This is a dilly of a pickle of an episode. We do some AITA guessing both equally funny and depressing. Discover the character “Hat Boy”, and not to trust paternity tests. TJ witnesses the circle of life unfold, and Jon saw a Star Wars movie, finally.
This episode starts off heavy as TJ recounts a harrowing experience at work. Matt continues to play world of warcraft “classic” and Jon starts a new MMO addiction of the final fantasy variety. Tune in to experience the opposite of that pleasant tingling feeling, that is the Born in the Eighties promise!
More Melissaphilia minute! TJ brings us all down on his birthday, reminding us that death is all around us. Matt experiences the new MST3K season, and Jon rants about the Fyre festival for a bit. TJ also introduces our Patreon backed feature, the “Rom of the Month” Club.
Jon and Adam reconvene after the horrific fright fest that was the first annual spookening. Topics range from how terrible Boo radley is at playing apples to apples, good space pilot names, old hanna barbara cartoons, how top cat might have had something to do 9/11, and how terrible Scrappy Doo was. Dark Jon appears and makes Scooby Doo into a real horror show. Silky J grew up on the streets. Jon tells the tale of how he got kicked off of his 4th grade field trip. Then, things get serious for a bit. This is a weird one.
With Jon’s battle with a cold subsiding, the guys decide to record an episode. Jon and Adam jaw about building computers, and being the sickest ever. Talk turns to T.V. where Adam and Jon head back to a classic cartoon for the ages. Reboot!!!! Then talk turns to other shows that are being watched in the death apartment, (Mad Men, Buffy, Angel) until the unspeakable happens. The mysterious benefactor and Adam activate Dark Jon, and the podcast takes a turn.
