Despite our titular warning the You Can [Not] Podcast barrels headlong into Evangelion 2.0: You Can [Not] Advance. Several harsh opinions and joyous raptures are voiced onboard the Train, and a vital question is screamed: who is Mari? Note: For a few minutes at the end of the episode, Colby's audio drops out.

Falling ill on a journey my dreams go wandering over withered fields. youcannotpodcast@gmail.com https://twitter.com/ColbyHesseltine https://twitter.com/birth_of_cool
Inhale, exhale Forward, back Living, dying: Arrows, let flown each to each Meet midway and slice. The void in aimless flight -- Thus I return to the source.
A small night storm blows Saying 'falling is the essence of a flower' Preceding those who hesitate.
Several characters get got in varying fashion. They are mourned.
Shinji goes subconscious. Misato takes it poorly. The You Can [Not] Podcast observes. "Pippa's Song," from Pippa Passes by Robert Browning http://www.bartleby.com/101/718.html "Sex and the Single Cyborg," by Sharalyn Orbaugh http://traffic.libsyn.com/youcannotpodcast/Sex_and_the_Single_Cyborg.pdf
Staring grimly, the proud runner Achilles answered, "Beg no more, you fawning dog--begging me by my parents! Would to god my rage, my fury would drive me now to hack your flesh away and eat you raw-- such agonies you have caused me! Ransom? No man alive could keep the dog-packs off you, not if they haul in ten, twenty times that ransom and pile it here before me and promise fortunes more-- no, not even if Dardan Priam should offer to weigh out your bulk in gold! Not even then will your noble mother lay you on your deathbed, mourn the son she bore... The dogs and birds will rend you--blood and bone!"
Shinji turns tragic. Note: Colby wishes to exchange "Patton" for "Joan of Arc." (A further note: the audio went wonky on us for this episode. While the fullest effort has been made to remedy these errors, the You Can [Not] Podcast regrets any remaining discrepancies.)
A new pilot enters the fold. "Sunday Morning," Wallace Stevens https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/13261/sunday-morning "Sheltered Garden," H. D. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48189/sheltered-garden "Walking Around," Pablo Neruda https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/walking-around (A note: the audio went wonky on us for this episode. While the fullest effort has been made to remedy these errors, the You Can [Not] Podcast regrets any remaining discrepancies.)
A sprawling episode of the You Can [Not] Podcast, Colby and Asher speak to the Mad Lad's rampant espionage, Misato's deep emotional problems and the whiplash induced by quality storytelling. Long for the sound of others' podcasts.
It's midterm week on the You Can [Not] Podcast as we test ourselves on "Weaving a Story." Asher and Colby discuss the first departure from a traditional narrative structure, the chain of pilot freakouts and reveal their favorite characters & moments so far! You'll know when the test begins.
Hitch a ride? Hitch... on? Hitchhike over? Whatever. It's time for "Lilliputian Hitcher." Colby and Asher talk about the guts of the MAGI, NERV's rampant parental issues and one of the series' funniest B-plots. Remember -- punching is just as effective as hacking.
"She Said, 'Don't Make Others Suffer For Your Personal Hatred,'" and the You Can [Not] Podcast agrees. Colby and Asher revel in Misato's love/hate paternal relationship, find everyone's reasons for punchin' Angels and further contest the legacy of the Mad Lad. To quote: "We're really gettin' into stuff here."
Tokyo-3 may be still, but podcasting can never rest. Asher and Colby move through "The Day Tokyo-3 Stood Still," discussing Rei's absolute command of the situation, Gendo proves once again that he's the worst father and teamwork finally comes to the forefront. Also: a very special episode of Dialectical Podcasting.
There's no other way to say it -- we're diving into "Magma Diver." Asher relates the difficulties in watching anime, Colby comes through with the Freudian questions and the pair talks quite a bit about death and nihilism. Cheers.
All of you, listen like you want to... win? (Are you listening to lose?) 'Cause this week it's "Both of You, Dance Like You Want to Win!" on the You Can [Not] Podcast. Colby and Asher talk about Asuka's new relationships within NERV, the brilliance of the two fight scenes and we get an official Best Character list from Asher! Cue the music.
Actung! "Asuka Strikes" the You Can [Not] Podcast! Battling politicians, new character relationships, underwater cities, U2 AND Nine Inch Nails! Wunderbar.
Folks, we're talkin' "A Human Work." Asher and Colby discuss the WWE Smackdown that is the conference, Colby asks some questions and Asher forgets about atomic bombs. Revel in the vagueness of the human heart, and rejoice that it only explodes emotionally.
Freakanamis rejoice! This week we tackle both "Rei I" and "Rei II," starting with a brief tangent on the absurdity of commercialization. (CORRECTIONS DEPT: It's Schick, not Colgate. YC[N]P regrets the error.) Asher and Colby speak to Rei's tumultuous start, Gendo actually caring about other people, questions Asher wants answered immediately and the celebrated return of big guns. #baeayanami https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3acm7j9k_1w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IxGeLHcnEw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RktK5C4YB7k
It's a crowded podcast today as our heroes look into "The Hedgehog's Dilemma." Joseph Gordon-Levitt reads Schopenhauer! Dave has a new friend! Shinji refuses to ask questions! Watch out for quills - or don't - and light up a Pall Mall as we run away from all our problems.
While our hosts remind us that no one calls Sean Hannity, it's still important to actually discuss "A Transfer." They root out the obvious Full Metal Jacket parallels, check in with Dave and his new friend and praise Evangelion's progressive casting of New York stereotypes. We're podcastin' ova hea! youcannotpodcast@gmail.com https://twitter.com/ColbyHesseltine https://twitter.com/birth_of_cool
After a brief look at Hideaki Anno's start in animation and the genesis of Evangelion, Asher and Colby discuss "The Beast" and its Very Intelligent Shots. The absurdity of huge guns is touched upon, as is the United Nations Security Council. Boy, these ceilings are unfamiliar. youcannotpodcast@gmail.com https://twitter.com/ColbyHesseltine https://twitter.com/birth_of_cool
The You Can [Not] Podcast gets off to a rollicking start, talking a look at the episode "Angel Attack." Colby and Asher challenge Canadian Club to sponsor the show, extol the virtues of Daily Motion and tackle the gravity of gender roles as only white men can. Come for the content, stay for the chair creaking. youcannotpodcast@gmail.com https://twitter.com/ColbyHesseltine https://twitter.com/birth_of_cool
In this inaugural episode, Colby and Asher reveal their reasons for starting the You Can [Not] Podcast, discuss their anime backgrounds, Colby gives Asher a psych evaluation and we go on our merry podcasting way. http://www.theonion.com/article/podcaster-makes-solemn-promise-improve-sound-quali-51660 youcannotpodcast@gmail.com https://twitter.com/ColbyHesseltine https://twitter.com/birth_of_cool
