Where We Confirm That Ramona Is A Cautious Driver (And A Dubious Passenger) Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

Ramona obeys the speed limit. She is careful. She is cautious. These are all attributes. They fly in the face of Matt's wanton (and usually rushed and perhaps distracted) driving style.

But today she peels back another layer and reveals what kind of passenger she is.

Show notes

Ramona fulfills a lifelong dream of traveling to France and while she couldn't take her mom, Wheezy, who passed away two years ago, she could take her in spirit.

Matt's Wardrobe Inspo Is Winnie The Pooh Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

I assure you, you're not the only one with questions when you hear that Matt's fashion inspiration is a bear that doesn't wear pants. But he makes it make sense. Wait, that's a lie. It doesn't make sense.

It's borne from a conversation about the show's collective lack of comfort with their body image (and how harshly most of the show judges others.)

You can also hear how 3rd grade JD was an over eager beaver and I write that because he doesn't believe he was a teacher's pet. More of a teacher's enthusiast. There's probably no difference.

Sniffle Judging and Splitting Checks Sep 14, 2023

In Which We Learn That Any Errand JD Runs Will Take Several Steps And Cost Extra Dollars Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

Buckle up for the laughter because this one is... something.

It starts with JD being bamboozled by a bat at a Halloween store which turns into pranks are only for children which turns into what would you do if you saw a dead guy?

But the gold really gets struck when JD tries us to amaze us the revelation that you can no longer by a single stamp.

Which spoiler: you totally can.

It's just that he didn't buy a stamp. He wound up spending extra money and buying extra envelopes and well, it's best (and funniest) just to hear it from him.

How Old Is Too Old To Eat An Uncrustable? Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

It's an age old question, really.

On today's pod, Matt makes the case that uncrustables are good for all ages and he has the backing of The Wall Street Journal... The periodical did a deep(ish) dive on adults that enjoy the 90's lunchbox staple that was meant for kids.

Is there a cutoff age for children's snacks?

Stories About Sororities And Hang On, Hang On We Can't Stop Laughing Aug 31, 2023

Show notes

Ramona expresses disappointment in the things Matt doesn't tell her. Like he's going to be in the Matthews Alive prade. *And* that his USC daughter is pledging a sorority.

Yay for that!

Until. JD talks about the time he was in a fraternity and worked for a sorority. His description caused half of the studio about fell apart in side-splitting laughter and we're sure you will, too...

Ramona Has Name Amnesia Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

Which is the perfect time for a mash-up word: Name-nesia.

It's become more apparent as she nickname-bombs the unexpected. You see, Ramona is embracing her off air role as Community Affairs Manager for all of Radio One. And that means meeting a lot of new people. And remembering a lot of new names.

Hear how she's (mis)handling committing new names to memory.

Matt also point blank asks Ramona "what age do you have to be to be considered old?" to which she has a very specific answer and a very specific plan.
