Bonus episode 1, wherein day old fish is soaked in some water and sold as the catch of the day.
It was promised at the beginning of the month, and just like a deadbeat dad who promises to bring an extra good present the next time he visits, it is delivered. In this case, the deadbeat dad promised a puppy, but what came out of the kennel crate is actually the oldest, mangiest, cheapest dog they had. The analogy falls apart from this point forward, so we'll let it die gracefully. Just like the old dog.
In this episode, Peat cobbles together a Frankenstein monster from clips of Episode 7 Skynet vs. the Matrix and Episode 8 Galactus vs. Unicron. These clips are material that was removed for one reason or another, so it's technically all new. Technically. And the aforementioned reasons are definitely not "they sucked" or "they weren't funny." How dare you even think that.
Flying solo as a host for the first time, Peat starts out awkwardly as he introduces each clip, but about halfway through he starts drinking and getting increasingly belligerent. It's so rewarding when a drunk little bird finally leaves the nest.

Skynet vs The Matrix
Episode 7, wherein the boys cannot decide whether to make a fate or take a Dozer.
In an unofficial sequel to the John Connor/Marty McFly bout (and what franchise doesn't like a sequel or four?), we look at a pair of cold, calculating machine armies bent of the destruction of humanity. Skynet, from the Terminator franchise, does battle against the machines from the Matrix trilogy. Hunter-Killers against Squids, Agents against T-800s, Helena Bonham Carter against Hugo Weaving! Well, maybe not.
Pyg, in an effort to conserve energy for the impending robot apocalypse, champions Skynet. Peat plugs himself into various things with internet jacks in order to defend the Matrix.
When elephants fight, the grass dies. When robots fight ... well, the grass still dies. Especially if the machines are lawn mowers.

Episode 7, or, Blame the Machines
UPDATE THE SECOND:
As a point of clarity, we finally got the episode edited and will be releasing it as a single episode. Whenever possible, we prefer to not split the episodes in half. Maybe it's a personal preference, but we think it's better to have one long episode that you can pause rather than two short episodes that abruptly break somewhere in the middle.
But we will still release a bonus episode made up of some bits that were cut out of this episode. Yes, originally this episode was longer than 70 minutes. And the next new episode will be on March 5th.
Thanks again for your patience.
UPDATE:
We're still having some technical difficulties with this month's episode. Clearly, Peat must have done something to piss off the agents, so they have completely fubared his computer. All of the files have been sent to the Zion that is Pyg's computer for safekeeping. We fully intend to post an episode in the coming days, but we can no longer guarantee a time.
Thanks for your patience, all. If you haven't listened to our entire backlog, now might be a good time to get caught up.

Hi everybody,
Peat ran into some trouble editing this month's episode. Considering it's Skynet vs. The Matrix, it makes a little too much sense that a computer would start causing trouble at this particular time. But we'll say no more, lest our new robot overlords put us in a cell without a view.
Because of these technical difficulties and the overall length of the episode, we split it into two parts. Part 1 will be up late tomorrow. It still needs to be proof-edited (is that a word?) for quality before it's released. We plan to release Part 2 on Monday the 13th, Helena Bonham Carter willing and the creek don't rise. And then on the 20th, we'll release a bonus episode made up of the stuff that had to be cut for time reasons. So, to make up for being a little late, you get three episodes. Quantity is better than quality, right? It is if you're a machine.

The Vs. Promo
Hi! Are you new here? Did you follow our (hopefully functional) QR code after finding it on a flyer hanging in a unisex gas station bathroom somewhere? Are you curious what this show is but don't want to invest more than 3 minutes to find out? You're in luck!
The sound clip below is a promotional clip we worked up recently. It explains the show, introduces the hosts and gives a preview of the next episode (coming out February 6th.) Enjoy.
EDIT: We've been remiss in mentioning the song used in the promo. It's called "Heavy Water" by the band 1000psi. We found the song on Mevio's Music Alley. Be and dear and use them for all your podcasting music needs.

Marty McFly vs. John Connor
Episode 6 - wherein Peat gives Pyg a knuckle sandwich, so Pyg goes back in time to prevent the invention of bread.
John Connor: The Terminator franchise's savior of mankind and perpetual thorn in the digital side of Skynet. Marty McFly: The DeLorean driving 1980's everyman from Back to the Future. Also the inventor of rock & roll and not a butthead or a chicken. In this episode, our hosts try to avoid paradox-induced migraines, ripping the fabric of space/time and making out with their own mothers. In the duel of the time-traveling protagonists, who will prevail? The coolest guy in Hill Valley? Or Sarah Connor's baby boy?
