He seems like a guy with no game trying to get laid. But he also can’t get away from his old, terrible radio bits as he treats us to a round of Scorch’s Psychotic 6. Cringe of the Week features Elijah Schaffer fighting with his producer while being belligerent on his own show. Myster Magenta has a great new song parody. Chad Zumock reluctantly drops the copyright strike against Patrick Melton. He then deals with moderator drama and couldn’t make it less interesting. The Portcast with Ron Bennington is extremely compelling. We find out why Gallagher had to move in with Artie Fletcher’s mom. Jerry Banfield was manically depressed that a woman doesn’t like him the way he likes her, so he comforted himself with hours of communicating with AI. He then completely changed his business model once again and it just keeps getting worse. Opie actually figured out a way to start making money. He’s using reverse psychology and it’s actually effective! Ron is continuing to piss me off with his lack of gratitude. Megan and Annie join the show to play Megan’s “Is It Gay?” and Simon’s “Opie or Burr” games. We finish with comments, reviews, and voicemails.
