims. Otherwise, in this episode Val discusses voting and democracy; she discusses her hairline surgery - the grotesqueries, the discomforts and the triumphs of it all; Chance the Rapper's recent trans-related controversy, and the broader implications regarding male insecurity and sexuality; a tale about a man who got handsy during a horrifying moment in a film premiere; attending a seminar about writing environmentally-conscious content, ending in some thoughts on the subjective nature of morality; Brandan Schaub, and the decades-behind stupidity of the typical AIDS joke; and some bonus content about how disappointing '69' is as a sexual position

On the eve before her hairline surgery Val is brimming with exuberance, dancing lithely from topic to topic, streaming a thread of consciousness through a wide myriad of topics off the top: obsessing over a single song, being an obsessive person, pitching TV shows and the deadly secrecy around it, the lone hair on the box, what "street smarts" really means, and how Canadians say "aBOOT". Val then calms down, puts her hands on her butt for calm, and then talks about her dog whispering abilities, and then concludes on a very emotional note in which she talks about a profound, heartbreaking yet inspiring personal breakthrough she'd recently had.
