What's with all this CREATIVITY happening at home during the pandemic?! Let's talk about it and about how much we miss driving around without GPS. We also get into some friendly Mars-Venus chat before disclosing our extra-super-secret about the most famous museum in the world. Join us!
#23 - A Tale of Two Businesses
Good and bad business. We've all dealt with it, but in a world where a pandemic still exists, there are ways to do it--and ways NOT to do it. #staysafe
#22 - The Importance of Being Silly
Sometimes it's necessary to let go and have fun. On this episode we talk about the importance of letting go, laughing and just being silly. We talk about our new favorite bad movie, Skatetown USA, and Highlights Magazine to name a few. We hope you join us for a good laugh and some silly talk.
#21 - Ain't No Stoppin Us Now
C & P riff about current events, life, surviving pandemic and more importantly surviving each other.
#20 - A Frank Discussion About Race
Building on the last episode, we continue our discussion on current events and being black. What's it like to be in the 10 percentile in a mostly-white working environment? What is giving us hope, and what is making us nervous? What does "privilege" mean to a black person? Let's talk it out, or at least get the conversation started.
#19 - What's Going On?
Taped after the Chauvis arrest but before the national protests over the weekend, we finally get political on our podcast. What is an African American feeling right now in America? What does it feel like to watch people die? What does it feel like to be an interracial couple? Real talk, people and #blacklivesmatter--for real.
#18 - CP Time with Sharon Eberson
Our first guest on the show! Join us on our front lawn during a socially distant visit with journalist Sharon Eberson of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. We had a wonderful time talking about her amazing history as a journalist, our love of theatre, and she even shared an incredible Comic-Con story that has to be heard to be believed! We had a blast making this one. Enjoy!

#13 - Surviving Quarantine a.k.a. "The Tipsy One"
For our lucky 13th episode, we decided, with our special guest Prosecco, to talk about what's keeping us going during this extended time at home. So, raise a glass to #goals, online connections, and the 5th Dimension. There may be some singing on this one...

We're back to more engaging topics on the 'cast, including gaming, chores, and the BBC's lasting contribution to the world. Join us for some funny conversation (again)!
#11b - Lawsuits & Swingers & Bears - OH MY!
How much worse can Tiger King get? Apparently, a lot worse. Carol flexes her legal muscle, Joe (probably) sets his own fire, and swingers swoop in to make a bad situation worse. As if you needed another reason to wash your hands like a crazy person.
#11a - Of Course Carol Did It
In our ongoing Tiger King pause-and-comment series, we tackle episode #3 and the alleged Carol Baskin crime of passion. This is getting juicy, and the songs are getting worse.
#11 - TIGER KING
O..M..G.. We finally started watching the Official TV Show of the 2020 Quarantine on Netflix and were so blown away that we decided to do a play-by-play, pause-and-comment podcast for Episode #2. So sit down with all your wives, grab some expired bologna from Walmart and join us. You can't stop watching if you tried.
#10 - How We Almost Got Stuck in Belgium (and Wonder Woman Saved Us)
Thinking of the thousands of American travelers trying desperately to get home right now harkens back to an "adventure" we got to have a few years ago--a time when we almost didn't make our flight home from Europe. You know all those "worst case scenarios" you imagine happening on the way home from a trip? Yeah...they all happened at once to us.
#9 - Tea Cakes, Our Cats and Why We Love Them So Much
In a quite emotional episode, we talk about our fur babies through the years--what we love about them, how much they mean to us, our two cats now, and our babies that have crossed the rainbow bridge. Grab some Kleenex.
#8 - ROCK OF AGES
The story of my indoctrination into an 80's Hair band, and how it was the greatest gig of my life.
**sorry about the 'hiss' - we couldn't figure out how to get rid of it! Enjoy!
#7 - On The Road
We're all getting a little cabin fever, so we decided to take our show on the road and do a (micro) podcast while taking a beautiful afternoon drive today. Join us for a virtual trip past the (now abandoned) airport and worst Rick Seback impression you'll ever hear!
