This week, guest Davis Rice joins us to discuss Dying for Pie and Imitation Krabs! Squidward has to make SpongeBob’s last day his best after he accidentally gifted him what he thought was a pie but turned out to be a bomb which was made in a factory that is a bomb factory as it was a bomb etc. And can Plankton trick SpongeBob into giving him the Krabby Patty secret formula in disguise as a robot-Mr.-Krabs-look-a-like?? I don’t know! Let’s find out, I guess!

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and WELCOME to the Absorbent and Yellow Christmas Special! Today, we have a very special guest returning to dive into one of the most beloved episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants ever: The SpongeBob Christmas Special, a.k.a. Christmas Who?

When Sandy tells SpongeBob about the wonders of Christmas, Bikini Bottom turns festive overnight— tinsel, lights, and even a Christmas song! But grumpy old Squidward thinks SpongeBob and the whole town have gone insane for believing in Santa Clause.

Is Squidward right? Can there be a Christmas under the sea?? STAY TUNED!!!!

We're back! Have you ever noticed that every podcast description starts with "we're back?" And I don't just mean this podcast, I mean like every entertainment-based podcast every week has at the start of its description "we're back !" followed by either a "with special guest" or "with another classic" etc. etc.. Anyway, now that I've made it impossible for myself to write an episode description ever again, let's get into the show, shall we

This is going to be a bad episode. ...APRIL FOOLS!! Morgan is back on the pod with us to discuss some Roman mythology, some April prankology, and things get a little college-y. How will Squidward handle April Fools, SpongeBob's most favorite holiday? And can SpongeBob best King Neptune himself at a god-tier cookoff?
