So please, for you and your body's sake, please join us in the waters, won't you?

Ok folks, it appears we've made a si able mistake. Somehow in making jokes about an invisible  , we've seemingly made all  s we try to type invisible. We were just goofing, you know, just getting ja  y with our words. I don't know what deity has caused this. None of us are particularly  ealous in our religious beliefs, yet this certainly implies some kind of digital force that has messed with what we can or cannot do. If it wouldn't cause a ba illion emails to get sent to us, I'd blame "Arthur Smarts" for this.
In this episode: David hits the wall, Giovanni has heard enough, Tess keeps trying, Greg has gotta go fast.

Often times being in a first-person means seeing things through the eyes of the character you control, but boy howdy do we get into the brains of our hosts in this episode. Do they always make sense? No, they've categorically proven that to not be the case. But hopefully this episode will help shed some light on their perspective as they talk about first-person.
In this episode: Tess experiences a big shift. David doesn't feel so great. Giovanni makes a startling discovery. Greg gets asked some hard questions.

Thanks to everyone who came and supported us during the 24-hour stream benefitting NAMI Seattle!
Bosses. Babies. A perfect match. In this episode we talk about video games, Boss Baby, and also the Boss Baby interactive game. With DreamWorks Animation's cultural touchstone taking the world by storm, it makes sense this would take up so much real estate during the Boss episode. And if you got a problem with that then I've got a pink slip for you.
In this episode: Tess runs the world. David fights the big ones. Giovanni leads the way. Greg gets overrun by the rush.
