The Complete Disaster Podcast

Packing up and getting on a plane isn't always a one way ticket to relaxation. Especially when your kid has pneumonia. Or you're a workaholic. Or you have to do anything involving a train. Almost makes you want to start smoking eleven packs a day like in the good old days.

That's right. You're getting a Sunday Lost Episode too. It's our way of making up for the excruciating seven days of no new content over Christmas. Okay, technically this isn't new content either, but unless your memory is really good and you've been listening for 12 consecutive years, it's new to you.

Jerrod, whose name is not Girard, was guest number three on our show. If you're wondering what happened to guest number two, we already uploaded that Lost Episode a while back. And if you're wondering what the deal is with the ending, that's just how it is. Your audio player is not broken.

Here it is: the very first episode we ever released, recorded with Nick Swardson. We're coming up on 13 years, which makes these vintage. Or maybe retro. Whatever they are, I think I'm just going to start releasing them in chronological order. It's been long enough that every episode has historical value, right? Like those ancient clay tablets that are just grocery lists.

Our show has a storied history of Greek inclusion. There's Costaki, there's Angelo. There are probably more, but I can't think of any right now. Ashley Judd is, to our knowledge, not Greek.
