Talking Naruto Shippuden
Benel Germosen and Lawson Leong test the hypothesis that Naruto is simultaneously the best and worst anime ever made. They commit to watching every episode of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden in chronological order, sharing their chaotic and comedic reactions along the way. The show blends anime criticism with humor from two stand-up comedians with unstable perspectives. It invites listeners to relax and join them in exploring the world of Naruto, ninjutsu, and all things "Dattebayo."

Episode 314 - 315: Yota not Yoya, but with Oliver references throughout
We are wrapping up the final filler arc before getting back to the swing of things with the finale of the Yota arc. Not to be confused with independent pro wrestler Yoya, who Benel had just seen that weekend and who kicks a lot of ass. Also, Lawson saw Oliver over the weekend and won't shut up about it.
Episode 312 - 313: Yota sucks
We're not talking about Yota Tsuji. Yota Tsuji is awesome. The boyz are talking about two episodes that are a complete waste of time. We start with Rock Lee and Master Chen and continue on with the truly awful part 1 one Yota's tale. Truly dog!@#$ episodes people! Give it a listen.
Episode 310 - 311: Cumming in different colors

Episodes 308-309: Thisland and Thatland
The boyz wrap up the Hayate arc with a nice story tying up his mini arc and then Lawson freaks over the name of the Land of This and the Land of That in this intrigue filled filler arc.
Episode 306 - 307: Vince Is Dead
He's not really, but we act like he is! It's two very boring episodes of the Naruto podcast so Lawson and Benel fuck around with tangents for about 20 minutes. If you're just wanting a dry read of the content of the episode, may we recommend Narutowiki or something? We dunno. We're a podcast and we're gonna fuck around this week. Enjoy!
Episode 304 - 305: Sound 4 Again, and Again
We pick up where we left off with more Sound 4 and, to be fair, we're a little distracted to expect a lot of tangents from these episodes where not a lot happens. Did you like the Sound 4 fights in Naruto? Well, these are those fights once again but happening at the same time and then Naruto shows up and shows you why his name is the title of the show!
