Life Is Short(er): Caroling Fail, Podcast Dreams, and Thespian Humor🦶

The guys reminisce about their favorite Christmastime memories, and Christian laments how his memories of caroling at the local library just isn’t the same as it used to be.

Finally, a 25-year-old listener named Alba calls in to say she’s able to relate to us despite her younger age, and she says her husband doesn’t find the show as funny as she does (maybe because of all the nerdy thespian humor).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Life is Short(er): Elmer’s Glue, Woodchuck Woes, and Proudest Moments 🦍

The guys have a mutual nostalgic experience with Elmer’s Glue and they both indulge in the simple pleasure of peeling dry glue off of their hands like they did as kids. Meanwhile, Justin is still struggling with woodchucks ravaging his garden. An Aussie listener named Kieran writes in with a very flattering letter about how the show is better than Smartless (sorry, Bateman), and they include couple Would You Rathers for the guys to ponder. Finally, Andrea calls in with the great news that the show inspired her to make her own podcast and she landed her first job in the industry out of it!
