  38. Episode 16: STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS(ES)

    This is what you get when what you've planned didn't pan out. Also, I feel like this podcast accurately portrays 95% of our personal conversations.

    Why didn't we record last week? We were arguing. Why were we arguing? This is what happens "WHEN PEOPLE STOP BEING POLITE AND START GETTING REAL." (Bonus if you know what that's from.
