309 - Lisa from Salt Lake with the Big Belts
WE. ARE. BACK! Our summer break was INCREDIBLE, pardon me. Or at least we assume it was since we're in the Time Machine. But, come on, it probably was. We've got a fabulous little episode for our first show back, too. After some talk about how horrifying crabs are and how Stanley Cups are very much not "in" anymore, we've got a follow-up from the introverted boss and give advice on two questions: how to handle a possible workplace mutiny and how to balance family needs back home with your own needs when you live abroad. And if you weren't already looking forward to the holidays, here's something else to add to your list: we're coming back to New York! Ronnukah LIVE! is headed to the Bell House on November 21st for TWO shows! For those in the know, Ronnukah is our favorite time of year, and the fact that we're going LIVE this season is something we're VERY excited about!

307 - Down For a Good Baiting
Ronna's ready to record, even if she's sitting at a toddler table in a spare bedroom. But don't blame her.

We're off this week, but we've still got a treat in store for you, excuse me. Here's a little taste of a recent Patreon episode that we thought was particularly fun!

Then it's on to the million comments we got on Racecar Bed's letter from two weeks ago about flirting with the waiter. You all had a LOT to say about it, so much so that we have to re-read the letter and reconsider our initial advice. Then we hear follow-ups from the boundary-pushing artist mother, an autistic perspective on that 'platonic no more' friendship, and the bi daddy with the mash potato wife. It's a BIG show this week!
