    31 - This Little Piggy

    It is a period of civil war on the podcast. A brave alliance of underground freedom fighters led by JACK LYNCH have challenged the tyranny and oppression of the awesome MATTEO AZARI. Striking from a fortress hidden among the billion episodes of the podcast, Jack's spaceships have won their first victory in a battle with the powerful Azari Starfleet. AZARI fears that another defeat could bring a thousand more fans into the rebellion, and his control over the podcast would be lost forever. To crush the rebellion once and for all, AZARI is constructing a sinister new episode concept. Powerful enough to destroy an entire planet, its completion spells certain doom for the champions of freedom.but for real, Matteo tells old family stories, Jack accuses him of having 45 Feet Finder accounts, then they both fail at spelling complex words that literal children can and have dilineated.
