In this episode, Tom and Ed speak to...me! (James L'éditor.) I thought I'd have to redact this whole episode, but rare for this podcast, everything got left in. In this episode, we talked about School, Music Production, Faith and Future Plans. Hope you enjoy it!

In this episode, Tom and Ed brave the dreaded iron fist of your judgment found in our beloved comments. Some are hate, some could be argued to simply be astute observations. We hope you enjoy this episode, and what could be considered to be a soft reboot of the podcast!

In this episode, Ed and Tom are on a spicy adventure to the Scoville citadel. After flipping a coin, one of them has to pick a concerto on a certain instrument. Then, depending on the concerto they choose and how they explain it, they'll get hot sauce punishments, from Nando's hot sauce to psycho juice (yep, that's a real thing). We hope you have a blast watching this spicy episode!
