Guests for Part One:

3. Chris of The Old Dominion, who claims a dubious connection with a so-called International Intellectual Institute.

Topics include:
- Clearing up reputations
- Domestic intellectuality
- Stumbling upon hobbits
- Favorite segments of the show
- Roasting Johnny
- Hard-hitting questions like, Hello...Hello...is Johnny?
- The meaning of life in one word

Sean Tchackichickh, sender of multiple emails to the lads, joins the show today. Big question of the day: How are you supposed to refer to Gatorade flavors? The lads share a sweet melody. A listener shares additional thoughts on the old people conundrum. Sean sees his moment. Chris calls out government overreach in his bedroom. The guest, under fire for a LOTR typo, makes excuses. The guest, under fire for his last name, gives a history lesson. The guest under fire for not being offended, refuses to get offended. Around the Table calls back to some serious LOTR Bombadillo analysis.  The guest Pop Take may stupefy some big HP fans. DYHWITTBAI tests the guest on Zeus' seduction methods. Johnny refuses to let the show end without turning the spotlight on himself.

Special episode featuring Conor Brown, Disney World expert, travel agent, and host of the WDW Opinion Podcast. The polls are in and the anti-elderly league came out in full force. Conor's Pop Take strikes a resounding blow at a regal cultural icon. Conor is now in Witness Protection. In Around the Table, at what point do we have to press the off switch on robots?  Do You Have What It Takes to Be an Intellectual brings a rapid-fire onslaught and furious  counter-attack never before seen on the show. The lads conclude the show with an astonishingly thoughtful and informative Disney World Q&A. 

The lads pay homage to the red, white, and berries popsicles. Johnny, quite naturally, trashes the episode that did not include him. Over 80% of you supported Finn's "eat anything at any time" pop take from last week. The lads read a voluminous listener email. Chris hijacks Breaking News From Florida and gives a first-hand account of a curious incident at a convenience store. Pat doesn't like mushrooms. Johnny's Pop Take strikes hard and fast at the elderly community. Pat gives a lackluster showing in the first listener-requested quote for the LOTR Impersonation contest. Johnny's Corner explores alien diplomacy.

Guest episode with Michael "Hiney" Heinssen.  Should Johnny be "The Beloved" instead of Chris? The lads engage in some baby talk and poetry reading. In Breaking News From Florida, the absence of letters drives a man to fury. Credit card offers validate Pat's existence. Guest, Mr. Hiney, is the first to bring sources to back up his dopamine-filled Pop Take. The lads bring back the age old classic of hating the French for no reason. Pat accidentally reveals a deep hatred of coma patients. Mr. Hiney lashes out at his courteous hosts for critiquing his heartfelt and generous Apple Podcasts review.  The lads delve into the uncomfortable feeling of listening to your own voice.

Johnny has a clubfoot. The lads wonder what happened to the pandemic baking craze and debate the merits of a good loaf. Almost 1/3 of you guys apparently have heard of Stewart Cink. Johnny starts a listener war over Chic-fil-A sauce.  Listener, TheIanDen, redeems himself with an incisive review of Johnny's personality. Breaking News From Florida investigates the arrest of a skilled street gymnast. Pat gets offended and lashes out at babies.   The adventures of Johnny and Major Funkdu continue as the lads analyze another quote In the Trenches With Tolkien: "All's well that ends better." Another joke goes over Pat's head.

Johnny undergoes therapy. Pat can't say caramel. Johnny is responsible and drinks ginger ale. The lads have started gambling; they also know a thing or two about The Bible. Breaking News From Florida sees...surprise, surprise...yet another altercation at a fast food joint. Chris comes to the table with theories of the Beyond. Johnny has a thought about the multiverse that would be idiotic in every single universe. The lads go Into the Trenches With Tolkien to explore the evil of tears and roast Pat for the way he speaks.

Reminder to submit a written review to Apple Podcasts and share the show with your friends! The lads rehash Sully's Pop Takes from the previous week. Johnny has a bubble in his throat. Do you know who Stewart Cink is? Breaking News From Florida sees an esteemed artist scissor kick a polite tourist. Johnny's Pop Take strikes out at the Chic-fil-a old guard. Chris, of course, goes on a rant. Around the Table explores the oddity of Zoom meetings even though you can see the people you are meeting with through your window. Naturally, windows become a hot topic. Chris has a romantic encounter with a window washer. Pat has a panicked encounter with a painter. Johnny has concerns about teeth temperature. The LOTR Impersonation contest does not stop until nightfall. Chris finds himself in Zodiac memery.
