And they're back. Back in the House of Mirrors, where the conversation begins with a serious analysis of how Godwin's Law applies to Permission to Podcast. The gang naturally progresses from there to Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Separation and of course, Game of Thrones, which leads to the question of watching nudity with your friend's wife. Before it's all they cover the NBA Finals, iWatches, and lessons learned in driving school. The night is wrapped up with a lively discussion about extreme selfies and how to brake that fall - Stop! Hammer Time!

#86: Zany Ding Dong Stories (Or Boobie Eskimo Brothers)

The Gang is back and broadcasting from the Cave of Thrones. The conversation starts with Gil's account of his showdown at a local burger joint, Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star is Born are re-reviewd, and Belia relates her adventures on a cruise to Mexico. The evening wraps up with another Marco story and a horrowing tale of being served. Don't answer the door!

#85: I Eat Salads! (Or NO, Let Us Buy YOU a Drink)

For the second week in a row, the gang is back, this week joined by the always elusive Sicilian Mushroom. The show starts with a shout out to their sponsor Marco in the form of a story about his exploits. From there they launch right into the current hot topic R. Kelly. Of course this leads to a discussion of the Jussie Smollet incident. The conversation then gets heated when this leads to MAGA, fake news, and the Left v the Right. Tempers calm for a bit when talk turns to what it really means to be Middle Class - until Gil gets excited, explaining his loathing for Best Picture nominee Bohemian Rhapsody. Any way the wind blows...

#84: The Whores from Back Home (Or Hate Crime? I Need Proof)

The Permission to Podcast gang is back. Returning to the House of Mirrors, they cover such topics as Marco's Boy Scout days, the current state of emergency, and the sad revelation that one of them has a closet smoking habit. They even get a surprise call from a familiar voice to weigh in.

#83: Anybody Want a Cigarette? (Or The Halo Jump Badge)

After two months since the last episode, the gang reunites at The House of Mirrors, where gifts are shared along with a new commercial and mammaries of Vegas. Talk soon turns from plans for a spring trip to current events and finally the recent mid- term elections, where we quickly learn that those in the studio (except perhaps one) have no idea what the difference between public, private, and charter school is. Do you?

#82: We're Doing This for Marco (or Not Tylenol - Titties)

The Core Four were down to three, now they're down to two as Gil has decided to become a Friend of the Pod.  Tonight, the Core Two are down to one as Al decided to stay home (maybe because, like the drummer from Def Leppar, he only has one arm).  So, Ron was joined by Gil and Belia at his house (Whose house?), where things got started with a lively discussion about the outlawing of straws.  They progress from there to a favorite topic of the pod, the current state of the Union, specifically all the news about our President (it HAS been a long time).  The conversation progresses from there to elevators or stairs, behavioral units, and Seinfeld.  Another podcast full of drama, intrigue, and drunk talk.  Welcome to the next chapter of Permission to Podcast...

#80: The 2nd Annual Permy Awards

With Al out of town, Gil and Ron take the show on the road and podcast from Final Round, joined by Belia and Steph.  They begin innocently enough with Steph describing her search for employment and her confession that she name dropped to get a job. The conversation then turns to Steph's new local watering hole and her and Belia's escapades in Notth Scottsdale, which eventually leads to the revelation that their realtionship may be perceived as more intimate than they're comfortable with. Eventually, the gang is joined by Joe, who made it possible to use Final Round as a venue, and chat briefly about politics and political correctness. The conversation then wraps up with fashion talk with Belia, and Steph attempting to revoke permission...

#79: Everybody Thinks We're Lesbians (or Do You Know About Pi?)

