Second part of the two-parter pilot. Celestia does her own Gulf of Tonkin, and we discuss if Rarity is a Northern abolitionist moderate??
Music by Swagberg.
We get a friend and the ride of a friend to talk about dumb boys and their dumb butts with us.
Hannah meets some families and it is awk and heck gurlfren. Also a fake Christian male experiences no consequences for his wickedness. How novel!
Everybody is a type of cured meat in this episode. We get into it with Cathy Coppin, who made our dope show logo.
We get naked and push our no-no squares together on this episode. Just listen for the meowing sound. That's the squares smooshing. Smoosh.
Holy shit just send him home already put us out of our misery. Plus: I make up a new anthem for the country of Latvia.
We see some dongs and exhaust ourselves talking about a guy you would fully avoid eye-contact if you saw him on the sidewalk outside a bar, even if he was just minding his own business. We're back!
We were on vacation so this is late, sorry teacher my dog ate my homework leave me alone you're not my real dad
Another week, another swarm of dong trying to suffocate our Hawnna in love. Also stay tuned to hear me burn my wife so bad it settles once and for all whether I am a good person or not (I am not).
The shitshow begins, some guy gets straight murked by two women in a van, and the guitar guy from Animal House is a frontrunner. God bless reality television.

Fuck Alabama, fuck Georgia, praise Tecumsuh Sherman and U.S. Grant, may their work never end.
The Bachelorette is starting again, which means another crop of goobers to sort through. We sort through their crapulence.

We try talking about feeding babies and instead talk about everything, but also feeding solids to babies. We're the best at this tbh.
Here is our kid eating and being adorable.
The article that is good and Aleesha talked about near the end.
How to have kids with pets, or pets with kids, or kids and pets with potato gratin and a nice jus.
Our friend Cathy comes by to watch Chris Harrison go Manhunter on Colton and for the wheels to come off the whole franchise.

How dare you suggest I have ADHD. We count down our favourite baby hacks, including that baby I saw just doing George Carlin bits in Istanbul.
Hometowns is here! Hometowns is here! The end is near! Let's have a beer! Hometowns is here! Which way will he steer? Let's get into gear! Let's gawk and let's leer!
And so on.
DRAMZ! Listen to the dramz. Kick up the dramz. Drink a dramz of scotch. If your computer doesn't start try clearing the DRAM. It's Bachelor season and everybody's fishing for some beefcake.
I would trade my salary for Jellicat product. Just hook it to my veins.
Anyone who is in a position of authority to decide an article of baby clothing gets snaps instead of zips is a goddamn war criminal.
The ladies and gentleman go to Vietnam where they giggle about American imperialism, get facials, do some heavy petting, and attempt to beat each other to death. No, really! Also Aleesha does a journalism about American evangelical Christian colleges. It's good and she's very talented and smart and I just want to touch her hair all the time? It's very shiny and nice.
Join us for more Bachelor talk. We talk eating bugs, not eating bugs, having a fight SO IMPORTANT you don't notice you're virtually being dumped in real time, and I use the word "garmonbozia" for maybe the first time in a Bachelor podcast.
Orifices. Orifi? We all have them. Most of the time they open and close of our own volition. Other times we have a baby and they decide to just...not cooperate. We discuss this.
A serious episode by serious people, filled with cultural critique and OH A BABY OUR BABY GUESTS SHE'S SO CUTE
Our baby is cute! She is a good baby. We put down our gripe boots and put on our proud pumps. Parenting is hard but the baby is fun! Join us for a love-in.
Find us on Twitter @stoicromance and @aleeshabray, but never Tweet. It's bad for you. Horrible website, to be honest.
We are BACK and we are talking about The Bachelor for free. No cheques from old ABC for us. Nope, we are VOLUNTEERS. We are marketing for the biggest show on television for NO COMPENSATION. Not a penny. We are normal.
This week we discuss scurvy, demisexuals, ultimatums, and I yawn about ten times. It was past my widdle beddy-by tyme. Wah.

Mom please don't listen to this episode about conception and pregnancy. I beg you.
We're on twitter and crap so find us there. I'm not putting the links in you can't make me. Do some legwork, the show is free.
My nose is very stuffed up in this episode because I live in Calgary, a hellish tundra where water leaves the air faster than a Christian couple unclear on the concept of Jesus Christ Superstar leaves their community theatre performance. DEAL WITH IT.
The Bachelor is back, so we are back. As yin follows yang, Garfunkel follows Simon, and Clinton follows the career of Vera Farmiga, it is a relationship that can never be unbroken, across dimensions, time, and destiny. Join us, won't you?
JONBENET LIVES!

It's a new episode, and we're back on the pod scene like a blood truck in a bouncy castle. We talk about the labour that delivered our cool little daughter to the world, and how decidedly atypical and uncool it all was.
Content warnings for blood, guts, genitalia, more blood, stress, lots of blood, and medical insanity.
Here is a picture of an amniotic perforator, AKA the crochet hook of life.

It's the first episode of Raising Bairns, a parenting podcast with a Scottish name by two very un-Scottish people!
In this episode, Clinton and Aleesha talk about how their kid treats sleep like a poison, or some sort of occupying army, and how that makes things Very Good and Fun in life.
