Barbara gets flustered with Mr. Charming.

DL007 Act 1 – The Art of Seduction

We twins revisit one of our favorite bored-person books, THE ART OF SEDUCTION by Robert Greene. Are you a Seducer or Victim? And which type? Join us for a thrilling jaunt through history, literature, and love.

Plus, Vera dishes on our star-turn in season 7 of RENO 911! (now on Quibi) and the power of negative thought.

ALSO… please check out our vintage twinterview with ROBERT GREENE on our former podcast The Slap Booth Show, all the way back in 2012!

DL006 Act 2 – All The Fucking Mistakes

The fun continues with our second act! Herpes vs. computer; which virus is easier to catch? And also – porn! Plus, Vera explores her “place of lac” as the mystery of Toluca Lake lake deepens.

Please enjoy this commercial for the Odyssey Video store, home to Barbara Ann Duffy, Vera Duffy, and Ron Jeremy.

DL006 Act 1 – All The Fucking Mistakes

Our review of Gigi Engle’s ALL THE FUCKING MISTAKES is so astounding it can only be a multi-act production! Join us now for Act 1, where we discuss cat-calling street pervs, secret urethras, and stigma that’s silly as fudge.

Bur first, our call to the public for naughty words. There’s still time to email yours in! Do it, Booty Chicken!

DL005 – Love in the Time of Cholera

WE DID IT! WE FINISHED THE BOOK! Discover why it took us so long, and Vera’s explanation of why a damn parrot’s on the book cover. And then….

…as promised in our intro, a very specific list of ways to support the #BlackLivesMatter movement:

1. Order from a BLACK-OWNED RESTAURANT
You can find one near you on this list of lists.

2. DONATE to a cause
Here is another list of lists, but if you want us to choose for you, consider Black Lives Matter, Reclaim The Block, or the good ol’ ACLU.

3. EDUCATE yourself by watching 13TH
Ava DuVernay’s documentary reveals the historical relationship of race, economics, and mass incarceration in the United States, and Netflix has made it available FOR FREE on YouTube. (Spoiler: Police abuse against America’s Black citizenry is not by accident, but by design.)

John Oliver’s “Police” episode of LAST WEEK TONIGHT is also informative and also free on YouTube.

4. Read up on #DEFUNDPOLICE
Does it sound scary? It’s not. It’s just catchier than #REALLOCATE-FUNDS-TO-MORE-APPROPRIATE-AGENCIES-BECAUSE-SIMPLY-REFORMING-POLICE-ISN’T-WORKING. Here’s a short article to get you on your way. And after you do that…

5. TELL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES to #DEFUNDPOLICE
SUPER easy. These are PRECOMPOSED EMAILS with the appropriate recipients already added, and all it takes is a few clicks.
i. Visit Defund.email
ii. Find your city (or fill out the form to have yours added).
iii. “Allow” the website to compose an email.
