Grab your complimentary lollipop and join us on a wander down a culinary memory lane as we reminisce about the fruit juice starter and big steaks at the Berni Inn, burgers with a knife and fork at the Wimpy Bar, and being denied access to the Happy Eater swings. Discover what happened to PizzaLand, and how to make bubbles with a handdrier. Find out what’s coming out of the inkwell, and who’s putting the fizz in our gin this week. Only on Gin & Gentlemen.
While we grapple with the mysteries of the world around us, while we do our best to solve your conundrums, provide you with advice, and tease out your bizarre hypothetical situations, we are being watched. Watched, judged, and pitied, by beings beyond our perception, hovering outside our senses on the edges of our reality. These beings fear for us, not for the damage we might do to them, but for the damage we might do to ourselves. And for our part, we barely know when they're there. In that way only, are they more afraid of us than we are of them. If you haven't guessed, this episode is about centipedes.

"Keep the doors locked. Don't go outside. Keep the windows shut. Just be a little bit cautious - we'll have a squad car patrolling the area all night. We'll try to make contact with Pizzaland and see if we can get some information on this guy" - Woman, to Kevin Sanji You don't want to tell bad stories because telling bad stories makes you feel bad ("Brad, I'm finally encountering the idea that loneliness is my only end-goal"). So here's what's going to happen next: We're going to get Kevin to tell a story about a pizza delivery gone wrong. And then we're going to break the story down step-by-step, uncover the mechanics of storytelling, and get you telling better stories. We cover: - What happened after Kevin ordered pizza? - Who is the "Pizza Man"? - Why does the order of events matter? - A simple process (using observation and deliberate practice) to improve your storytelling performance If you want to go deeper than the podcast, go to realtalkstudio.com.
