Better late than never. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! And hopefully nobody throws a cymbal at your head during Thanksgiving dinner. Or fires a magical girl arrow at you. Or moves you to a capital to become a princess. Or summon an elephant to trample the dinner table. As long as that doesn’t happen, it should be going smoothly.

This podcast was never about the truth. It was always the ratings. Don’t fight it. Accept it. We’ll run the show the way we planned it. Don’t reveal the new info. This is the way the podcast is supposed to be depicted. White dudes talking about stupid shit instead of the honest-to-god journalism you helplessly preach.
