    more
  22. Episode 14: Too much milk in the Mac n cheese, WWF, Stunnerrrr, and unfinished crafts

    Got your earbuds in? You might need them because we recorded at Ruthie's house this week. 2 dogs, a couple cats, children who don't understand "be quiet we are changing the world with El Corner Booth" and floors that creak if you look at them wrong...that makes for less than ideal sound. YOU GUYS...

  24. Episode 12: Malls, cinnamon rolls and checkbooks

    Last time you went to a mall? Listen, the dream of the 90s is alive in malls, people.

  27. The Movie One w/ Special Guest Ali (long)

    One of our favorite humans came to join Chad in some movie deep dives from each decade. We go pretty long but have a great time!

  28. Episode 8: But why and how and what for?!

    But seriously, how the fuck does AI work? What really is the "stock market?" Gluten??? Never heard of it. Fake news. In this episode we just say what everyone is thinking and ask the big questions. So, like, does dry cleaning not use any water at all? Is flour made from wheat? Do financial…

  29. Episode 7: Lil for president - dissecting Coyote Ugly

    Welp, Chad got his wish and Ruthie watched Coyote Ugly to refresh her memory. BOY DID SHE REFRESH HER MEMORY. We don't just skim over the boring parts because there are no boring parts. And listen: we've got John Goodman, Piper Perabo (who is she anyway?), TYRA BANKS, some hot Australian dude and...

  30. Episode 6: Highschool in the 2000's, good grades, bad grades, and how we could slam 2 JBCs a day and suffer no consequences

    Ruthie got her way. In this episode Chad and Ruthie talk about their high school experiences. Ruthie in Idaho, Chad in Portland. Cars, school lunch, grades, and after school activities.

  31. Episode 5: Special Guest, Chinese Cuisine and Baddies All Day Long

    We've made it. We are at the point in our journey where people are asking to be involved. Nevermind it's Ruthie's child. Nevermind she needed something to do on Spring Break. What matters is she's here. We chat while eating orange chicken and chow mein. We discuss icks, TV (no shit, Einstein), el...

  32. Work History: A glimmer into why we are the way we are

    In this eppy we discuss our past jobs - when they were (some of us excavated at the age of 9), what we wore (swimsuits), who our bosses were (sometimes our dads), our pay (very little) and our job duties. Just laying a foundation for who we are and how far we've come...or not.

  33. Episode 3: Disneyland, Vegas, children on leashes and foie gras cotton candy

    In this episode, Ruthie takes up 75% of the time with stories and ponderings of Disneyland. Why is Disney so weird and the people there so awful? What even are Hokas and Genie + is an absolutely rip-off but a necessary one. Chad went to Vegas, sold some rebar, wore a lanyard, and ate foie gras...

  34. Episode 2: when things are only slightly better, but better is better

    We are the type of people who know when things aren't perfect. Episode two is better than episode one but isn't as good as episode three is gonna be. We talk about Best, Worst, Weirdest and then skedaddle on over to home decor and geese in bonnets (how do you even spell that)? Stick with us.

  35. Episode One is Always the Worst

    It may have taken 90 minutes to figure out the microphone situation and another 20 to figure out how to actually record, but episode one is out. Is it great? No. It is groundbreaking? Nowhere near. Will it make you chuckle? Yes? GIVE US TIME. We are gonna knock your socks off with things that...
