What happens when two people who love to talk are put on the same podcast? Epic-length show!
Andrew from Two Loose Screws stops by to discuss anything and everything, including Andrew’s Vine fame (Look him up – username: M3JCNV), the horrors of working retail during the holidays and returned mince meat pies, and the country song-like ballad of Grandma’s Tiny Christmas Tree.
I’m officially a member of #PodPals, Hooray! I finish Dragon Age: Inquisition, fail at doing so on Twitch, and finally try Destiny, which is pretty fun.
Hackers are bullshit assholes, both at home and abroad.
We go deep with a discussion about the Doctor Who Christmas Special, The Last Christmas. It’s a Mating Habits tradition.
New Episode Segment: May Fair Andrew
Andrew plays the Audrey Hepburn to my Rex Harrison (go watch some great classic movies, damn it!) in a new segment called: “My Fair Andrew” where we follow his progress as he builds his self-confidence and gets better at meeting and talking to new people. We’ll be checking in on him as the weeks go by to follow his progress through different challenges that should help him get better at socializing with strangers and building confidence. Wish him luck!
Pro-tip: Don’t ask people questions like, “How much does your skin weigh on its own?”
You won’t get advice of this quality anywhere else – guaranteed.
Tables get flipped over strangers arguing with me on OKC, and Andrew likes to keep it vanilla, and that’s just fine. He has enough personality that he doesn’t need your flashy flavors!

Prob’ly the BEST episode of the new year! I’ve got this episode on repeat! Great job, everyone! ;D
One of my favorite podcasts (Fast Karate for the Gentleman) had a contest a couple years ago with the terms of submitting the best ice cream flavor. I submitted vanilla for the exact reasons mentioned in this episode; mostly that it’s the base for most other flavors and otherwise the vessel of all toppings and mixings. I won and have the t-shirt to prove it.
You, sir… you’re good people. And what was on the shirt you won? Nothing with a random TARDIS in the background, I suspect?
Their baby bomb shirt. Still one of my favorite shirts.
Stop trying to come in here and poach one of my new co-hosts for your “AlphaCounter Co-host Stable,” Sean. Don’t think I can’t see what you’re doing with all you flirty ice cream chat-up lines. “Oh, I won an award.” “Oh, I’ve been on other podcasts, as well as host several of my own.” You’re dispicable!
