Another great season of R+M. I cannot imagine a life without this amazing podcast to go to after each episode. Many thanks!
I'm a sucker for the more sentimental episodes like "Field of Dreams" and "Ricks Days, Seven Nights", so I loved the finale. I can't wait to hear which are your favorite episodes this season. For what it's worth, Jer Bud (w/ the return of Snowball) was one of my least best episodes. However, I went back and watched it again recently and found it more entertaining. The Jerry part of the story is just so good. His line "You are ALL my wife now!" was so reminiscent of the time he said, "I'm the Jesus Christ of Christmas!" So funny!
Two things before I close:
Thank goodness for the return of the pool!
I was so glad to hear neither of you remembered where the Mr. Poopy Butthole saga left off. I too was clueless during the close. I gotta go back (or I will just wait for Unity to chime in during the next podcast).
Thanks for all you do!
100 Years!
