Another fall fruit to pick! The Boston Marathon in Fall. Runaway zebras. Facercize and a passing reference to Kissing Booth 3.

"It's time to coordinate outfits and go apple picking with lots of pictures!" Does this sound like you? If it does, we need to talk. Also, do you have a favorite apple? There's so many varieties now it's hard to pick just one but we help you figure it out.

"Missed Connections" posts on Craigslist can be hit-or-miss but we found some gems and we read them to you with panache. Otherwise, the rest of the show digs into observational stuff like, staring up at the sky, all forms of entertainment "on ice", and other whimsical topics.

How do you feel about going back to school? Let's talk about it! Plus, super-long school emails, the last summer book club meeting, and more continuing ed commentary.

Small towns, small problems. Like, animals living in your cabinets or dying in your driveway. Whah? It's complicated but we break it down for our Scuttlebuds. Also, what do tattoos, ice cream sandwiches, and hurricanes all have in common? Absolutely nothing! But our tangents cover all that stuff and even more! Enjoy.

Barf bags and Kathe's performance at Nick's Comedy Stop (the two are not related). Wanna be a florist? How 'bout a writer? Perhaps an expert in hurricanes? These are just some fantastical adult ed. courses being offered right now! Also, snarky T-shirts, why? And, quarantine dogs need more boundaries. Fin.

Kelly MacFarland is a Boston-based comic with some impressive credits, two albums, and a ton of upcoming shows. Whether she's performing in a barn or a huge arena, Kelly makes the audience feel like they're all just hanging out together. Hey, wait a minute, that's what we're doing on this episode!

Frivolous phone calls, citizens arrests, and horse molesters. It's all here as we hang with officer P'tah Johnson of the Brookline (MA) PD. Join us as we pick his brain and get the real scoop from a police officer's perspective.

Good grief! Halfway into this "30 Annoying Things" list and we're convinced the author got her journalism degree out of a cereal box. Spare us the cliches and city-slicker perspective. Some people only wish they were greeted with forced politeness in public. So, let's reflect on what we have and try to make the best of it.

A hit piece came out railing against small towns and it ain't pretty. We're not just going to sit here and take it either. No! We are going to just sit here and talk about it! Let's do our best to keep it positive as we debate things like having to drive everywhere, gossip always getting back to the wrong person, and the use of the word adorable. Oh, what's that? We're out of time? Well, at least we get through the first half of this list.
