#99: AMELIA BOONE + RYAN VAN DUZER

Amelia, Ryan & Tod Offend 96% of Humanity + a great meet cute story

AMELIA BOONE. RYAN VAN DUZER. You know who they are. If you don’t, you won’t learn that much about them in this episode, because we don’t really talk about the things that they’ve worked so darned hard to be known (at least partially) for. Instead, this episode is more about two super nice people who have come together in a great way (via this podcast…taking full credit here) to complement one another seamlessly and add even more wattage to their individual super shine. Yeah, I just typed that.

Due to the last episode’s rant against gun control, we lost our My Pillow sponsorship, meaning we couldn’t afford to pay the rent on our podcast studio in Steve Bannon’s garage. You might notice a slight dip in audio quality as a result, but rest assured we’ll have it fixed by our final episode, #100. As an aside, it is entirely possible that during out time at Bannon’s garage, we collected enough of Steve Bannon’s hair and skin dust that we think we’re close, with the help of our Chinese sponsor Xiami, to creating a cloned baby Bannon, who we plan on raising as super nicely as possible in a forward-thinking effort to create an anti-MAGA warrior with all the smarmy smarts of his progenitor and all the heart and empathy of Don Cheadle. Stay tuned!
