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.

Last time you went to a mall? Listen, the dream of the 90s is alive in malls, people. Did your mom ever drop you off in front of the entrance to Barnes and Noble and say, "Meet me back here at 4:00. If you're not here, I'm leaving!" ? Did you ever sneak a peek at Fredricks of Hollywood and then feel instant shame? How much, in your entire life, hav…

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 radio (always incorporating that foreign lang) and t…

1y ago52:27

52:27

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 cotton candy. We tried our hand at intros and outros an…

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.
