This might be our most controversial episode yet. The dumbest of asses return to talk about flatbread...I guess. Look, Greg fucked up and didn't post this episode last Friday. Surprise, surprise -- no one noticed! Greg finally "edited" this but did not listen to it like usual. So this episode is about flatbread.

Yale Batman scholar, Jaren Skirvin, drops by to have a sophiscated chat about the new film, The Batman. But Brad (who is absolutely not on this episode!!) thinks there's too many Batmen and he should retire. Is Brad right? Or is Brad wrong? You be the judge!

Percussionist Rob Funkhouser nicely discusses the philosophy of genres, classifications, and experimentation with the three imbeciles.

Seriously. What is the point? I mean with any of this. What are we doing? 50 episodes. Of this? This stupid fucking podcast. A podcast! Seriously! It all seems very illogical and severely pointless. A diary of subversive ignorance and reprehensible privilege. Disgusting. I personally hate it and honestly you should too. I mean, if you actually like this bullshit then you are simply a dumbfuck. But even if you accept that you are, in fact, a dumbass -- know this one thing...YOU ARE LOVED!

Jaren returns! So does last week's guest Justin Shimp as we further delve into the fandom of Animal Collective. But most importantly this episode and Part 1 will determine who is going to be kicked off permanently from the podcast. All will be revealed next week for our 50th Anniversary Special!

In this special Jaren-less episode, Justin Shimp (Braintwins) joins Brad and Greg to discuss their fandom for the band Animal Collective.
