H Michael Croner (Groundlings, Big Bang Theory, What Would Diplo Do, commercials you’ve probably seen) joins Shaughn and Ellen to whine about his mom’s encouragement of a future with wife and kids.
The banter kicks in early but but first Shaughn and Ellen give the Hip Sip Tip. In honor of recording on Women’s Day Ellen shouts out Dutcher Crossing, a winery run by a woman! Shaughn pimps a beer: Maine Beer Company! Because he DOES fuck with IPA.
Then, H Michael gets into his beef. He loves his mom but dang–why does she always keep trying to inspire him to having a wife and kids?
Shaughn and Ellen pair it with a wine that was started by a man who worked by himself. They are sipping the 2016 Bedrock Old Vine Zinfandel. The owner started it and worked by himself for six years before taking on a partner!
Shaughn and Ellen concur the H Michael needs neither the “perfect partner” nor wine knowledge. Nor a home, but the recession is coming so no worries for anyone!
In between wine and kid talk they get into getting stoned, how H Michael is part of the prob and fixing it, and how his parents are champion retirees. You can also learn how to properly do spacework. And about dental surgery. And if you wanna get laid get Zin.
The lightning round covers millerandage, how Zin vines are trained, and what the birthplace of Zin is. Tune in and learn!
