Muriel (created and produced by Joe Barlow) is an award winning podcast. Everyone loves it and it turns out you don't need a "co-host". So Heavy Friending is done. Sorry. It sucked. Enjoy the continuing Muriel saga.

This episode is a long distance test for all of us right now, including this podcast. Joe starts running for president, Laura literally drank hand sanitizer, and we all are better for it. Thanks to JOE BARLOW for editing this episode. He's a handsome hero.

You’ve heard them drunk (twice), and now it’s time to hear what happens when they get stoned… too stoned. That’s right!

Joe agreed to pick up his brother, John, from the airport. But John had no idea he was stepping into a mobile podcast studio with Laura. Does John even listen to the show?
