  1. 100

    Clap

    The entire Grownups Are Lucky content production team dug down deep to put together several minutes of wildly unnecessary verbage.

  2. 99

    Urinate

    We’re still at it. And we still have no idea what it is. But also it is you, listening, and then saying to yourself, “They are still at it, and I have no idea what it is.”

  3. 98

    Count

    Some people go places and then things happen to them and those things are bad for them, but not necessarily bad for their predators.

  4. 97

    Toss

    Oh man, maybe things are getting better, but are they not also getting worse? Mathematically speaking, really bad + fucking horrifying + inhuman - a few bad people perhaps temporarily = still very bad.

  5. 96

    Roll

    This is one of those cute stories where you think: Well, I guess that was cute, if you are into that sort of thing in a miniature story.

  6. 95

    Golf

    Some great feelings taste great together. Some don’t. Who’s thirsty?

  7. 94

    Kick

    The person to whom we have ceded all power is emotionally stunted and in steep mental decline.

  8. 93

    Storm

    We really don’t know if, how, or when our shit is going to hit the fan, so we should probably catch up on the back log of television programs and then maybe pick up some canned goods. Maybe also one of those new shit umbrellas.

  9. 92

    Impeach

    We decided to get generous and release a bonus episode that we think will be a lot of fun to play out loud while you play at home with your Congressional action figures.

  10. 91

    Lead

    Sometimes it’s not who you are but who you hope to be, and sometimes you hope to be that person by being with someone you hope will be like the exciting people you’ve seen in the movies. Here’s to hoping.

  11. 90

    Pray

    Awful stuff plus awful people plus your face equals can't miss entertainment.

  12. 89

    Squall

    Some conversations can take an entire life time to finish given all the digital screeches and reception blackouts.

  13. 88

    Nurse

    What if the attending nurse knows more about our loved one than we do?

  14. 87

    Poison

    When an awkward exchange at the dinner table leads to passive aggressive suicide, don’t assume love isn’t right around the corner.

  15. 86

    Rocket

    It is terrible when terrible things happen.

  16. 85

    Herd

    If we are running off a cliff, and there were a way to step back and watch us all run off a cliff, would you do so, or would you be the first to take the leap?

  17. 84

    Enslave

    The future is here, and don’t worry, if you can earn enough money, you will have a romantic partner for life, or at least until their warranty runs out.

  18. 83

    Market

    Do you giggle when people talk to you about people going poo poo and the subsequent cleanup rituals involved? Just curious.

  19. 82

    Manage

    Life is a long slog leading up to the enviable retirement where we hold our partners hand while listening to the soft sounds of landscaped idyll .

  20. 81

    Relax

    Being told to relax is not relaxing.

  21. 80

    Brake

    Traffic is a condition. Cars are not people. Roads are not for people. People run out of gas. People are not cars. Roads are not metaphors for life. Life is always eventually over.

  22. 79

    Tickle

    You never know which new buzzing current may or may not be responsible for your recent loss of eyelashes.

  23. 78

    Surf

    The television viewing couch is a place where things sometimes almost never happen.

  24. 77

    Knife

    If this podcast doesn’t cut your dinner preparation time in half we’ll give you your money back no questions asked.
