We start off with tip #3 to help you get your novel-writing unstuck on the business end of the mullet - and then be party in the back end of the episode with a wild Minnesota road trip story involving a 60-foot statue, a drain hole, and a violated drive-through window.

Today's episode is decidedly a new direction for Boxflap! I reveal my first-ever car, declare an un-training manifesto for lions (or bold writers), and unveil the 1976 Ford Elite that makes you realize we are regressing as a society.

In this quick-take episode, I lay down a heavy thought about creativity and I tell you a marsupial-themed joke - all in under five minutes. PRODUCTION NOTE: This was an on-the-fly recording, not with my cool new microphone, but I really wanted to get an episode out and appease the guilt monkey until I have more time to do a fully produced episode.

This episode was a blast. I started putting it together, feeling pretty low energy, but then the creativity just started flowing. Guaranteed to make 2 out of 3 people chuckle - assuming you're standing next to a couple of idiots.
