was really needing a little time with you friends, thanks for this

This week just became great.  Thanks you three.  This podcast honestly makes my day when a new episode pops.

Okay I didn't know what a Scotch egg was and now that I do, I feel betrayed by the world.

Now imagining transmetal-II Megatron with Stephanie's Duke voice, with the powdered wig on from the episode where they put other predicons on trial.

There's also Skibidi (and a few variations) from a band called Little Big.

Jonathan defects to the Whole Foods Soviet Embassy at last.
