Daniel and I both think the other one is the messy one in the house so we've devised a foolproof way to figure out who's right. Daniel hates our farmhouse sink and I have a hysterectomy update. I recall the time I saw the slowest human in the world and Elliot knows how babies are made. Plus hormone chat and your calls!

Daniel has a new segment and we need your help titling it. We're less than one week out from my surgery and I'm playing a dangerous game. I'm being eaten alive by mosquitos and I'm also singing my own praises. Sort of. I've come up with a zillion dollar idea and Daniel shares his father's zillion dollar idea. Plus Daniel's planning all the plastic surgery he's going to get.

We're back from Hawaii and there's a challenge before Daniel and me. And it's not Sudoku which, btw, I don't understand exactly how to play. Sitting around in a wet bathing suit didn't do my vagina any favors and Daniel is pissed about "sammiches." We have a JMOE about desert islands and we need to know why these rich people are building bunkers. What do they know? Plus Quantzian nicknames and more.
We've got a breaking cool ass bird update and Daniel and I were massaged within an inch of our lives. But in a good way. While said massaging was happening I noticed what I was most content thinking about it it isn't great. Plus a Hawaiian Snack Chat featuring fruits!

Is Big Al setting a trap for Daniel with the questions she's asking? Elliot feels bad about my neck and I might be over Farmers Markets. Daniel saw a cool ass bird and we were talked into calling security about a blister. Also I have some words for the ukulele situation I witnessed.

Jeff Fox joins us and then Daniel leaves us. But he comes back! I tried to take advantage of Burbank's robust vintage clothing options and it did not go well. Also I need to give an update on the estate sale/auction situation. We take some listener calls and I read some iTunes Comments of the Week. And we revisit our signature segment that we can never remember the name of.

Taylor Williamson and his chick magnet Betty are here and Betty hobnobbed with some famous celebs at a party recently. We all have a lot of HGFYs to share and Jeff Fox and I recall the whole Kevin Smith/Adam Carolla incident. Specifically we recall Smith's use of a certain word but we each interpret it differently.
