Episode 235: Purplessness

Spencer kicks things off with a rousing game of “What Makes the Sound?” (a cow makes a moo, in case you were on the edge of your seat). From there, we meander gloriously through soda reviews. Kevin tries Dirty Mountain Dew and hates it, Spencer demolishes an entire can of Cuban Iron Beer soda like a man who has found religion, and somewhere in between, Spencer confesses to eating 900 calories of bread because Whole Foods lied to him about having strawberry pretzel cream pie.

In between all of this, Spencer delivers breaking analysis on the collapse of American political discourse, explains why British panel shows are secretly the peak of human civilization, and provides a surprisingly detailed update on his indie video game development, which now features 625 hexagons and a working raycast-based selection mechanic. Kevin, for his part, earns the wrath of the Discord chat by admitting he’s never given hot Dr. Pepper a fair chance, and bravely promises to revisit the issue despite clearly not wanting to.

The episode wraps with Spencer pitching a spinoff podcast called “Spenpai’s Spleen Pod” dedicated entirely to lore about The Spleen, a brief meditation on whether their intro music is weeding out the right people, and an anime recommendation about an anxious J-pop idol whose house is a disaster. It’s a chaotic, deeply human hour of podcasting that somehow holds together through the sheer force of two guys who genuinely like talking to each other. Subscribe on YouTube.
