Coles STILL in Japan, and Mike & Jay have the whole studio to themselves. How irresponsible of Cole to leave them so much responsibility and power over the podcast. However, they couldn't figure out what would be a good episode (and are too lazy to think of one), so they spend this episode ruminating on what they've been watching and reading lately. Also! Jay is over-thinking how he wants to play a game of cards, and Mike is entering school for hackerz.
