Having done this podcast for 197 more episodes than anyone ever thought they would, eD! and Jeff bring Nearly Coherent back to its roots: spending a bunch of time making fun of Dave, who finally accounts for where the hell he's been all this time, and marveling at the quality of the Dave's News Corner story he brought with him!

If you have any follow-up questions about Dave's News Corner, please direct them to @DaveintheStudio on Twitter.

eD! and Jeff talk with the podcast’s #1 Fan, Sandy, about Nova Scotia, Canadian music, awkward injuries, and embarrassing YouTube channel-subscription accidents that certain people won’t ever live down!

We also don’t mention our unplanned hiatus at all, since this was recorded before that happened, so you’ll have to leave that mystery on the back burner for now — sorry, people who complained about waiting for a new episode to us on Twitter and are demanding explanations!

eD! tells a story that’s been haunting him since childhood, Jeff breaks our brains with “Jeopardy!” facts, they talk about how weirdly high the bar is for what counts as news now, and reactions to the deal between AMC Theaters and Universal Studios!

If you want to see the web comic that eD! talked about -- and if you don’t you’re a damn fool -- they’re all right here:

• Alien Cadets 1
• Alien Cadets 2
• Alien Cadets 3

eD! and Jeff discuss being gnarled old men, home massage equipment, Funko Pop! figures, and purchases they’ve made they might have wanted to spend a little bit more time thinking about!

In the episode, eD! mentions a thing that he’s going to include a picture of, but since that’d spoil what’s coming, we’ve hidden it below!

eD! and Jeff discuss terrible songs to have stuck in your head, a "Dave" that doesn't suck, a behind-the-scenes look at how Nearly Coherent gets put together, and rumors about future “Fast and Furious” movies!

eD! and Jeff discuss buddy movies they want to see, inflatable hot tubs, "Black Panther 2" rumors, and totally lose track of what the hell is going on real quick.

Fun Behind-the-Scenes Fact: At one point, we talk about how we're technically not making fun of Dave behind his back because he has to listen to these episodes to edit them before we publish them, but this week Dave's away, so this is the one episode he didn't edit before we put it out, so I guess we were making fun of him behind his back after all?

(Also blame Dave if the audio quality isn't as good as it usually is, he should never have left eD! to do this by himself.)

eD! and Jeff get all nerd-horny over everything announced at WWDC. It’s real steamy, folks!

eD! and Jeff discuss what's going on right now, and sincerely hope they didn't totally blow it.
