The gang gets a bit serious this week as Aaron talks about cults and their insidious techniques. Then Erik lightens things up a bit with a discussion around Vulfpeck and making money through creative endeavors. Mihana had to go to class, and doesn't get to discuss Lil Miquela, but rest assured, we'll hear from her next time. 

It's a Skype scramble! A cellphone slip-up! A long distance, low budget struggle. But it's all worth it. In our first episode back, we make our best go at having our first remote guest: Bea Butler. Mihana talks about birth charts, Bea weaves a tale about her loom, and Aaron reps his favorite contemporary musician.

The gang tries to get a real theme song. Aaron talks Japanese monsters, Silas gets spicy, and Mihana introduces a new type of design. They all say "testicles" way too much.This episode used to be called "That's a Spicy Tanuki," but technical and emotional difficulties have called for it's renaming.

It's double the guests and double the goofs in the studio as siblings Bohdi and Tyhe Cooper grace us with their presence. Mihana gives a run down on astrology and the major arcana, Tyhe talks "I" poems, Aaron breaks his silence on Berserk, and Bohdi is caught in a movie loop. 

Aaron orders a sandwich. We talk about Who-ligion in the multiple Who-niverses. Then an hour later, we get to the topics. Aaron discusses his favorite childhood playground, Liz talks point-and-click adventures, and Mihana dives into an insecurity we all have. 

In what accidentally became the longest episode yet, Aaron gets geeky for an old top-down RPG, Mihana's boo-thing Spencer can't believe what our bodies can do, and Mihana talks fear. Special guest appearances by Chuck Testa and Pigeon Wolf.  

Mihana gets spiritual in dreamland, Bridget has a bone to pick with language, and Aaron gets misty eyed over a favorite album. All this while racing a computer battery and bladder capacity.

Mihana walks the group through an analysis of a  famous rap verse, Dan discusses Easter traditions from around the world, and Aaron recounts a special (if complicated) locale from his college experience. Special Note:In the discussion of Snoop Dogg’s "California Girls" lyrics, we want it to be clear that we are commenting on what we believe Snoop’s intentions are. We do not in anyway support the idea that genitals determine gender. We  are always striving to become better allies to our LGBTQ friends and family, and wanted to acknowledge the nuances of that particular segment. Much love. - A     

We're really sorry about this buck-wild attempt at a first episode. A few quick notes:Johnny Quest is not an example of venture capitalism at allWe wrote/recorded the theme song in 5 minutes. Can you tell? I'd like to apologize for my comments about my grandfather.                                - A
