We have only one thing to say to this week - and that's "ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bwaaaaaaah." If you can't deduce this episode is about Master Ninja I from that, then you're probably listening to the wrong podcast. Or, it's just a terrible representation of Gypsy-singing. Probably the latter. But to be honest, you probably saw it in the episode title.Host segments: patchouli and self-loathing; say it, Joe; Jeff old-mansplains the Ninja Craze of the late 1900s; inside the mind of a van owner; nostalgia overload; the fate of Clu Gallagher; we get inordinately upset about Max.Please like, share, rate, subscribe!

Jeff got so jazzed about Devori's many, many excellent Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf jokes that he legit grabbed the mic and that's why his audio is shitty for the last 1/2 of the episode.
