Hey dog, the algorithm told me you like SpongeBob, is that true? You should totally listen to this podcast episode then, it's got great stuff like cool segments, a funny host, the guests are um well the guests are fine but the sound clips are great, legally a bit of a gray area as far as copyright goes but I think it falls under "fair use" since it's technically commentary, anyway I was just talking to the algorithm and it seems like you should really listen to this episode. Oh what's in it? Yeah I guess I should say something about that too
Is SpongeBob tough enough to get into the Salty Spittoon? And can Squidward make the Krusty Krab fancy enough to impress Squilliam?? Mark Milligan joins us again to discuss!!
