Yesterday I was sitting on top of a half disassembled tractor engine, with grease and sockets everywhere, eating my lunch of falafel and listening to the brace-dark-cowboy episode about afghan heroin when my elderly MAGA nut/Jehovah's witness/ 24hr/day fox news watching manager walked in.

She offered no comment lol

    One time I was giving a ride to a friend and my Bluetooth started playing an episode of trueanon I was on. I fumbled to pause it, but she had already heard some of it. Swear to God she turned her head and asked me "wait how is this guy gay if he's a pussy eater?"

    brace-watching

    Semi-unrelated but I really feel bad for people who were raised as Witnesses. One of the only religions where you can genuinely believe and still not be guaranteed a reward because Heaven has an entry limit. Shit must be stressful.

    I just started this podcast! Episode what, 16? My partner and I were listening to it together and laughing because it’s all about how health insurance is stacked against Americans. 2019, very relevant today.

    There’s some missing episodes early on. I wonder why?
