She Is...

Dave and Aaron return to their normal format after the Thanksgiving break just as previous Aaron seemed to return to his (rather unfortunate) normal form. The hosts get to brush up on the now classic "toxic masculinity" critique to see if slightly older high-school Aaron has matured at all.

Bad Songs-giving

Aaron's sister delivers on a hope first expressed in episode 5.1 "Not Long Song...Not Long," providing audio files from a cassette tape in Aaron's past.

Not Long Song... Not Long

Welcome to Season 5! Dave and Aaron turn the page in the Wolf Journal to find a new genre of highschool Aaron's writing... lyrics. While this song may have tried to describe the immeasurable feelings of young love, the length of the stanza quite short. Or not nearly short enough according to Dave.
