    Sasheer Is Waiting with Bated Breath

    We all miss the old days of TV where you got 22 episodes a season. This week, Sasheer talks about finishing Dawson’s Creek (WARNING - light yet non-specific spoilers ahead) and Nicole counts dick-sightings on Queer as Folk. Jordan is having a bowl of milk-less cereal, leading Nicole and Sasheer to wax nostalgic over their favorite childhood cereals. Nicole likes to have sky meals on the ground, but is not a coleslaw queen. They discuss the plot of Never Been Kissed, a mom who punched a teacher, the perfection of Golden Arm, the work of director Sam Raimi, and the musical episode of Xena: Warrior Princess. Then they answer listener questions about their experiences doing improv comedy and awkward run-ins with neighbors.
