    S06E21: Eleven Men and Two Babies

    Did you miss men inside other men? The ol' Pillar Man Shmoo? Well is this the story arc for you. Also discussed: ways to lose money with lesbians, 19th century white American farmers' intense love of Japanese fungus, and what is shonen time and why does it exist in the Milwaukee suburbs. Plus, someone better call Karl Marx because we need to define exchange value and use value before we're all turned into trees. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

    S06E20: Johnny Joestar's Toilet Claw

    Take a drink every time one of us says the word "hole" in this podcast episode (D-don't do that. You'll die.) Today we see that with great power comes weird nail-based fighting techniques. Johnny's Stand is possibly turning into a Loony Toons character. We learn that Gyro and Johnny are the hardiest twinks. Courtney cannot understand how the rules of Sugar Mountain work to save his life. And Eliz definitely knows what sounding is. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

    S06E19: These Boots Were Made For Bad Parenting

    After another long hiatus... we're back! We've got an episode jam packed with facts about the Triple Crown, Gyro Zeppeli's rabbinical energy, and the importance of the golden ratio. Gyro teaches important life lessons to Johnny while they are both hiding in mud with their tongues on fire. We compare the bad parenting of Phantom Blood with the bad parenting of Steel Ball Run. We learn that spin is indeed stored in the balls. And Araki proves once and for all that the Mona Lisa is good for more than just ogling her hands. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

    S06E18: The Cheese Song

    In this episode we cover the first two parts of A Silent Way, one of our favorite Steel Ball Run arcs... and not just because it features Gyro Zeppeli singing about mozarella cheese. We get some of the best ensemble writing and character development yet. Gyro Zepelli convinces a 14 year old girl to commit treason. Diego Brando decides that a good jockey retirement plan is being Mayor of New York City. And Gyro maybe, finally, sort of figures out that the 2000 year old guy they're digging up parts of might, maybe, be someone he's heard of. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

    S06E17: Stand Clothing: Confirmed Invisible

    After all this time we can confirm whose corpse everyone is trying to assemble: some guy named Jesus Christ, never heard of him. We attempt yet again to explain Blackmore’s stand. Diego Brando is back, still 50% dinosaur and 100% hot. This is a Lucy Steel fan podcast now. We are forced to be our own Speedwagon for this fight because nobody will explain what is happening. And Johnny finally gets a spine. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo? Why is everyone talking about it?

    S06E14: Johnny and Gyro Go to an Escape Room

    Gyro takes a moment to try his hand at architecture criticism. We meet a strange man with a skull soul patch who lives in a Zelda forest. We also meet Hot Pants, who will apparently casually lynch anyone who touches their beef and always has shaving cream at the ready. We figure out that Diego Brando is actually devoutly religious (he believes in himself). And we spend far too long trying to figure out if dinosaurs are good at spreadsheets. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.
