While Ewan is away on his GRAND vacation, Lachlan enlists Kevin's help to turn the podcast—much like Australia—upside down! Even grander is the TRIPLE, yes, you heard it... TRIPLE feature we're doing this week from a creep called Mr. Reed, played by Hugh Grant, to an otter being homies with Billy, and ending in prison with some theater prodigies led by Colman Domingo bringing a reality that doesn't exist beyond the prison walls to life. Heretic, Billy & Molly, and Sing Sing are the week's main topics today! Dare I say it, but... episode 213 is one for the history books folks!
