🎧 A Surreal Metaphor | Episode XI
This wasn’t supposed to be the episode. But it happened, we recorded it, and now it’s canon.
Episode XI starts with some low-grade chaos: voice tests, pharmaceutical tangents, a show that may or may not exist. Then Ryan calls in. And we spend the next hour and a half trying to figure out whether we’re friends, coworkers, or just people who keep accidentally podcasting together.
No lore this week. No planned bits. Just a long, strange conversation about apologies, performance, and whether anything means anything.
