Care for Free
Care for Free
David Holmes & Emily Eby
David and Emily are two friends who happen to care a lot about a lot of things. Some of those things are the same. But some of those things… are different. And there’s the podcast! On each episode, they will try to make the other care about something. Hopefully, you care too. Why would you be here otherwise?
15. Beards & Crassus
Season 2!!! David and Emily are back (with an extra long episode) to talk about all the hottest topics of 2023: Chance the Rapper, Shrek 2, LOST, the weather, beards, and Marcus Licinius Crassus. What is the appropriate age at which to have a mustache? Emily has a strong opinion about it. You wouldn’t want to miss that, would you?

14. Nellie Bly and Nearest Green
Have you ever wanted to time-travel to right after everyone* got vaccines? Well, now you can! David and Emily host their very successful friend Ian to talk about historical journalists, historical distillers, and a bunch of stuff going on in our lives that is now like “oh yeah, I forgot that was going on in my life at all.” Disregard any biographical details you hear in this episode because they are definitely out of date, and just enjoy the learning and friendship!

13. Dingiso & Twin Films
Happy Easter! Our podcast feed rises anew to deliver you a fresh new episode, recorded over Zoom, with the long-awaited guest producer Mike French. Your move, Selene van der Walt. David tells us about something that is definitely not a bear, and Emily takes advantage of Mike’s presence to give a pop quiz on twin films. Enjoy this episode, and as always follow us on social media at @gimmejacobmoore.

12. Coy-Wolves & Lake House
What???? We’re back like cartoon dinosaurs baby, and we have a LOT of chitchat in this episode to make up for some lost time. David talks about coy-wolves, which may or may not be a new species, and Emily spoils the entirety of the 2006 romantic fantasy film The Lake House. Take a listen!

11. Be True to Your Preschool & Much Ado
Cast your mind back to March 13, 2019. Colton Underwood is the Bachelor. The college admissions scandal is all over the news. Emily still lives in Austin. No one has ever heard of coronavirus. Okay, are you there? GOOD. Now you’re in the right headspace, because…. the long-awaited lost episode of Care for Free is here! It guest-stars Hannah G (who doesn’t have to be the Bachelorette now because she has a great boyfriend), and I honestly think it’s one of our best. David talks current events, which are now not current, and Emily talks her favorite Shakespeare play, which wasn’t current anyway. Enjoy!

10. Theranos & Lakers II
A new episode?!? This week, Emily tries to make David care about the wild ride of Elizabeth Holmes’s company Theranos and David tries to make Emily care about the Lakers on the other end of their season. This episode features the sultry tones (and borrowed microphone) of the guest producer Caleb Richard aka @crazeepreacher, lightly roasted. Tune in and turn it up!

9. Weezy & Hedy
The Pod Awakens! After another one of our famous hiatuses, David and Emily (and guest producer Hannah Norton) journey back into the sea of caring. David tries to make Emily care about Lil Wayne’s feud with Birdman, and Emily tries to make David care about silver screen star Hedy Lamarr and her 1942 patent. Will they care? Probably! Listen and find out anyway.

8. Santa Anna & Five Foot Nine
This week, Emily tries to make David care about Texas history and David takes Emily on a journey of height. Also, Napoleon was Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814 and again briefly in 1815 during the Hundred Days. That’s our bad.

This week, David tries to make Emily care about the Lakers’ over-under and Emily tries to make David care about the corpse of Maj. William Martin. There’s a lot of accents, some Pod Save America talk, football (uuuuuugh), and general good times with guest producer Jacob Moore (@gimmejacobmoore, remember to smash that follow button).
