Have you ever tried to record a podcast while a mariachi band played? No? Well we have! Enjoy some background music while we discuss the poor hiding abilities of certain ninjas, urinal etiquette, and Team Asuma facing off against Hidan and Kakuza!

It's finally time. It's finally time for Statler and Waldorf (aka Those Two Guys) to go on a mission and pull out their cool-ass swords! We're so very excited. Also for Naruto to cut the waterfall or whatever.

Okay okay, we did the filler skip, now it's back to that good good canon stuff! Plus, a villain that we immediately like, despite all of his, well, murderous religious beliefs. Naruto is back to training, which will probably get interrupted sometime soon, but it's fine. Someday, he'll get that Jutsu.

We thought we'd be skipping a whole buncha episodes this week, but turns out we were wrong! Naruto had to go off into the woods and train to learn a new Jutsu for a few episodes, punctuated by some gnarly static. Will we ever know what the static means? Absolutely not.

Well, we're done with this whole Sasuke business for a while. We hope. Also, apparently Taylor doesn't know how a symbolism works with titles, Kakashi is back for a little while, and Sai is officially a good guy for the time being.

There have been some incredible endings in the past. The Usual Suspects. The Sopranos. Evangelion Neon Genesis. The Planet of the Apes.

But none of them can compare to Naruto Shippuden, when Naruto and the crew just straight give up on the whole Sasuke mission and go to the beach! Hooray Naruto!

Turns out Sai didn't have to really worry about that whole "door opening suddenly" thing, huh? Well, the crew is all in the base, then outta the base, and then decide to go back into the base. Why? Cuz Sasuke, obviously. Hey, at least that sadsack isn't in this episode.

Look, we had some stuff to get off our chests about The Bachelorette this week. It happens sometimes. But we also get to talk about Yamato's small sons, Team Wet, and how holes in stone work, so stick around for that, won't ya?

What's that smell? It smells like...a sadsack? Being a pathetic doofus? Hm, we must be getting close to Sasuke's reintroduction. Team Kakashi (Yamato version) is getting closer to chasing down wherever Orochimaru and Kabuto are taking Sai, which means it's only a matter of time until we run into our least favorite sadboy. Let's enjoy our time without him for now, shall we?

Finally, the charging up period is over. It's time to party. Naruto is fully in four tail mode, and he's ready to FIRE A GIGANTIC BLAST AT OROCHIMARU. Granted, Orochimaru has a few tricks up his sleeve, most of which are extremely gross.
