We're back after an almost year long hiatus to talk 2024 and see how our 2023 predictions played out. Listen close for a link to see a visual aid for this episode, and enjoy a nice abbrev'd pod since Yishai stopped paying for Zoom so it kicks us off after 40 minutes!

It's been a minute but we're back with Yankee Swap, Magic tricks, riddles, Texas, 2023 predictions, trains, and more!

Listen in on some quality LottoTalk as we recall our fruitless efforts to hit the powerball. Turns out our strat of not picking winning numbers was a bad move. Also: introducing a new segment - The Pines Tribunal! We lay down official decrees on everything from super hot dudes to dippin' dots.

It's gripe o'clock when it comes to the Clinton Blue Line single file escalator situation, but then we're off to Tall Town to ask Ben what it's like being tall. Not gonna lie probably not our deepest or most insightful topic, but a good time was had - so stop on by The Laughing Pines!

Find out how Brookfield Zoo is doing these days, what's special about the number '40', play along with some TikTok Trivia, and find out which songs make a baby stop crying!

Sisterhood of timetraveling pants over here - somehow we skipped Jun-Aug and now it's September? On this ep, find out how to set the bar high to celebrate someone's 40th, test your traveling wits on a travel-themed triv, find out why Juicy Fruit tastes the way it does, and more!

A 12+ week hiatus means we have a lot to cover in this extra special LongPod. This one's great if you have a long boring drive. It's just like hanging out with us for real, except you can't take part in the conversation. Like watching bowling on TV where it's just never your turn. Find out about Will's trip to LA, listen to the new jingle, and get same great recs for pods and book!

Introducing: drops! Well just the one for now tbh but it's a total banger. Also: new reading of the phrase "The Laughing Pines" from when Yishai's voice was super low from being sick.

On today's ep we talk Audio Illusions, and introduce a new segment "Should I Tweet This?" Find out why last weekend was a great for football, and get the latest binge recs.

Come join us as we make predictions for the new year, talk tok, ER visits, and more!
