016 - Party Like a Dead Body

David, Evan, and Ken enjoy the finer things in Center City Philadelphia. There's no topic quite as controversial as man's greatest invention: chairs, and what's controversy without 40 ounce beers and remembering when David almost died of alcohol poisoning. There are no commercials, but there is a flashback of the original high journal segment and a short story about girls going to clown college.

015 - Scooby Dooby Style

Jenna & Zakk are special guests, but Evan is absent. They tell the story about how they met, why they're both Straight Edge, and Zakk tells a couple of scary stories from his youth in North Carolina. No commercials this time, but hold your breath for some in the next episode.

014 - You Can't Be a Space Pirate

David headed to Philadelphia with Ken to hang out with Evan! We play No Man’s Sky, talk about million dollar ideas like Remaking the Podracing Game for N64 and "American Bitch", and discuss random things like beast wars and our dream TV show idea: Detective Moron. "You did one hell of a job, Moron!"

011 - Proper Wiping Techniques: Recapping Season One

010 - Turning Into Tree Bark or Whatever

We somewhat recap 2014 in movies and celebrity deaths, have a confusing phone interview with Chris Tucker, and finish up with a super-realistic rap we co-wrote. Commercials include Bran Flakes Cereal and Holiday Sweaters.

009 - Red Cat & Stereotypes

We welcome back Ken for the third time, but Sarah isn't allowed on the podcast. We discuss cider beers, Ken's hike, The Birdcage, and do lots of voices. Commercials include We're All Going To Die-Fest and Vinny's Pizzeria Restaurante.
