Summary

On episode #164, Linds leads us into The Shallow End with the grim tale of a mortician who found a creative way to cremate bodies more “efficiently.” It’s simple science, actually. Why cremate just one body at a time when you can fit 10 or 12 bodies in the same oven? What could possibly go wrong? Then JG takes us to the shores of Texas’ Gulf Coast, where a young man named Chad saw something so sweet wash up on the beach, he just had to plant a big ol’ kiss on it! Young men in their early 20s, fueled by a thirst for summer adventures and a few too many beers, equals guaranteed hilarity! Slather on the sunscreen and join us in The Shallow End!

0:00.0	It began long ago, two young boys in an American town riding their bikes to school and little league practice.

0:45.6	Yeah.
0:46.1	It's really, yeah.
0:46.9	What was it named one of the top 100 podcasts about Hollywood?
0:52.2	Yeah.
0:52.9	Yeah.
0:53.3	That was a nice little national recognition. They have a
0:57.6	huge guest coming up for their 100th episode, which drops in a few weeks. And in celebration of
1:06.0	that milestone of 100 pods, they recorded just yesterday, episode 98, which was really interesting.
1:12.4	They did a behind the scenes interview with J.P. Richie, who is their associate producer and
1:20.8	chief researcher, and me as executive producer and post-production supervisor, editor.
1:30.1	And so we did a stream yard interview with the four of us on video,
1:35.1	and it ran just under an hour.
1:37.2	We'll cut it down to something much more manageable.
1:40.1	But it was really interesting having Steve and Nan interview JP and me about our love of movies,
1:47.6	what got us into liking old movies, our experiences.
