Theo goes full on Morgan Freeman, we discover we would be terrible sports commentators, and Uncle Andy humps Joseph. Claxton gets married, writes a book, and proves a point. A whole world including weather fits into an unexpectedly small vessel, and we learn what GP is...sort of. Theo invents Christianity and thinks he might be God.

We take on important issues like criminal justice reform and spelling bee rules. Joseph discovers he could've been the “fly on the head guy”, and Devin totally forgets all about Elias.

Jillian gets her comeuppance. Trains suck. We revolutionize kickball. Theo downloads several computer viruses, loses a million dollars on the stock market, and “doesn't never catch it”. Paige needs to invest more in this podcast, and Joseph dies and comes back to life for transportation hour.Also in this episode: Bloodsport, kickball, Theoworld, fan fiction, a count of counts, a cowboy crew, struggles with similies, and an evil robber video game.

We get our first review for 3 cowboys, kind of. We briefly rename our podcast to GameBros and flex our vast lack of football knowledge. Theo brings us inside his mind as a child genius and reveals his childhood dreams. We start sourcing our material from mantelligence.com. Joseph raps about counting, Theo accidentally speaks into existence an army of Hitlers, and Devin gets lost, again. Also in this episode: Devin gets so scared he almost throws up, Theo likes his “lif” and southern accents, Lisa's teeth are unnoticeable, also Harry Potter, Tom Brady, UFOs, Eminem, and Cody Ko.

We create a new genre of literature. Joseph finds a journal with hints of Y2K fear, and he fails his fanbase by not writing erotic fiction. Crash Bandicoot has a few choice words for Claxton. We invent a bad computer virus. Theo panic buys dragon titles. Hankin gets tired of bullying. Theo talks about his circular wandering as a child, and we spend an inordinate amount of time discussing, and singing, the fact that ducks are birds. Also in this episode: Oprah's book club induction, logical arguments for why you shouldn't have to wear shoes, restraint in revealing character names, light library vandalism, foreshadowing the end of a sentence, and a secret friendship with Jay Z.

We give tips for meeting your new year's resolution to read more books. Lisa's status as a bully is doubted. Theo performs an elaborate bird flex. We divulge our noisy and violent sleeping stories. Theo gets bullied for making video games, gets punched on an empty stomach, and has his style ridiculed. We continue to increase the evil doings counter, as well as the average doings counter, and the pinch counter. Theo gets so excited about carrots he ruins his lunch. We invent a holiday that replaces April Fools and New Years. Also in this episode: we come up with a great podcast idea, there is a gooey ball with 5 eyes, and Hankin may be a nutritionist.

We start reading Quest of the Dragon by Theo. Joseph discovers he's the host of a podcast. Theo gets Joseph a gift. We discuss erotic fiction (not for the last time). Joseph reveals his guide to raising teenagers. We continue to struggle with nicknames. Theo recounts his misadventures in fishing and Joseph recounts his misadventures in the Spanish language. We discuss the acceptable margin of slobber on homework. We discover Hankin and the teacher are in league with each other. We demand fan art or we'll quit. Also in this episode: We talk about Theo's complicated relationship with bullies, we discuss how “bad” we were in school, Joseph gives tips for spicing things up in a marriage, and Joseph fails to see how this book will lead to dragons.

We discuss a Western themed novella written by a presumably much younger Joseph. Several of Joseph's early attempts at formatting are drawn into question. We discover what "Tony" is short for. Oprah's integrity is disputed and her secret identity revealed. Theo recounts an episode in his early life that causes him to question his status as a genius, but he redeems himself in the end when he shares his experience failing a standardized test with flying colors.
