Waking Up With Liz and Peter

It's 6:30 a.m. why do we do this to ourselves? Liz is up early for work, so we are recording early. The natural subject? Liz snoring. Next episode I am going to make her do a reenactment, Rescue-911 style, of her horrendous snoring. Seriously, sometimes I think she is going to die. But this episode made me realize that I need to assume positive intent at all times!

Liz was peeved that I didn't ask her what she thought during the last episode. In fact, she is so peeved she is watching me write this saying, "I wasn't peeved". Typical for both of us. This is a fun episode where Liz takes center stage in all of her glory.  With a spicy ending. Not really, but I need you to listen until the end or I won't feel whole.

Peter's on the wagon again! Kind of. A self-indulgent episode where your favorite couple talks about Peter's most recent experiments with sobriety, how they've impacted his mind, body, and spirit. Liz was very patient and did a great job listening to Peter gush.

Liz wants everyone to know she hates this episode because she sounds like a tired zombie. The first days back after vacation. Will our heroes survive? We'd like to thank our sponsors for this episode - Hinano Tahiti - Best Beer in French Polynesia. Make every time a Hinano Time(tm).

A lot of life happened since last season, but we were too excited by Bora Bora to talk about anything else in our return episode. So a quick bit of housekeeping. Liz graduated from graduate school and started in private practice!!!!! Go her!!! Can you guess who writes the episode descriptions!? If you want to know generally what we've been up to, give this one a listen.

We took a couple years off. Who doesn't? Your favorite couple is back having coffee and talking about life. Only their close friends and family will probably care. Seriously, we're just normal people. Our friends think we're funny.

Liz and Peter start this episode by recounting memories from their childhood surrounding their favorite foods and food traditions. The conversation eventually turns to the class implications of food and the sad reality capitalism leads us to.
