Inspired by Season 2 of the Netflix hit American Vandal (out September 14), Jeff and Jobe look at poop in music—both literal and metaphorical, and share some embarrassing poop stories of their own. Jeff gives his reaction/review of Hell Hath No Futy by Clipse, music from Lando Chill, Arse in the Unsigned Artist Spotlight, the Spotify Wager, and Jobee seeks the answer to the question—is there such a thing as too many poop puns?

CHRIS HENCHY is a co-founder of Gary Sanchez Productions and the interweb sensation Funny or Die. He is also the co-executive producer of HBO's critically acclaimed series Entourage, Funny or Die Presents, and Eastbound & Down. In addition to producing, he is also a scribe for the screens. He created TV shows like Battery Park and I'm With Her, which is loosely inspired by his marriage to super model Brooke Shields. Henchy has written for numerous television shows and films, including The Campaign, The Other Guys, and Land of the Lost. Most importantly, he is tall. EMPLOYEE of the MONTH's host CATIE LAZARUS is not tall. She is short and broke, but much more inspired to write and make stuff after speaking with Henchy. You probably will be as well. I would say your welcome, but you were really just thanking Chris. I get it.
