In Which the Sanctity of the Pod Lair is Breached By Guest Jason Beers; We Discuss His Imaginary Musical Peeps, Sasquatch Theory; and the Sad Tale of Jason's Gorilla Suit

SINGER-SONGWRITER LAURA LISBETH AND CO-HOST SIMONE A.K.A. MONY WELCOME KANSAS CITY MUSICIAN JASON BEERS INTO THE POD LAIR. This episode spotlights Kansas City Musician Jason Beers. In addition to being a talented musician, Jason is the creator of an entire stable full of characters who, after being born in his head, live and perform under the benevolent umbrella of "Quilt" Records label. The "Quilt Records Family" is ever so slightly reminiscent of the good old SCTV Network and its fun, slightly unhinged characters. But we don't stop there: we cover Sasquatch, Rollercoasters, Gorilla Suits and much more.

We really want to not care so much. Laura declares that she will no longer be shamed. Their journey takes them to the days of Catholic School and their experiences with the nuns. Mony does a great impression of Fred Armisen's "Joy Behar" and muses about the way we censor ourselves sometimes, instead of trying out new creative things.
