In the penultimate episode of "Stop the Bit," we look back—way back! In the beginning, the earth was formless and empty. And so the Lord @BennyBall said, “Let there be podcasts." And it was so. Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the podcasts, to separate ads from entertainment." And God saw that it was good. And as for the iniquitous @RyanTheLeader, God spake to him, proclaiming: "Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy splendor. I will cast thee to the ground!"

Elsewhere in the program: the boys compete in the hottest new game show, Ryan portrays the laziest Halloween party guest of all time, and Ben's McDonald's order WAS STOLEN!

Bryan's back. We're sorry. On this episode, the boys embark on a journey of introspection. We talk: Canadian celebrity athletes, football [cheerleader] season, and why 37-year-olds truly have their finger on the pulse of pop culture. Next, reboot culture finds another victim: a child star forced back into the industry. Then, two surprise guests: deranged puppet Bryan and an Austin comic way too hyped about the scene.
