2012 will be, for these three guys, the year of not buying anything. Physical things anyway. Or at least physical things we don’t absolutely need, according to three different standards. Matt Keene, Matt Cavedon, and Darius De La Cruz know each other from performing at the iO West improv theater, and when this idea came up in a Big Bennessy show Cavedon tried to say that he could do that no problem-- ‘I pretty much do already.’ Exactly what Everyone says when we tell them our project. Well, now you can listen and see how favorably you compare. We’ve even got Keene playing the part of the genuine minimalist to represent you, the listener. And he bought Shape-Ups in the first two weeks of January.

Ep. 8 - The Checkout
Big shout out goes to Nate Ballard for making us finish this podcast. Now six months after recording this episode you can hear us talk about six months worth of no purchasing before that! We fail to focus on a question from my aunt, and discuss with trepidation going forward into a year of commerce. Thanks, goodbye, go do something impressive yourself for a year.

Ep. 7 - June Gloom
Back from summer adventures Darius and Cavedon settle back into life in Los Angeles for better or worse (there is a fight). And as always with some narrow/unfair interpretation of the rules for not buying stuff (‘investing’ and ‘subscribing’ loopholes).
Listen to this penultimate episode a year after it was recorded, and enjoy a song to remember us by!
