February 04, 2021 07:15 - 1 hour - 86.6 MBHappy 4th birthday to us! What did we get ourselves to celebrate? Ah, nothing much, just the epic tale of two pedantic idiots fighting over possession of The Last Brain Cell as they make their dramatic journey to Hell and back (which happens to involve a massive, hemisphere-shaking ween). ...We're talking about Dante and Virgil.

December 24, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 74.3 MB'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the 'cast, Megan and RJ had lost it at last. Answering listener questions about which authors to date, and which authors they'd choose to punch authors they hate.
