Life Is Short(er): PorchFest, Hibachi Memories, and Giggle Fits 🧀

The guys catch up about Christian’s experience at PorchFest this year, the annual Connecticut tradition where bands set up stages on neighborhood porches (and how Christian didn’t move from his porch the whole time). Justin recounts the walk down memory lane he and Kate had after having Hibachi at the Sakura Japanese restaurant in Westport, CT. Then we read a letter from Kathy about how afternoon sex is the best and that noses contain erectile tissue (hence Justin’s broken capillary issue), then she ends it with the saddest WYR we’ve ever heard. Finally, Courtney leaves a voicemail asking for the guys to break down Office Space, and she offers up a much sillier WYR.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): Snowbird Goals, Shorties Unite, and Low-Key Waiting ⏱

The guys talk about Christian’s recent trip to Naples, Florida, where he spent time on a boat with his horse-energy neighbors and found himself face to face with a dolphin erection. Then we read a letter from a listener who randomly met another Shorty in the wild, and her Would You Rather asks if you’d rather be scary stoned at a funeral or puke drunk at a wedding? Finally, we hear a voicemail from a listener in South Florida who thinks she might have recognized Christian after hearing his voice in her tea shop (Yes, it was him).Listen ad free with Wondery+.
