On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie wonders just how many renaissance faires Keith David performed at early in his career, Doug allows his preferred method of 'intimate murder' slip, and we both wonder just how much hot cocoa Nauls has to make regularly. Grab your old-time prospector's hat, plus in that Commodore 64 to play your dog/alien DNA game, and join us as we revisit Carpenter after being underwhelmed by both They Live! and Escape from New York with The Thing!The Thing is a 1982 film directed by John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, Keith David, Richard Masur, T.K.

Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations. Explicit
