Mike Mitchell (“The Birthday Boys”, Doughboys Podcast, “Love” on Netflix) regales the girls with special behind-the-scenes dirt on what it’s like to go from Writer’s PA to VOICE ACTOR! (Hint: It involves a lot of email chains). They also talk about “Manchester by the Sea” and why Mitch hates it because the teen character gets a ton of pussy.

Filmmaker Brian Firenzi (5 Second Films, Dude Bro Party Massacre III) talks with the girls about this famous Frasier cross-over ep, the jokes we didn’t get until we were in college, and the how inside every criminal beats the heart of a ten-year-old boy. And vice versa.

Allie and Julia close out 2016 by answering listener questions, contemplating future dream guests (SAM ROCKWELL! JOE BIDEN!) and roll out their top 10 reasons why they hate top 10 lists. It's a farewell to a jam-packed year, with a bright future on Feral Audio.

I'm relatively sure this is our longest episode ever. Plus: I'm v horny!

We also passingly discuss the John Swartzwelder masterpiece "Bart Gets An Elephant." We get stampy about the gentlemanliness of Mr. Burns, how any news is unprecedented when your show has been running for 26 years, and the show's subtle yet effective sound design. Plus: Allie debuts a hot new character that nearly kills our sound guy!

It's time to get your heart broken and rebuilt piece by piece as we discuss one of the most touching Simpsons episodes ever, "Lisa's Substitute," with Daniel O'Brien (@DOB_INC, Cracked, author of "How To Fight Presidents"). We discuss chillin' on the phone with customer service, wanting desperately to make teachers laugh, how hard it can be to find your place as a kid, and Marge's subtly savvy parenting.

The girls are joined by comedian/writer Nick Mundy (of the upcoming Tween Fest! Adam Ruins Everything, Conan, Collegehumor and holy shit so much more you guys). They talk phobias, friends, and famous wedding officiants. Mundy comes to terms with his Homer-ness in the husband dept, and Allie explores the concept of a "Zoo Cruise" which as you would expect is a zany modern twist on Noah's Arc.
