Summary

The guys catch up about Christian’s experience at PorchFest this year, the annual Connecticut tradition where bands set up stages on neighborhood porches (and how Christian didn’t move from his porch the whole time). Justin recounts the walk down memory lane he and Kate had after having Hibachi at the Sakura Japanese restaurant in Westport, CT. Then we read a letter from Kathy about how afternoon sex is the best and that noses contain erectile tissue (hence Justin’s broken capillary issue), then she ends it with the saddest WYR we’ve ever heard. Finally, Courtney leaves a voicemail asking for the guys to break down Office Space, and she offers up a much sillier WYR.

1:28.5	childhoods. Okay, that's good. I want to talk about that. I think you did a good job of teasing.
