Episode 42: Trojan Termites In classic Knife Nuts fashion, we're a little late in giving you our 2019 year-end wrap up.

Oh, and there's a very special guest on this episode whom Brian finally gets to confront. Th...

Episode 27: Q&A Well I don't really have a funny description for this one, it's just us answering listener-provided questions like "what two makers would you like to see collaborate and what production company would you like to handle it?" or "Which host of the podcast would survive longest in a zombie apocalypse?".
