Deep Fought

Well, well, well… look what the kākāpō dragged in. Oh, just a couple of former ushers with another fascinating conversation, recorded in person in Christchurch and then gifted to the world for free.

Yeah, that’s right… these episode descriptions are about to get weird, pal. Nick’s computer un-alived itself, leaving him with no choice but to hand over full edit control to Big M, aka the Beast from the East. And shit’s about to get really real.

We’re together in the same room for the first time in years, and hoooo baby, strap yourself in, ’cause this episode is a wild ride, ranging from pure reflection to uncut nostalgia to black-tar sentimentality. Just like the good old days. Aggressively inhales. God, it feels good to be back. This episode's mistakes include:

We're back, and one of us has brand new digs in a brand new (old) city!

Welcome to a pod 2800 years in the making.
