Can ten listens to 100 gecs turn irritation into appreciation? Steve puts Mike through a Money Machine experiment, complete with Mike's recorded reactions after listens one, five, and ten. The brothers dig into hyperpop, abrasive pop hooks, digitally altered voices, and the deeply annoying possibility that Steve's plan worked.

Then Mike follows a trail from Hanuman and the Ramayana through Sun Wukong and Journey to the West to Dragon Ball and One Piece. Steve has questions about immortality stacking, questionable peach-orchard management, and how long an anime discussion can go without mentioning anime.

Explicit language and adult humor. Includes discussion of a fatal fall, mythological violence, and spoilers for Dragon Ball and later One Piece abilities. The mythology and influence connections are the hosts' discussion, including a debated Hanuman–Sun Wukong connection.

Mike tells Steve how he got into Dungeons & Dragons, accidentally recruited a roommate, and developed a grudge against Strahd so strong it needed a whole campaign to settle. Holy water, creative rules interpretations, and an extremely impartial Dungeon Master all make an appearance.

Then Steve introduces Evo Moment #37: Daigo, Justin Wong, and a Street Fighter comeback that takes a lot more explaining than Mike expected. We get into arcade culture, parries, prediction, and why the crowd loses its mind. Plus: Naruto outfits, an unfairly maligned ferret, and an Otamatone finale.

Explicit language. Contains Curse of Strahd spoilers and discussion of fictional violence and suicide in a character backstory.

Steve introduces Mike to Gene Ray's Time Cube, a theory with four simultaneous days, a very confident website, and an increasingly bewildered audience of one. Mike tries to get a straight answer while Steve makes the case for cubic time.

Mike follows with a winding discussion of Halloween's history, from ancient festivals and wandering spirits to jack-o'-lanterns, trick-or-treating, and horror movies. Along the way: a devil who keeps getting outsmarted, a badly timed AC break, and the brothers' first YouTube critic.

Contains strong language, discussion of racist ideas in the Time Cube material, and plot details from Halloween (1978).
