Listeners, we have a question for you: what is a surprise? Well, if you're Greg, the answer is "lying." Are lies surprises? Can the truth ever be a surprise? These are the questions we gloss over in favor of discussing the storied career of Bradley Whitford. "Surprise!"
In this episode - David gets tired of leaks. Giovanni is shocked by defying genre conventions. Tess evangelizes the egg rabbit. Greg lies over and over.

Listeners - please know that we are not exaggerating when we tell you that this is one of the best 3/4ths of an episode we've ever released. This episode is full thoughtful insights into our relationship to nature as creators, game players, and humans in general. But, it is the nature of the scorpion to sting - and that is exactly what Greg does to the last 1/4th of this episode. This is 'Nature.' Please enjoy.
In this episode - Tess reflects on the colonial mindset toward nature reflected in media. Giovanni probes the limits of nature as a digital construct. David explores the visual beauty of nature and briefly ponders the concept of the sublime. Greg asks, "why isn't Mario taller?"

Sorry, listeners. You're going to have to attempt this episode again after you've acquired the EARS upgrade. You could try to brute force it but it's really much easier once you have EARS.
In this 'Metroidvania' episode - Greg opens the show with the longest joke we've ever heard. David succeeds at the metroidvania of life. Giovanni has bad opinions on Hollow Knight. Tess is away - laying low across county lines until the heat dies down.
