Space Oddities: SpaceX

Space Oddities: SpaceX

Tom and Caroline talk quirky Musk. Not the fragrance, but the actual Elon Musk.  Caroline attacks Amazon and Jeff Bezos even though she is a constant shopper (because human interaction is scary) Tom talks about Nirvana. I burped super loud but edited it out. We share our predictions for SpaceX and we hope that his journey is an epic one.

Phobia Collection: Phasmophobia

Humberto and Caroline take a wild ride through various ghost stories. Someone get's possessed. Caroline nearly has a panic attack. The technical difficulties are surely a sign of paranormal activity and not just a bad Internet connection. This episode is not altered in anyway besides cutting out long pauses and off record conversation. There are no sound effects added. It's up to you to decide what is real and what is PARANORMAL. 


Thank you Humberto Moreno for co-hosting this episode.  https://www.facebook.com/RecalledProductions/

THIS EPISODE IS VERY GRAPHIC. LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. 

Rose Quacker and Caroline Walker talk literally about life, god, death, and family. All of these things stem from the vageeen. "Tell me all your thoughts on God, cuz I'd really like to meet her" and other womanly things etc. I love trees.

RGV based Comedian Sonia and Caroline get down and deep on this episode of NURD. Caroline sits on her leg too long. Sonia regrets not getting married, or does she? Caroline and Sonia make men hot by slingin' jokes. Caroline air claps like a seal. 

If you have any of these symptoms please confide in a friend and/or speak to a Doctor you trust.

NURD EXTRA!!! The Phobia Collection: Arachnophobia NSFW

In this episode, Caroline and Tom try to figure out why Spider-Man isn't scary (that's an easy one), which of these creepy crawlies are poisonous, and poke fun at the 1990 movie "Arachnophobia". Our special guest on the podcast is Sandra Barba who says she is more scared of little spiders than big ones. She also hasn't seen Harry Potter so please forgive her for her sins!
