Again, sorry about the title. I'm just trying to put a happy face on the holiday rage and depression that's happening here. The cast is clearly fried. There is no clever narrative to describe the ramblings of these madmen. Here are the main bullet points: Lauren and Ellie's Xmas Josh's Xmas Mike's Xmas Ellie's Unrelated Story Wii Tangent QVC Tangent Lauren's Sick Kid Tantrum Gerald McRaney Lauren's Unrelated Story Ellie's Cookies. May God have mercy on these poor fools. Happy New Year!

The title may be a bit misleading. The cast has spent a lot of time together over the holidays and have very little to say to each other. This podcast has been edited to prevent listener suicide. Mike, Ellie, and Josh are exhausted and sick. Weak actors, they are unable to handle a normal work schedule and they've squandered what little energy they have on listening to NPR, teaching, and pitiful attempts to celebrate the season. Merry Christmas!

What else is there to say, the cast tries to talk about a number of different subjects but no mere topic can over power the thick sexual tension that's happening between Bobby and Lauren. It may be a one way road for now but the winter is long and Bobby is tenacious. Best of luck you star crossed lovers!

Mike, Lauren and Josh discuss the weather which leads to the Lauren Anderson grumpy train pulling into the station. Mike, the Tim Gunn of the Brave new Institute, avoids the steam powered rage machine by bringing up something we can all agree on, Project Runway. However, this train is making no stops, NO STOPS! Lauren loves Minnesota, and defends it tooth and nail whether someone is attacking it or not. Somewhere in the mayhem the cast answers the question, " what makes us who we are?" Feeling lost? Tune in.

Good Morning Brave New Workshop! On today's podcast the cast celebrates Thanksgiving and their "number"! Lauren's gonna treat you to a little ditty, Ellie's back out there, Bobby's creepy, and Mike learns that pimpin' ain't easy! The cast may have Type 2 Diabetes!

After a brief podcast hiatus while the cast opened their new Christmas show, "Brett Favre's Christmas Spectacular: The Immaculate Interception", they are back and they've brought Mike back with them. But they lost Joe somewhere along the way. Lauren's so happy to be back she belts out a couple musical classics. Ellie's so excited that she feels uncomfortable. And Bobby's so giddy that he can't let one joke die before he's had his way with it. This podcast should plaese every demographic. tan·gen·tial (tn-jnshl) also tan·gen·tal (-jntl) adj. Def. Only superficially relevant; divergent

Recorded on Halloween, the cast discusses their costumes. Bobby isn't sure yet, Josh is... it doesn't matter, James is a Leprechaun (which explains why he's so quiet, he's only 3 inches tall), Lauren is a tropical fish, and Ellie has a costume too! Nobody ever asked Joe. Bobby is gassy from Lauren's mom's chili, we're all in trouble. Wait! Ellie's gassy too! Kids, beware the cautionary tale of Bobby Gardner and here are some cute costume ideas! What a way to close a show. If you didn't get to see it, come see our Christmas show, Brett Favre's Christmas Spectacular; Or The Immaculate Interception!!!

The cast, cramped in their halway, discusses the first snow of the year that some of the lazier members missed. The Brave New Workshop is the greenest theater in the city. Thank you! Thank you! And Josh is getting married. Everything is just about perfect. Here's hoping Bobby doesn't screw it up.

Lauren, Broppy Piper and Joe deliver their homework assignments after a brief discussion about the amazing things anxiety and nyquil can do to one's dreams. Lauren's A+ report on KFC is finger lickin' hilarious. Broppy follows with a report on Arby's. Lower quality franchise = lower quality report. Like Arby's meat, Bobby receives a grade D. Joe caps it off with his surprise report on Broppy's Disease - Simplex A+

Oh boy everybody, Lauren is on one! Maybe it's the homework that's due. Ellie will finally give her report on mime. Will she deliver it from within a box, or perhaps against a strong wind? Josh delivers his report on the Candiru that will make it burn when you pee. Lauren gives her own report on despair and aggression. Tune in next week for Joe, Bobby and Lauren's real report.
