#4 - Mary Wilcher Mar 01, 2017

Show notes

Today's episode includes a sit down with our good friend Mary Wilcher.

Mary Wilcher is the VP of Production and Development at Figure 8 Films in Carrboro, NC where she lives with her wife and 2 kids. Having grown up in West Virginia and ultimately settling in North Carolina after stints in Los Angeles and Atlanta, Mary shares her experiences of sharing a marriage and family with another woman in the South. We discuss coming out of the closet, the difference between southern cities vs. rural areas, and how draconian parental rights laws affected her family directly. A moment that should have been sacred to her family became a reminder of how backwards things are. It is a story that sincerely and deeply affected all three of us. We hope you like it.

Also we discuss how reality TV changed the game, drugs, and the Kings of Leon selling out.

#3- The Road To Charleston (and Chicken) Feb 22, 2017

Show notes

This past week, The wellRED Comedy Tour took us from Athens, Ga to Charleston, South Carolina by way of Jacksonville, Florida.

This episode was recorded in the car on our way from Jacksonville to Charleston and while we agonized over how shitty a 5 hour car ride is when you are hungover, we managed to discuss Donald Trump, Jeff Sessions, Simulation Theories, and of course... fried chicken.

#1 - Origins Feb 08, 2017

Show notes

Just like a super hero flick, if you wanna see Spider-Man whoop the shit out of the Goblin, you gotta watch him get his ass bit by that Spider first.

Recorded right after the election, this episode covers our thoughts on that, and also gives you a little background into where we came from and why we are the way we are.
