S2 Ep27: GHOST SEX!
5/5/2020
What began as an episode about the paranormal, took a turn rather quickly. Our first episode that is NSFW, depending on where you work I suppose. There are a bunch of people who believe in ghosts and of those people some believe they've had, ahem, intimate encounters. Adam cries from laughing. Buckle up.

S2 Ep26: You Believe in the Moon, huh?
4/28/2020
Saddam had a stargate. There were no Beatles (the band). We've attempted to awaken the gods of Egypt. You believe in the moon, huh? Siri the soothsayer. Denver is the house of all the evil in the world. We're talking theories of the conspiracy variety and not those lame, run of the mill theories. We got the good stuff.

S2 Ep25: Coronavirus Conspiracies...CAROLE BASKIN!!
4/21/2020
Oh boy. This is a fun one. We discuss time travel, stimulus checks, Tiger King, White Castle, gambling, 5G, Coronavirus conspiracy theories, Big Charmin, whether or not bears are real, and take sides on which country we are rooting for to listen to us the most. It's a hoot.

S2 Ep24: Corona Ketchup
4/14/2020
It's a Corona catch-up (...ketchup) with Devin and Adam. There's a lot discussed in this one including but not limited to; anime, video games, movies/tv, social distancing, Jesus eggs, and hermaphroditic rabbits. It's a real mixed bag.

S2 Ep23: Do you even quarantine, bro?
4/7/2020
It's all Devin, all the time. I'm sorry in advance. The show must go on! Maybe you're quarantined, maybe your self-isolating, maybe you are a hermit anyway. Regardless, I was curious about quarantining and the history behind it. That led me down a might Typhoid-y rabbit hole.

S2 Ep22: It's Corona Time
3/31/2020
Well, what else is there to talk about, really? It is the start to a brand new season which means...well, not a lot actually. But it is easier to catalog our stuff and it means that a new member joins the program as one goes away for a little bit. I'm particularly sad about that last part.

S1 Ep21: We're Playing The Hits
3/24/2020
It's the end of Season 1!!! Here's a look back at all of the best bits of what was our inaugural season. It was a marathon editing session, but we're sequestered inside, so what else is there to do? I really hope you all enjoy!

S1 Ep20: Internet Things?
3/18/2020
I'll be honest with you gals and guys, we recorded this episode a while ago and I did little to no editing. Primarily because we're about to drive for a few hours and wanted to listen to a new episode. That said, it's long. I will probably end up taking it down, condensing and re-uploading when I have time, but for now, here you go! This is also the penultimate episode in the season. But fear not! Season 2 begins recording March 19th!! Huzzah!

Duration:00:45:33
S1 Ep16: Humor?
9/4/2019
Oh, you got jokes? Well...we do. Some are old, like 2300 b.c. old and don't really hold up. Adam tells us about the different genres of humor and Torri wants to talk gender roles and humor. It's one of our funniest episodes yet. By default.
Duration:00:50:12
S1 Ep15: Violence and Video Games
8/21/2019
In this episode Torri and the boys talk about video games and their relationship to real world violence. Devin has his mind blown. Be sure to stick around to the very, very end for a little bit of bonus content that I didn't want to leave on the cutting room floor. Enjoy!

Would you wear a lace romper? How about a choker? Platform crocs? If you said yes (or no) to any of these then we have you covered! Adam and Devin are about as opposite as can be on the subject of fashion, good thing Torri is around to keep the peace.

S1 Ep10: Between a Bread and a Bread...place
5/4/2019
Do you like sandwiches? WHAT?! Just kidding, we do too, we're normal humans, after all. Did you know that the 4th Earl of Sandwich got that title at 10 years old? And, let's be honest, it's a weird title...that we wish we had.
