In episode 18, we talk to our special guest Sam Turcotte: student, Bee Meadow Farm volunteer, and aspiring vet! You'll hear about talking muffins, avoiding burnout as a vet, why Russ hates Boston Cream doughnuts, dubious sweet potatoes, and more! Big thanks to Sam for joining us and being the voice of sanity for episode 18. Oh yeah, and a big shout-out to the fine people at Woodlands Campground!

"It’s like grandparents kissing - it’s fine!"

“Most people you only have to tell once. And the ones you don’t, you kill.”

"That’s why we don’t get sponsorships - Nat’s always uttering death threats"

“You know I’m a boomer because I forget what we were just talking about “

“I voluntarily came here to do this thing and now they’re talking about birthday-cake Oreos and assisted suicide”

"Fuck you to all the other vets, I’m her favourite. Suck it."

"That was a wild fucking ride, I gotta say!"

Welcome to episode 17, in which we are supposed to discuss hibernation, torpor, brumation, viking funerals, Russ' kinship with a bean-bag chair, insulting lemur names, the turtle that ran away, and SO MUCH MORE!

Listen to us mispronouce "brumation" as "brumination" for the entire episode!

"I'm all for Viking funerals!!" "If I were at your funeral, I would 100% shoot a flaming arrow into your raft!" "If I were to go to your funeral, I would hire a 20-year-old stripper to throw himself onto your casket... then dip."

"It's like I'm a beanbag chair hitting the floor"

"If you get dementia, I wanna visit you every day in the home for your sick-ass rap content!"

"I can't think of anything that rhymes with Russ."

"Can I put my cats on sleep mode... for just, like, a week?"

"They use the word arousal a lot, but it was in terms of them rising..."

"...from their treehole?"

"I'll tell you what's wrong with you: F*CKING NOTHING!"

On the visit from Russ's parents: "Did they bring chocolate?" "They brought something better.. a pew from a church! It's Snuffy's favourite seat now... until I drive some more farts into it."

"What the f*ck were we talking about?"

In this episode, Russ and Nat discuss waggle and other animal dances, groupies with flowers and wine, action figures, working in pajamas, and more. They also muse about why they aren't famous yet, and who their sponsor would be if they were.

“That’s just my metric! Someone mass-produced several million 11” versions of me… yeah, that’s cool!”

“It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times!”

“My *sshole grew another *shole that cringed…”’

"We be smirching that name all up and down these halls!"

Additional words of Russ-Nat wisdom:

"If you wanna be upset, be upset. I fyou wanna be happy, be happy. None of this (life) makes any sense. We are carbon-based people on a blue rock spinning through space.”

“If you wanna hang upside down from a hoop, hang upside down form a hoop!” Just don't fall and paralyze yourself.
