52 - "I gotta smoke bad weed about it"
Peter Wong and Monica Carroll are the two top leads in this week's greatest hit: Some sketches. These are people cold-reading comedy sketches on a hot mic.

Angela Sawyer (@downwitpants) and Zack Norton (Head Writer) participate in a heist, some courtroom drama, and the assassination of Julius Caesar. You heard it here first. We also talk borrowed cars and the mental health benefits of becoming a licensed real estate agent in the state of California. Things end with a funeral for a man and his small, wooden friend. But instead of a Pinocchio thing, it's even worse. Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.

11 - "It's the barbershop code"
Raoul Biron (@raoulbiron) delivers a Stubbs A-List level performance full of fake girlfriends, CIA-style surveillance, and a corrupt, world-weary schoolchild. The range! There's also some HVAC bullshit and a bank loan for an ethnic restaurant (British). Katlin wasn't into the conspiracy sketch but Raoul liked it, so I think we all came out on top. Shoutout to @Johntylercomedy for writing the Vice Principal sketch like a true king. Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.

10 - "Soda, clothes, and gasoline"
Hal Griffin (@hotdogtimemachine) and Maylin get into desert island finance and suburban life on Neptune. Plus, Al Pacino drops by, but you have to listen closely to catch it. There's a nice chat about high school bullying and at another point everyone gets mad at me for no reason. Everything I said was perfect, especially about the dog. Also featuring: A haunted factory, gritty Boston crime stuff, a bigtime radio station contest winner, and the best damn think tank in the Beltway. Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @tho...

Zach Stewart (@zachstewartcomedy) and Monica Carroll (@monica_j_carroll) deal with municipal Godzilla issues, fancy poker chips, and door to door salesmen. The dog barks at the beginning and I get mad, but that means Beau is technically on the podcast. Sixth mic, baby! Also jokes about golf dates, farmers, and porta potties. What more could you want.

Shaun Connolly (@sirshaunconnolly) brings his brand of Worcester-style justice to the high seas and the shoulder of Route 139 with style, plus a lot of yelling. This was an especially fun time doing what we do best: Selling stolen cars and besmirching Europeans.

07 - "This pamphlet had zero fine print"
Ryan Ellington (@ryan_ellington) and Rohan Dias (human monster) sell some limos and break into the Heaven 500 with style. Besides the sketches, we spend a lot of time fixated on Rohan in a negative way but it all bounces off of him, which is his whole thing. Also we do a sketch about telepathic dogs that kind of goes off the rails but I thought it was fun. Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.

06 - "Twisted geniuses who are making spaghetti"
Cam Oh (@camohhcomedy) jokes around about Komodo dragons and seasonal babes, all while clinging to the final thread of his sanity (not sketch related). There's also some car talk and we sexuality-code HBO shows at one point. Towards the end one of the sketches is really messed up with formatting and names, but Cam threw a tantrum about his character being named "Garth Chimney" so it's also his fault.

Also there's a whole thing about Egypt and unions, believe me it's crazy. Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.

La Llamada De La Luna (LLDLL)
172. Músicos que han Vivido Fenómenos Extraños (LLDLL)
VII En el programa 138 y el 140 hablé de famosos y experiencias paranormales, eran famosos en general, modelos, cantantes, actores, que han vivido fenómenos inexplicables. En esta ocasión, quería hablar solo de músicos. Y aunque a veces sus anécdotas las han vivido solos, no en pocas ocasiones, ha sido toda la banda… algo que puede dar qué pensar. Casas embrujadas, encuentros con fantasmas, avistamientos OVNIs, o mensajes de esperanza. Voy a contaros anécdotas de muchos músicos muy importantes, tal vez de la historia, como Elvis Presley, quien tuvo experiencias con su madre fallecida y con avistam...

With summer as the theme though Danny goes with it and asks Thom some of his childhood memories that include football two-a-days, riding bikes on the horse trails behind Joe Sweeney's house, and having a crush on the older sister's friend.Support Thom: Instagram: @thomcrowley
