This was recored at 8 in the morning, when each guy had either 0-4 hours of sleep, so the energy levels are a bit all over the place for the boys this week. So enjoy this sleep deprived episode full of them discussing name spellings and changes, Connor got birthday presents, and the boys talk about movies based on books.

Truly the best way to describe thus episode id by letting you know it will be a recording of Matt's decent into maddness as he only got 3 hours of sleep. With only 4 hours of sleep himself, Connor brings back quizzes for this week to test Matt's knowledge of some deeper Pokemon trivia. This does not go well. Then afterwards Matt talks on the movies he watched this week; K-Pop Demon Hunters and Sinners. Then, at a random point, Matt...

These Boys had a busy week. Connor was off being a leader a youth camp, messing up ancient city's names with the name of even more ancient territories and bring not to hurt his knee more; all while still being scared of middle schoolers. Matt on the other hand was able to make his way to the movies, an Asian market in Pittsburgh and to a dinner with Connor's wife (Matt's fiancee was also with him but Connor's still mad he wasn't th...

I'm gonna be honest, the Boys screwed up on this one. Not only is the episode late, but the Boys were talking about things like Gorilla feet, Oblivion remastered....again?, and the sterilization of men with.........heat. There you go. That's about it. This is what you get when you have two sleep-deprived and pneumonia-ridden Boys stuck in a warehouse in the early hours of the morning. They really should have a disclaimer at the beg...

As a way to keep things fresh here, Connor gives Matt improv lessons throughout this episode to help him get more comfortable with the mission.

It just bears repeating that this is a comedy podcast and these are all jokes. That being said, Connor has beef with RFK Jr., Matt learns of of Reeses' new product, and the boys have a discourse on Easter. Matt then laments on his dry spell of playing TTRPGS. The show is closed out with Matt posing a possible posturer problem.

It's 4 AM and the Boys have me trapped in a warehouse because neither of them wanted to upload this podcast, I guess. I didn't even get to listen to the podcast first. They just said something about Lego sets with no mini figures or something like that. Matt then proceeded to torture me with his "directing" ideas while dressed as... Mother Teresa, I guess? They told me if this episode didn't do well, they were going to...subject me...
