We hope you enjoyed the pre-episode 30 shenanigans! This week we talk mustaches and look back at college pranks.

30 - Billy Buccee & The Bongos Jubilee

Happy Holidays! This week The Squids try and unwind after a rough day at work. They talk about Christmas gifts they wanted as kids, try to pronounce Louisville, enjoy listeners voicemails, and a heated debate ensues. They ponder the nutritional value of large rodents, take a stab at solving marriage problems, and Kevin gets lost with all the "time out" and "time in" accidentally revealing the secret of Brock Dittus. 

Smokey This Is Not 'Nam. This Is Podcasting. There Are Rules.

In this episode we take a deep dive into pulling pranks on unsuspecting podcasters (and listeners). Other topics discussed were Furnace Fest, Switchfoot (probably), grilled cheese, global warming, Cybertrucks, beefaroo, Casa Bonita, video games, and not taking show descriptions seriously. Harmless pranks are the best kind of pranks.
