We've made it to the end of another successful season! Thank you all for your ideas, jokes, insults, memes, commentary, feedback, and encouragement. It's been quite astonishing seeing so many peasants contribute to this community. As is tradition, the lads take listener calls during the finale.
Guests for Part One:
1. The Infamous "Thelan Den" of the Green Mountain State, a tragic victim of a clerical error

Topics include:
- Clearing up reputations
- Domestic intellectuality
- Stumbling upon hobbits
- Favorite segments of the show
- Roasting Johnny

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 featuring Finn "same family as Chris from Ireland" Mehigan. Chris immediately says a wrong word. The lads explore the sugar argument from last episode in more detail. The conversation steers to the French. Chris refuses to accept the results of the Beloved poll. Finn gives an ancient language test. Finn's Pop Take brings sushi to the breakfast table. The Intellectual sends the guest to the gulag for his performance in Do You Have What It Takes to Be an Intellectual.

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. After a brief foray into the world of cryptocurrency, The Intellectual tests Mr. Hiney's knowledge on The Crusades.

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.
