Shane's Bachelor Party Special
There's actually no mashups this episode so if you are only here for the music go ahead and skip, but if you wanna hear the results of having all three of our original flesh bodies occupying the same general area for the first time in several years, then go ahead and boot it up. We'll have a real episode for you next week but this one is fun I promise. A little peek behind the proverbial curtain.

The Anime Challenge
That's right! This is the first-ever community requested mashup challenge! Thanks for the suggestion from like, a year ago listener ChuChu. Much appreciated. While one smasher is an avid anime fan, the other is only a casual fan. And the judge has seen maybe 2 anime. How will it turn out? Tune in next time on Dragonball Z to find out.

The Discog Shakes
In the exciting sequel to Episode 2, the boys shake up their phones to get a random album from their discogs collection. But don't worry, while the challenge is recycled, the beats are fresh as hell. Could have sworn that the first time we were somewhere else but t̶̹̝̏h̶͍̫́̇a̴̹̪̝̍̂̾t̷͓͖̋̈́̚ͅ ̴̨̤͙̏̒c̵̟̾̅a̵̲̯̐͒n̶̰̳̯͆'̶̟̘͍͋͐͝t̵̟̘̅̔ ̷͍͉͕̋̎̇b̵͍̃̄͑ę̶̛̺̦͗̑ ̵̡͔̈́̐͝r̸̙̔͐͗ȋ̷̘̘̄g̸͉̟͒̿͝ĥ̷͈͙̙̄ț̴̙̈͝

The Talk Rock Challenge / The 420 Special!
Happy holidays! There aren't many holidays these boys actually celebrate, but at least 2/3 of them celebrate this one! Shane's a government employee and a good boy though so he can't. That government being the Music Research Institute. Ian and Ryan are just contractors so they can blaze it all they want. Also, talk rock. It's like rock but the signer is a talker.

The Soul Challenge
This week the boys do their best to make soul mashups, despite being completely unqualified to do so. Is the outcome good? That's for history to decide. But given the standard for podcasts run by three white dudes... the outlook isn't great.

The Stank Face Challenge
First, I do like this Put a look on my face like I smelled some piss Bounce to the beat till it start to hurt Then I dust all the smirk off me shirt Dip to the ground as I catch the bass Then I wipe all the sweat off me face Hop back up then I start to slide Popping my collar as I glide Then I break the thang down and do The Bird Dust myself off like I just stole third Come on everybody now's the chance Fuck the Harlem Shake, this the Thizzle Dance!

The Chill Challenge
Get a nice big cup of some sort of hot beverage, snuggle up under the covers, and get ready to have your ears tenderly kissed and whispered into by the boys. Only cozy vibes allowed here. If you have uncozy vibes I DON'T WANT IT.

The Red Scare Challenge
Inopportune timing? Perhaps. But keep in mind there's quite a information delay between the earth and the moon so how were we supposed to know? This week the boys make tracks based around the color Red. Long time listeners might remember the Blue challenge from... idk like 4 weeks ago. This is like that but it's like, you know, it's a different color. Red and blue are two different colors is what I think I'm trying to say. They're both primary colors though. At least in the art color wheel. Hey ...

The Speedrun Challenge
The boys only had 3600 seconds to complete this open category challenge. Did they make anything good? Well, one of them did! To listen be sure to do a short backwards bunny hop in this corner on frame 8 which will instaflag the ending credits for this any% speedrun of podcasts.

The Banana Bass Challenge
That's bass, not bass. In a throwback to the forbidden episode [Z.E.R.0.], the boys set out to make some banana bass bangers. But who's banana was a banger and who's was a bungle? That's up to Shane to decide.

The Skipped Song Challenge
We've all been there. You're listening to an album, absolutely vibing, and then a skit track comes on. Or an instrumental interlude. And it doesn't even really fit thematically with the rest of the album. Feels like padding. Or maybe it's a perfectly good song, but a completely different mood from the rest of the album. What do you do? You hit skip. We've all done it, it's okay.

