All things being equal, I think this image -unburdened from context- is the most honest pitch for the "whole deal" of our show. If this image fills you with revulsion we are not for you. But if you smile to see it as you would an old friend? Well have we got a show for you!

Back in 2014 my friend Caitlin did a tarot reading with me. I had never interacted with tarot before other than that Home Improvement episode where one of the kids does a reading and draws the Death card and freaks out until somebody explains that tarot isn't real. That was the beginning and end of it for me. So I tried to just give myself over to Caitlin's reading and not be a smartass like I always am. Caitlin told me to close my eyes and breathe deeply and then she would draw a card that w...

As I was making these I came across another card (the five of coins) that's a way better fit for Torrin and The Beautiful Avoider. I've thought a lot about it and I've come down on the side of "tarot is wrong and I'm right."

Ah, the ten of cups. The most cups for your buck you can get out of tarot. That's what we in the business call "a great bargain." Perhaps others call it this, too. But we in the business would have no way of knowing. The business is a very insular world, you see. Lots of inbreeding. Many of us are beginning to look like those cave creatures from The Descent. Where was I? Oh yeah, the ten of cups. This card is unique in tarot because it doesn't symbolize anything. But that didn't stop me from ...

I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn, and we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them. And they will help us in return. Well, I don't know if I believe that's true but I know I'm who I am today because I knew you.

On the road to Athens, a young hunter found herself stuck on the wrong side of a raging river. She noticed an elderly woman sitting upon a ferry and offered her a freshly hunted rabbit in exchange for transport. Halfway across the river, the old woman took up her oar, allowing the current to guide the boat downstream.
“What are you doing? The object of my hunt (an armadillo wearing an orange peel as a hat) is back THERE! Because of you the river will now take us to places unknown! Thi...

Three of Swords. This is a sad one. A real loss, apparently. Not just depression but sorrow, apparently. But I was thinking, let me tell yah, I was thinking that maybe the problem is that the three swords in the card are impaling a HEART when they COULD be impaling- and this is what I was thinking- they could be impaling a WALNUT. Like the swords could break the walnut so then you could eat the walnut. Isn’t that a cool spin? Like, and this is me filling up the page, what if we replaced ALL...
