Season 6 Episode #88 2023 Wrap Up

This year like so many others gave us twists and turns, and surprise unknowns. We had fun in WeHo photo bombing Rhianna, we soaked in the Getty and took in a show at the Bowl. The Pumpkins were smashing, the Gulls set the tone, but the prize-winning ponies eluded us. Listen in as we wrap up and get a little crazy…

We’re still here in this wicked little town, thinking about supple gourds, languishing in the doldrums, and dreaming of shave ice. So “if you've got no other choice//You know you can follow my voice…” thank you Hedwig for being an inspiration, even after all these years!

We are wrapping up the COVID-19 mixtape playlist with Your Arms Around Me. This song is like a soft down pillow in a nice warm bed, and after 19 weeks of global pandemic exhaustion, we are laying down the last hot track and dreaming of rainbows, frolics, and romance. 

Jul 21, 202001:01:56
Season 3 Episode #59 Palo Alto

Season 3 Episode #59 Palo Alto

Having just returned from the breezy shores of San Diego these babes have a vacation hangover, don’t worry, nothing a little wine won't fix. Babe narrowly escaped a Minecraft induced coma, we found Shangri la at a park, and tacos taste better at the paraglider port. Anyway, we’re ok, how are you?

Jul 14, 202001:02:00
Season 3 Episode #58 Comfort Eagle

Season 3 Episode #58 Comfort Eagle

We are building a religion… of comfort, or so it seems. As the reopening of America goes sideways, we prepare for another lockdown while others get ready to party. Who’s playing who, and when can we get a kidney-shaped pool with a poodle? Cake is Number 17 on the COVID-19 mixtape playlist. Get ready to call yourself DUDE!
Jul 07, 202001:05:20
Season 3 Episode #57 NUMB

Season 3 Episode #57 NUMB

This week we are splitting the screen, splitting hairs, and feeling a little like white bread suburbanite breeders. Babe admits to slinking off to the depths of the basement office building and letting sadness prevail when thoughts of the past and the future collide. Needless to say NUMB sums up the vibe, and we are adding this dope-ass track by U2 to the COVID-19 mixtape playlist.
Jun 30, 202001:00:52
Season 3 Episode #56 Time To Move On

Season 3 Episode #56 Time To Move On

We’re getting that stagnation feeling, where our brains feel like mush and all we know has expired. We’ve reached week 15 of the COVID-19 disruption and the nauseous adrenaline is wearing us out. What lies ahead, we have no way of knowing, but under our feel baby, grass is growing…. thank the maker for Tom Petty.
Jun 23, 202001:08:20
Season 3 Episode #55 It Takes Time To Build

Season 3 Episode #55 It Takes Time To Build

It’s been a tense couple of weeks to say the least. In the midst of protests, riots, and domestic political warfare, we celebrated 21 years of marriage with an 8th grade graduation, a steak, and a Beetlejuice rewatch. Like marriage, relationships, trust, and progress: “It takes a second to wreck it/ It takes time to build” The Beastie Boys make track #14 on the Covid-19 mixtape.
Jun 16, 202001:01:51
Season 3 Episode #54 Out of Time

Season 3 Episode #54 Out of Time

This week we discuss racism in our own lives, we reflect on the devastating murder of George Floyd and the tension we are feeling. We are adding the track Out of Time by Blur to the COVID-19 mixtape, because we watched the world spinning from the Space X launch and it couldn’t be more obvious that it’s time to open your mind.

Season 3 Episode #52 Golden Age Raps

Season 3 Episode #52 Golden Age Raps

Babe visited a teledoctor and experienced the VIP feelings of curbside pickup. The other Babe pretended to be Dr. Manhattan sitting on Mars making clocks, we both simultaneously waited for the fog of depression to lift. We’re passing the time marveling at the lyrical gymnastics Open Mike Eagle lays down on Golden Age Raps, listen for his “special” shoutout to this place we live in.
May 26, 202001:04:33
Season 3 Episode #51 Unbelievers

Season 3 Episode #51 Unbelievers

These babes are getting a little fed up with the conspiracies, I suppose you could call us unbelievers. We also get to the bottom of the meaning of Italian Horn and bathe in the glow of Vampire Weekend, the ultimate yuppy punk band.
May 19, 202001:03:15
Season 3 Episode #50 This is Not My Idea of a Good Time

Season 3 Episode #50 This is Not My Idea of a Good Time

Yeah, these babes are 90’s kids, so deal with it. Grunge was built for times like these, and that’s why this week’s track comes from the ultra cool band Garbage. Bonus: we discuss our prison diets and plans for ripped abs.
May 12, 202001:01:35
Season 3 Episode #49 Movies of Myself

Season 3 Episode #49 Movies of Myself

I’ve seen it all before, in movies of myself…Are ya on Zoom, Facetime, Houseparty, Snap, Stories? Yeah we’ve seen it! Desperation for distraction - something, someone, the thing that’s going to unlock the fun must be just around the corner, right? Track #8 on the COVID-19 playlist is Rufus Wainwright.
May 05, 202058:27
Season 3 Episode #48 In the Garage

Season 3 Episode #48 In the Garage

No one hears me sing this song (and that might be a good thing). The garage is a place to be a nerd when no one is looking, to make stuff and get away from the people in your house. The art of introverting brought to you by Weezer, #7 on our COVID-19 mixtape.
Apr 28, 202001:00:11
Season 3 Episode #47 This Must Be The Place

Season 3 Episode #47 This Must Be The Place

I guess we must be having fun. Like it or not, home must be the place, because these babes are home all the time. The Talking Heads are up next on this COVID-19 playlist. We celebrate Easter by discussing the mysterious pooka bunny, Donnie Darko, and Wallstreet. So get your jazz hands ready, it’s showtime!
Apr 21, 202001:04:34
Season 3 Episode #46 Desperation Number 5

Season 3 Episode #46 Desperation Number 5

Desperate for some fun? Same. We are adding another grungy, gritty track to this quarantine playlist. We’ve officially joined the A/V Club and we’re nerding out on some fuzz bass and Bowie dreamscapes.
Apr 14, 202059:59
Season 3 Episode #45 The Waiting Rooms

Season 3 Episode #45 The Waiting Rooms

We are patient babes, we wait, we wait, we wait…. for the waiting to be over. Sparkle and Synth meets Punk Rock and Distortion, it a musical collision where opposites attract. Join us in the waiting room while we discuss hot tracks and fat beats.
Apr 07, 202001:06:47
Season 3 Episode #44 Broken Train

Season 3 Episode #44 Broken Train

“I'm glad I got my suit dry-cleaned/Before the riots started…” there’s nothing like late 90’s Hollywood sparkle mixed with shattered honky tonk and fuzz bass to make you feel like a lone stranger on the Planet of the Apes. Beck is track #3 on our Viral Playlist.
Mar 31, 202001:09:51
