This week, our hosts are getting into the thick of it with "Griffon the Brush-Off," aka the episode where Rainbow Dash gaslights Revy from Black Lagoon, and "Boast Busters," aka the episode that introduces the only bit character who matters. Further episode summary has been replaced with sounds of Theo going "YEAH BOI" for increasingly long stretches of time.

This week, join our hosts as they get back to "The Ticket Master," aka the start of the closest thing this season has to a story arc, and "Applebuck Season," aka the episode that makes Theo extremely normal about his one true god. Will our heroes be able to work out the logistics of obtaining a business license? Will our hosts be able to avoid fucking technical issues on their second episode ever? Only time will tell!

Welcome back to the grind, you pasty fucks! This week, we've got a Cutie Mark Crusader double feature on the assembly line, starting with a Fluttershy torture session in "Stare Master" and ending with an everypony torture session in "The Show Stoppers." We come no closer to dispelling the dystopian mythology of cutie marks, and will forever observe the process in stultified horror. Enjoy!

Not green like that! Green as in "Green Isn't Your Color," which guest Dan "Big Challenges" Silva has been lovely enough to stop in for this week! In fact, you could say he's put in a dogged amount of effort, which is fitting given that our other episode is "A Dog and Pony Show." Oh, we have fun here. Please don't report us to OSHA.
