In this penultimate episode of the series, harken back to "Leavin' Jeevan"'s storyline. Pre-nostalgia sets in as the hosts approach the finish line. What will they talk about once Kirsten, Jeevan, and co are gone? All existence is a lesson in impermanence, and The Moon Under Water is no exception. We watch, we listen, we read, we set up our gear, we drink our beer, we push record, we talk, we push stop, we pack up our gear, we go. Alas.

Spoiler: Kirsten wakes up from her poison dream. Whew! That was close.

This is the episode where Tyler returns to the Museum of Civilization, with a bone to pick with various parental units and the whole scheme in general. Kirsten's not so into being locked up, but the rest of the troupe are kind of cool with it, as long as they get warm water.

Old bearded dudes make out, which proves that gays aren't always young and hot. They can be old and hot for their ages too.

Daniels enjoys pointing out how Clarke goes full Lear while also being part Claudius (adding up to over 100% but whose counting, besides Jones?), and Smashmouth ties the whole thing together with a Christmas Train you'll have to listen to to understand. All to say you don't want to miss this almost penultimate episode.

Welcome to the 69th episode!

Flashback warning: this one is about Kirsten hallucinating-remembering the bad old days while she's dying of poison in worse new days. (Don't worry, she survives.) If you were missing the whole thing about the months in Frank's apartment and why they left, well, here's the makeup exam. Tune in for Jones just kind of killing it in his textual analysis while Daniels goes damn son you're on fire.
