Episode #217 - Hannah's Love Boat Adventure

11/15/2023
I'm not sure if this is even a new episode or not. I don't have notes for it. Our listener Canadian Neil decided to hit us with the "Can't wait for season 2" so we decided to clap back with this!

Episode #215 - Dead Birds & the Terrible Pee

9/20/2023
Marty has a dead bird in a vent or does he? Who knows? Surely not Marty. Tom’s puppy, Rory, is scared to pee outside. Andrew is moving, so the gang finger points editing responsibilities. No one wins. Edited by Martin (nice!)

Episode #214 - An Adventure Awaits

8/14/2023
An adventure awaits! Our first part of our DND adventure is here, thanks to Michelle our editor this time around. She was entirely timely, Andrew was not. This is the our first step into DnD as a podcast, it won't be the last time! As you have noticed, things have gone off the rails in terms of releases. Irreconcilable differences between life and podcast has thrown a wrench into the soup. In good time though, we will be back more regularly, and without a doubt better.

Episode #206 - Sensitive Nails

4/26/2023
As the official notetaker of this here podcast, I failed. On the other hand, I watched some pretty good hockey. Apparently my listening skills are also lacking. We can find a way to blame Marty though.

Episode #205 - Frisbee Isn't Fun

4/19/2023
Marty thinks Andrew is a better source of D&D info than the internet. He is also really bad at top 5's. Overall just a rough one for him.

Episode#204 - Elderly Hobbies: Lubed Balloons

4/12/2023
This one kind of felt like we were in a rain delay and came out flat, popped if you will, to start off with. We really greased the rails though and got going. How could this not be sponsored?!

Episode #203 - DND 101: Catnips

Episode #202 - Prison Neil

3/29/2023
We talked about pants, we talked about plans! Marty wears tight jeans to be more professional. There is a brief venture into the world of garbage can warfare. All good things. Remember what Neil says, "What we lack in quality we make up in quantity!".

Episode #201 - Roll Three, Add One

3/22/2023
This podcast is a bit like a fungus, give it time and don't bathe and it will grow on you. Or more literally, the longer we record the bigger the podcast gets. There is a slight amount of planning in this one, so be warned.

3/8/2023
The book club finally happened! Don't worry, we promise the next one will be better. If we have said that before then please know we meant the next one and not this one. This is a good opportunity to remind everyone that washing your hands is important, as is social awareness.

Episode #198 - Erosion from Below

3/1/2023
This episode was going to be called Soggy Concrete, looking back a few episodes though I realized it's basically the same title. So this is what you get. I see this trend continuing in a negative direction. We can only blame ourselves. Also, for I want this to be exhibit A into Neil's effort. If you notice his audio does get BETTER once he thinks we are actually going. I am going to take it as a win.

Episode #196 - Cake Pops & Concrete

2/15/2023
Book club is still on, just don't ask Tom or Neil. Hannah is ready for another vacation, probably. Marty makes a late arrival, that's all we learn. We never got to what Andrew was doing for Valentines day, so we'll fill you in. He was editing this podcast due to the superior planning abilities and efforts of this ensemble. Oh, also dragons AND dungeons.
