#86: Zany Ding Dong Stories (Or Boobie Eskimo Brothers)
Monday Apr 29, 2019
Monday Apr 29, 2019
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!

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!

#84: The Whores from Back Home (Or Hate Crime? I Need Proof)
Saturday Mar 02, 2019
Saturday Mar 02, 2019
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...

Friday Nov 16, 2018
Friday Nov 16, 2018
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?

#81: The Great Elevator Debate (or A Cute Phychosis)
Thursday Sep 06, 2018
Thursday Sep 06, 2018
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...

Tuesday Jul 24, 2018
Tuesday Jul 24, 2018
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...

#78: #MeToo For Dudes
Monday Jul 16, 2018
Monday Jul 16, 2018
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.

#77: Old as F?#k Place (or The Betty Page Continuum)
Thursday Jul 05, 2018
Thursday Jul 05, 2018
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.
