Coming Down

Will fears the worst after a sketchy hookup and seeks medical attention at the nearest facility. This turns out to be his place of employment—a teaching hospital. What follows is some painful and humiliating medical manhandling. Bonus stories include cliff diving, teaching moments with Grandpa, and Ren Faire at Reed College, interspersed with a few vignettes from Nathan and Matthew.

Matthew gets time-travel wasted with Rainbows and drunkenly stumbles into the annals of hairdresser history as the first male model for the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology licensing examination. Sometimes all it takes is showing up in the right place at the right time with valid ID and long hair.

This week our guest's real name is Jon. We promise. He gets so wasted a girl picks him up and takes him home. Seriously. Then Nathan rifles through a woman's purse. For her own good. Matthew does nothing but offer incredibly good advice. Basically par for the course.

Matthew takes a dance with the devil's dandruff and a night of carefree fun turns into a bender that probably should have killed him. He fails all his Wisdom checks but rolls natural 20s for Constitution.

Our second guest episode! This week, we welcome a dear friend to the pod. He is a former bartender who is now inspiring the next generation as a high school teacher. The goal was for him to tell crazy bartending stories, and he does, but we definitely go off the rails here. This truly is just us cracking beers with buds and telling stories.

When Dad comes home exhibiting Wrath of Khan symptoms, Nathan must steel his nerves and face a terrible test of determination and dexterity. Bonus stories involve other horrifying encounters with diabolical bugs.

Due to the kindness and generosity of one saintly administrator, Matthew manages to land a part as an extra on a TV show filmed in Bend featuring Jennifer Love Hewitt. This leads to a star-crossed moment that Matthew will never forget.

It's week 2 of our Halloween Spooktacular! This episode, Nathan panics while witnessing an impromptu Pagan ritual.

This week, we welcome our first guest, Shelby, to the show. She gives a brief and terrifying history of White City, Oregon, which leads into a creepy tale from her childhood. We're calling this our first Halloween Spooktacular! 🦇🎃👻

Nathan's raver metamorphosis resembles time-lapse photography at ludicrous speed. He goes from candy kid to jaded raver in three weeks. We discuss various cultural phenomena and eventually go way off the rails.

Matthew lights a fire while taking a poop and it leads to a run-in with the Dean and the campus cop. Up against the wall with nowhere to run, he risks it all on one final gambit.

While on tour with his band, Nathan discovers hillbilly Hobbits, and inadvertently ends up playing the punk rock score for a bar brawl. Bonus close call story.

Wherein Nathan gives a brief history of the project, we discuss our mission and personal goals, and finish up with a bit of general housekeeping.
