| 9/15/25 |  BONUS 9 Don Quixote's Many Countenances: The Lady May Play Her Guitar By The Close Of The Fifth Act | Idle listener: thou mayest believe me without any oath that I would this podcast, as it is the child of our brain, were the fairest, gayest, and cleverest that could be imagined. But I could not counteract Nature's law that everything shall beget its like; and what, then, could this sterile, illtilled wit of ours beget but the study of a dry, shrivelled, whimsical man, in arts beset by drunken dads and sickly pale horses, by guitar playing ladies and miniature squires, by star wars heads and amalgamate uma musume. My wish would be simply to present it to thee plain and unadorned, without any embellishment of preface or uncountable muster of customary sonnets, epigrams, and questions, such as are commonly put in the episode description; I have given thee condensed all the squirely drolleries that are scattered through the swarm of these vain images of Don Quixote. And so—may God give thee health, and not forget us. Vale.

| 9/7/25 |  S1E27 It's Mommy Time! | In this episode, one for the moms, we zoom in on the Mature, Intelligent, Lovely, and Friendly Sawako Kitami, a mother you'd like to meet at the grocery store, a mother you'd like to hangout with at an evening party, a mother you'd like to rob a casino with, a mother you'd like to...so on and so forth, and we ask a question and then ask it 98 more times: Do you love mommy? Well, then why do you never call her? ...If it isn't clear, there's a lot of Deltarune chapter 3 references in this episode. That's still the current hotness, right?

Then, bring out the band with Jade Noodles, Wiš'adel, and Phoenix Tail Prawn, asking a very important question of you, dear listener: Do you think the hardworking men who care for our communites, who care for our loved ones, our children and our qilin, deserve love, support, and nutrients of their own?
