Claire and Lyndsey are back due to their demand. We start by recapping how Claire has become the podcast’s number 1 fan, what it means and how we engage with each other. We go over some origin stories and I can’t remember why I went to see a movie. We cover the fact that these sisters in law and best friends have 2 girls who are cousins and best friends. *

It’s a friendly train reunion as Wiggo and Alyson join me again to talk about friendship stuff. We only got through 3 questions this time because we got distracted by underpants, dining room tables, nursery rhymes, sandwiches and songs. We talk about how our thinking has changed, putting reminders in our phones and talking weird.

Ryan Lindsay works with me, but I really wanted to talk about his double life as a writer of comics. Ryan has created many many comics and graphic novels and I wanted to know about his processes and amount of sleep he gets. We found out in this interview that we are both the youngest of three boys and that our older brothers showed us messed up movies when we were too young.
Is podcasting the 10th art form?
