With a new intro where we announce a live episode recording in Los Angeles (on 9/6/24)!

With a new, smoother overall edit to our conversation, today we revisit an episode from 2022 where we break down Goodnight Moon with Chad Daniels who just released his first Netflix stand-up special Empty Nester.

They boys talk about how it's hard to have a "good night" when your child is kicking you in your own bed; Kellen has a pitch for a fun demonic toy; Dave brings up the weird, dark backstory behind the author; and Chad brings up a dark salsa commercial from the 90's (do you know the one?)
