Show notes

David Huntsberger has some big personal news to share but he was the victim of a robbery earlier in the day which is at the forefront of his mind. Wendy Molyneux is here and she's still enjoying her minimal home decor. In fact, she might want to bring it with her to the afterlife. I'm still talking about cardistry which is a word Wendy hates. Also, she would like to purchase Dave and Tony's dogs and knows nothing about going rates.

Tim Kalpakis's Standing Desk, Jackie Johnson's Probiotics, Tony's Happy Face Aug 06, 2020

Show notes

First-time guest Tim Kalpakis (Birthday Boys, The Sloppy Boys) joins us from his standing desk and he's into creepy stuff but in a lovable way. Plus his band has a new album out! Jackie Johnson is here and she's pro probiotic. Tony is still happy and we're not about it to let it go unnoticed. Also Tony and Jackie are both friends with Tim so we do a spontaneous test to see who knows him better. I'm wondering if as podcasters and creators we should be thinking of the new people or the regulars and also, isn't Tim getting tired of standing? Plus Yes Please or Oh Puhleeze (black licorice) and Just Me Or Everyone and some hot Claremont Colleges consortium talk. Plus Uranus!
