Stinkers

Comedian and friend of the pod Claudio Saavedra calls in to talk with us about the time he got fast and loose on a Lime scooter in LA and clanked his bones so bad he got $20 in Lime credit out of it. No Maggie this week, but we make plenty of time to talk about the bleak statistics behind Caroline’s Balatro addiction and James’ toilet paper run gone wrong. And would you believe it? Someone left th...

We thought we’d take the opportunity to reflect this week, so we brought in comedian, writer, and Czar of Stink Nation, John Trowbridge , to give us some feedback on how we can take the podcast to the next level while Maggie’s off-mic dealing with a case of medical shyness. We also talk John’s failed attempts to connect to his younger friends, James’ realization that he cannot party like he used t...

And wow, lucky us, looks like someone has been keeping the water nice and warm so we could end this...

After an extremely short break, we're back like it's nobody's business. We chat about Caroline's loose eyes and teeth, James' ability to make the happiest place on Earth depressing, and Maggie's choices which led to this being the second time we tried recording this episode this week. And baby, you better believe that before we finish this episode off we go classic mode with a cold plunge in the r...
