It turns out that AI isn't quite ready to take over writing duties yet when it comes to writing the show outline. Robots: you either get us or you don't. We make the most of it and try to get through the stories the robots suggested – even when they are just dumb. Tip Tap […]
Rachelle is off this episode and is working on art. Check her out on Instagram. In her absence, the youngest child has stepped to the mic and is helping to guide the show by choosing the music and some of the topics. As with any child under 10 when they get bored, it does devolve […]
It's our post Eurovision wrap up! What a show it was. Scandal! Intrigue! Drama! We go over what went on both on stage and off and come to our own conclusions. Mostly, it's all Eric's fault. Tip Tap Tip Episode Music playlist on YouTube Music
Is this the best Eurovision ever? It’s certainly looking that way. We pack this episode with lots of songs from earnest ballads (Germany) to absolute craziness (Finland).

Space is weird. Space is dangerous. The only people who seem to go there in their dick rockets are bored billionaires.

Still recording on an old mic as our studio setup is blocked by boxes and junk. Deal with it. In this episode, the children join us, then leave, then come back, then fight each other.

We’re in full-on renovation mode. Our house is soon going to be fitted with trampolines in every room and paisley everything. The child joins us, then goes away to make a fort, then comes back.

Sometimes intentions and execution don’t line up. This was supposed to be a summer recap / 1990s episode and it kind of is – but not really. It looks like we have a new co-host with the youngest child. At least, until he becomes a moody teenager. Call us! Seriously, we only mention it like […]
