Hey, this is Doug Benson, and you're listening to Mad Scientist Party Hour?

That's always great when somebody does a bumper where they act like they're not aware of the show.

My life!

Oh, hello, and welcome to a special edition of Mad Scientist Party Hour.

The firing, too, electric poobaloo.

Yeah, long time no see, everybody. What's up?

I know we just dropped an episode yesterday, but as you may have heard, there's been some developments recently.

So, we got together, myself, Jeff, Shuddy Boy, we congregated here to drop another episode.

Just a real quick, get everybody up to speed, let everybody know what's going on.

So, I have been fired for the second time in two years, which, boy, as a 40-year-old man, that sure feels great.

I don't even know where to jump in. Like, I'm so tense about this.

Like, I told you before we started to record, I'm ready to go to war.

Like, I'm very tense and agitated.

Well, Shuddy Boy, I know you've always got my back. I always appreciate it, but you can lay the musket down.

You know, we're not here to necessarily go into mother fuck mode, not going scorched earth.

I am, however, going to speak freely.

And some shit might come out that might not make some people happy.

But the other parties were able to get their side out freely.

You should be able to get your side, our side out freely.

Yeah, and that's what's going to happen.

So, I got a text Monday from Jason Ellis saying,

we need to talk in person.
