Release Date: October, 2025] Runtime: 22 min Audio Format: Immersive fiction – comedy, Americana, absurdity Recommended Listening: Stereo headphones encouraged for best experience Episode Summary The local YMCA transforms into an impromptu therapy hall when John (Dusty) and Fred (Farts) wander into the wrong “Circle of Veteran Brothers.” Instead of war stories, they get ink blots, notepads full of doodles, and the questionable wisdom of Dr. Fritz, a man who confuses therapy with interpretive sketching. Between misread squirrels, casserole visions, and Aria’s sharp tongue, the booth becomes ground zero for psychoanalysis no one asked for. Hope narrates the chaos, while Gigi tries to teach the kids an “R” word that feels uncomfortably at home among midlife crises. By the end, our heroes prove once again that their subconscious is best left unexamined, and that friendship can survive even the strangest of group sessions. Voices You’ll Hear • John (Dusty) – ever-suspicious, convinced squirrels are plotting against him • Fred (Farts) – casserole visionary, skeptical of Freud but not of snacks • Aria – waitress, master of sass, and unamused witness to amateur psychology • Dr. Fritz – doodle-happy therapist who mistakes sarcasm for progress • Gigi – teacher of the “R” word, corralling kids and coots alike • Hope – narrator, bemused chronicler of subconscious slip-ups Sound & Style Immersive stereo sound with diner background, pencil-on-paper scribbles, harmonica stings, and occasional group “ah-ha” gasps. Americana warmth collides with absurd banter and pseudo-psychology, blending small-town sarcasm with misplaced therapy. For New Listeners Start with Episode 1 to catch the origins of booths, bacon, and begrudging tenderness. Each episode stands alone, but the jokes, characters, and grievances grow funnier with each cup of coffee and each failed attempt at self-improvement. Credits Written, scored, and produced by Brian Clark — brewed with screen reader wizardry, a microphone, and just enough expired hot sauce to fuel 22 minutes of questionable pugilism.

Release Date: October 2025 Runtime: ~15minutes Audio Format: Immersive fiction – comedy, Americana, absurdity Recommended Listening: Stereo headphones encouraged for best experience Episode Summary The Jiffy Lube booth isn’t just a booth anymore—it’s a battlefield. When Curtis tags their vinyl with Sharpie graffiti, John (Dusty) and Fred (Farts) declare war on turf encroachment, only to get dragged into rivalries stranger than a squirrel staring contest. Lyle gets saddled with a new nickname, Curtis fires off insults with GPS precision, and even the grease boys become unwilling competitors in an Olympic-style filter ballet. Somewhere between betting on postal carriers like racehorses, debating thermostat truces, and critiquing rookie mechanics as if the fate of the free world depended on torque angles, Fred makes a surprising gesture: handing off his “smart” watch to someone who needs it more. Hope calls it random, but it’s anything but—because behind the sarcasm and sludge, Dusty and Farts still manage to deliver a little heart along with the burnt coffee. Voices You’ll Hear • John (Dusty) – defender of booth honor, master of pickle-jar metaphors • Fred (Farts) – reluctant philanthropist, thermostat negotiator, postal bookie • Hope – narrator, weary of turf wars and unexpected generosity • Curtis – sassmaster, booth tagger, professional thorn in their side • Lyle – gatekeeper of sludge, accidental referee of booth disputes Sound Stage • Jiffy Lube (the Booth Turf War Edition) – Sharpie squeaks on vinyl, shop hum, Styrofoam cup squeals, rookie wrench clatters, and sarcastic play-by-play from the peanut gallery. Sound & Style Immersive stereo with garage ambience, cheeky harmonica stings, and booth-side banter. Americana warmth collides with absurd commentary, turning a lube shop into an arena for turf wars, neighborhood gambling, and grudging generosity. For New Listeners Start with Episode 1 to understand how booths, bacon, and banter became sacred ground. Each episode stands alone, but the saga builds like burnt coffee on the bottom of a Styrofoam cup—layered, bitter, and weirdly endearing. Credits Written, scored, and produced by Brian Clark — brewed with screen reader wizardry, a microphone, and just enough Sharpie fumes to power a turf war.

Release Date: September 2025 Runtime: ~16 minutes Audio Format: Immersive fiction – comedy, Americana, absurdity Recommended Listening: Stereo headphones encouraged for best experience Episode Summary Back at the Polyester Lounge, John (Dusty) and Fred (Farts) discover that Bob has found new inspiration from an Internet meme. His latest scheme? Hosting a full-on Parking Lot Pugilism Pageant — complete with Marquis of Sheepsberry rules, goat referees, and Steve pressed into service as a carnival-style announcer. As always, Aria serves sass alongside coffee while the boys argue over thermostat settings that somehow escalate into a literal goat-punching contest. With bleats as the official scorecard and “gentleman’s temperature” as the hill to die on, the Polyester Lounge transforms into the most ridiculous fight club the Midwest has ever seen. Voices You’ll Hear • John (Dusty) – thermostat crusader, brawler by default, and defender of 74 degrees as “the gentleman’s temperature” • Fred (Farts) – coupon king, snack philosopher, and a man whose best punch might be a goat-slap • Aria – waitress, sassmaster, and unwilling referee to farm-animal fisticuffs • Steve – over-the-top carnival announcer forced into emcee duty • Hope – narrator, conspiratorial tour guide, and reluctant witness to the nonsense Sound Stage • The Polyester Lounge – cracked vinyl booths, clinking mugs, and Aria’s coffee pot patrol • The Parking Lot – echoing announcer mic, goat bleats, exaggerated slow-motion punches, and the faint hum of diner neon Sound & Style Immersive stereo sound with diner ambience, harmonica wipes, carnival echoes, and bleating goats. Americana warmth twisted into absurd banter and full-contact foolishness — a small-town showdown that lands somewhere between backyard wrestling and county-fair chaos. For New Listeners We recommend starting with Episode 1 for the full saga of booths, bacon, and begrudging tenderness. Each installment stands on its own, but the inside jokes, running gags, and goat references get richer with every cup of coffee. Credits Written, scored, and produced by Brian Clark — brewed with screen reader wizardry, a microphone, and just enough expired hot sauce to fuel 22 minutes of questionable pugilism.
