295. Not That Kind of Story (With Rachel Bloom) Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

Romance, dystopian survival, horror, sports, historical drama... this one isn't about any of those things, despite elements that make it SEEM like it is, or should be. It does however have the hilarious and brilliant Rachel Bloom, who joins us for a tale of family, test results, science, and above all, hot rat milk.

We're back! We're Inside! We're into the thick of it! We're just some hot pirates, summoning the devil, smashing pills, and breaking it off before things get too weird in season 7.

289. Opening Credits Cast Lip Sync (with the FamBand) Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

This episode COULD have been called "Goo4Brains2: Two-ee Gooey Zany Brainys" but we DIDN'T call it that. Stop calling it that, it's not the episode name. Listen as we slowly burn away pathways in our brain that we'll never get back.

288. A Dream Deferred: Sorry Not Sorry - Part Two Disk Deux (with Vic Michaelis) Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

Yes, the title makes perfect sense and no, we won't explain it here. Our guest this week is the hilarious and wonderful Vic Michaelis, who joins us for story of extremely linear travel, star studded advertisements, whirlwind romances, politics, and eyelash wishes. Enjoy it when you're on tarmac waiting for a child to get soup, or really anywhere! We won't tell you how to live!

287. Small Horse, Superbowl, Sandstorm (w/ the Famband) Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

When Dana's away the band will play... without drums. But the rest of the gang is here to talk about ponies, memory, Superbowl commercials, the difference between wolves and roosters, and how someday the earth will be covered in sand. We're still between studios so no video yet, so just picture this one in the theater of YOUR MIND!
