  • Episode 24: Locked the Tushy

    It's the St. Patrick's Day Episode! 

    Talk to us about this episode by sending an email to [email protected]

    • This lucky episode  has four panelists including Aaron, Dav, Gary, & Francis.
  • Riddles and/or puns?
  • It's not easy punning green! 

    • A quick show note: In editing the episode, something that never occurred to the panelists became clear. Our first game included songs that ARE puns, i.e., a song that sounds like another song but is not the same song. Pretty nifty!

  • Episode 23: Pun-Off Dinner 2019 Part 1

    Our first ever live audience recording! The original recording was over two hours, so we cobbled together the first 30 or so minutes of usable recording and here it is! As you may surmise, the fact that this is "Part 1" means that you can expect a "Part 2" sometime in the future.
