Well, we had to start over, because Ezzie killed the first take. So this was take two. Tony had a good day! But a bad week. So… it’s complicated. You’ll hear all about it. Then there’s a lot of time-travel. Enjoy!

200 freaking episodes! Can you believe it? We have the Producer on with us to give us a metaphorical pinch, to make sure we’re not dreaming. Then we talk about what a bad pirate Tony is, and all the terrible things he and Trish watched this week. There’s a lot of them. Then some good old-fashioned body swap fan fiction! And a special word from a special listener. Enjoy!
QUESTIONS:
A la Freaky Friday, William and Tony exchange bodies. What’s the first thing you’d want to do as the other person? — The Producer

Happy New Year! We’ve got a special treat for you this week, because the computer is acting up! We managed to record about 34 minutes of clipped, jerky conversation before everything exploded. So we’re posting a Mystery Episode, in its entirety… but after the credits, if you wish, you can hear that missing 34 minutes, as well. Enjoy!

It gets weird tonight, folks. William gets kind of dark. Tony is the hesitant and quiet one (sort of). Up is down. Black is white. But we’ll fix it in editing. Enjoy!

Kinda serious talk this time, but I think it’s a good one. And appropriate, this time of year, we should be thankful for friends to confide in, people to listen and understand, and for our own ability to change and grow. Also, a little bit about music. Enjoy!

Not gonna lie. We talk about Batman in this episode. But it’s kind of an interesting talk, at least. And we still manage to fit in a little bit about cultural aspirations, and the dream of a very specific “better life.” Enjoy!
