Are We Sure This is Good?: Recent Episodes
MalmLand Studios
Rob and Tim wrap up their first season! We talk about healthcare, pitch the perfect Sunday in a truncated Elevator Pitch Me With Your Best Shot, and breakdown what we’ve learned thus far. We tackle the question: what is the show? What we like, what we’ve learned, and where we’re going. Finally, we rank the breakfast breads.

Rob and Tim break down some thoughts on money this week. What it does to their brains, how it makes them feel, and at no point come even close to sound financial advice of any kind. Things that are good this week include sleep, artbreeder.com, doing your best, and the relationship between constraints and creativity! They also discuss some nuts and bolts of podcastery, pitch a cryptocurrency heist movie, and rank the great breakfast breads: waffles, pancakes, biscuits & gravy, and French toast.

Rob and Tim discuss what’s good this week, play a little game called Pitch Me With Your Best Shot: Kathryn/Catherine edition, and discuss life changes. How to see ‘em coming, what to do when they grasp you in their mighty jaws, and how to escape/when to succumb to their overwhelming force.

Rob and Tim are joined by Elliot Bromberg and Anthony Ferraro, the co-hosts of Pasta Party! Pasta Party is a completely improvised comedy podcast that we both love, and Elliot and Anthony were kind enough to take some time and chat with us about their improv work, how their podcast got started, and a surprisingly detailed discussion of beverages. #frescaforever
Then: we breakdown our reactions to The Suicide Squad.
