    This episode starts off with a monologue involving a lot of crying. I wasn't sure I wanted to release it with that intro, but I think maybe it's good to be uncomfortably vulnerable every once in a while. It's about 20 minutes of intro before the episode starts AND OH WHAT AN EPISODE IT IS. Rachel is incredible. We talk about horror movies, horror games, farming, work hell, weird/fancy drinks, and tons of other stuff because, guess what, WE HIT IT OFF. I know you'll have an excellent time if you give it a listen.

Joe has shocking responses to my "This or That" questions, and they share about their family's holiday traditions - again, shocking responses. Joe's acting is put on display in the Christmas scenes we read at the end of the episode, and their accent work is a thrill and a joy as always! Who better to spend your holiday with? Give it a listen while you drive to, from, or into a relative's home. And have yourself a merry little Christmas, won't you?

    Today I'm releasing something even more special than a podcast episode, if you can believe it: a sit down comedy album!! This is the third album I've released this year and I have to say that they have steadily decreased in quality since the first one. But I will never give up, even if I know in my heart that I am entirely mediocre. Please feel guilty enough to listen and then say nice things to me because my attempt at making people laugh is so embarrassing that you feel sorry for me.
