Living With The Ladies... Eh?
Tod had a run-in with a porn virus that made him realize just how much he has to answer for himself now that he lives with his woman. Marc and Tod swap stories of living with girlfriends, controlling their own retarded spending and more.

Wow - talk about opposite ends of the spectrum!
Marc on one end frantically guarding his toys. Tod on the other, putting all his toys in his girlfriend's name!
FANTASTIC episode!
Obviously I am the opposite of p-whipped Tod. I have an entire apartment of my own about 10 blocks away from the house I can escape to.
Every episode Tod become just little more tragic a specimen. Not only does he sleep on the couch, it is a couch in a little shit box apartment and he is kept on an allowance.
Does she keep your genitalia in a Mason Jar like Carolla always said of Drew and Susan Pinskey?
OH SNAP SON
Yeah, don't go thinking I wont turn the guns on you too spanky.
Haha. Great episode. I think I fall somwhere in the middle of the Chambers/Perry spectrum. Late 20's, have lived with a girl for almost 5 years, we share a bed(!), it's only a medium-shitbox apartment, yet my finances are my own. Though I'm sure when that check from Jeopardy! comes, she may want in on that.
I am not surprised Tod is a sidekick even when off the air.
And he got what he deserved for using mininova.
There are many better sources for those shows.
All of my moments are "Alone moments" as Tod put it.
Kudos gents! Fine podcast.
An old boss of mine had an elegant solution to this marriage killing issue.
(As I remember it...)
He and his wife had one account which covered all joint expenses (mortgage, food, utilities, retirement...) Each also has a separate account for personal expenses (clothing, video games, jewelery, booze...). Their paychecks would go into the main account and some portion (call it an allowance if you must) would be transferred to their personal account.
The rule was, neither was allowed to comment on/monitor/pay any attention whatsoever to the personal spending of the other. This cut down the money fighting to a debate regarding certain expenses (is that HDTV a joint purchase or not?)
...also thanks for making me look like a maniac on the train this afternoon when I laughed ...explosively... when Tod said, regarding the novelty sized headphones, "It looks like we are broadcasting from a fjord."
I almost peed a little.
Nice idea Monekypants...That is actually not too far from how we work things.
