The Sickos ruminate on how understanding that the things you like actually suck is the key to unlocking an extremely powerful brain that frees you from mental prison.

The Sickos have trapped Actual Scientist John Hasier and are determined to waste his time and expertise as stupidly as possible. Listen as they force him to do Anime Science, discuss how being a scientist is exactly the same as being a cog, and philosophize about how science, while useful, is not the panacea STEM weirdos want you to think it is.

The Sickos take a load off and discuss what video games they're playing lately, and how Dragon Quest's complete refusal to do anything you don't expect can sometimes be exactly the kind of soothing balm a sicko mind needs. Then we relive the hated years known as College, explaining why it's a big lie that we got tricked into.

On the rain-slicked streets of Sicko City, one hard-boiled PI faces down an anime sicko who stands accused of watching Food Wars: Shokugeki No Soma. Will our grizzled lawman put this freak away, or will he go sicko mode after being tempted by anime? It's just another day in Sicko City...

The sickos discuss Epstein's very normal death and find comfort in the knowledge that Goku would never go on the Lolita Express. Cog Talk explores how famous media depictions of office drudgery don't actually scan in 2019.

The sickos jaw about Hunter X Hunter, an anime with dope fights, compelling characters, short pants, and a total disregard for your time.
