Dave's Noise Complaint, Wendy's Split Banana, Alison's Slinky Work

E

Wendy Molyneux and David Huntsberger are back to witness a visual endeavor that I find very, very artistic and profound but which they refuse to be moved by. Dave is a trifle upset about his image having been released acrost the internet and Wendy is taken aback when I threaten to reveal her college email password. Plus what it means when someone buys ten bananas, ice cream trucks, being held up at cleaver point, Derek del Guadio, Yes Please Or Oh Puhleeze, trading places and more.

Alison's Petty, Cranky, Wordy Mood and Your Calls! (Plus a look back!)

E

This episode was supposed to include Daniel AND an installment of Daniel's Kewl Beanz but things went sideways so instead you're just getting me and my cranky mood plus some wonderfully honest listener calls. It's a high pressure situation! I am still ruminating over this nanny situation and also I think I had a breakthrough regarding the recurring dream discussed last week. Daniel and I are both overly affected by the moods of everyone around us and I'm still processing this year. I bet you are too. I take a look back at the craziness that was 2020 and give a little glimpse of some guests coming up in 2021. Thank you all for being a bright spot this year!
