The cuties discuss the ins and outs of POWER YOGA and then Jos explains the premises of every TV sitcom she's never seen. Let's just say the 80's would have been better if Jos was a Hollywood exec back then.

Costume Designer Clair Foster joins the cuties this week to talk about all the sweat and tears that go into making people look in-character for stage and film production.

Oh, and dragon dicks are discussed.

Matt and Jos have an opportunity to get a promo onto a very-popular-podcast-which-shall-not-be-named but need to have it by tomorrow. So that means instead of recording a podcast they take an hour to record a promo because they are VERY lazy. Welcome to brainstorming 101 with Professor Meat and Adjunct Professor Cute.

Cuties love company, so we're going to talk about the best company of all - pets!

Some of us will shower them with an unending supply of fancy pet food - others will systematically murder every raccoon in the world to protect them.  Check out Ash doing standup all over the bay ...

As actors of note, Jos and Matt decide to take on some of the lowest-rated movies on Rotten Tomatoes and improve them with their Oscar-level acting. Just as a paintbrush is but horse hair on a stick in the hands of a novice painter , these lines were just too advanced for the uncured thesbians attempting to bring these underrated movies to bear. Behold! ACTING!

In order to further combat Jos' bad attitude towards siblinghood, the cuties have two sisters on the podcast to talk about how fucking obnoxious and awesome it is to not be an only child. Seawitchling and Jennifer Thoden talk impalement, throat slitting, sleeping through orgies, and familial fealty in this heart-warming episode.
