Your Artificial Friends

Ever wanted to be a fly on the wall to hear someone's conversation?  Now you can be, because this episode with Andy and Larry is entirely and unexpectedly recorded from a room microphone instead of the mics right in front of them.  It's groundbreaking podcasting, really -- no one else is doing this.  The sound quality is about that of a butt-dial on a cell phone, and just as interesting.  We hope you like it, because we'll never make this mistake again.  Probably.

Josh like you've never heard him before, Andy laughing like a hyena.  That's what you get when the topic turns to the correct pronunciation of Louisville... and related matters.  How strong is your stomach?  Find out in this episode of Your Artificial Friends.

In this first ever straight-to-the-streets YAF podcast, Andy and Josh discuss warm memories of pet deaths, the difference between dog minutiae and dog dirt, and the appropriate width of a spectator seat.  Also, we delve in to a backlog of Facebag.  Come right on in, artificial friend!

Merry New Year!  Andy and Josh get together for the first episode of 2019 to discuss successful hip surgeries, Christmas Day delights, and fond wishes for a 2019 that doesn't suck half as bad as 2018 did.  And then a cricket on a cracker on a plectrum seals the deal.

Here it is!  The last episode for 2018.  You'll swoon and delight at the range of topics covered in this chapter of YAF, including expert Chex mix, shed completions, loads of Facebag, and our loving gifts for each other for the holidays.  THIS is the episode you've been pining for all year long, and the last one before Andy goes under the knife to have his hip sliced up like a Christmas ham.  Happy Holidays!  See you all in 2019!

Today, Andy and Larry inadvisably discuss the merits of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and other "holiday" music, minutely scrutinize some of the best holiday films, and share their dearest childhood holiday traditions -- and then shrug at why they no longer observe them.  It's a real heartwarming edition of YAF.  Have a listen to the second-to-last episode of the year!

Larry gets a D in listening comprehension, but he gets an A in attendance... today, anyway.  And sure, there's shed talk, but there's also scintillating holiday music criticism, Christmas beverages, and further examination of the glory of pie.  Josh, Lare and Ange extend a (second) winter welcome to join us in enjoying the YAF podcast.

Sam joins Andy and Josh for a fun catch-up on all things Thanksgiving, Christmas, shed and football.  And really, what else is there in life?  Enjoy this fat-chewing episode with 3/4 of your Artificial crew in tow!

Josh and Andy discuss the worst fruit, animals they think they could take in a street fight, and more old people food.  Also:  the best kind of weiners, Christmas trees, and the relevance of green holiday lasers.  It's another cornucopia of fall joy, and the title of today's episode makes it in just under the wire.  Enjoy!

It's our Thanksgiving episode!  Well, you have to peel away all the talk about sheds, crappy neighbors, organ meats, turkey basters and plastic Christmas trees, but we do eventually mention some things for which we're thankful.  And you, the YAF listener, make the list.  Happy THANKSgiving, as Josh says.
