The New Year's Eve Episode! In February!
tell it anyway
We were thrilled to be a part of the Diamond Club New Year's Eve Streamathon, a 24 hour streaming celebration for a good cause. In this live episode, Matt and I tried to encapsulate an entire year in one hour, which was fun AND impossible. Enjoy!

TIA Day to Day 2
tell it anyway
Dude! Dude. 1/2 hour later… Oops, gotta run. Bye! Show Notes: Stand tall and hang tight Patrons! We’ve got a full episode on TIA in the can to be edited this weekend. But I know some of you were sad to hear a repeat in the rotation, so let me tide you over with an amuse bouche of a podcast. Would that be an amuse pouche? Do I even want to think what that might mean? We spend some time mulling over the “amuse douche” that is Peter Thiel v. Gawker, and the “gendered assholery” of the Variety takedown of Jennie’s former CEO.
