Elliott and Peter discuss symbolic death, self-sabotage, and how to catfish children. Following a spat of online humiliation from Ethan and Hila Klein at H3H3, Elliott and Peter dive in head-first. It’s an excellent, uncomfortable, embarrassing, great episode! As always, feel free to subscribe to this podcast on iTunes and leave us a loving review, and don’t forget to check out our recent live episode, where we took over an old Baptist church to discuss castration, obviously.
