Daniel and Alison (Daniel Was Wrong and Golden Slippers!)
Daniel doesn't look at my social media which leads me to believe he doesn't see me, hear me, watch me, get me, etc. Also each of us wants to throw the other's phone into traffic. We discuss my latest column about c-words, babysitters, an email I received about Daniel, massive balls, an important update about the microwave situation, golden slippers and more.

Knife in Alison's Drawer, The Built Environment, Forgotten Sprouts!
Rob Schulte, an expert in production schedules, brings his wit to a lively conversation about kitchen mishaps and modern appliances. They delve into the absurdities of 'right to repair' and share hilarious tales of service provider escapades. Amidst reflections on medical fears and the quirks of high-achieving doctors, the discussion takes a nostalgic turn towards Beetlejuice and forgotten food trends like alfalfa sprouts. With humor and insight, they navigate life's everyday chaos while keeping it entertaining!

Daniel and Alison (News Jingle Showdown and Daniel's Velcro)
Is there a compendium of stores that let you return something but don't require you to actually return the item because I'm into it. Also Daniel's learning how to cut hair! Strep throat has hit our house and you know old people just talk non-stop about ailments? I am beginning to see how it happens. I have some harsh words for my mosquito listeners and Daniel is reclaiming the American Flag. Plus a disturbing AF news story out of France, I was wrong, This Week on Tik Tok, your voicemails and I think I'm a super taster.

Horny Origins, Pet Insurance, Disliking People In Your Life
Todd Cooper is here and Tony wants us to know his birthday just happened. I never know when Labor Day is and also I need to discuss organizational systems for keeping track of auto junk. Todd is all about Chat GPT and Daniel is wary but not sure why. Well, he's wary of letting our kids use it. Do we need to treat robots with respect? I need to talk about insurance (sexy!) and there's more Japan talk. Plus The Bear and Love on The Spectrum.

Banana Rats and Flat Earthers

Daniel and Alison (Let There Be Fish)
There was a bounty of religious paraphernalia in the waiting room at the doctor's office which feels fitting since this week found Elliot revisiting his burgeoning religiosity. Daniel and I think we've figured out the source. Also am I just a midlife medical podcast now? Plus back to school night, tattoos, the podcast I guested on earlier, the future of regenerative medicine, Rose Creek Village cult and more.

Daniel and Alison (Your Calls and 4 Suggestions for Japan)
Now that we're back in the US, we have some notes for Japan. Just four small things they might want to change. Daniel is still working his way through a cache of Japanese protein bars and I can barely remember a time when I got a full night of sleep. Elliot is offended by Daniel's funk and we're debuting a new segment: This Week On Tik Tok (TWOTT) featuring a woman who made everyone think her life was in danger when it wasn't. Now that the truth is out, people are mad!