The All-Star Challenge
For the first time in history, Ryan and Ian have been mandated to use the same backing track for their mashup. I know some of you idiots out there are saying "backing track mandates are unconstitutional" but you're wrong. According to the Moon constitution, Shane can make us do whatever we want. We all signed it. That's just how we do it up here.

The Waveform Challenge
One of the core truths about making music is that typically you wanna hear what you're doing. But we didn't get to do that this week. Both tracks were made on mute. The results might surprise you though. Just like Beethoven, we don't need to listen to what we're doing to make masterpieces.

The Awful Chorus Challenge
Every once in a while you find yourself grooving along to a song. Tapping your toe, snapping your fingers, and then it happens. You get to the chorus, and it just blows. Like It's REAL bad and you aren't sure what happened or how you got here but you but as you scramble to pause it you get tangled up in your headphone cables because you can't afford airpods so you trip and the cable gets caught on the door knob and as your vision fades the last thing you hear is "THE BISCUITS AND THE BEANS"...

The Celebrity Crossover Challenge
Since the dawn of time humankind has operated on the assumption that if you're good at one thing, you must be good at all things. It's the reason nerds online listen to some of the absolute worst takes of all time, the reason lawyers and doctors think they're good at computers (none of them are) and the reason actors start musical careers. Are some of them good? Yeah sure, but their latent fame from their previous career will often propel mediocre shit into the spotlight simply because of a name...

Kind of Blue
Blue. The default favorite color for people too afraid to embrace the raw sociopathic energy of red. This week the boys had to make mashups based around the color blue, with explicit rules to NOT use Blue by Eiffel 65. Were they able to do it? Who can say.

The Christmas Funtacular
Snow on the ground, lights on the trees, presents wrapped and stockings on the chimney. Oh what's that? We're off by like 3 weeks? Well Ian set his house on fire so... you're just gonna have to forgive us this time.

The Video Game Challenge [REDACTED]
This feels familiar but none of us can really put our fingers on why. We're all pretty sure that we've done videogame mashups in the past but we can't seem to find any proof. Anyway, this week the boys have to make some mashups based around videogames!

The Pandering Challenge / Our Birthday!
Can you believe we've already been doing this show for a full year? It's almost unbelievable. When we went back to count up the episodes though we noticed there's kind of an empty space that we are kind of fuzzy on. We're all pretty sure we released 4 Halloween season episodes, but we can't find them anywhere. But if we weren't here on the moon making mashups that month, what were we doing? That's not really important though. Today it's all about the man whom without this show would be nothing. ...

The Voice Over Challenge
I want you to take a minute and think of a voice over that you really liked. Maybe it was a movie trailer, maybe an audiobook, maybe it's that guy who used to do the voice overs for How It's Made. Remember those? God I love that show. It's still going but they have a new narrator. She does a really great job but the How It's Made guy has been there since the beginning so please forgive me if I get a little nostalgic. Is your favorite voice over Bob Saget from popular disgraced sitcom How I Met Y...

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Challenge
As we all know there is no musical authority more powerful than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That's why they had to contain it to the DMZ known as Ohio, it was too powerful. Sure, maybe in the past they've only recognized white rock musicians who stole the genre from black southerners to market tight pants, but 3 years ago they finally recognized Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the black queer woman who functionally invented the rock guitar style, so shouldn't we give them a pass? No.

The Recommendation Challenge
The only thing that feels as good as listening to music, is sharing music with your loved ones. When's the last time you got super stoked on some new music you found and knew you HAD to share it with your friends. That's basically the reason we created this show. That and to pass the time of living in the center of the earth. Features clips from: The Beach Boys - God Only Knows Zebra Katz - Ima Read Opeth - Ghost of Perdition Glass Animals - Life Itself

The Songwriting Challenge
In the immortal words of Chance the Rapper, we back. We've solved the transmission issues we were having last week and can resume our broadcast! This week the boys have to create a mashup with songs that they like from a pure 'songwriting' standpoint. That real lyricist shit you know? That Conor Oberst jam.
