July 15, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 96.8 MBWARNING! REALLY NSFW! In our filthiest episode yet, our heroes drive one joke so far into the ground, they mistake it for a foundation. The curses pile up as the guys debate if this book is as bad as they think it is, or if they're just confused by Shatner's self-hero worship/humble bragging. Bob spouts out an insufferable amount of Star Trek trivia, and Rance admits the most he knows about Star Trek has to do with Shatner's spoken-word musical career.

July 08, 2020 23:55 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBWarning: NSFW! Our heroes continue to get really upset about The Adventures of Tom Stranger, Interdimensional Insurance Agent, and it's "sequel." The brothers get really confused about how Adam Baldwin chooses to say both "ambiance," and "poor people." Rance still wants to challenge our author to a fight, and Bob is looking for a light in the dark, but just gets fed up with the world.

June 24, 2020 16:58 - 1 hour - 102 MBWarning: NSFW! Due to the truncated schedule and Rance's uncontrollable potty mouth, this episode contains uncensored mature language. More than usual, anyway. Let's bring this horse doo doo to a close! Our heroes recap this somewhat serviceable, but still pretty insufferable hypothetical sequel to A New Hope. Rance recounts his tale of dental trauma and shows off the difference between his new and old choppers, while Bob just sort of lets him ramble, and hopes his fiancé isn't listenin...

Yes, the guys still talk about this steaming hunk of dog poop (no, not the one in the White House, rather the one they have to read for the podcast), but they also comment on the current movement in our country, and hope that change will continue and for the better. Our heroes spend a few minutes getting to the hard truths, but also some of the not so hard truths. Ran...

Time to celebrate because we are halfway though this garbage series. In this episode, our heroes get really upset about how everything in the book just becomes uncomfortably sexual.
