Episode six of the podcast is, let’s be honest, a mess. Ashley doesn’t know how to speak (prelavent?). Bailey says “Oh my God” and “Jesus Christ” A LOT. Random sounds everywhere. It’s a glorious train wreck of a podcast. Although, this is probably the most like them, and they had a lot of fun talking about the anime Yuri!!! on Ice, a favorite of Ashley’s. They talk through the ambiguity of Yuri and Victor’s relationship and actually have some of the best in-depth conversation they’ve ever had on the podcast. Afterwards, they sort of take a trip down memory lane when discussing the question “Why is Anime so Popular in the United States?”…that is when they’re not getting off topic about a picture of a cat.
