Running. You might say it's like walking but faster... Now imagine running for 26.2 miles! That would be a marathon, right? Sure. Now double it. 52.4 miles!? That would qualify as an ultramarathon! But we're not stopping there. Special guest, Cabe Waldrop, tells us a little story about a man named Gordy Ainsleigh who ran 100 miles (in a race for HORSES) to see what the human body, some buttermilk, and a little gumption could do. We're talking about the FIRST ULTRAMARATHON! Plus, the Mouthgarf Report and I See What You Did There!

First Disney Animated Feature Film (1937)

She's the fairest but she isn't always the brightest. We get into the making of and nitty gritty details of 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the FIRST DISNEY ANIMATED FEATURE FILM. As we talk plot and marvel at this animated classic, we also ask the hard questions: Did inhaling a bar of soap kill Dopey? Is Grumpy just a misogynist? What kind of message does this movie send to girls and women... and to men too? Plus, we get Superbad in the MouthGarf Report, and play a little I See What You Did There.

First David Lynch Film (1977) with Michael J. O'Connor

It's a fever dream, a dream about a fever, and a fever about a dream. On this episode, we're joined by guest and friend of the pod, Michael J. O'Connor as we talk about 1977's Eraserhead--the FIRST DAVID LYNCH FILM. We're talking strange babies (critters), tall hair, pipes all over town, and next door neighbors. Really, the episode defies a single explanation, just like its subject. Plus, we talk MouthGarf, play I See What You Did There, and have a damn fine time doing it too. Lastly, we bid a fond farewell-for-now to Chelsea... Thank you so much for being part of this show! We love you!
