Jesus Is A Real Pill

Everyone take cover cause mud is being thrown all over this podcast. I don't give a sh&t if you are my best friend. If you don't vote for my guy, this relationship is over! We're four months away from the Presidential Election and POLITICS makes a room intense, upset and irate worse than me clipping my toenails on a crowed subway. I'm not saying that actually happened...but...you get the gist.

Their Droppings Are Monumental

I need a VACATION from this quarantine vacation. Time to pack the suitcases. Go visit friends and do laundry at their house. We’ll probably leave the dogs with them too. I mean, they're little. How hard is it to take care of them? Now, how many Hawaiian shirts should I pack?

Jesus Hates Figs

I'm going to be honest about my HAIR. It's not a wig, like most people think. The Friar Tuck bald patch and the receding forehead really belong to me. I don't understand why you people don't believe me. No, Erin and Patrick, I don't want a wig hat. But, I'll admit. They're pretty stylish.

The King & Thai

Listen, I know we've known each other for a while now, but for God's sake will you please close the door to the can while you're taking a dump? I don't care how many years we've been celebrating our WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. Some things just aren't meant to be seen by others. That...and a naked Lena Dunham. These are things I choose not to see. Enjoy the show.

YEAR POD,

IT'S DEAR POD'S FIRST ANNIVERSARY!!! Pour yourself a tall one, cause we've been drinking all week! Let's take a look back and celebrate the insanity of the little podcast that could. From rival sisters in the advice column business, podcast hosts who only seem to travel to Amish Country, people who actually took the time to take pen to paper-write down their problems-stick it in an envelope and mail it to a high wigged and cheek-boned stranger, to a weekly Specialty Cocktail designed to make you...

Naked. Father. Wandering.

I turns out I discovered the cure to pre-mature balding while I was dreaming the other night. Unfortunately, I was talking in my SLEEP and no one could understand what the hell I was mumbling about. Try not to take anything too literally today as we "express" ourselves during this weeks episode.
