    "High in the halls of the kings who are gone
    Jenny would dance with her ghosts.
    The ones she had lost and the ones she had found.
    And the ones who had loved her the most.
    The ones who’d been gone for so very long
    She couldn’t remember their names
    They spun her around on the damp, cold stone
    Spun away her sorrow and pain
    And she never wanted to leave"

    - Jenny's Song

Joey commenting ,

Thanks everybody

Thanks to everybody who listens. It's really fun to make these. It's even better when people listen. It's best when people give us reviews.

A Flower Among Nettles

I'm just a humble goat, relinquishing my mild milk for the creation of soft-cheeses, but I think these guys run an interesting and topically diverse podcast. Their emphasis on balance and their humble presentation sets them apart from most opinion-based platforms. Unlike the rest of the braying assess on this farm, they present their arguments in a way that respectfully acknowledges the opposition while remaining faithful to their ideals. Anyway, they're tight and I swear I have absolutely no dogs in this fight--I'M COMPLETELY IMPARTIAL-- so listen to me by listening to them.

Tofu's Tentacle Collection ,

Nobody pronounces it "pour"

It's poor.

Great podcast! Really well done. If you like to laugh and enjoy listening to people make fun of each other and talk about sports and pop culture, definitely download.
