What do planes, primates and peckers have in common besides their plosive alliteration? Answer: They're all discussed on this week's edition of TWFA.

So annoying.

Which is more annoying, lima beans or clowns? And what's your scale of annoying?

In this episode, we talk about more things we find annoying. Yes, lima beans are up there. But clowns are in a special category of annoying. In this show, we cover Lori's short stint as a birthday party clown and round it out with a discussion of sinus surgery. Good times.
