It’s Conor’s turn to solve the mystery, and Mike has picked out a fiendish one. There are five clues this time, and in a series where even the sole clue a mystery hinges on likely doesn’t make a lot of sense, this means we’re in for a wild ride!

If you’re even vaguely considering listening to this particular episode, please consider this: a severely hung-over Colonel Goode eats Mrs. Jones’ porridge! Also, please know that Bartholomew suffered dearly; that his last moments on earth were filled with pain and horror beyond anything experienced by any single human throughout all of history.

Also, check out Mike on Real or Fanfic!

Two prize winning pigs have gone missing in Idaville, and our intrepid Boy Detective suspects a brand new gang. How many gangs are operating in Idaville and how do things manage to stay relatively peaceful between them? You’d have to imagine there would be all sorts of territory disputes, not to mention horrific initiation rituals and shakedowns of local merchants for protection money.   

Nevertheless, there are pigs to be found, and Mike’s going to see if Conor can crack the case!

Sally is once again pounding Bugs’ face into oblivion, Encyclopedia is still sucking in the gasoline fumes from his makeshift cash register, and people in Idaville are still doin’ some crimes!

All good things must come to an end. Also, Ugly Love must come to an end, and it does, in our final episode. Does Miles end up with Ian? Does Dillion end up with Rachel? What kind of pain is Miles keeping contained? Is it exactly what you thought it was the very moment you “met” Miles? You’ll have to listen to find out. (Because you’re obviously not reading along, are you? ARE YOU?)

We’re back to Idaville, the boy detective, Leroy Brown, replete with gangs of roving toughs, girls breaking boys jaws: you know, the usual stuff. But can Mike crack this very, very tough case?

If you’ve stuck with us this far you must be a fan of the words “kiss” and “heart.” And of the phrase “cut my eyes” and “gripped the doorframe.” In this episode, Conor and Mike speculate like mad about the fate of Rachel, Clayton, Dillon, Lisa, Paige Donahue, and of course, Gary.

Does Mike continue his insane, career-topping totals at Real or Fanfic? You’ll have to listen.

To be clear, Dillon is terrible. BUT he’s the least like a cardboard cutout of all these dumbasses (which is not high praise, but there it is.)

If you are craving plot, please look elsewhere. All we know is that Mike’s middle name is nearly revealed, but Conor’s love for all things Marx Brothers is shouted from the rooftops. Real or Fanfic is conquered, Dumb Sentences are reviewed, and after all is said and done, Miles gets no more interesting.
