    Ep. 125: Ample Cake

    Ep. 125: Ample Cake

    We’re just out here learning things we never wanted (or knew we wanted) to learn, like: when do you, as a nude model, remove your pants? Or who is better, Mr. Pibb or Dr. Pepper? There’s a clear right answer for that last one. Anyway, hold on to your big holes, Talon and Sarah are here for another week of deep dives and sexual awakening stories.
    We'll be taking a brief hiatus after this episode and we'll be back June 23rd!
    If you’re in LA, you can catch Sarah and girlfriend of the show, Elena Afanasiev, LIVE at Westside Comedy Theater as their absurdist improv duo Dock of the Bay! The next two shows take place on May 29th and June 12th. For tickets and more info, click here: https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pe.c/11263844

    Ep. 124: Milk Boy

    With all the rizz of a competitive eater (are we using that word right?) Talon and Sarah are back to answer the world’s oldest question: what’s the difference between a weasel and a ferret? Plus, things not to say on the MAX, why you shouldn’t google anything with the word teen, and a new (and probably short-lived) segment!

    Ep. 122: Squidward Dollars

    Look out Joaquin, there’s a new joker in town! In this episode, we dive deep into the laws of man. You’ll learn what not to do in the gym, on airplanes, in the pool, and on missed connections. And for some reason, there is more than one conversation about bangin’ Disney characters. It’s not our fault. Let’s get cracking! Unless you’re oozing hellfire, then you should wait a bit (apparently).
    Our next episode will be our annual 420 episode and will be released on Thursday, April 20th! Spark up and join us!

    Ep. 121: The Curse of the Kissin’ Cousins

    Ep. 121: The Curse of the Kissin’ Cousins

    Sorry for using Talon’s least favorite new phrase as a title, but at least we’re back! The List has been hard at work while we’ve been gone, showcasing new flirting techniques, containing barely veiled homosexual tension, and to be frank, lighting that pu***y up. Plus, Talon and Sarah go down a real -ussy rabbit hole (ha ha) you don’t want to miss.

    Ep. 120: Welcome to the Weirdaverse

    Ep. 120: Welcome to the Weirdaverse

    In this week’s episode, Talon and Sarah are in their hamster era as they pitch a controversial new bumper sticker, wish they were interacting with a uterus (don’t we all??), and most importantly, discuss the positives of dating a Blue Man. Get tucked into your crying corner, it’s a doozy!

Don’t let the new theme song scare you away

Yes, I’m sorry. I don’t like the new theme song. But I can’t let it take away from five stars because these two make me break into giggles that are probably disturbing to hear with no context, and that sometimes bubble up without my say so. I can’t say if it’s my autism disliking change, the resentment of not hearing Rosie Sherman’s dulcet tones, or the fact that it goes on for a minute and a half that led me to dislike the new theme song, despite it being objectively amusing and witty. But don’t let it scare you off! This podcast is still the funniest on my feed.

CRAIG-MAZING!

Best movie podcast on the internet!

Hilarious, charming, honest

This podcast is one of a kind, simply for the chemistry between the two hosts. Hilarious in their own ways and endless riff-offs that will make you laugh. Their hot takes are relatable and it feels as though you’re in the room with them. Can’t recommend this show enough. GO LISTEN.
