TAKE TWO I just have to tell you guys, this was like the 116 pages episode. I accidentally deleted the wrong tracks and you may or may not believe me but it's Cafe Rio's fault, so I spent 30 minutes googling how to recover garage band tracks that you accidentally deleted, and lo and behold you can find them if you right click the project and select "show package contents" and you know what? In this episode I say the word scrotum so that's kind of appropriate for a show package contents mishap.

Rolling Stones magazine called this episode "Provocatively entertaining, Benji and Jake take you on a journey of the mind that will leave you believing things you never thought possible and doubting things you thought were undoubtable. Imagine taking all the wisdom of the Bible, or any holy book for that manner, and changing the setting to something a little more aquatic. THAT is what this episode of North and Goal feels like. Actually it's two episodes, so there's that."