Ron and Gil meet up with Belia and Stephanie (referred to as Stelia going forward) at the house of mirrors. We start the show talking about Stephanie's arrival to Phoenix (from Chicago) and what she likes and dislikes. We then talk about how to get a good haircut and Stelia talk about their drive and how horrible it was. We switch over to discussing how different men and women rate the opposite sex and how people can’t be a train-hopping hobo anymore (somebody tell Albert). We then switch the conversation onto the future of the podcast and discuss the finer points about editing the podcast. Afterwards, we review Stephanie's future job prospects. The atmosphere turns more somber when Stelia share a #MeToo moment at a party they attended. After we take a few phone calls, our crew is able to quickly get the victim on the phone to share the terrifying details. We then talk about people who eat smelly food at work and end the show with some final thoughts about our new friend of the pod, Stephanie, and how we are going to find a job for her.

#78: #MeToo For Dudes

Once again in The Cave of Thrones the Core Three welcome Belia and very special guest and notorious White Whale Palermo.  The show begins with a discussion of Palermo's love of Betty Page, but then jumps quickly to his views on the detainment issue south of the border, the continuing soap opera that is Gil's and Belia's mom's life, and Palermo's return to the single life.  Eventually, the conversation comes full circle before fading out on another classic debate: abortion.

#77: Old as F?#k Place (or The Betty Page Continuum)

Once again, the Core Three are at the Cave of Thrones, discussing why they didn't podcast last week. In a word: drunk. In five words: drunk at The Iron Maidens.  From here the talk turns to kids in cages, which then degenerates into a disagreement over whether the US should be in the business of building walls.  Which eventually leads to talk about Dennis Rodman making the Trump - Un summit possible, who could talk Al and Gil down from a tower and B-52 respectively, and finally fascist liberals. But the burning question this week? How old IS Ron anyway?

#76: The Macaroni and Cheese Trail (or "What's the G Word")

The core group is back in the cave of thrones. We start the show discussing the recent Supreme Court ruling regarding a religious baker not wanting to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. This leads us to a discussion about the "No Shirt No Shoes No Service". We then discuss President Trump considering legalizing weed and he can pardon people who are abuse by the police. We switch to talking about the recent discovering that methane was discovered on Mars but what does that mean? Also, we talk about the media obsession with the whereabouts of Melania Trump which creates an opportunity to rank-order the first ladies based on hotness. We also talk about the changes to the Miss America pageant, championship sports teams not wanting to attend the White House, and then we revisit police brutality. Finally, we talk about a documentary called "The Final Year" that follows the Obama administration through the last 12 months and how he handled the anniversary of the U.S. dropping the A-bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Then we review the "Solo" movie and social justice segments in more recent Star Wars movie. We end the show with a discussion on the NBA Finals with Lebron's Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Kevin Durant's Golden State Warriors and how Dennis Rodman can be an ambassador to other nations.

#75: #MeToo-D2

The Core Three are back in action and in The Cave of Thrones. After two weeks the gang has plenty to talk about. Starting with the obvious Rosanne debacle they move on to legalized gambling, Donald Trump news, Gil's new business idea that turns out not to be all that new, and Donald Rump news. They finally round the show out with movie reviews and a deadpool update in an episode that has more endings than Return of the  King.

#74: Uberdope (Or My Mom's Not a Racist Per Se...)

The Core Three broadcast from The Cave of Thrones this week, where Gil and Belia tell of their mother's sketchy birthday dinner before the conversation turns to the Correspondence Dinner Controversy, the untimely death of Vern Troyer, and another tale of Kanye West's mouth run amok. They follow that up with the problem with Apu, a discussion about fathers, and the concept of catfishing, which someone or something clearly doesn't want Belia to research...

#73: RIP Mini Me (or Who's Your Daddy...Redd Foxx?)

The Core Three kick off this week's episode at The House of Mirrors with another rumination on the lurking fear and seeming danger of AZ Mills Mall then jump right into Round 3 of the Red for Ed debate.  They then switch gears to food allergies, stinky coworkers, and the revelation of Belia's "disgusting" work habit, before downshifting to a more somber ending. But how long can they really maintain a serious tone?

#72: Beverly the Flatulent (or Anybody Want a Peanut?)

Podcast from a group of friends in Tempe, Arizona. Topics will be random.
