Your Artificial Friends

Sam surprises Andy and Josh with some sweet treats from an iconic source.  Then he tells another story about his bodily workings, but -- as opposed to the one involving his dog -- this one might actually save a life.

Larry answers viewer mail, while Andy gets giddy with excitement over his proposed shed and a trip to a genuine gem mine.  It's almost as good as it sounds!

Sam brings us the latest NFL analysis, and what the Mormons taught him about his family tree.  Plus classic movie lines and brown M&Ms.

Civil War buff Josh reports on his recent inaugural visit to a battle reenactment.  He also demonstrates to Andy his intense hatred for one of America's most revered confectionery delights.  Oh, and they get a little sloshy in a beer episode of another kind.

Larry pretends to give a toss about Andy's new job for 45 minutes.  And a couple other things.

Josh treats us to a lesson in woodwind instruments, while he and Andy drink a beer far too high in alcohol content for prudent podcasting.  Also, Josh has big weekend plans that might involve catching a ball in Vicksburg.

Andy explains "Family Leader Day" to Josh over beers, and the conversation devolves into gluten-free hipster-fest.  Anybody smell granola?

He still doesn't remember, and he threw it out.  But The Radio God pops in to wax nostalgic about early career misadventures.  It's a genuine hoot.

Andy, Josh and Sam talk the first NFL talk of the new season, Sam reveals a special relationship with his dog Lucky, and Andy's vise finally gets the credit it deserves.  Oh, and see if you can spot the heartiest genuine laugh thus far in YAF podcast history.

In this very special YAF episode, Andy and Larry talk about the Oscars -- both the awards on TV, and the real-life bitch it makes of your local Hollywood commute.  Listen in as these two cinephiles discuss films that mostly only Larry has seen.  Action!
