This is what pornography looks like to me.
Not much to say about good ol' episode 11. It's a breather and it sounds like one. Still, I liked this idea enough to do a few other shows in this style, but under a different moniker.

Look how happy they are.
This is largely considered to be a good starting episode for the show! Listening back, I wish I had better mic technique and didn't say "you know" as much. I think one reason I'm constantly stumbling in my words is because the subject matter is so personal. I'm comf...

One of my all time favorites.
