Wendy Molyneux’s Pool, Dave Huntsberger’s Surprise, Alison’s Cool Shuffling

By Alison Rosen on July 16, 2020 in podcast

Imagine a scenario where someone invites you to their house for coffee and either starts shuffling cards in a fancy way, starts juggling or starts doing bar flair. Which would be the weirdest? Wendy Molyneux, David Huntsberger, Tony Thaxton and I have strong opinions. We even drew Daniel into the mix. Plus moving during quarantine, a Scotland quiz and a surprise from Dave which I would tell you about but then it wouldn’t be a surprise.

Jackie’s Horse Thoughts, Alison’s Trolling, A Ken Reid Quiz

By Alison Rosen on July 8, 2020 in podcast

Jackie was supposed to return to LA but didn’t and Tony is a little worried about Moose. Plus mocktails, horses, a quiz to see who knows Ken Reid best (play along at home) and Just Me Or Everyone.
