Ya know, because it was April Fools Day a few days ago or something.
Mark and Drew made songs to propose new mascots for the springiest of seasons! Mark made up a whole new entity that is definitely not based on anyone who is actually real.

It's been a whole gosh darned year since we started this podcast! We checked back in with some of our friends from previous episodes to see what they've been up to, and Mark and Drew collab on a song based off of this bizarre prompt: "A buttload of pistols on their like one-or-two-year meaningful intercourse need to sponge whether to collapse or spelunk its exposees."

It may or may not have gone very well. You be the judge! We certainly weren't the judge on this one. I mean that normally one host is a judge and the other one makes a song but we didn't do that this time. It's a different one. Different good? I don't know. Okay.
Happiness! Sadness! Anger! Halibut! What do all these things have in common? You guessed it! They are all emotions. Even Halibut.

Thanks to our dark lord and savior Hamburger Helper, we were able to get our friends Javier Chavez and Timothy Yi to come on the show and talk about bugs and shit. Also you can barely hear Tim so I am real dang sorry about that. It's not my fault he chose to sit several miles away from the microphone, but that doesn't mean we love him any less.
