On-Air Meltdowns, Al's Showers and Working Cats Jan 05, 2017

Show notes

Alison lost ten years at the end of last year. We're going to find out who knows the most about their self-professed area of expertise. Greg ate horrifying food in Japan. Jenna tried cupping and it was amazing although Alison's reaction to the story makes Daniel sure she's going to need drugs during childbirth. Alison doesn't appreciate Daniel's reaction. Daniel doesn't appreciate Alison's pregnancy farts. Al luxuriates in the shower. Jeff and Daniel disagree strongly about France's new "right to disconnect" laws. During a discussion of Mariah Carey and Casey Kasem's on-air meltdowns Alison recalls she may have had one too. Plus a round of Just Me Or Everyone and an adoptable cat named Butch Cassidy and an explanation of "working cats."

A Message from Greg, Alison's Vowels and a Baby Born in a Car Dec 08, 2016

Greg wants to say hi to everyone. Alison still can't hear the different between "Don" and "Dawn" but has some science in the form of something called the "cot-caught merger" as backup. Bees are dying inside figs, Alison just realized what "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" is truly about and special guest Andy Rosen (Totally Married, TBASH) watched his wife give birth in their Volvo.
