    INTRO

    Annoying Outside Noises

    This intro is gonna just barely make sense

    So many mishandled and mislabeled metaphors

    Singing Ballads

    Yacht Rock

    I’d probably sing yacht power ballads

    Love Song to a Metaphor

    Candles

    Sleep Grease

    The Power of Tition

    Welcome to the Sleep Pros podcast

    I’m more about sleep prose, personally

    I’m a mishandler

    Retrospective on 500 – 599

    Barely engaging

    I also like to say Osh Kosh B’Gosh

    I’ve probably said, “Oh boy” a hundred thousand times on this podcast

    Poetry about loving metaphors

    Send my people your love songs about metaphors

    Would a love song to metaphors contain metaphors? Would that be weird?

    Do metaphors get jealous?

    Are metaphors sentient?

    My brain is palming its forehead and packing its suitcase in exhaustion with my questions

    The leather suitcase in scooter’s brain

    A twin bed for Scooter’s brain

    Checking in with similes

    I’ll hold hands with metaphors and similes

    Who would we choose to sing a song to you?

    Michael McDonald

    Neil Sedaka

    Zayn

    Bette Midler doesn’t really sing power ballads

    Annie Lennox

    Is “Sweet Dreams are Made of This” about metaphors?

    This song is gonna just be for Metaphor

    Scooter can definitely afford Lennie Annex

    A power ballad to metaphors by Lennie Annex

    Is Lennie Annex an alter ego for Annie Lennox?

    I’m holding a metaphor that looks like a sloth in my arms

     

    STORY

    A sleepy celebration

    We haven’t done this since episode 500

    Thank you, listeners, for taking the leap of faith

    And thank you for this opportunity

    499 was Superdull

    501, a very personal episode

    503 was Star Trek: TNG

    A tribute to My Brother, My Brother, and Me

    Talking about fushigi balls

    Superdull was about bored superheros

    A really good podcast can go deep instead of wide

    Another Carole King episode

    John De Lancie Love

    Under the Orlando Eye

    A fictionalized version of Lady Gaga’s Superbowl Halftime Performance

    Goonies Week

    An on-location from Sea Life Orlando

    The Spruce Museum

    Making my own museums in the yard

    The first All Intro episode

    Real Time Salad

    Big Farm in the Sky Private Eye – I loved making this

    Bernie the Butterfly talked about 5 Seconds of Summer swag

    551 – Imaginary Friend, wow

    The Fearless Flyer

    We only do these on Patreon now

    553 – The Dog that Chased the Moon

    Everything at this time was over an hour

    1 hour is the sweet spot

    Different big farms for the different eras of Apple products

    This TNG ep makes me think of Carole King

    The intro for the Glee Dusters is a very popular intro

    Kicking off S7 of GoT

    My life with HBO

    Archetypal, Child-Like Ideas

    Let’s keep the bus content limited for a Sleep Podcast

    Are Booberry and Frankenberry related?

    Lake Ontario Love

    The Return of Agatha and After the Glass Slipper

    Our first Season 3

    Really can’t remember PeeWee’s Big Adventure

    Walking around Disneyland with Ray

    A crossover with Grownups Read Things They Wrote as a Kid

    Scooter’s Horse Summer – On Summer’s Horseback

    Trending Transcript Tuesdays – this was weird

    What is “Dueling Butterflies” about?

    Trying to find a balance with the TNG episodes

    I hope these butterfly wings flapping help you drift off to sleep
