It doesn't really have anything to do with the episode, but it's what we're going to roll with - Nick What we did talk about was a wide variety of topics, and on this episode it was Nick, not Bridget, that was unable to choose from multiple stories, so you'll get a lot of Nick thoughts this episode. Most importantly, if you didn't watch the ...

It's a weird week as we close in on the anniversary of realizing corona virus was a serious thing and would start changing our lives forever.

Bridget has had quite the week with illness in her house and it's a fitting topic of conversation for how we generally feel this week! Don't despair, we opened some Irish beer (made by Guinness, but not Guinness Draught) a...

We're giving this episode a Dad joke title because it is coming out a little later on Sunday than we normally release episodes and it's about chocolate!
