Episode 144 - Bro. Zach Smith

Hello! On this Special Episode, the hosts were invited to the DeMolay KeyMan Conference at Patton Campus at the Masonic Villages in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. Never letting a good opportunity go to waste, we decided to record our first ever live show with an audience. We interview some of the organizers and facilitators of the event and DeMolay in general, as well as some of the young men in the DeMolay program. After a great conversation and the return of Dutchie Doug, we wrap with the KeyMan Farmyard Animal Glee and Supper Club supporting Larry and the Farmyard Brunch Bunch in the largest collaborative effort for good-will since “We Are the World.”

Episode 147 - Bro. Sean Rothberg

Hello MLP listeners, this is Josh.

You may or most likely have not noticed that we've been on hiatus for the last few weeks.  With health concerns and other real life events taking priority, we've not been able to release any new content so we've decided to pause our Patreon for the time being. 
In our absence, please enjoy the original 3 Dutchie Doug episodes, followed by an unreleased segment that was recorded for the new year.  Because, let's face it, he's the only reason you listen anyway.

MLP Dougathon

Hello! The hosts have returned to the digital plane to once again face the forces of darkness and…..record an episode. No guest, just catching up and gently reacquainting ourselves with the cavernous space beneath the liquor store that we call home. In conclusion, Larry.
