Young Animals, a Band
Sunday Nov 09, 2025
Sunday Nov 09, 2025
I was kidding about everything I said in this episode. Me, my potential cohosts, and Young Animals want to make it clear that what was said in this recording is all fake and definitely not referring to anything real. Even if it seems like it lines up with real events, that's just a crazy coincidence.

272 - Jus Da Boyz - The Thought Collector
Tuesday Oct 07, 2025
Tuesday Oct 07, 2025
I've often wondered what will be my lasting mark on this world once I am dead and in the ground and worm food and dust. Will a song I have written continue to inspire? Perhaps a funny video I made will bring laughs for generations to come? But actually no, it's none of those. It's the creation of the Thought Collector. Soon to be as iconic as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Fourth of July American Flag - every child will know the Thought Collector.

261 - For the Sake of the Song, a Podcast
Thursday May 01, 2025
Thursday May 01, 2025
A podcast on a podcast? Ok, now THIS is crazy!
Beth hosts a show where a person teaches her how to make a Spotify playlist. Then I guess Agent J and Agent K show up and hit her with a neuralyzer because in two weeks someone else has to teach her how! HAHA! Honestly though, the Men in Black movies are all pretty good. People don't like the second one, and I don't like it as much, but it has its charms. Oh you know what though, I'm not even thinking of that reboot or remake or whatever. Is that in the same continuity? If Will Smith showed up at the end that would be cool. Maybe that funny pug is in it! Well, my point is, I'm not saying that one is good or not because I haven't seen it.

First of all, let me just say how important sleep is. If you haven't been getting enough, I feel really bad for you.
I also feel bad for Po Mia because oh boy I was absolutely zonked for this ep! Just tired as a very sleepy dog. But Po wasn't and Dylan and Courtney were great so I don't even think you'll notice.

258 - LYXE, a Band
Tuesday Feb 04, 2025
Tuesday Feb 04, 2025
People don't realize how much work goes into a podcast. The hours of scheduling and research, let alone the time to record! I hope you all appreciate the amount of effort I put it to every single episode, like this episode with LYXE. They are a group of three guys, so I think probably a band, from Somewhere in Kansas. Not Kansas City, but near there. Lawrence maybe? That sounds right. Anyway, really busted my hump for this one.
