TLC

this ep we discussed the scam of capitalist corporate america's 40-hr work week, maslow's hierarchy of needs, the masterpiece film 'nomadland', platonic marriages, what we each need to be happy, charles' failure to inherit the family business, retirement goals, and the vital differences between boils, warts, and pimples (spoiler alert this is discussed first so fast forward if you're not interested lol). 

back from our 1 month hiatus with return special guest natalie, listen to us discuss everything from how marie's been sleeping without a mattress for weeks, charles' childhood friend named "happy hour", how many blimps there are in the world (spoiler alert: less than you think!), the cinnamon toast crunch shrimp debacle, ratatouille & chill, the queen's cousin-husband, the ease of hunting clams, whether doves and pigeons (aka sky rats) are secretely the same bird, stick n poke tattoos, natalie's hinge dates, naomi's short film, charles' new job, & last but not least - taxes. 

this episode we discussed (in detail) the criminally underrated polish nintendo switch game 'astro bears', and not much else, with this month's special guest brice ! 

welcome to our first in-person episode in over a year (!!) recorded in marie's first solo apartment, after reuniting for a tiny new year's vacation - featuring marie's gf teresa, who we all now love very much. listen to us discuss everything from the immorality of sea monkeys, our nye resolutions, 2020 highs/lows, hydroponics, our infamous airbnb host chad, the game astro-bears, the hidden dangers of indiannapolis, and naomi's review of princess mononoke, all while teresa sketches our new poster in real-time.

happy 2021

enjoy this late thxgiving episode where we discussed a NASA-funded experiment that led to a dolphin and a human falling in love, the monster energy drink satanism conspiracy, demi lovato's turkey scandal, illegal baby names across the world, how much incest is too much incest, and how to be a good houseplant parent. 

happy halloween + enjoy this spooky episode (ft. return special guest natalie) where we discussed everything from the plot of the movie franchise 'saw', to our costumes this year, to the importance of cybersecurity (with naomi's spotify getting hacked), to what the wholesome version of onlyfans would be. here's hoping the us doesn't devolve into fascism after this week's election

welcome to our 1 year anniversary episode (ft. return special guest natalie)! we discuss the cubic rule of food identification (is everything just a ravioli?), if paul mccartney's 'wonderful christmastime' is secretely about witchcraft, how moses was probably just high on dmt, the evergreen game of egyptian ratscrew, and also meet both of charles' parents !

(tw: suicide) this week we had return special guest, 20-yr-old alaskan brice willbanks, give us the scoop on a true-crime mystery (the disappearance of bryce laspisa), and also discussed the invention of bread, the human breast milk industrial complex, pink lemonade's origin story, voicemail etiquette, dark dining, and the tragedy that is google play music shutting down forever. 

enjoy this episode after our short june hiatus, featuring a full 10 minute segment on how to make chicken stock from charles + a good old fashioned chat about at what age life becomes complicated, strava as a superior form of social media, the universal childrens' game of pretending one is an orphan master, acacia trees being the common denominator raw material between animal sims & minecraft, our opinions on home-ownership, and what each of our plans would be in case of a zombie apocalypse.

this week we had a very special guest, our friend and #1 listener Billy (a geology student from Meltham, England)! we discussed at length his gypsy heritage (and how the "Big Fat Gypsy Weddings" series disproportionately represented land gypsies over water gypsies), the wild dreams Charles and Billy have both had about Joe Rogan, our favorite characters from Tiger King, and each of our best examples of onomatopoeia.  ~recorded remotely from dallas TX, indianapolis IN,  buffalo NY, & wellington NZ~

this week two of our best pals from New Zealand, Rebecca (from the UK), and Xander (a fellow Texan from San Antonio) joined us live and in the flesh, skyping from Austin with Naomi for a very special Valentine's Day edition of the podcast. enjoy listening to us discuss charles' breakup text to his business colleague, go into detail with all of our (drastically different) experiences using dating apps, catch up on life, and argue as per usual about the correct pronunciation of the word 'oregano'. lots of love from the bucko trio + our v special nz pals

~recorded remotely from Austin TX, Indianapolis IN, & Buffalo NY~

enjoy this messy episode where we discussed each of our apology languages, enneagram personality types, charles' big business pitch coming up, weird things the kids in Marie's class have said to her, and went into obnoxious detail about our SAT and ACT results.

~ recorded remotely from Austin TX, Indiannapolis IN, & Buffalo NY ~

not the highest quality skype recording, and we've completely abandoned any sort of structure related in any way to conspiracy theories or the musical genius band TLC, but enjoy an hour of our recorded chit-chat, talking about everything from charles' tinder profile photos to naomi's plans to join the peace corps to marie having a romantic crisis in real-time, to charles and marie's life advice as elderly 22-year-olds to naomi, a wee 20-year-old ;-) stay cool buckos
