Wendy’s Bird Show, New Studio, Prankaroo

By Alison Rosen on June 5, 2019 in podcast

First show in the new studio! Wendy Molyneux is back to tell us about her surprise pregnancy, what she’d do if she could lucid dream and a joke that went awry. It’s Jeff’s penultimate show and David is sad. Alison’s calls out Greg Fitzsimmons and Daniel has painted the grass. Tastefully, though. Plus an attempt at Just Me Or Everyone!

Gorilla Breakfasts, Humiliating Job Duties, Some Show News

By Alison Rosen on May 29, 2019 in podcast

Alison took Elliot to the zoo and saw something she can’t unsee. But doesn’t want to! Daniel’s Fro-yo Fridays (so-named by this week’s guest Tony Thaxton) involve a humiliating job duty. Renee is an “extreme extrovert” whose depression lifted when she got a full time job. I don’t care for any of that. And Tony Thaxton is here! And we have some show news. Plus more anonymous JMOEs and a question about bread notches.

Jeff’s Non Punk Rock Jobs, Getting Older, SSRIs

By Alison Rosen on May 23, 2019 in podcast

This show marks the return of our signature segment (note: not our signature segment) and an update on who won the Saskatoon berry by saying Saskatchewan most authentically. I had a birthday so age is on my mind. Also, I forgot to take a pill and felt like a bean bag. Why is that? Turns out Jeff knows and his info is courtesy of a very non-punk rock job he once had but not as non-punk rock as another job he had cleaning up poop at an animal research lab. And so much more!

Canada Calls In, Alison Is Wrong, Daniel Comes Undone

By Alison Rosen on May 15, 2019 in podcast

Daniel’s mix of energy drinks and fatigue finally catches up with him… during the recording of this episode. Alison turns her laser like interviewing skills first on Eric and then on Renee. And we hear from a number of Canadians via voicemail that we’ve been pronouncing Saskatchewan incorrectly. After being schooled, who among us says it the most authentically? Plus the proper way to use a spoon, the days it’s okay to let loose and so much more including more of your racy, anonymous Just Me Or Everyones.
