## Official Episode Description

This episode is a time for somber reflection, as the boys gently, diplomatically, and eloquently allow Ann to hear (in the most thoughtful and sober way possible) exactly why what she did to Dawn WILL NEVER BE OK, ANN. NEVER. Also this week, Hodges has gone completely off the deep end, and Jack and Tanner follow him merrily over the edge with a whole slew of powerful and dynamic new segments. There’s also a new player in town, who has Goliath Hardbody shaking in his manly boots.

## Segments

###  Burn Of The Week

Jack: "I guess you guys took your moron pills this morning."

###  Deep Voice Boys

Jack is Goliath. Tanner is Zeus Rockthrob, President and Chairman of the Rockthrob Conglomerate. Tanner's secretary is Hercules Hardbottom. Zeus is calling about how Goliath is releasing the CAO Dawn. Zeus is upset; he started as CAO himself.

###  Lerangis Moment

Jack "officially" introduces the Lerangis Moment segment. Tanner officially introduces the parody song by singing a parody of Shania Twain's From This Moment

Jack: "That sounds sickening. It's for thickening."

Tanner: a scene from a sitcom

###  Soileau You Into the Dark

The cover scene doesn't actually happen in the book. Barack Obama is featured in the open locker. There is also Hodges-baiting in this book.

This week, Tanner and Jack officially name the segment, and spend some time workshopping the title. Jack comes up with the title. The theme song is Death Cab for Cutie's Swallow You Into the Dark + Sublime's Caress Me Down.

###  Tearful Moment

Joint tearful moment: the goodbye scene at the airport. "Let Daddy love you as much as I do."

## Theories

###  Bee Theory

Bees abscond in the fall, go crazy in the fall - when a colony of honeybees finds a new home.
