In an extremely meta-episode: Matt and Ian talk about Mike and Charles talking about last week's episode, as well as react to everyone else's reactions.

DON’T TALK TO COPS, MMKAY?? Ian and Matt analyze one of the worst interrogations ever, and falsely confess to what they would probably do if they were in the hot seat. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Matt and Ian stall for as long as humanly possible in an effort to avoid discussing one of the saddest episodes of Sword and Scale ever.
