***EDITOR'S NOTE***

Some settings got messed up with this episode so the audio isn't our best. Both mics, especially Jason's, have a lot of echo going on. I did what I could to make it as listenable as possible but if it's too annoying I'll understand. I promise to have this fixed before we record the next one.

For better or worse, Childish Gambino's Because the Internet acts as a time capsule of 2014 internet and pop culture. The album simultaniously feels nostalgic and also dated. Some stuff on this album has aged really well and still sound pretty fresh over a decade later. Lets just say the other stuff really feels like a product of its time. Regardless we had a lot of fun doing this episode and revisiting 2014 while discussing the album Donald Glover left Community for.

The album I have is the deluxe edition with the holographic slip cover and the full script Glover wrote to accompany the album. The records themselves are a very nice 180g black pressing with a nicely trimmed flat edge around the disc. My only real gripes with this pressing are the fact that the LPs aren't labeled with side a/b markers and the slip cover makes it VERY easy to just straight up drop everything the second you pick it up. Other than that it's a very cool pressing that I like a lot.

In the news corner this episode we talk all about the former guitarist of Turnstile who attempted to do a teensy bit of vehicular manslaughter on Turnstile's vocalist's dad and sister and a small child. Note that this episode was recorded before the guitarists recent court appearance.
