The gentlemen that have become members of the Top 50 Podcasts of Lincoln, sharing the honor with most of Church Row, offer another fireside chat, wherein they speak nothing of this good fortune but instead, of other completely unrelated shit.

Small Dave and Dr Loud offer the citizens of Lincoln another fireside chat to remind you that the only thing we have to fear, is, well, a lot of shit

Small Dave and Dr Loud explore Frank Shoemaker Marsh by venturing out of the Belmont studio into nature, like David Attenborough, the most English of boroughs. The brave gentlemen encounter beautiful and fearsome wildlife and record their journey for you the listener.

This is not the Blair Witch Project. No matter how terrifying the sequence of events within this episode are, the intrepid hosts did survive to tell the tale you are about to hear. Take the contents of this episode as a serious warning to avoid Frank Shoemaker Marsh at any cost!!!

So god dammit Small Dave and Dr Loud are telling the universe about Sheridan, a strange, winding road that causes around 90% of Lincoln’s car accidents. This is a public service announcement in very long form, and by that, we mean that the intrepid explorers do talk about balls at some point. What else are Small Dave and Dr Loud supposed to do with a borough like Sheridan?

The gentlemen discuss Taco Inn and Romantix, Subway and Critters. Institutional racism in neighborhood planning. Classic comedy and big band music. A celebrity food death conspiracy theory. A frightful telling by Small Dave of the scary creepy side of Indian Village. The hosts devolve into a psychological meltdown for for about an hour. But Dr Loud edited out over half of the original source recording in an attempt to preserve the hosts’ marketability in the Lincoln job market in the real world, outside of this podcast.

Dr. Loud has had way too much to drink, and the recently appointed Boroughs manager Marlo is still getting the hang of the new position, but with some friendly advice from Small Dave, who yells at the doctor for laughing too much during the recording, which proves to be the “shittiest” and also “best” recording of the fellers’ careers, which aren’t really careers, if one were to put any of this through the slightest level of even the most charitable scrutiny.

The hosts pen another great epic about Bethany, The Business, and Methaney. 

In a disturbing and someday legendary thought experiment, Small Dave tries to empathize with some of the former president’s more appalling sensibilities throughout this groundbreaking breakthrough broken breakbeat of an episode of Boroughs of Lincoln.

The dudes do a Saturday night episode after band practice and Dr. Loud is absolutely fuckin’ shast-handled after drinking 49 beers. Small Dave says he isn’t drunk, but whatever, this is “the most inane episode” of Boroughs. So far! Small Dave yells at everybody a lot, whether he’s drunk or not. If it’s legal in your province smoke some store-bought pot. Somewhere in this episode there might be a plot. But then again, if you examine your tongue in the mirror, it might have spots.

Wow, your hosts really don’t like this borough. Capitol Beach gets the bad treatment in this one. They talk about the killer insect species that dwell in and terrorize Capitol Beach, and they talk about the dredgings. The bacterial elements, giant plumes, cannibal fishes. Small Dave literally eats peanuts in the microphone the whole time because he knows that’s how legion likes it in Capitol Beach. Small Dave tells a touching story about his father, who also thought Capitol Beach was a shitfuckhouse. The dudes even try, as a thought exercise, to imagine any redeeming qualities of Capitol Beach, which brings them to the only good thing to ever come from the area, the original D’Leon’s, which probably technically is in West O, so fuck Capitol Beach.

Small Dave begins season 2 with an emotional send off to Dr. England, as the boss-man embarks on a voyage to reclaim his lost empire. The hosts press forward bravely even as their hopes to be on the Allendale Analytics label are dashed. They channel their confusion and sadness into a beam of rage at local business leaders not content with their fortunes but also those of Small Dave and Dr. Loud by naming new boroughs! Which will not stand.

“Small Dave, just give legion a break, usually, you’re making’ legion vomit, now you’re making’ legion pass out. Poor legion!”
