Simon lives! STOMP STOMP

Simon and Dan make.... quality content? Purely by accident the boys manage to make something that actually educates people! Also discussion of puppets, limp penises, twitch streaming, and an update to the script! Apologies for the lateness of this episode, it was entirely Dan's fault.

Bring out your dead, bring out your dead.... It's the (first?) coronavirus episode, finding Dan in quarantine and Simon in his element. Clearly the self-isolation has got to the boys though as the take an extended trip into Wonkaland... it's the Wikicast!

The boys discover a Chinese bot conspiracy on wikipedia? Or possibly read too much into some edit history. Also we both lose it at different times in the episode this time, and we experience possibly the most fundamental change in the history of the show... It's the Wikicast!

It's a very special episode. We are joined by Simon's girlfriend Pixel Girl! We talk about your school stories, review the Mandalorian, wonder how Pixel Girl puts up with Simon, and some truths about their relationship come to light... Oh and an armoured fish. Or something. For like ten seconds.
