Welcome to our very first episode of The Laughing Skulls, where we aim to be the podcast version of your reality TV friends - only without the drama! Listen in as we kick things off with a spirited discussion about Valentine's Day and all that it entails. We reminisce about Richard Mercer from Mix 106.5 and share a funny anecdote about a prisoner who used the radio show to send a message to his girlfriend. As a laugh, we joke about becoming metaphorical prisoners in relationships and extend an invitation to any prisoners out there who want to use our show to send messages.
The conversation then shifts gears to dating and relationships. Drawing parallels between late 90s and early 2000s dating shows and the current Tinder scene, we playfully describe ourselves in terms of TV shows, movies, and musical artists. We also get into the nitty-gritty of relationship deal breakers and red flags, where we debate whether loud chewing is a deal breaker or a red flag and agree that lingering involvement with an ex is a total no-go. We even share some insights about our own love languages and past relationships. Tune in for all this and more on The Laughing Skulls!
We admit we're open to becoming the go-to podcast for any prisoners who want to communicate with their loved ones. So, join us as we bring the laughs and go "absolute Hannah Montana" on our listeners.

(0:00:02) - Valentine's Day and Podcast Banter (8 Minutes)
We discuss Valentine's Day, Richard Mercer from Mix 106.5, and prisoner relationships. We recall a memorable call from a prisoner to his girlfriend Rachel, and how Richard Mercer used music to make it a special moment. We also talk about the idea of being a metaphorical prisoner in a relationship and how we're open to any prisoners who want to use our show to put messages out. Finally, we make a joke about Hannah Montana and how we're going to "go absolute Hannah Montana" on our subscribers.
(0:08:31) - Speed Dating and Media Descriptions (16 Minutes)
We explore the differences between late 1990s and early 2000s dating shows and the current Tinder dating landscape. We describe ourselves in three TV shows, three movies, and three musical artists, and even get to a discussion on Richard Mercer from Mix 106.5 and prisoner relationships.
(0:24:14) - Relationship Deal Breakers and Red Flags (12 Minutes)
We debate if chewing too loud is a deal breaker or a red flag, and agree that still being involved with an ex is a total deal breaker. Narcissistic traits, cutting off someone while they are talking, and not making an effort to be involved in your life are all red flags. We also discuss our own love languages and what our past partners have liked the most and least about us.
