Ghosts of Holidays Past

Winter is Coming. Actually, It's Here.

The poor La brothers...freezing cold in their ramshackle house in Schenectady, NY, trying to plan for the future while staying warm in the present. But they are not daunted as they spitball possible artistic endeavors for the new year.

The F Bomb

The La brothers discuss a post that re-defines the concept of failure beyond its inherently negative reputation.

Ghosts of Holidays Past

With 2025 freshly born, the La brothers reminisce about the many insane holidays they've had in the past. One memory involves an ugly scene on the set of Friends, and another a chance encounter with Truman Capote's ghost in the restroom at Washington Square Park. And then there are the family Christmases... Theme music "The Trapezist" by Quincas Moreira.
