Back from a summer hiatus, we explain why we took a nearly 2 month break. Duff had a great summer and booked a lead role in a Lifetime Movie. Jesse had a bummer of a summer taking care of a sick dog and getting into debt via vet bills. But a birthday in the desert, and making fun of flat-earthers, ESPN, and Nazi's made it all worthwhile.

Our take on birthdays at the race track, 12 year non-puking streaks, drugs, and sleeping habits.

Jesse won a Moth storytelling night and finished his memoir, but battled with a sarcastic date. Duff experienced two delayed flights and a broken iPod shuffle. Also included: stool samples, memories of Chris Cornell, the death of the MP3, and catching up on Twin Peaks.
