As explained in the episode itself, it would be impossible to do this episode without using one particular Oedipal epithet, but use of that term would lose this podcast its clean rating. Therefore this is a censored version of the episode, with the many, many, many uses of that word replaced. Patreon backers have access to an uncensored version, if you want to hear me say a lot of swear words.

Patreon backers also have a twenty-four-minute bonus episode available, on “Get Together” by the Youngbloods.

Tilt Araiza has assisted invaluably by editing, and will hopefully be doing so from now on.

Also, thanks to Mia Murch for checking the final version and making sure no expletives were left in.
