Episode 223: Grindset SpongeBob

Comedian Eli Yudin joins the show for what starts as a chat about animation and art school but quickly spirals into deep discussion on why everything is broken. We cover the important stuff: why old Newgrounds animations slapped, whether musical comedy is real comedy, the insane labor practices destroying creative industries, why growth-obsessed capitalism is a death cult, and most crucially, the correct Elden Ring build.

Eli shares stories about his comedy special “Humble Offering,” explains why he now reads weird little tales instead of doing traditional standup, and reveals his shameful addiction to Escape from Tarkov despite the game being held together with duct tape and broken quests. There’s also a detour into how National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation proves that workers have lost all their power, a passionate defense of Tom and Jerry’s artistic merit, and Spencer admitting he beat Dark Souls III by just punching everything to death.
