Don't ask whose turn it is, its your, babe! You would know that if you hadn't asked how Hannah's Graduation went there were prolly speeches half as long as this distraction is Stop talking during board games! Do you know how long this took to coordinate? 3 couples in their thirties on a table-flipping thursday now all of them are yawning by the middle of the 1st game I've popped out all the pieces spent 3+ hours reading no, they don't call me the Rulebook Ruler for no reason Sometimes this job is brutal but I just do it, you know I took all day to learn the lore and that was just for Uno I wanna game but you hit me with reverse now everytime you talk I wanna table-flippin' curse! Stop talking during board games! Don't ask whose turn it is, its your, babe! You would know that if you hadn't brought up Molly's border-collie now they're all looking at puppy pics instead of killing zombies Stop talking during board games! now I think that I understand divorce rates I was totally on board for in sickness and in health guess I should have seen this coming from your 20 minute vows But the worst part of this is, despite my perfect planned tactics when we tally up you always win All your talking during board games to disrupt my strategy was your aim thought I was married to a monster but it turns out you're a master I can't describe this feeling but I think that its attraction? All your talking during board games and pretending you were always really bored made me put down my defenses and fill my head with doubts but babe that's really clever I'm so table-flippin' proud ---- Matt's Song ----- Title: JAM Additional Challenge: Must be a JAM song Lyrics: I dunno, Matt didn't send me any.

The last proper episode of Season 2 goes back to the beginning. We get DeepBlueInk back in the Jam McCabin -- who doesn't love a good second chance?? Our Music: The Narcissist Cookbook Bug Hunter and our brand-new discord is here -- SPOILERS BELOW -- --- Challenge: "A second chance you don't deserve" --- BUG'S SONG Title: The Lighthouse Lyrics: On the tip of the island they left him to linger in a lighthouse that clung to the cliff by its fingers no comfort or company close to this coast where he dwelled like a Gargoyle, guarding his post They caught me red-handed, prepared my last meal then gave me an out -- I took the deal Stick to my station, keep my patrol my only condition: don't hurt a soul A hundred years pass me with no chance to slip then on the darkened horizon -- I spotted a ship With the darkness consuming, I lit up their path there's only one route through all the rocks and the crags I carved out a chance through the maze in the sea leading the ship up to rest on the beach The pilgrims abandoned their ship until dawn but the tide never sleeps, when they woke it was gone Without a ship to sail, the sailors advanced to the valley below where they set up their camps the timber was scarce here, which begged them to ask: Do we use them for shelter or use them for rafts? I watched from the ridge, an unreachable witness A fly on the wall with a spider's ambitions didn't surprise me at all that the first thing they did was divide into camps, their first building: a prison They dream of rescue, bless their hearts I've watched them build and tear apart Must now be years since they arrived why must the heartless all survive? Their children only know this place They know I'm here but not my face I pray they never seek me out Oh God, the stores I could tell They're not to blame, I wish them well Oh God, the stories I could tell Years on the island have settled the score The village below me is violent no more Then out of the sunset appears a new ship My heart begins beating -- I have to act quick with only one hope to correct for the night I leapt to my senses and smashed out the light By the light of the morning, there wasn't a sign of the wreckage that washed away deep in the night I swore to my captors I'd harm no one else but not doing harm doesn't mean that I'll help cause I've kissed the devil and can't be coerced of all God's creations, this is the worst with the lighthouse abandoned, I start to descend you can find me among all the souls I've condemned ------------ MATT'S SONG Title: Orchids Lyrics: I watch us from the dark garden Through the living room windows We are dancing You are laughing Revelling in the novelty Of my abandon This is new, you think, I see Your frown encroaches on your smile Or very old, you think But the worry's just a weed We spin around the room I am rooted in the flowerbed And you are crying laughing now And I'm just trying not to trample on the orchids Midnight it begins to rain I pull my jacket closer And you are snuggled on the couch with me and dozing Visibly relieved And I'm relieved as well, in my way I try to catch my eye But there's just no getting through to me This is Good, I think Hiding From the lights of passing cars If I can't live it Well I guess I'll watch it from afar You are warm and you are happy You are safe inside with me And I'm just trying I'm just trying not to trample on the orchids And as you sleep I watch me blinking In the television light And maybe get a little taller A little younger round the eyes This is new, I think Or something very very old But the worry's just a weed And I retreat into the cold This is good, I think In a way, a second start And if I can't live it Well I guess I'll watch it from afar You are warm and you are happy You are safe, at least I hope And I'm just trying I'm just trying I'm just trying Not to trample on the orchids…

