Episode 15: Days of Oscar

Mix talk about Hollywood glamour with NASCAR?
Mission: Unimpossible.
Helen Hunt wears an H&M dress with $700,000 worth of jewelry.
It's all about balance.
Oscar predictions are made before the ceremony, and then reviewed after.  Listen to find out if Sam loses a huge bet to Gina.  (Hint: she does.  And Leah Lee Riley will debut as the third host in 9 months).

How the hell does Sam manage to weave this into revisiting her conflicted feelings towards Danica Patrick (summed up here and here), and then a discussion of a huge NASCAR accident?  She's a pro at amateur podcasting, that's how!

Episode 14: Sailor's Delight

John Lyons. Or...
...Ricky Nelson?
How many languages can you sing Happy Birthday in?
Resident husband/father/coffee maker John Lyons spends his birthday in front of a microphone for the first time ever to discuss various aspects of his life.  Topics include losing his mother at the age of 8 to a drunk driver, time spent in the Navy traveling the world, moving to San Francisco in the 1960's despite not being a hippie, and missing out on the moon landing because the Matterhorn was more interesting.  A lot of memories for a man with Alzheimer's!

(PS Thanks for waiting 24 hours.  Better than 3 weeks, right!?  Also, thanks for sitting through us looking up YouTube videos.)

...but don't actually shoot the carrier pigeon.

We're Big in Japan

But not quite as big as we are in Uganda.

Looking at the statistics of our downloads we were surprised to find how diverse our audience is.  If these are accurate, sorry world. Please note that the opinions expressed on our podcast do not necessarily reflect those of...well...basically anyone else.

Hit us up, we want to hear from you!

Episode 13: Super Lucky 13!

By far Sam's favorite moment of the Super Bowl.
Touchdown San Fran Descher!
Gina does what she does every year and watches the Super Bowl so she can talk into a microphone about the ads, and plays favorites.

Alicia Keyes and Beyonce weren't exactly her favorites, but Destiny's Child was Sam's.  Along with a little girl doing her best Carol Burnett impersonation.  And yet again Susan Sarandon (unrelated to the Super Bowl).

Later, Sam feels like she got screwed over by a pharmacy, but tries to defend drug companies. Gina helps her see the light and now she's bitter.  Stay tuned for upcoming shows to see just how bitter she may become if she is forced to go without mood stabilizers!
