My Bad Poetry

Aaron and Dave dive into an old private journal to read poems written in high school. Along the way the two have found themselves joined by some incredibly amazing people, all willing to share some of their own bad poetry. Experience a mix of self-reflection, humor, self-deprecation, great conversations and just maybe a half decent poem!

Thanksgiving Leftovers (Holiday Blooper Special)


With no new episode being recorded this week, here is some leftover content from the first batch of episodes.  
Extended cuts from conversations too-off-the-rails or nerdy for the streamline, concise, and always on-point conversations you have come to know and love.  Served alongside many ads from our bathroom/childcare break sponsors.

From Dave and Aaron- Happy Thanksgiving! And a Blessed/Restful start to your Holiday season...

episode 14: Why


The poem asks "why?" and Dave and Aaron ask "why?" in return without a really good answer.  Hopefully you won't ask the same of them...

episode 12: Poem from 12/01/05


Dave and Aaron try to look past the clouds to see the cheese filled lemons on this one.

Also when Aaron references "Untitled Melody" he clearly meant "Unchained Melody."  I know it bugs me too.