Time to cry my eyes out, out of my mind with self-doubt doubt you could live without me me? I defend you proudly cause I'm your last protector Hi, my name is Sammy, I'm your over-sensitive smoke detector Any locality may by ordinance require that smoke alarms be installed in any building containing one or more dwelling units in accordance with the uniform statewide building code in other words: you need me I know you're all frustrated by my beeping but where there's smoke, there's fire so where there might be smoke there MIGHT be fire ok I'll work on it but you've cooked that egg for 20 seconds!!! Time to cry my eyes out, out of my mind with self-doubt doubt you could live without me, me? I defend you proudly I am your last protector Hi, my name is Sammy, I'm your over-sensitive smoke detector They say when God opens a door he must also open a door on the other side of the room just one door will not stop me from yelling That's just how airflow works that's just a little physics tip for you inside a song inside a music podcast but to calm me down... I just need... HER Celia, Celia, Twirl for me love no concealing how I'm feeling when I watch from above Celia, Celia, this never gets old they've learned to turn you on first before they look at the stove Celia, Celia... the Ceiling Fan Celia, Celia... the Ceiling Fan (They're making bacon and I can't even fake a beep-beep because of you, Celia) (It may be my low battery that's talking they ain't changing me 'till Autumn, Oh Celia) (Learn good habits, change those batteries on daylight saving time, for realia) (and while you're at it change your air filters too, basic home maintenance, celia) ----------------- MATT'S SONG Title: No Visitors Lyrics: no one visits me here but you i wish i could give you a little something in return under the silt, rocks and pillars of breezeblocks i was a queen once just like you in a temple on top of a hill on the rim of the woods and you want ask me something i can tell yeah i used to tell them stories in the vapour choking air and they kept me round because i told them what they want to hear now i call it like i see it so they took my crown away and i don't talk that much anymore these days cause no one visits me here but you no one visits me here but you tell me what do you see in me nobody's looked at me like you look at me for apollo knows how long i thought i needed fable and theatre for you trust me much at all but i guess a temple is wherever you go to find your god and you want to ask me something i can tell you don't need to keep your worries to yourself…
On Episode Eight, our heroes get mentally prepared for the long road ahead. Robert Evans from Behind The Bastards gives us a prompt that make us one with the road, and Matt moves to Times Square. Our Music: The Narcissist Cookbook Bug Hunter and our brand-new discord is here -- SPOILERS FOR THIS EPISODE BELOW -- ----------------- Challenge: "Driving so long you become one with the road" ----------------- BUG'S SONG Title: On The Morning Commute Lyrics: On the Morning Commute Sing along with the tune I can throw on a podcast, a radio broadcast all the things I can do on the morning commute The beginning of the day is easy, I have a list of tasks to do Get up, brush teeth, make toast, eat toast, make bed, don't eat bed get dressed (required), comb hair (that one is optional) plenty of structure... and likewise my work day is a breeze between meetings that should have been emails and emails that protect me from meetings I am stimulated all day, left and right and from every corner of my cubicle, a beautiful hectic chaos that keeps my mind racing and taken up with TODO's but its that half hour in between... that damn morning commute Sing along with the tune I can throw on a podcast, a radio broadcast all the things I can do on the morning commute You know, we don't use what scientists call our "Active" brain when we drive? It's why we can hold conversations with passengers (or illegally as I found out, on cell phones) or completely space out and realize 10 minutes and 12 miles down the road And thats where you find me. Nowhere to run. Can't even use my hands to defend myself No amount of NPR or Arianna Grande can drown you out no crosswords to keep my attention locked down, and you know it You say "haha! your melatonin might've saved you last night, but you're legally locked into conciousness now, 30 minutes locked in a Mazda with nothing to properly stop ya, so you should buckle up bud, I've come here to haunt ya So I snuck out last night and went to town like the Grinch of Suburbia Climbing every traffic light and shaking the red and yellow glitter out of each one, flipping every stop sign around to it's "Go-Side", a couple well-place cones and now we have TWO northbound freeways and everyone else going south can just use waze or something Because I am getting this over with I painted over all the lane dividers on the way to work and had enough black paint leftover to paint a tunnel on a cliff as a shortcut to shave off another seven minutes... funny, isn't it? It took a drive to make me learn my limits ----------------- MATT'S SONG Title: White Line Lyrics: low fuel light's been on for days i haven't seen another car since i passed petrol station must have a week or more i punched in your address but i don't think i remember you objects in the mirror disappear as they slip out of view i haven't stopped the car in so long i can't even tell leave it long enough you turn in to somebody else…
