Episode 136: Conklin put oatmilk in my latte

The Pentertainment Podcast ·

2022/09/27

If this episode could be boiled down into one theme, it would be this: a consumer should get what they pay for. Whether it's lattes or high-end fountain pens, people deserve to spend their hard-earned money on something that will bring commensurate value. After all, in this current economic climate, we all need to be more conscientious about every dollar spent. We can ill afford to be wasting our money (or precious time) on puffery and broken promises. That being said, if you re-evaluate your

Episode 126: Crane vs Turtle

The Pentertainment Podcast ·

If a crane and a turtle got into a fight, who do you think would win? Why would a crane and a turtle fight, and does crumbling felt material have anything to do with it? Or maybe a six pack of beer plastic ring with a plastic straw? If Roy used a rollerball, what rollerball would he use if any? Are naps damaging to Roy's brain? Apparently.
