31. OurFirstMarriage #78: Alcohol Fueled Podcast
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 25.12Mb)

Description: Tom found a “family” podcast listing website that absolute doesn’t want us. WTF?! Is it bad to drink or not to drink? More selfish parents. What scars your children?

Description: Captain Evil is self weaning and Tanel is down about it. At only 2 years old! Tom’s irritated (shocking) about someone trying to convert him.

36. OFM #73: About Canadians and Pat
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 25.51Mb)

Description: Cry it out for the last time… we swear (all thanks to Monster Cookies). Tom thinks that Canadians are too nice. If it works for you does that make it OK? Um… no.

http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 24.17Mb)

http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 24.97Mb)

Description: Tanel and Tom had a new babysitter for a week and discuss. Being PC means you can’t have a conversation about anybody… or if you do, you can’t describe them in any way… or if you do you can only use certain words… and even then only if you’re the right race… You get the [...]

46. OurFirstMarriage #63: Being Neurotic
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 27.49Mb)

Description: fightEaster weekend was fun but tiring. Tanel distracted Tom before he could tell you what a crawfish is. Take our word for it, they are quite good boiled.

50. OurFirstMarriage #59: Web of Lies
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 23.33Mb)

Description: Remember that conversation a while back about truth? Time to man up and admit that apparently we need to practice what we preach. Tom doesn’t have a concept of time or is he just lazy? You decide. Who’s fault was it that Tom overslept? Tanel’s of course. Tom sets a new rule and reveals a [...]
