Wigerstrike

Nick Wiger, striking

Nick, as a member of the Writers Guild of America, will not be writing intros for episodes as long as the concurrent WGA strike continues. (Podcasts are not under the WGA purview, but Nick is expressing solidarity.) Similarly, SAG-AFTRA, of which Mitch is a member, is also striking. For more information, go to this website or this one. (Or this one.)

The striking guidelines allow for podcast appearances, but also do not allow any actual promotion of acting work. This episode was recorded prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Mitchell vs. The Machines[]

Twistedicecream

In this new segment, after a request from Mitch to Amelia to come up with some "insane bullshit."

Mitch and Joe are at an ice-cream parlor where the machine can mix and match unusual flavors. Each machine has its own theme, and Mitch and the guest come up with a combination of unusual flavors to fit the theme. The Machine (Nick) decides which is more appealing and will M. Night Shyamalan the combo (if he likes it). The person who gets M. Night Shyamalaned the most is the winner; the other remains dead the whole time.

machine theme Mitch's combo Samoa Joe's combo M. Night Shyamalan score (MM - SJ)
fruit pineapple and apple pineapple and chili pepper Samoa Joe 0 - 1
live-event snacks beer and frozen lemonade soft pretzel and caramel apple Mitch 1 - 1
fast-food logos Wendy's and Jollibee Chick-fil-A and flames Samoa Joe 1 - 2
