    Hey Stinks! Thank you sitting with us (for the last time for season one!) on the Wet Bench!


    It's the ELEVENTH Episode!


    Thank you again to Garrett for talking monster high with us, we had an incredibly time with him and hopefully our path will cross again in the future. This episode, we talk more about the Monster High influences as Owen goes in depth on what Monster High means to him as Garrett shares anecdotes of similar stories he's heard in his time at conventions. And we get a sneak peek into his newest and upcoming project, Gravestone Guardians!


    Thank you so much for joining us for the entirety of season one! putting this season together has been a true joy, and a huge learning experience for us both. Our understanding of what this show should be is at an all-time high and our understanding of how best we can sustainably run it is, now, also at an all-time high. We expect to be back soon with some short form content so you don't miss us too much. We do already have some things in the pipeline to get together for you. But season two will be happening., and it will be bigger and better than ever :)


    CW: This episode is a very laid back and relaxed one. It's an interview, so there's none of our personal stories in this one which tend to be the triggering stuff (I don't know what that says about us?) but just lay back and enjoy the company :)

    Hey Stinks! Thank you for sitting with us at the Wet Bench!


    This is a very special episode. Not only is it our first ever interview, it's none other than Owen's childhood hero, Garrett Sander! Together, the three of us uncover the creation process behind a multi-media franchise like Monster High and Garrett offers a brand-new perspective into the creative process and shares his views on what Monster High went on to become.


    The second half of the interview will be coming very soon! :)

    31 Jul 2024

    Hey Stinks! Thank you for sitting with us at the Wet Bench!


    It's the ninth episode! Somehow! We're pretty tired. This episode is very close to Owen's heart as he formally introduces you guys to Monster High, to his collection, and why it means so much to him. Touched upon as well we have to unpack how frustrated Damla was to hear the Taylor Swift slander on the pod, as well as several example of what makes Bret such a good partner. Owen is so lucky (Bret writes these)


    CW: This episode is a very laid back and relaxed one, but there is a short storytime from Owen concerning an old friend of his that lied about Owen being predatory towards him. this storytime happens from 1:05:50 - 1:06:40 incase you wanted to skip it! Thank you for checking out our content warnings :)
