Let's get the New Year started with an episode that goes in a million directions. There's something for everybody here: Coffee, Gray Cats, Connie Sellecca. Pull up a barstool. You've arrived at DEAR POD.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 
Our intent was to give you a Year-In-Review episode. What we are giving you, is one of the most delicious, late, Christmas gifts from Patrick himself. A story of CONFIDENCE, STYLE and TRAGEDY of a little Spanish cat, told through the eyes of a little curly-headed boy from Chicago.
Your Welcome, America. 
Once again, Welcome To DEAR POD!

All I can say about this week's episode is that Patrick's story about Christmas in his basement in Chicago, wins Christmas now and forever.
For all of us and our at home the Maha'a Tiki Bar in the beautiful Pineapple Ranch, we wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS, a Happy and Healthy New Year, and many perfectly, crafted cocktails!

We still have a lot of holiday shopping left over here at the Maha'a Tiki Bar. But, Erin and Patty will always find the time to bitch about the clueless people who share a membership with them at their local gym. It makes me smile to watch their temperatures raise as the weather outside gets a little colder. Pull up a bar stool. We've been waiting for you.

C'mon Everybody. Let's all get in the car because we need to start our Christmas shopping. And, might I suggest that our first stop be the cheap but funsy, SERVICE MERCHANDISE. Nothing says Christmas to Erin and Patty like watching a fake Rolex and some extra stretchy sweatpants come chugging across the overhead conveyor belt. Next stop: CALDOR!

Sure. Most actors have audition "horror stories" but these two young, hungry, eager imbeciles were just plain clueless in their younger days. Get ready to judge Erin and Patty as they take you down "I'LL DO PRACTICALLY ANYTHING FOR A JOB LANE" in this week's episode of ha ha's and gasps.

Seventeen thousand people. Eight comics. Two redheads. One microphone.
Did Erin make it out without fainting or filling her diaper? 
Pour yourself a cold one and join us at The Garden. Cotten Candy is on me!

There's got to be at least two good reasons to live in New York City in this day and age. Right, Erin? Right, Patty? Just give them the time of this mini-sode and I'm sure they'll come up with somethings positive.
Right guys?...........................................................guys?

One good trauma story deserves another.
Erin takes us down the road of making her national daytime television debut on The Tamron Hall Show and why you should listen to your friends and just lie to people so you can become famous.
I'm not saying that's good advice, just practical advice.
Welcome To The Pod!

Our goal here, at DEAR POD is not only to entertain but to inform you. If we have to traumatize one of our hosts to tell a story in which you can hear the PTSD come through the microphones and into your ears, for your entertainment and education. Well, who are we to deny you good people of the quality show which you deserve? You may thank Patrick later.

Happy Halloween!
We're talking about all the creepy topics you've ask for: Cremation, Past Halloween Costumes and Mark Wahlberg as a Psychotherapist. I know. We are biting off more of than we can chew. 
But, then again...We Are DEAR POD.

I don't promise many things in this life. But today, I make this promise to you all: After listening to this week's podcast, I dare you to look at a Big Mac, Fries and a Shake the same way ever again. 
So many questions. 
So much crime in one little land. 
Can I have more ketchup please?

Erin went to BERGDORF GOODMAN this week and it wasn't in a dream. On top of that, they didn't kick her out of the store. For this and other stories that make you go, "Huh, I wonder where I put the flashlight", pour a drink and tune in to this week's episode.

Welcome to your first day of rehearsals for the classic American Musical, ANNIE. Now before we jump into learning the music, can we have all the orphans line up on this side of the room? Great. Now, you, little girl playing Molly. Daddy Warbucks is going to do a "trust fall" into your arms. If you drop him, that means you insult my family. Enjoy the show!

IT'S SEASON SIX!
We have been invading your ear-space for the past six years! 
And what have you learned?
No. Really. Have you learned anything from us? If you did, good for you!. Consider yourself a member of a very tiny, tiny, tiny, club where you are President, Secretary and Treasurer all rolled into one.
Let Jules shake a celebratory cocktail for all of us, and let's the jackassery begin!
New format. New feel. New underwear.
Welcome to the Maha'a Tiki Lounge in the beautiful Pineapple Ranch!

Apparently, they're coming. MOTH has bet the ranch on it. She's already looking towards the sky with a NO TRESPASSING sign in her hand. Wait...you don't know who MOTH is. Start at episode one and catch up when you can. You'll thank me later.

Are you ready to learn about Italian style buffet food? 80's haircuts? wearing someone else's skin? I thought so. You're in the right place. Grab a plate, ask for extra garlic bread, and let the show begin!

I'll bet you were just thinking, "Why don't more people go to business meetings or attend classes in their pajamas?" Good question. If you would like to hear two people tackle that question then go off on a tangent about Helen Hunt...then by all means, stick around.

Welcome again to the Pineapple Ranch. Please mind the Lantern Flys on your way in. We suggest that you not only step on them but please don't look our host, Erin Maguire, directly in the eyes when you enter the Maha'a Tiki Lounge. It will make sense when you see her. Best of luck.

Excuse me, Sir. If you want to listen to the latest episode of DEAR POD on this flight, you'll have to buy these airline approved headphones from us. If you would like a soda, that's free. We just charge for the ice. Per cube. 
Enjoy!
