Show notes

Apologies for the audio on this one gang, we had a microphone cord fray over the course of recording and it sounds like we've got an open lightsaber on the table between us. This story, though, has a lot going on. We're reading "the Barber's Clever Wife," and she gets into some wild stuff.

Suggested talking points: the scientific method, a Sweeney Clod, Kingdom Hearts additions, as thicket as thieves, crimewatch, cherry corn rice, conga line of thieves, fire: the catchall pesticide, 8 servings of gold, GMOut the ass, the thicket women, spaghetti mustache trick, vegetable genders

Suggested talking points: strong arms rowin', scooping mad water, crocheting steel cables, off-brand Popeye, the worst Arby's slogan, yin and yang of the dank herb, poop freedom, horse flying methods, nut classification, moonwine, sentient 'tatoes, dead stick daughter, digging for buried lady, boat justifications, rush hour dunks
