#SOLA

On this episode of #SoLA, Camille and Charlie are slipping deeper into delusion, putting the X back in XMas, drinking boozy eggnog from HomeState and slowly falling apart. Charlie is pitching new podcast ideas and dates for Camille. Camille is still obsessing over minor flaws in the Star Wars and Back to the Future universes. Most importantly, they realize that #SoLA was merely a coping mechanism to make it through the Trump era. And Charlie just discovered Buzzfeed and explains to everyone the ins and outs of the Mandela Affect… which begs the question, Frasier, did this podcast ever exist at all? Merry Christmas! 

On this episode, Camille and Charlie slowly unravel while wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving... or as close as one can hope for one in the year of our lord 2020. Chaz is back with a gender reveal, Charlie is back with some Harold Team names and a dating game for Camille. They discuss Phil Specter's long commute to find someone to murder, Camille's hatred for parking attendants and probably some other topics, too. Hang in there! At least 2020 is almost over! 

On this episode of #SoLA, Camille and Charlie realize it’s their 69th episode, make a bunch of bad jokes about it, then move on to Mean Camille being very uncharitable on many topics. She blames Camibriel Byrne. Charlie has lots of Harold Team names, and many updates from Chaz/Chez/etc. Camille discusses her perma-bloodshot eyes and coasters for far too long. They figure out Weezer is to blame for all the ills of the world and Kula, if you're still listening, please come join us for a #SoLA Nation episode. 

It's basically a lot of Nero-ing a violin while LA burns to the ground. Hopefully we're able to make it to another week so we can apologize for all the awful stuff we said this week. 

On this episode of #SoLA, Camille and Charlie remember they have a podcast! And The Musical Artist Chaz remembers he’s a character. They discuss pandemic regrets, bake bread, the computer overheats, Charlie promotes his upcoming competing podcast Balk Talk, probably some other stuff happens and they give advice to Christopher Nolan. It’s just another very unperfect day in the pandemic in LA. 

PLEASE PARDON THE SOUND OF OUR CHAIRS, TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES AND GENERAL INSANITY.

On this episode of #SoLA, Camille and Charlie are joined by their friends, the band Secret American! Derek Kryzwicki and Todd Mecaughey- along with band mom/Todd’s wife, Natalie- join the #soLA insanity via Zoom and Charlie and Camille get to geek out about their favorite Secret American songs, how the band ended up in Weird City and what's next for everyone. They discuss LA bands and music- Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Doors, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Beach Boys... and the lack of daily doses of the Chili Peppers and Sublime now that we're in quarantine. This somewhat Philly-based band talk East Coasters' views of LA, what it’s like to be in a bi-coastal and, of course, routes! 

On this episode of #SoLA, Charlie and Camille are Zoom chatting with their good friend Rob Huebel. Huebel recently abandoned city life to move to a different part of the city, aka the boonies of Pasadena (only 15 minutes away!). They discuss the running free commercial for HomeState that #soLA has become, as well as how bad Camille and Charlie are at hosting a podcast. Charlie and Rob also discuss their Academy Award winning show Do You Wanna See a Dead Body, as well as Charlie’s lost sketch from Rob’s show Human Giant. There’s some Southern talk, some pandemic What’s the Point talk, lots of talk about moving out of urban blight and are we maybe moving to Pasadena? 

On this episode of #SoLA, Camille and Charlie realize their last pandemic episode was TOO good and push further into quarantine insanity to discuss their New Normal, er, New Nermal? 

Harold Team Names are still free for now…. except one terrible one that cannot be uttered out loud. (Balloon, that’s all we’re saying.) They do puzzles now. They shop at HomeState. Charlie is still failing at Southwest Airlines humor. 

And Garfield was right about a few things: Mondays suck, Nermal sucks. Orson sucks. Turns out Camille cares a LOT about Garfield. Maybe SHE is the Garfield Purist. Yep, he’s still alive.

What IS this podcast? WE DONT KNOW. 

On this episode of #SoLA, Camille and Charlie delve deeply into the causes of COVID-19. Not, you know, the actual causes. But, like, how we as a people maybe brought this on ourselves. Veggie burgers that bleed, inner child journals, pointless remakes, the show Crashing on HBO, Bombas socks, the podcast #SoLA…

Also, Hi Curtis! 

On this episode of #SoLA, Charlie and Camille check in from Day 13 of Coronavirus lockdown. It's going great! Camille has fallen into complete disarray and Charlie is wearing JEANS EVERY DAY. 

They miss the Dodgers, El Coyote and Musso & Frank, but are finding ways of coping. Mostly drinking gin and tonics (they're healthy!), actually doing DuoLingo, making beans and wondering where all the limes went. 

We meet a few new characters: Greg and Gary Hemingway, the Musical Artist Cornelius, and a character to-be-named. (Send your character name suggestions and gluten-free blondie recipes to Will Hines on Twitter dot com.) Please forgive our creaking floors, the sounds of our neighbors and our general insanity. 

Shout out to our patreons Meg and Tricia! And don't forget to wash your hands!

On this episode of #SoLA, Camille and Charlie offer a round of Retractions and Apologies for, well, pretty much all of Season 3. It seems in their brief time back they managed to alienate each member of their dwindling fanship- that’s what happens when you’re starting a dialog, forging new ground, stating ill-thought-out opinions on HBO, whathaveyou. 

Come for the retractions, stay for the reappearance of some favorite characters from the past, the discussion about Kevin Smith movies, and the biggest apology of all to Anosh McAdam. 

We’re Sorry.

Fidelio.
