This week, we start the show off with a special happy birthday.

Then in Letter 1, a Paller describes having his life saved by his friends and we discuss live-saving situations we've been in.

RE: Fetishes & An Affair - Live from Tuxas! Mar 06, 2019

Show notes

Dear Pennies and Pallers,

It happened. We went to Galveston, Texas to attend the Local Billionaire's ball. Usher may have even talked to Daniel. We were Junior Grand Marshals in the Mardi Gras Parade. And we performed our first-ever live show! This is the recording of that historic event.

In Letter 1, we talk all about fetishes -- what they are, where they come from, and more.

Letter 2 brings us the twisty-turny tale of a man who has found himself in a sticky romantic plight of his own making.

Then some listeners read us postcards they brought, on topics such as best birthdays, chair-replacement policy, and more!

The Weekend of Tuxas was a blast, and we'll be doing more live shows soon -- so keep posted!

Sincerely,

Your Pen Pals Daniel & Rory

RE: The Pigeon Mystery & The Loss of a Coworker Feb 27, 2019

Show notes

Dear Pennies and Pallers,

The first letter we read this week recounts a mystery involving dead pigeons, and we try to get to the bottom of it.

Then we open a package from a crafty Paller who made some amazing sashes for the parade!

In the second letter, a Paller tells us about her coworker who recently committed suicide and what a shock it was. Dan and Rory open up about their friend and fellow comedian who also was recently lost to suicide, Brody Stevens.

The National Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1-800- 273-8255. There are always people who care about you.
