Sadie’s Big Escape, Night Terrors, New Haterz!
(TW: self-harm)
Matt Lieb is here making his triumphant Thursday Show debut. Robin Shorr is also here, shaken up but okay after Sadie's grand escape. All these years later we can still attract some new haters and I want to know about the whole Emily Fleming boob fiasco from Matt's point of view. Elliot had a night terror and we're talking about limericks, Paul F. Tompkins's Halt and Catch Fire song and so much more.

Daniel and Alison (Your Calls and Slurp Alert)
Daniel is once again concerned about the health effects of being woken up in the middle of the night and I'm questioning where he's getting this alarming info. We discuss the world's smallest violin and did you know there's a sequel to Oedipus Rex? I have breaking eyeball news and we're taking not only your calls but your written communication. Plus a lot of info about fish tanks and and tattoos.

Customer Reviews
Daniel has a tell
He says “honey” when he’s about to be deliberately obtuse or outright condescending. The amount he feigns confusion is insane. Guy doesn’t know the difference between “Grand Canyon” and a town’s slogan, someone needs to step in and have a pet name to explain why that lil guy is wrong. One’s an ancient natural awe (quote: ‘do you expierence awe?’ Jerk off motion) and the other is wow we have kinda lame pink sunrises that we will beat you over the head with in tourist packages. Worlds different. But this is nothing new for him as i’ve been noticing the “honey” thing for a better part of a year.
TLDR Quantz is a C, but if it’s prefaced by “honey” he’s about to be a turbo-C.
Five stars.
Ran out of my bedroom laughing
I have been listening to podcasts for over a decade and this is the first time I’ve ever written a review. I have been listening to this podcast after listening to Alison on Josh Wolf’s podcast in 2016. I was charmed by her humor, vocabulary, and vulnerability. I then shortly started listening to this podcast and have been loyal since. What has caused me to write a review what the posting of an encore podcast from 2015 and the phrases uttered by everyone like “do you need someone to hold you while you poop” caused me to run out of my bedroom in the middle of changing because my fiancé was still sleeping and I was about to bust out laughing. Thank you for the years of entertainment and the more to come.
My old reliable
I’ve been listening since Alison was on Natch Beaut and have listened ever since. I find the conversations pleasant and asking the same questions that I would ask. Also Alison is always out here with these $100 words, really helping me with my adult vocabulary. Thanks for all the many hours and here’s to many more 🥂
