Episode 107 - Heroes Definitely Do That
July 06, 2021 03:33This episode is incredibly, inappropriately, very muchily about the depths to which Batman will not go.. but like in the sex way. We're definitely getting canceled - so, like, you'd better listen.

Episode 103 - Pizza Shaq in the Windy City

February 25, 2021 01:19This it it, folks - our very first, very offical, 100th episode! This one's a little bit shorter than you're all used to, but we poured our hearts, souls, some of Ron's cookie water, and hours of work into making something very special to show our appreciation to all of you for sticking with us for ONE. HUNDRED. EPISODES. Hopefully, we'll see you in another hundred, friends. Love, -NerdLife.
