    “Karen Locked on Balcony (Ambient Sound)” intro by David Kato [I’ve gotten locked out on our balcony once before, as documented in an old episode. Bizarrely, I managed to get audio of a neighbor on a bordering property going through the same experience, months after mine. Throughout the three combined clips, 1) she gets the attention of a passerby, they discuss how she got locked out (watering her plants), if her front door is unlocked, if she can climb down (there’s no point, she’d still be locked out), & if she’s called anyone. The passerby leaves to go check the manager’s office. 2) Karen hears back from her boyfriend, who can’t get there for a couple hours. 3) The passerby returns, saying that the property manager is on their way. You can hear Karen’s dog going berserk, barking from inside the unit as Karen waits helplessly, pondering her next dumb move to wreak havoc on the world.] “Momma Miss America” theme by Laws & J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League “Doin’ Time (Summertime Supercut)(LDR Remake + Original + Eerie Splendor Remix + LDR Instrumentals)” outro by Sublime, Lana Del Rey, & Mad Lion Today, we discuss the BS of receiving medical insurance bills a year later, the irony of fear-based gun ownership, the 401k retirement scam, acknowledging the side-effects of what you want, prayer & faith vs action & education, the BS banking practice of listing one large single purchase as multiple transactions, thoughts on the milk industry, and a conspiracy theory about preventing protests.

    “July Birds (Ambient Sound)” intro by David Kato “Momma Miss America” theme by Laws & J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League “That’s What I Like” interlude by Bruno Mars “Epic” outro by B.o.B. We got halfway through this episode and seriously began questioning whether Dave got his old notes mixed in with his new notes, wondering if we had actually already recorded this show. But we’re pretty sure we haven’t… pretty sure… we hope. The cherry on top: Ashley once again lost her audio for the second half of the show. I’m not keeping track, but I’m pretty sure that’s her fourth time. That’s great. 1) We reflect on what we’ve been up to over hiatus, 2) Dave struggling with finding purpose and motivation, 3) struggling to resolve our petty fights that feel big at the time, 4) apartment neighbor annoyances, 5) cool mockingbird neighbors, 6) a useful online voting tool at VotersEdge.org, 7) brand loyalty recommendations, 8) questionable marketing, 9) taking risks and chances only on things you’re innately attracted to, 10) improv vs speech class in school, 11) a conspiracy about fan edit movies, 12) the ethical entertainment the artist formerly known as Will Smith says he aspires for, 13) the questionable efficacy of car alarms, 14) Amazon’s devious efforts to scam their customers, 15) and the uselessness of comparing ourselves to famous successful people.
