Episode 680: Quindecennial

1/9/2025
Happy 15th birthday to us! It's our Crystal Anniversary so join us along Memory Lane as we reminisce about scrapped episodes, missteps, regrets and harrowing encounters before we, yet again, proposition Dennis Quaid. We share memories of corporate retreats and defunct segments before interviewing Mrs Cubbinson and Cookie Monster and sharing advice to our past selves. After a group pinkie swear we play Real or Fake Episode before Molly refuses to get sappy and we reveal the location of our next corporate retreat.

12/26/2024
We know we always say this but seriously, how have we never done this before!? The anticipation is over because today there are no rules except the rules as we break off a piece of that graham cracker and loose wiles beget looser morals. We want to assure our listeners that ALL of our magnetic appliances are thoroughly tested against the unchaste passions of youth and that we've done a 180 on some of our policies.

What better way to kick off spooky season than with an episode dedicated to devilry, danger zones and possessions? As we hesitantly traverse our malodorous memory lanes, we encounter key parties, baby loaves and fuzzy green inhabitants before escaping into dream territory. This sounds weird, here you listen.
