There's some golf wisdom, strategic comedic advice, gnomes, and soothing airplane noise. Trust me its beautiful. The tiny car video is from Cleveland not Atlanta.

Belly gives us his first impressions on the new video game Stray. Tor reveals one of his closest guarded secrets. Then we bring in some experts to help Zach with the political side of EDH. Stick around after the ep for a little extra dash of Zach. Oh and when Tor says filigree sages, he actually meant sen triplets.

It's another chaos episode--Tor, Zach, Mike, and Belly talk about life, death, marriage, rebirth, the cycle of life...the angelic quartet is joined by a new, utterly perplexing character from the deep recesses of the ILYM-multiverse, Zach delivers his magnum opus cold-open, and Belly goes nuclear. Finally, Mike, Tor, Belly, and MaRo play PID GAME* and subsequently lose their minds. *The ILYM-aficionado might surmise that we recorded this ep before last week's Dune-review-double-header because we wanted to ride the cultural zietgest wave on-time for once. Well, this week the sins from our past have caught up to us because the majority of the ep is structured around the hit Netflix show Squid Game, which is even older news than DUNE (2021) by now.

There is no structure to this episode. It's a formless blob of words. A cuttlefish removed from it's natural habitat. We have outdone ourselves here and we can assure you that we will continue to lower the bar.

Mike, Zach, Tor & Belly ride the zeitgeist sandworm and talk Denis Villeneuve's Dune (2021). This is a SPOILER HEAVY episode so if you haven't read Frank Herbert's Dune or watched any of the Hollywood adaptions, well, you'll probably still be in luck because the first half of the episode is typical I Love You, Mana preroll nonsense. In the beginning, Zach, Belly and Mike (5:25) chop it up and talk about Zach's new beau and their romantic bonfire date; Zach attempts to retell (10:18) a "spooky" story; Zach & Tor reminisce (23:10) about a classic ep from the archives ("The Devil is in the Flavor Text", June 27th, 2018); Mike shares (25:19) another story from his Dad, Joe Lester; finally, [SPOILER ALERT] the gang (37:36) settles in to discuss DUNE; Tor (38:30) uncovers a powerful, secret message; Belly delivers the cold open/ode to Frank Herbert/Zach Kagan fan fiction (47:43); thereafter a full DUNE recap/review/build-a-set is unloaded—THE SPICE MUST FLOW.

In the fallout of the "I Love You, Mana Live! III" podcast show, Mike and Belly are left to pick up the pieces. Without the bosoms of Zach and Tor to keep them warm, M&M search for answers in this new, post-apocalyptic hell world and (1:29) try to remember what exactly happened on the night of October 9th. Luckily, an old, intergalactic friend comes to the rescue (15:09) and guides our lovable hosts through space and time so that they might partake from the forbidden fruit--that's right folks, it's A CLIP SHOW. Mike and his mom, Sib, (16:40) read an explosive story from Mike's father, Joe Lester. And Mike and Zach (42:22) share a rare and touching moment talking about edibles and cousin love.
