Quotes

Dan: Hey! Hey cat! [...] That's a little podcast bonus for you: me yelling at my cat. Everyone will enjoy that.

Andy: I don't — do you normally — I don't think I've ever heard you yell at your cat.

Dan: Normally she doesn't claw at the furniture in the middle of a podcast.

Stuart: She, you know, has a sense of decorum normally. Not today.
