In this special "takeover" episode of the Altered Judgement podcast, the usual host Joe is replaced by Charlotte for a lighthearted and chaotic session dubbed Altered Toddler. Fueled by organic fruit punch juice boxes, Charlotte and her dad dive into a wide range of toddler-approved topics, including reviews of the latest animated movies, favorite foods, and a very strong stance on Philadelphia sports.The episode features plenty of "bathroom humor," experiments with vocal effects (from chipmunk to "bear" voices), and a recap of a busy weekend visiting local bakeries and grocery shopping. It’s a fun, unscripted look at a podcast studio through the eyes of a four-year-old.

In This "Last Call" Episode, the guys sit down with Conor, a neighbor with a history in the music industry. The episode kicks off with shots of Malort, which the hosts describe as "truth serum" that tastes like "dirty shoelaces" and "black licorice and farts." Between rounds of the infamous Chicago spirit, they discuss Conor's experiences working sound for bands like Dashboard Confessional and Blackthorne, debate the existence of "Central Jersey," and launch into a passionate conspiracy theory about why Wawa stores no longer have their iconic smell. The conversation concludes with a nerdy but insightful breakdown of Pennsylvania's unique liquor laws and a potential solution for the state's revenue issues.Episode Chapters:[00:04] - The Malort "Truth Serum"[00:54] - Conor’s Band History[03:52] - Comedy Movie Deep Dive[06:53] - Meeting Idols & Sound Engineering[08:40] - Introducing Conor[10:00] - Touring with Blackthorne[11:32] - The Hockey-Playing Moose Tattoo[14:00] - The Central Jersey Debate:[17:13] - Bandwagon Fans[18:43] - The Wawa Conspiracy[23:43] - PA Liquor Laws:[30:54] - The Microcosm of PA[37:02] - Final Malort Shot & Outro: One last round for the road
