In this episode we try to figure out why Joe Rogan is the way that he is, why Spider-Man is making Magic: The Gathering players angry, what carbonated breakfast cereal tastes like, if Spencer's game show pitch "Reverse Jeopardy" works, and why the last episode got a huge surge in listeners.

Spencer and Kevin dip back into the twisted finale of Neon Genesis Evangelion in this week's episode. After sampling some questionably flavored Mountain Dew (featuring notes of children's cough syrup and gummy worms), they unpack the deeply uncomfortable masterpiece that is The End of Evangelion.

In a fitting farewell to this franchise, Kevin experiences the full mental assault of Anno's uncompromising vision. Meanwhile, Spencer attempts to explain why a movie where the protagonist makes some questionable choices in the opening scene and does basically nothing else somehow became a cornerstone of anime history. They wrestle with the film's relentless commitment to making viewers uneasy, from Shinji's catatonic breakdown to that infamous final scene that nobody can quite agree on the meaning of.

Also, The Spleen may have sold some medbeds to the White House.

Join Spencer as he navigates stuck images, wrong music, and the eternal mystery of what this show is actually about. In this episode, Spencer holds down the fort in California while Kevin broadcasts live from what can only be described as the most historically problematic Airbnb ever, a 400 year old mayor's attic in Amsterdam, complete with wooden beams and presumably several centuries' worth of ghosts judging his snack choices.

We tackle the hard hitting issues you expect from us like expired Dorito reviews, the ongoing European peanut butter controversy that has apparently broken the internet, and Spencer's brilliant plan to insert himself into every dramatic TV show as a voice of reason. We've got travel stories, snack science, and just enough existential podcast crisis to keep things spicy.

Join Spencer "Dick Butkiss" Crittenden, Jeff "Teen Wolf Creator" Davis, and Kevin "Spartan Shelf Life" Day as they somehow transform a simple podcast about oysters and clams into a sprawling discussion of Belgian colonialism, psychic dogs, and Spencer's complete life meltdown.

Jeff returns from his European adventure armed with Dutch philosophy ("Eat the apple pie, my friend. It is not going to get any better"), disturbing knowledge about King Leopold II's Congo shenanigans, and an unhealthy obsession with Liège waffles. Meanwhile, the hosts debate the finer points of carbonating Jägermeister, Kevin's mysterious 15-year-old SodaStream with questionable geopolitical connections, and whether Pokemon would be too caloric to consume (gotta eat them all!).

In this particularly unhinged episode of Anime Binge Club, Spencer drags us through the psychological meat grinder that is "The End of Evangelion." Spencer's doctoral level thesis on giant robot theology is a small comfort in this late-stage anime-induced trauma. Was this all a masterpiece of uncompromising art? The most elaborate prank ever played on anime fans? Join us for a two hour journey into animated psychological horror.

The Spleen got access to a rocket launcher, so Spencer fills in for our intrepid radio host. Kevin "Yes, and..."s himself out of improv classes, we take a break with Mountain Dew that gives off hints of rose water, then look at VR accessories that kinda suck. Spencer looks for a job, and we debate if liking meta humor is a bad thing.
