(We'd like to dedicate this episode, for what our little podcast is worth, to the late and great Akira Toriyama. This episode was recorded a few days before his passing. His creations played a massive part in the lives of four little hillbillies pretending to throw spirit bombs in the backyard and we are sincerely grateful for it. He will be forever missed.)
