This week, we welcome in a very old friend and musical miracle worker, none other than the one and only Ian Hulford. Ian is the wizard behind many a soundwave you’ve heard on this here show, including all of the Something About You project by our resident myna bird Araless, as well as the up and coming Hash Adams project titled futurethought.

But we didn’t bring Ian in to just talk about music! We dive through a treasure trove of nostalgia. Everything from Corey Feldman and his Angels to The Cable Guy to the legacy of Jon Taffer. Plus, we also discover the exact moment we branched timelines and went into quite possibly the shittiest iteration.

And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where we have exclusive extended episodes! Today, we discuss the fibber’s confidence as well as what it would take to become a “real life” superhero.

And just because we're feeling generous, this week's PATREON EXCLUSIVE section is on us! Here's the full episode now.

What do the Wizard of Oz, 9/11 and Ringo Starr all have in common? I’ll give ya three guesses… Go ahead, I can wait... Besides all being subjects on this week’s episode, they are all topics of great controversy, and that’s why we had to bring back Celina Flores to try and break these down with us.

But of course, these ideas are not self contained… We trailed into many subjects topics, everything from the Coreys and some of their less notable works to the musings of a certain famous 20th century poet who turn out to be more influential than he could have dreamed.

After reflecting on our last bracket where we went through @VHSDates and played matchmaker, our resident bracketologist Drinks w/ Ron came up with the perfect solution for the problem of what to do this month.

So: because this wondrous and beautiful account of newly unearthed video personal ads turned out to be a brilliant improv troupe, we decided to discuss hoaxes. And not just any hoaxes, but ones that got us good. Everything from Andy Kaufman to the Blair Witch Project. All that, and more!
