Carrie and I recorded this episode on August 5th. My intention was to edit and post it that night before I began my 2-week sort-of tour to Orlando Nerd Fest 2014 and Gen Con Indy 2014, so you guys would have a new episode to tide you over until I got back. Well, due to being busy with preparations before and during both these events, that didn’t happen, and you’re getting this episode 2 weeks later, negating the whole point of trying to get the episode recorded before I left town. That’s the way the cookie’s best laid plans of mice and men, crumbles, uh, shit happens.
Anyway, in this episode, Carrie and Luke talk about what other things they’ve been up to all summer. Carrie moved her family into a new house, dyed her hair, marched in the Pride parade, sang Ren Faire music, took Alex to see the dentist, Muppets, hot-air balloons, and put out a new album. Meanwhile Luke began some sessions of serious therapy, went to Buffalo, learned CPR, saw both Rifftrax Sharknado and Monty Python at the movie theater, watched “Scrubs” in its entirety, and put out a new album.
This episode’s comedy tracks are by Paul & Storm, Worm Quartet, featuring Insane Ian, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Meghan Trainor, Twenty Trucks, Kermit the Frog & Rowlf the Dog, Scott Bradlee’s Saturday Morning Slow Jams, Rob Paravonian, Monty Python, Lazlo Bane, “Blasted Bill” Putt, Zach Braff & Donald Faison, Meatus Murder, Garden Fresh, & Epic Rap Battles Of History.
You can get Luke’s new album “4th Grade Talent Show” and Carrie’s new album “Sing All Funny Jokes” at our respective Bandcamp pages, assuming the image for this episode didn’t scare you so bad you had a massive heart attack and died.

I actually hadn’t heard about Willow before, I’m not sure how I missed that news. Condolences on losing your kitty. 🙁 Losing a feline companion is tough, but at least she was loved in her life.
We all knew Luke was smart. On a standard normed test, the 90th to 99th percentile is 120 to 135 IQ. Math is bullshit, bitches. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=100+%2B+15+*+sqrt%282%29+*+inverse+erf%282*%28.99+-+.5%29%29
Finally got to listening to your new album (I know, my listening queue is getting really long). It’s great! In particular, Orko calls back to things we enjoyed as kids with a ton of pop culture references — quintessential Luke Ski. Also, the T-Rex cut rocks, and it was good to hear Lindsay on the Ultimix.
