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.

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.
