The gang discusses the 1990s, a decade of great highs and lows. It was a time when we were too busy doing the Bartman and listening to Ace of Base on our Walkmans to worry about the future -- or is that just a phony memory planted by nostalgia? It was an age of irony, prosperity, and gettin' jiggy with it, not to mention an age when you couldn't call someone for a date without the risk of having to talk to their parents. Maybe some...
The art form that is always dying but will never die: theater! Or "theatre," if you're fancy. We discuss our personal experiences on both sides of the curtain and share our thoughts on musicals, improv, and the perfect level of intoxication for an audience.
Featuring: Spencer Bainbridge, Dana Constance, Zack Johnson, Tavis Kammet, Anna Kritikos, Dan Kurtz, Alex Marshall, Claire Rice
Hey there, sports fans, we're back for our eleventh episode and we're talking about the wide, wide world of athletics. We reminisce about the Tonya Harding scandal and discuss why listening to classical music makes football more entertaining.
Featuring: Bryce Allemann, Spencer Bainbridge, Dana Constance, George Durando
Advertising is everywhere, but is it a necessary evil or just an evil? And why do they want us to drink milk so badly? We channel our inner Don Drapers to discuss the subject of advertising. Some of our panelists offer insider perspective on the manipulations of the ad game, and some (Spencer) confess to buying Moon Shoes just because the commercial made them look cool.
Featuring: Spencer Bainbridge, Timothy Huls, Zack Johnso...
Christmas movies are unavoidable when you turn on your TV this time of year. Most of them are terrible. But you watch them anyway, don't you? In this episode, we talk about the best and the worst of Hollywood's holiday offerings. But most of all, we learn the powerful lesson that snow dad is better than no dad.
Featuring: Spencer Bainbridge, Dana Constance, Dan Kurtz, Alex Marshall, Claire Rice, Nicole Weber.
Our panel discusses the life-affirming joy and demoralizing rejection of the dating scene. We get into dating apps, leg surgeries, long-distance Skype calls, and why Disneyland isn't a good first date. There is also a very true cautionary tale about the complication of dating identical twins. Love rules! Love stinks!
Featuring: Bryce Allemann, Spencer Bainbridge, Sara-Jean Bartky, Dana Constance, Zack Johnson, Sunil Patel, Nicole ...
We're not paranoid, just observant. In this episode, we talk about conspiracies: why people believe in them, the craziest conspiracy theories we've heard, and which ones we could be talked into after a couple of drinks.
Featuring: Spencer Bainbridge, Dana Constance, Alex Marshall, Claire Rice.
You want fries with that? We're talking about fast food: the good, the bad, and the completely unacceptable. Seriously, what's the deal with the whole Carl's Jr./Hardee's thing? We don't know, because we did very little research. But we did have a lot of fun talking about our roadside favorites in our sixth and tastiest episode.
Featuring: Spencer Bainbridge, Sara-Jean Bartky, Zack Johnson, Tavis Kammet, Anna Kritikos, Dan Ku...
Bad songs are often just as likely to lodge themselves in your consciousness as good songs are. That’s what makes them truly evil. But with something so subjective as music, what does “bad” even mean? We discuss bad songs, their effect on our mental health, and which singers sound the grossest when they sing about sex.

Boo! We're talking about ghosts. Haints, poltergeists, whatever you want to call them, everyone seems to have at least one story about seeing something they can't quite explain. We also get on the subject of player pianos and how many is too many to have in your basement. But mostly we talk about ghosts. This is our meatiest and most spooktacular episode yet, and we hope you enjoy it. But seriously, what DOES happen when someone di...
Remember summer vacation? How it seemed so long and yet so tragically finite? In our third episode, the Quicksand Club gang discuss which Otter Pop best represents our mental state and ponder if someone with a pool can ever know who their true friends are.
Featuring: Spencer Bainbridge, Peter Illes, Zack Johnson, Tavis Kammet, Annie Kim, Dan Kurtz, Becky Raeta.
In this episode, the Quicksand Club gang discusses cartoons: classic Disney cartoons, freaky old cartoons, and even good old terrible Christmas Claymation. We also debate the attractiveness of Launchpad McQuack, though really, there's no debate to be had.
Featuring: Spencer Bainbridge, Tavis Kammet, Anna Kritikos, Sunil Patel, Claire Rice, Corinne Santoro, Puja Tolton.
In our first episode, we take on the topic of dreams and nightmares. Why do we dream? Do dreams mean anything? Which grandma is more racist? These questions and more will be answered!
Featuring: Spencer Bainbridge, Sara-Jean Bartky, Zack Johnson, Claire Rice, Corinne Santoro.
