Evangelion comes to Netflix, and everyone hates it. Because a boy doesn't tell another boy he loves him or something. And then he jerks off into his hand? While New York, New York by Frank Sinatra's playing in the background. Man, is anime weird. Kim Kardashian tries to trademark the word "kimono" so as punishment we tie her to a chair and make her watch Andrew Dice Clay perform standup with Roseanne Barr. Shut the fuck up and take my money.

This episode we also plan our trip to Boston to celebrate Straight Pride, and we invent a new game for the parade that's kind of like the Mark Wahlberg version of pin the tail on the donkey.

Carl performed solo bass with his custom live processing environment, Sway, before Meredith capped off the afternoon with a sneak peak of her developing cowboy series.
