Do you feel that. THAT is warmth coming through the weekdays and a hopeful sign that winter is finally behind us. Wait. No. I just looked at the weather for this week and it's forty nine degrees on Tuesday and eighty degrees on Friday. OK. We are going to pause all of this for a few months and come back when we can all agree on what season we are in. Happy Summer.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

OK, Dream with me. The Maha'a Tiki Bar just inherited five million dollars. The world is our oyster. Besides the obvious Velvet Elvis that we are going to commission for behind the bar, how else are we going to blow out this bar to piss off our neighbors? God, I love this game. Welcome to the Lounge! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Let's warm up those vocal cords before we all launch into this week's "mini-sode". We're singing songs that make no sense but who cares. We've got commitment behind our eyes and in our voices. Sure, our mothers had no idea what "Afternoon Delight" meant when they were singing it to us with the radio while they were packing up our school lunches. It doesn't matter. They were committed and off-key. Exactly what we needed it to be. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
