Wackiness abounds ..... aplenty..... there's... a...lot. You get the idea.

S3 E13 & E15 & E24 Consoildated - We got Covid
Our June 2024 Consolidated release features 3 interviews from 2020. It was the first summer of covid and interviewing people who got the novel virus seemed like a novel idea. The first interview is a covid skit and the other 2 interviews are people that got covid early when it was a little mysterious. The last interview features my co-host Jim Marten himself and his early covid experience.

S7 E7A - Alan Salazar - Top Ten Lists
For the second half of our interview with comedian and producer, Alan Salazar, we play a little game called Guess the Top Ten. We take a look at several top ten lists and (surprise, surprise) see how many we can guess. We also gripe about the rankings, gloat about the extent of our irrelevant knowledge or sometimes both. Being right or wrong doesn't really make a difference, as long as we all have fun (but of course being right is better!). Enjoy!
